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

Vendors (large and small) are being contracted to develop novel training applications leveraging the latest technologies. Because of the current siloed nature of acquisitions and program management many departments across the USAF are paying for models and training applications that have already been developed by other departments. Compounding this issue, there are serious limitations with confirm ...

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 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

The airborne precision delivery mission will need to be conducted from higher altitudes and higher speeds when faced against a near peer threat in both urban and rural operational environments.  With the greater standoff distance, operators will require t

The DoD is deeply investing in the development of more sophisticated sensor technologies and human performance analysis tools. Unfortunately, most of the relevant sensor data and associated toolsets (e.g., applications, AI engines, classifiers, etc.) are

With a reduced cost to acquisition and a low operating cost per hour, these unmanned systems are perfect for the needs of the DAF and commercial customers. Additionally, the XVH-100 has proven its technical merits Through foundational technology in prior

America's adversaries are making significant scientific advancements in hypersonic propulsion technology, leaving the U.S. Air and Space Forces vulnerable.  All aerospace capabilities ultimately depend on propulsion.  Mountain Aerospace Research Solutions
