Sonalysts, Inc. proposes to research and develop a Common User Defined Operational Picture (UDOP) for the Enterprise Ground System (EGS) for satellite Command and Control (C2). We will research and analyze the human factors affecting operator function and performance across multiple satellite systems, and the common and unique aspects of space systems currently in use. We will develop logical cons ...

The Air Force has identified the need for an interactive and immersive trainer simulator environment that can support an array of instructional capabilities, accurately represent the cyber environment, and not only train cyber operators on current systems

Persistent cyber anomalies (PCAs) pose the biggest risk to corporate and government networks by maintaining persistent access, changing security access control lists, granting access to a protected environment, reconnaissance, and disrupting network traff

A full-featured ADS-B unit for unmanned air vehicles is proposed. In addition to the ADS-B In/Out capability, several features which are customized for UAV operations are included. In Phase I, development of the features will be undertaken, along with pre

Production of hydroxylamine nitrate (HAN) and hydroxyethyl hydrazine nitrate (HEHN) is of great concern for the manufacture of AF-315E. Current stockpiles of heritage ingredients held by AFRL are being depleted and those manufacturers are no longer in exi

Under SBIR solicitation topic AF171-106, the Air Force seeks to enhance the reliability of remotely activated batteries (RABs) for strategic missile applications (Minuteman III and D5), such that these primary batteries, which require a field-life of up t

This Phase II STTR effort is focused on generating the data necessary to identify the phenomenology that produces carbon deposition within kerosene film cooled rocket engines.This data is essential to guide the model development and validation process.Program outputs will be both data and a physics-based model for carbon deposition.

Under sponsorship of the Air Force SBIR program, the small business Advanced Fuel Research, Inc. (AFR) is developing an innovative sensor system to map the surface temperature of thermal barrier coated (TBC) turbine blades during operational testing of advanced military jet engines. Temperature mapping is a high priority capability needed to prove ceramic coatings as a reliable means to prevent bl ...

Gas turbine engine development requires sensors to measure gas path properties in engines during ground testing.  The data collected with these sensors are critical to the development of advanced engines with high performance, high efficiency, and low emissions.  While instrumentation is available to measure most of the important gas path properties, the drive toward higher turbine inlet tempera ...

The drumbeat for higher efficiency gas turbine engines is driving new designs capable of operating at higher temperatures and pressure ratios, in fewer stages, and with higher airfoil loads.   These conditions pose a great challenge for turbomachinery designers.  They must now accurately predict airfoil metal temperatures to design effective cooling schemes that counter the high external gas te ...
