There is a “race for technologyâ€Â and staying competitive is essential to keeping America safe. By providing warfighters with the most cutting edge technology and processes, the Air Force can continually innovate and evolve. Startup Community Inc (SCI) will help the USAF set the bar for engaging with those creating leading-edge technologies. Our goals are to see a future where: - The ...

Proposed herein are novel design methodologies to create sensors for chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and/or explosive (CBRNE) detection aboard a Small Unmanned Aerial System (SUAS), as well as intelligent Bayesian-based plume analysis and source detection algorithms that offer capabilities for the Air Force above and beyond the state of the art. The assembled technical team of experts ...

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 ...

With over 40+ years of community and entrepreneurial ecosystem building experience across our team, we have the knowledge, network, and frameworks to efficiently research and develop the best approach for the Air Force/AFWERX to expand its entrepreneurial ecosystem and engagement. The ultimate benefit is to keep the USAF and AFWERX competitive through innovation.

Camgian’s offering and capabilities center around the Prowl® Android Tactical Assault Kit (ATAK) Application / Plug-in and the Prowl Radar System. Prowl’s RF architecture, RF signaling, and digital signal processing techniques enable tracking of human targets out to 500 meters in an open field with total power draw of about 1 watt. Prowl is an ideal system for use in Force Protect ...

Current production of AF-M315E relies on foreign sourced materials. It also includes a nitration step to make HEHN from HEH which is currently done in a slow batch process. This program will build a microreactor to continuously produce HEHN, reducing the total time spent on the nitration process from weeks to days. This program will also scale up the electrolytic cell built in the Phase I program ...

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

Current and future explosive munition weapon systems development relies heavily on explosives detonation performance characterization and computational hydro-code simulation research conducted by DoD and DoE research communities. This work in turn relies

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.

ABSTRACT: Flow Modeling and Simulation, LLC (FMS), proposes to develop a computational software tool, herein designated AUG3D, that is intended to provide physics-based, multi-level, validated computational simulations of turbine engine component flow fields, particularly those associated with thrust augmentors, i.e., afterburners. This tool will be ideally suited for closely integrating physica ...
