Today’s aerospace industry struggles to rapidly design, experiment, and field novel aerospace and defense capabilities because of the “lock in” business practices of major prime contractors. The rise of computational tools has not shortened design and build timelines over the last 50 years because their use has been offset by a “hard tooling” mindset investing in overly durable and compl ...

On behalf of the U.S. Air Force, AFRL’s Center for Rapid Innovation (CRI) sought a Command and Control (C2) capability to bridge the information gap and unify the many disparate data sources required for Situational Awareness (SA) and Decision Support in the maintenance and security operations of US ICBM missile fields. The scope of this effort is to further develop the foundational technology c ...

Weldments that join plates of aluminum or steel combat vehicle hulls can be the lowest strength area of the structure and thus provide a decreased level of ballistic protection. To avoid welds, seamless hulls could be formed from thick plate if a suitable manufacturing process is developed. Corvid Technologies, teamed with Concurrent Technologies Corporation (CTC) performed a series of modeling, s ...

Carver Scientific Inc. (CSi) is developing a mobile self-contained integrated MicroClimate Heating and Cooling (MCHC) device for dismounted operator use that will be integrated with CSi’s lightweight Entropic Energy Storage Device (EESD). The EESD is intended to power the MCHC for a 72-hour mission. During the initial Phase II work, CSi proved feasibility of the MCHC product by developing s ...

The goal of this project is to design, build, and test an active electromagnetic induction (EMI) sensor array for detecting and characterizing IEDs. At low frequencies (below a few kHz), an EMI sensor is a magnetometer that primarily responds to susceptibility targets (i.e., ferrous objects). The main difference is that, while a magnetometer uses the earth’s field as the illuminating source, an ...

Augmented Reality is one of the foremost technological solutions to many of the problems in the workplace. Currently we rely solely on our eyes to diagnose and solve problems. We at 3D Media will solve this by creating software for existing AR Safety Glasses to give flight line mechanics the ability to function with an Augmented Reality (AR) Heads-Up Display (HUD) and parts recognition to increase ...

We propose to create a system that integrates simulation capabilities into design software that will allow MDA the ability to quickly vet new AM parts with 150x improvement in efficiency. This will allow more machine up time, less cost, and faster design iterations.

For this Phase II effort, Fluree has the support of LevelUP Code Works to enhance its existing infrastructure and ultimately deploy the Fluree Data Management Platform to the Iron Bank for use throughout the DoD. This Phase II effort will be a research and development (R&D) expansion of the activities currently underway with the Data as a Service (DaaS) project in support of key and critical Level ...

Traumatic head and neck injuries account for 16-33% of all war-related injuries and are a leading cause of mortality upon evacuation to a definitive care setting. Therapeutic advances are urgently needed for these soldiers. This application is focused on treating one of the most important determinants of outcome from severe head injury, the degree and duration of elevated intracranial pressure (I ...

The Army needs a low-cost, widely-deployable system that performs route planning in real-time and provides access to a threat database and blue force positions. To date, no such system exists. In partnership with Comtech Mobile Datacom Corporation, Primordial proposes to combine innovative features from its revolutionary Ground Guidance software with the rugged, reliable, and battle-proven Movem ...
