Integrated Simulation Test and Analysis for IoT (InstaIoT) offers a cloud-based platform for collaborative IoT modeling and simulation, providing IoT system designers and evaluators a powerful tool to design, test and evaluate the capability and performan

Large-scale military and civilian planning problems are (1) distributed – decision-making is spread across multiple organizations, including organizations that must employ information that they are unable or unwilling to share; (2) heterogeneous – the domains of optimization and local criteria for optimality differ – and (3) hierarchical – higher levels of authority solve abstract versions ...

The objective of this program is to improve the manufacturing processes and production yields of high- performance thin film coatings used in infrared imaging systems. The improvement effort will concentrate on reducing coating absorption and scatter caused by internal and surface defects. The required improvements specifically apply to IR filter coatings positioned in proximity to focal plane arr ...

Currently, defense-wide USG organizations can take weeks to compile critical reports, assembling information and data using the “cut and paste” method. These critical reports synthesize newly available information to assist in decision-making on both a po

Flightline workers currently perform foreign object debris (FOD) checks prior to every airfield entry, which may be adversely affected by various external factors. Any missed foreign object (FO) presents a significant hazard to aircraft operating on the a

The overall objective of this program is to develop an open platform of strategic radiation hardened IP on the commercially available 16nm FinFET foundry technology from Intel to enable development of ASICs, SoCs, and other custom integrated circuits. Trusted Semiconductor Solutions will develop a strategic radiation hardened latches and flip flops, memory bit cells, voltage controlled oscillator ...

Space plasma weather affects the functioning and survivability of orbital space assets. We will design and manufacture a MEMs scale, miniature electrostatic analyzer (ESA) for spaceborne applications that enables measurements of these space plasmas for di

Despite their high prevalence and serious affliction, nightmare disorder lacks recognition, and this continues to be a problem. Patients under-report nightmares to their physicians and it remains underdiagnosed. In one study, 31.2% of active-duty members that presented at a military sleep clinic had at least weekly nightmares with sleep disturbances, but only 3.9% complained about nightmares at th ...

Gallium nitride (GaN) monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs) continue to be the best solution for high power/high-frequency RF/microwave needs due to its high-power RF performances. However, GaN has presented difficulties of not being able to be

It’s time to digitize our Airmen and Guardians and support the DAF innovation and digital transformation priorities at an individual level. The DAF is walking blind into the digital transformation future while our adversaries are building for the future.
