Soil moisture is an important parameter for AF weather measurements and forecasting.It impacts Army operations (off-road mobility, land operations) and Intelligence Communitys knowledge (agriculture: social unrest).AF has classified soil moisture measurements and data as a DoD space-based environmental monitoring gap.If unmitigated, the lack of soil moisture data will diminish our asymmetric advan ...

InGaAs-based extended short-wavelength infrared (XSWIR)-sensitive photodiodes and avalanche-photodiode (APD) detectors will be developed for use in laser rangefinders (LRFs), imagers, and small-pitch multifunction ladar receivers. Through a series of epitaxial growth campaigns, the cutoff wavelength of InGaAs detectors will be extended into the XSWIR while retaining the advantageous cost structure ...

The U.S. Air Force trains and educates a large and diverse workforce to meet requirements across a complex array of missions. Early-stage training in many Air Force Specialty Codes can consist of large corpora of foundational, static material, so training that motivates airmen is a necessary element in helping ensure a supply of qualified personnel in mission-critical areas like aerospace maintena ...

We propose Muse Dev, a software quality platform that integrates multiple advanced static analysis tools into modern development platforms to help developers find bugs earlier and work more productively. Finding bugs early reduces the cost incurred to fix these errors and integrating into existing tools decreases developer friction and increases bug fix rates. This combination of advanced technolo ...

Trillium proposes both hardware and software developments in the Phase II effort to further refine geolocation improvements found in Phase I and design a robust gimbal product that has future expandability. Trillium prototyped and flight tested a number of software algorithms in Phase 1 that can be extrapolated to show CAT-1 geolocation accuracy from a range of 2000ft. However, these were accompli ...

In this effort, Voxtel will design and fabricate multiple, highly efficient, digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital data converters integrated into a monolithic integrated circuit (IC) chip. In Phase I, after refining the requirements with U.S. government and other stakeholders, we will conduct a design trade study that includes optimized configurations of the required data-converter blocks. We w ...

Hemorrhage remains the number one cause of death on the battlefield and is a leading cause of preventable death in military and civilian trauma. Rapid identification of clinically significant blood loss and detection of ongoing blood loss are critical combat casualty care requirements. Objective BV determination is a promising diagnostic tool that could accurately direct resuscitation and triage d ...

The Autonomous Environmental Routing Onboard (AERO) system is an innovative software-hardware solution that performs onboard processing of environmental information from multiple sources to execute autonomous route adjustments for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UASs). This processing and resulting autonomy minimizes negative environmental impacts while leveraging advantageous conditions for executing ...
