The problem of measuring the flow of fuel in the testing of military aircraft has, so far, been addressed with the use of conventional inline flowmeters, which require lengthy installation/removal times and substantial modification of the fuel lines to allow sensor insertion.Commercial non-invasive flowmeters do not possess the accuracy and robustness required by the U.S. Air Force in its flight t ...

Currently 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 ...

Using design thinking and a design-based research method, the C5T team will determine if it is feasible to design and develop an application that allows the AF and larger Joint C2 community to rapidly assemble geographically-separated teams for multi-domain operations and resource them with the tools required to conduct effective strategic collaboration in a virtual environment.Design principles t ...

NextGen Aeronautics (NextGen) is proposing to advance state-of-the-art (SOTA) wireless instrumentation systems technologies for Air Force to pass data without line of sight within a metal aircraft. We are proposing a modular wireless data transfer system to be built on NextGen teams extensive knowledge and experience of building miniaturized modular sensory systems and a series of legacy programs ...

We will research a wide range of strategies regarding effective formation and collaboration of multi-domain teams.Our efforts will provide novel solutions to the problem of distributed and disparate strategic planning using advanced HCI, gamefication and data analysis.We intend to develop a test environment to determine the efficacy of our hypothesis and ultimately to develop a secure, cloud-based ...

Vital 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 ...

Current techniques for supporting Multi-Level Security (MLS) on embedded devices rely on maintaining secure connections back to centralized servers or dedicated computers for managing authentication and access controls.To provide the embedded devices with the capability to handle content of differing security levels directly on device, the operating system (OS) must properly and securely isolate u ...

RTI is proposing to develop a comprehensive connectivity framework that will optimize communication, ease development and security, allow for incremental improvements, prioritize data, and adapt to changing topology in tactical Disadvantaged, Intermittent, and Low-bandwidth (DIL) environments. It will significantly reduce propagation of low value and control data across congested links and reduce ...

Carbon-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 ...

The proverbial multi-INT firehose is well documented. There is simply too much data for any team of human analysts to effectively digest and process in real (actionable) time. Consequently, for many years now, there have been numerous attempts to automate multi-sensor exploitation techniques so as to reduce operator(s) workload.Recent advances in machine intelligence and deep learning have rekindl ...
