Current dismounted Special Warrior systems for AFSOC include a PVS-14 or PVS-31 analog night vision goggle, mini thermal monoculars, a laser range finder, and TACP computer kits connected by radios to other battlefield entities. Over time, the kit has exp

An autonomous unmanned systems (AUS) consists of a wide array of components. Engines, motors, servos, computers, radios, etc must all talk to each other internally within an AUS. The internal functionality is a complex task and varies widely from platform

Viable Gear will provide proof-of-concept for a seaweed-based bioplastic to be used in manufacturing a compostable biotwine for marine equipment, designed to replace petroleum-based plastics. This addresses NOM-SBIR research topic area 9.3, The Changing Ocean - specifically to "support increased protection and restoration of marine and coastal habitats to enhance vital ecosystems", by helping decr ...

SpaceLoon proposes to design, prototype, and test a consistent, reliable, and bi-directional Controlled Altitude Ballooning (CAB) system for monitoring climate constituents, such as energetic particles (solar and cosmic) and thermodynamic variables, across various atmospheric layers. The absence of linkage between space weather events and atmospheric physics, chemistry, and dynamics, creates voids ...

There is a need for more capable and affordable means to measure optical properties and biological constituents of marine and freshwater environments. These measures are crucial for estimating the abundance of organisms such as those producing harmful algal blooms (HABs). Affordable and effective methods to extend the measurement range and improve sensitivity of traditional optical instruments wil ...

The US Air Force is looking for a miniaturized Radio Frequency System on Chip (RFSoC) solution. As IMSAR understands the problem, the customer currently operates large radars that are attached to towers at a military testing facility and are used to colle

Ombra, a Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), is working on a Phase I feasibility study to develop a Secure Autonomous Weatherproof (SAW) Toolbox as a modular tool control sensor suite that can be retrofitted into existing Air Force too

We propose a tiered development of cislunar autonomous navigation (CANav) technology based on existing multi-GNSS constellations and their augmentation so as to provide accurate and resilient navigation solutions to support USSF missions to defend and pro

Tool tracking systems are deployed in mission-critical environments that cannot afford the FOD and FME risks that come with relying on employees to manually track and record the hand tools, power tools, and equipment they use throughout the day Technician

The firm proposes a real-time, fiber-optic rotor blade tip deflection monitoring platform based on a fiber-optic strain sensing approach that is capable of operation through a passive fiber-optic rotary joint.
