Clearance of Aircraft Stores Carriage under Uncertainty
SBC: Cmsoft, Inc. Topic: AF18BT008The main objective of this STTR effort is three-fold. First, to develop and demonstrate in Phase I a Bayesian methodology exploiting flight test data in order to identify critical store carriage tests and clear non-critical store carriage configurations by updated analysis. Second, to extend in Phase II the scope of this methodology to viscous flows with analysis enriched using analytical sensitiv ...

High Precision Remote Cardiopulmonary Monitoring through combined iPPG and Low Power Radar
SBC: Cardiac Motion, LLC Topic: AF19AT003Vital sign, such as respiration rate and heart rate, provide important indications of the physiological and mental conditions of an Airman. Being able to understand the physiological and mental conditions of an operator is therefore of vital importance to improving the efficiency and efficacy of future Air Force operations. Current state-of-the-practice in continuous cardiopulmonary vital sign mon ...

Optimization of Sodium Guide Star Return using Polarization and/or Modulation Control
SBC: ROCHESTER SCIENTIFIC, LLC Topic: AF19AT008Large ground-based telescopes require adaptive optics (AO) to correct for distortions introduced by atmospheric turbulence. In order to function, the AO system must track a bright point source. Although a natural star may be used, full sky coverage requires an artificial beacon created with a laser. The most common type of laser guide star (LGS) employs the mesospheric layer of sodium atoms at an ...

Toolset For Prediction of Carbon-Carbon Aeroshell Properties Based OnConstituent Materials And Manufacturing Process Parameters
SBC: ATA Engineering, Inc. Topic: AF19AT021Carbon-carbon (C-C) composites are used in the fabrication of aeroshells and thermal protection systems (TPS) in hypersonic and atmospheric reentry applications because they maintain their strength at elevated temperatures and have desirable thermal conductivity properties. Although these materials have been used in mission-critical components for decades, the effects of variations in processing m ...

Eliminating Ransomware Attacks with Program Access Control (PAC)
SBC: MARC PEREZ Topic: AF19BT001In the wake of ransomware reaching epidemic proportions and the current anti-ransomware products inability to stop its march, there is a great deal of urgency in creating effective countermeasures. Our proposal is to design and subsequently develop a technology called Program Access Control (PAC), that can positively protect data on both consumer and enterprise systems. If successfully deployed, P ...

Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC)-Enabled Chip-Scale Atomic Devices (CSAD) for Precision Navigation and Timing (PNT) Applications
SBC: Intelligent Fiber Optic Systems Corporation Topic: AF19BT001Sensors based on chip-scale atomic devices (CSADs) offer portability, manufacturability, and high performance for precision navigation and timing (PNT) missions. Key systems for PNT including atom interferometric gyroscopes (AIG) and atomic clocks. Ongoing advances and innovations in photonic integrated circuits (PICs) are directly relevant to CSADs. Different material bases have been used in PICs ...

Holistic Interoperable Directional Data Enhancement Network
SBC: Fuse Integration, Inc. Topic: AF17BT003Currently fielded multi-beam CDL systems have been developed in an ad-hoc manner consisting of a collection of poorly integrated off the shelf technologies where controllers, radios, routers, firewalls, encryptors, and antennas are bolted together to reduce time to field.Proprietary APIs, electrical interfaces, and hardware interfaces impede the success of the approach and result in a sub-optimal ...
