Impossible Objects (IO) has created a fundamentally new approach to additive manufacturing (AM) called Composite Based Additive Manufacturing (CBAM). CBAM is a superior 3D-printing process, because the material properties of the parts are better, the proc

3Degrees’ TraceAM software is a streamlined platform designed to effectively organize, analyze, and deploy critical technical data packages related to Additive Manufactured parts. It is a secure and customizable interface ideal for use in munitions develo

Solstar’s Critical Data Relay Spacecraft Operational Status (CritDR-SOS), aka Deke, unit integrates with a spacecraft’s Telemetry, Tracking and Commanding (TT&C) system to provide first-ever bi-directional, continuous, internet-based monitoring of the spa

The proposed project intends to reduce the technical and financial risks associated with a disruptive battery technology so that DoD program executive officers and private investors are inclined to finance the commercialization of the technology. The proj

The overall goal of the project is to show feasibility of adapting our proprietary process of manufacturing commercial sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in remote island locations from locally available solid waste, to be able to produce military-specification jet fuel for USAF/DoD use, while maintaining delivered cost at or below the current state-of-the-art for commercial SAF made from solid waste ...

Vendors (large and small) are being contracted to develop novel training applications leveraging the latest technologies. Because of the current siloed nature of acquisitions and program management many departments across the USAF are paying for models and training applications that have already been developed by other departments. Compounding this issue, there are serious limitations with confirm ...

Utilizing MCT’s proven customization development process developed over the past 50 years—including refining requirements, engineering designing, prototyping, testing, mass manufacturing, fielding, and sustaining—MCT proposes tailor-made, cost and time efficient mobile operations/maintenance platforms for DOD, DOE, Federal/State/Local/Tribal Government entities, and commercial sector Custom ...

Typically, anti-EM warfare protection is done by enclosing all electronics in metal electrical boxes.  However, this strategy is limited in several ways:  Firstly, many electronics boards must fit into tight spaces, where the typical machined-metal boxes either can’t fit or cost significant amounts of money to be manufactured; secondly, many electrical boards can overheat when enclosed in a bo ...

To aid in Air Force design and sustainment activities of additively manufactured components, QuesTek Innovations LLC, in collaboration with the University of Utah, will further develop and mature an accurate, efficient, and comprehensive fatigue life mode

The current Phase II project is expanding the CBAM material offerings to include uniaxial carbon-fiber substrates into the CBAM process.  It has already been shown that the strength and stiffness have improved by at least 250-300% (3.5-4x stronger and sti
