The scope of this work includes design, analysis, manufacturing, integration, and test of the GO1 hypersonic flight test platform. The Contractor shall complete design of the system, qualify the system for flight through ground testing, and validate the f

Technology Service Corporation (TSC) will develop innovative waveforms and exploitation algorithms for concurrent synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and moving target indication (MTI) in contested RF environments to counter emerging threats from commercial un

There is a need to develop a sufficient-fidelity simulation tool to create multi-sensor datasets for human activity detection and recognition. To address this critical need, Intelligent Automation Inc. (IAI), Infoscitex Corporation (IST), Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), and Raytheon IDS propose a novel, integrated, high-fidelity simulation tool: HumanView (HumV) of human signatures. The p ...

As the need for engaging targets in difficult environments grows, ultra-wideband and structurally integrated antenna architectures have gained interest. However, these antenna architectures must conform to the limited size and overall outer-mold line of the weapon platforms. Next-generation seekers must perform frequency agile radar and communication waveforms, which will require ultra-wideband ap ...

To further enhance our ability to assess orbital events in the context of highly complex and ever evolving situations, provide a fuller understanding of the space operational picture, support indications and warnings, and to provide tactical protection of U.S. space assets, ADS has assembled a world class team of experts in the fields of Finite Set Statistics (FISST) and probabilistic reasoning fo ...

Innovative Advanced Materials (IAM), Inc., founded by MBE expert Dr. W. Alan Doolittle, has developed a new generation of MBE tools with revolutionary capability and remarkably lower cost than legacy tools and proposes to construct a prototype tool to demonstrate its power. The prototype tool will be delivered to AFRL for use in the growth of Gallium Oxide shattering current technical roadblocks c ...

ALAE proposes to develop a reconfigurable test adapter (RTA) that adapts differences between existing automated test equipment/ systems (ATE/ ATS) to ensure efficient, cost-effective test program set (TPS) transportability. Wiring from core versatile depot automated test station (VDATS) instrumentation will be routed to the RTA. Various standard unit under test (UUT) interfaces will be explored an ...

In many DoD intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) scenarios, the data streams not only have a high dimensionality, but also belong to different sensing modalities. Current ISR surveillance typically employs stove-piped exploitation systems. Based on a single sensing modality, a stove-piped system senses, captures, and processes only one kind of target signal or signature. IFT propos ...

The US Air Force seeks an innovative nondestructive evaluation (NDE) technique to assess the integrity and microstructure state of integrally bladed disk (IBD) airfoils after repairs. To address this critical need, X-wave Innovations, Inc. (XII) is developing an innovative Quantitative Acoustic Microscopy (QAM) technology, which is based on XII-developed Time-Resolved Acoustic Microscopy (TR-AM). ...

Highway-rail grade crossings, at which there is an abrupt change in the level of the road surface as it crosses the tracks, present a severe hang-up risk to vehicles with low ground clearance. In Phase I and II, ATR developed a conceptual design for a Low Ground Clearance Vehicle Detection System (LGCVDS) to actively prevent such accidents. The LGCVDS is able to use a priori crossing profile data ...
