The Technical Problem: The Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center (AFNWC) and the broader Department of Defense (DOD) require operational agility that can only be achieved through the implementation of Software Defined Weapon Systems. In today's modern systems,

Classifying and marking documents in the Department of Defense is largely a manual process. Manual classification is challenging, time-consuming, resource-intensive, and sometimes inconsistent. Recent advancements in AI and large language models (LLMs) ar

DoD’s 2018 Artificial Intelligence (AI) Strategy [1] noted that adversaries and strategic competitors such as China and Russia are making significant investments in AI technologies for national security purposes. Since 2018, DoD has made organizational changes and is investing billions of dollars to incorporate AI technology into its operations. However, there exists a potential for unintended c ...

Within three months, SHE BASH will conduct the research necessary to confirm the applicability of their Department of the Air Force Enterprise Public Key Infrastructure (DAF ePKI) solution to determine how the capabilities of the technology can address well-defined defense needs and conduct outreach with empowered and committed USAF Customers and End-Users to plan a SBIR Phase II prototype effort. ...

The goal of this research and development proposal is to determine the feasibility and necessary composition of a reliable, easy to use rehydration system for blood components including freeze-dried red blood cells, freeze-dried platelets, and freeze-dried plasma. Red blood cells are sensitive to rehydration-induced damage associated with hypo-osmolarity. To address this, DesiCorp proposes a burst ...

The Legionarius smart combat shirts are capable of detecting vital signs and penetrating wounds to the warfighter (shot, shrapnel, cut, burn), autonomously sending out an alert via Android Tactical Assault Kit (ATAK) and the Air Force Battlefield Assisted

Technical Abstract: Faradine Systems (Faradine) in partnership with goTenna seeks to develop a low Size Weight and Power-Cost (SWAP-C), drop-and-go device to serve as a Team Awareness Kit/Tactical Assault Kit (TAK) meshed networked node. This solution wil

In the realm of cyber operations a compromised identity puts warfighter lives at risk and may result in failed operations. The cyber operator of today needs to contend with the next generation of online counterintelligence (CI) and protect their cover. Ne

This Direct-to-Phase II proposal encompasses the refinement, demonstration, and commercialization of the TRL 7 Acclimate technology suite in relevant environments through final requirements identification, engineering refinement, integrated testing and ev

Cybersecurity of avionic embedded systems in various U.S. Air Force (USAF) vehicles have become an urgent concern, due to the supply chain globalization. Supply chain vulnerabilities to an embedded system can be introduced anywhere from original equipment manufacturers, maintenance, repair, and overhaul providers.
