Open Call for Innovative Defense-Related Dual-Purpose Technologies/Solutions with a Clear Air Force Stakeholder Need
SBC: Photon-x, Inc. Topic: AF192001Photon-X proposes testing a small UAS-mounted, passive, high-resolution 3D sensor to find and identify multiple types of objects at various distances and in differing environments. The Photon-X dataset can then be utilized by the AF to compare the Photon-X datasets clarity, quality, and distances with existing sensor datasets such as LIDAR and Radar. Photon-X’s Spatial Phase Imaging (SPI) i ...

Attachable Jamming Module for C-sUAS
SBC: Invisible Pack, Inc. Topic: AF182003This proposal describes a very short-range jamming module that attaches to AF Security Forces Remington 870 model shotguns to augment their performance with the ALS skynet round. The module makes the threat drone 'freeze' long enough for effective deployment of the net round. This module can be used with any C-sUAS weapon or platform deploying ALS net rounds. It can also be mounted onto a pistol g ...

High Energy Laser for C-UAS
SBC: MAINSTREAM ENGINEERING CORPORATION Topic: AF182003Both commercial and military laser systems can be effective but have limited applicability for counter unmanned aircraft systems (C-UAS). Commercial lasers are underpowered and unsuitable for military environments, while military lasers are too large, heavy, and expensive for tactical applications. In Phase I, we will assess the feasibility of modifying commercial lasers for C-UAS applications. Th ...
