The C-130 Hercules Transport Aircraft is subjected to a wide range of environmental severities, and schedule-based corrosion maintenance processes are insufficient to optimize corrosion management for individual aircraft.  Improved corrosion management ca

The Air Force and other DoD agencies currently administer BFI Personality Tests to new recruits and other personnel through the Tailored Adaptive Personality Assessment System (TAPAS) to assess their personality and motivation and to predict their perform

The specific technical problem/opportunity addressed in Phase I is the DAF needs to know what is inside suspicious objects, but seeing is not the same as identifying. No current technology can economically do both, as X-rays only see shapes, and modern th

In this Phase I effort, Perceptive Innovations (PI2) and team will design a DMARS system with size, weight, and power (SWaP) consistent with head-worn implementation, estimate all performance metrics via laboratory experiments and analyses, develop a syst

The United States Air Force (USAF) spends billions of dollars annually on critical systems, such as aircraft, missiles, and satellites. However, the DOD 5000.01 acquisition process is complex and involves extensive regulatory requirements, leading to chal

For decades, the Air Force flightlines have been plagued by a lack of data connectivity, and as technology advances, this digital divide has grown wider. Aircraft maintenance, communications, and training have all gone through digital transformations that

Decentralized Command and Control (C2) of Autonomous Systems refers to the distribution of decision-making authority among multiple autonomous systems, such as drones, as opposed to a centralized control structure where a single entity makes all decisions

VivSoft is providing Natural Language Processing (NLP); Data Engineering; R2D2; and a Unified Platform (UPv1) support to create an environment which will provide secure collaboration in the development of MLOps capabilities for the LevelUP program.  To su

Fog and smog reduce visibility at sea, greatly impacting ship navigation and safety. Low visibility marine conditions decrease speed and safety of commercial fleets and increase costs through poor fuel load planning. The COVID-19 pandemic underscored the importance of maritime operations to the supply chain; therefore, decreasing associated cost and risk are of the utmost importance. Applied Ocean ...

"Metron proposes to develop user-friendly software to promote understanding of impacts due to cascading climate hazards and extreme weather events, in collaboration with George Mason University (GMU). Climate and extreme weather (CEW) hazards pose significant risks to life and property. As extreme events become more prevalent, risks associated with cascading, compound events come to the fore, such ...
