The ability to efficiently process intelligence data is critical to fighting the global war on terror. A major source of this data is recorded speech. Therefore, the performance of speech processing applications (speech recognition and speaker identification applications, for example) depends on pre-processing to find the regions in the recording where speech is present. Although current method ...

StarVision Technologies proposes to conduct an experimental feasibility assessment of an innovative and robust Autonomous Aerial Refueling System (AARS). The system has been developed specifically for powered munitions and will provide significant battlefield enhancements by allowing persistent and sustained air operations. The AARS proposed is the result of several years of studies and feasibili ...

Autonomous Aerial Refueling (AAR) of powered munitions can enable persistent loitering and provide significant benefits to future warfighters. The technology has immediate commercial applications and the feasibility of AAR for small unmanned vehicles has been successfully demonstrated in the Phase I project. A total system solution to AAR has been conceived that includes a precision relative nav ...

This innovation proposes the use of a thin film stratospheric balloon to lift a launch vehicle with a payload to an altitude above most of the Earth's atmosphere, then ignite the launch vehicle rocket motor. It will have the capability to carry the payload to its final destination, either into Earth orbit or to the mission design goal. This launch system will eliminate the first stage rocket thr ...

ABSTRACT: The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter uses metal nutplates to secure fasteners in areas that have no backside access at the time of installation.These nutplates are attached with a two-part adhesive which currently requires a 24 hour cure at room temperature.This long cure time negatively impacts the aircrafts availability if an aircraft comes back to the depot and they have a disbond of a nutpl ...

To address the Air Force’s need to rapidly secure, assess, and open an airfield, Tempest Droneworx is exploring the adaption of its Harbinger software in combination with Airspace Situational Awareness Tools (ASATs) developed by its research partner Lone

Nahsai is accelerating the transition of patented multifunctional ceramic material technology for commercial applications. Use cases include wireless self-powered sensors operating in extreme environments within a localized and secure network for sectors that include fuel cells, nuclear power, industrial turbines, and high performance mobility. Target use cases have strong equivalence to the hyper ...

The primary objective of this Phase 1 project is to perform customer discovery to identify an AF Customer and AF End User with a clear need for an adaptation of our EMPACT immersive training platform to accelerate the creation and sustainment of immersive training content relative to programs such as Pilot Training Transformation (PTT). Based on discussions with the 19th Air Force and the PTT orga ...
