  The Air Force Vision for 2030 and Beyond identifies rapid, effective decision-making as a key strategic goal and emphasizes the need to enhance the cognitive capacity of combat decision-makers in response to the increasing complexity and speed of the ba

There is accumulating evidence that excessive noise and vibration from aircraft and/or weapon systems have serious performance and health impacts on Air Force Airmen and other DOD warfighters (pain, hearing loss, fatigue, cognitive and behavioral changes)

Founded in 2020, Boston Geospatial (BG) brings near real-time natural threat intelligence to operators and decision makers using its sensor agnostic radar processing platform. The Air Force Civil Engineering Center (AFCEC) and civil engineering squadrons

Air Force bases face numerous physical security and other challenges that require immediate response and constant vigilance.  Situational awareness and the ability to respond are critical to Airmen and others’ safety and security.  In the United States, m

Lasers can have disorienting and vision impairing effects when directed at the human eye—when directed at an aircraft, the effects can be mission- and even life-threatening. Immediate symptoms can include disorientation, blurred and double vision, headach

Metasurfaces have advanced the field of optics and ushered novel "flat optics” technologies. Making metasurfaces reconfigurable add versatility and tunability to optical technology, enabling programmable photonic integrated circuits (PICs)- the cornerston

Busek Co. Inc has created and patented a tethered spacecraft (s/c) system called SOUL (Satellite on Umbilical Line).  Under various sponsorships including the U.S. Air and Space Force, and NASA, five (5) progressively more capable versions of SOUL have be

The end goal of the proposed work is to develop a prototype radio frequency (RF) situational awareness (SA) system. The proposed system can continuously measure the RF environment around an Air Force Special Warfare Airman or team. This information will h

  The paradigm for the majority of robotic swarm systems today is generally described as Centralized-Control / Decentralized Execution, where a single controller creates tasking for the swarm and and the nodes in the swarm coordinate amongst themselves to

The West Virginia University (WVU) Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources has created innovative Position/Navigation (PN) software for unmanned aerial and ground systems when operating in challenged environments, such as degraded or denied GPS. This distributed system with agents onboard and on the ground uses an Air Vehicle Data Network (AVDN) that requires Resilient Data Management ...
