Temperature is the critical signal that allows monitoring of a myriad of Earth’s processes. From direct measurements of wildfire and urban heat to more complex relationships with drought, agriculture, aquaculture, and biodiversity, maintaining a steady pulse on Earth’s surface temperature enables us to mitigate for and adapt to the impacts of extreme events and increasingly variable water avai ...

The brevetoxins (PbTx) produced by Karenia brevis cause harmful algal blooms (HAB) or "red tide" in seawater. Currently, the only available ways of detecting PbTx are laboratory tests such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, which are expensive and slow, and require complex instrumentation and multiple processing steps. In previous work Intelligent Optical Systems (IOS) demonstrated a compact l ...

ISAM missions to date require multi-year development timelines and high NRE costs, particularly in the selection, procurement, integration, and testing of mission-specific rendezvous, proximity operations and docking (RPOD) computing hardware and sensing

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

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has plainly shown the vulnerabilities inherent in the global commercial cellular network, and how those vulnerabilities can be exploited for intelligence or kinetic purposes. Both sides of the conflict have used cell phone loc

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

The Technical Problem: The Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center (AFNWC) and the broader Department of Defense (DOD) require operational agility that can only be achieved through the implementation of Software Defined Weapon Systems. In today's modern systems,

Classifying and marking documents in the Department of Defense is largely a manual process. Manual classification is challenging, time-consuming, resource-intensive, and sometimes inconsistent. Recent advancements in AI and large language models (LLMs) ar

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

DAF/AQ for Space Acquisitions, Frank Calvelli, openly declared in Jan 2023 that USSF will pivot away from monolithic vulnerable and expensive large satellites to massive constellations of smaller, lower-cost, and commercial-grade satellites otherwise know
