In this STTP project, AVIRTEK will leverage the tools and algorithms developed in the AMAP Phase II SBIR to develop an AMAP-based Autonomic Security Operations Center (ASoC) system that continuously monitors the cyber resources and services 24 by 7, performs anomaly behavior analysis to detect malicious activities and proactively recommends actions to stop attacks and minimize their impacts. AMAP- ...

Electro-optical infrared and long wavelength infrared detectors and sensors are increasingly important for the Chemical/Biological Defense community. Solid-state optical cooler materials are in demand for replacing mechanical closed cycle coolers used in current LWIR standoff sensors to achieve cryogenic temperatures. Recent advances in optical cooling of rare-earth doped materials are pointing to ...

Today’s modern command and control centers are critical to the operation of the USAF and the successful implementation of US military doctrine. The control center is staffed by dedicated warfighters who are responsible for critical support operations including: mission planning, airspace management, combat assessment, integrated air and missile defense planning, and satellite orbit analysis ...

Alphacore, Inc. proposes to design, simulate, and verify a radiation-hard fully-integrated gallium nitride (GaN) based V-band power amplifier (PA). As detailed in Air Force’s Phase I solicitation subtopic AF182-111 the designed power amplifier will exhibit greater than 30 W of saturated output power (Psat) at power added efficiency (PAE) level of >30%. The amplifier will maintain this outpu ...

The Air Force is seeking the development of an Antenna Electronics (AE) for a Controlled Reception Pattern Antenna (CRPA) system that provides an anti-jam (AJ) capability covering four GNSS frequency bands. Existing AEs can provide simultaneous protection of L1 and L2 – but a navigation system utilizing L5 and E6 as well would improve satellite visibility, be more resistant to spoofing, and ...

Our ability to respond to new chemical and biological threats is limited by a lack of facilities, personnel, and equipment able to rapidly conduct precision molecular analysis. We can remove this bottleneck by deploying a protective network of new automated, high performance surveillance equipment around ordinary warfighters and civilians for the first time. Sensitive enough to detect all manner o ...

Problem: Smartphones and other mobile devices are becoming AF users’ primary digital tool, overtaking computers and desk phones as their go-to devices. However, these commercial devices are susceptible to being comprised, are carried with users everywhere, and are now restricted from secure spaces due to their ability to listen through microphones and watch through cameras. Blanket mobile d ...

SOURCE is a Hydropanel, a solar-powered technology needing only sunlight and air to make drinking water. Installed on a rooftop or on the ground, SOURCE extracts water vapor from the air to make, mineralize, and deliver drinking water to a tap. Uniquely independent of infrastructure, SOURCE is the only technology capable of making high-quality drinking water without plugging into an additional ele ...

As the Air Force advances in its technological and operational capabilities, it is more important than ever to develop airman using the most effective tools and processes. This has raised the profile and importance of several training missions including pilot training and maintenance training. The Air Force is seeking to develop innovative systems or prototypes that complement and/or supplement tr ...

Current communication between a Fighter Pilot’s Helmet and the Cockpit is through a sophisticated cable. The requirements for the Helmet Heads Up Display and Video/Audio feed require Giga bps throughput. In this Phase I effort, a millimeter wave wireless system will be designed that supports end to end Gigabit Ethernet through a wireless link with the potential for 3.4 Gbps throughput. The ...
