Lumineye provides wall-penetrating radar to help first-responders and soldiers identify people and threats through walls. We propose investigating the utility of our existing through-wall sensor for the Air Force Security Forces. Our device focuses on improving the situational awareness of the AFSF in all law enforcement, emergency response situations, and combat missions. The system will improve ...

The Air Force’s ability to efficiently and effectively supply airmen with the most useful and usable equipment is central to its core mission of national defense. Many airmen, however, particularly women, face obstacles to acquiring and using the equipment that they personally need to train and combat at the highest levels of performance. Our objective is to translate the product vision tha ...

AFWERX has a national defense-related mission need in the area of innovation scale through airmen engagement via crowdsourcing, value tracking and program and platform management for organizational crowdsourcing, organizational engagement, and program scale. Specifically, the Air Force has launched a crowdsourcing tool and needs help ensuring the best use of the platform. There is a gap between th ...

The Air Force wants to introduce new training techniques into their lecture style maintenance curriculum to improve training efficiency, create a more engaging training environment and use online learning to compliment classroom training. By providing an adaptive, continuous learning environment, the Air Force can improve Airmen readiness and provide job aids to bridge the gap between the classroo ...

USAF will spend $6B on contractor Adversary Air (ADAIR) in the next 10 years, and likely an equivalent amount on self-generated ADAIR for F-22 and F-35, which currently have no viable Red counterpart. By 2030, the total number USAF ADAIR sorties fall between 65,000 (minimum) and 150,000 (desired), which will overwhelm the enterprise, irrespective of cost. Estimates are that 60% of these sorties ar ...

Security certification of software for life- and mission-critical systems impacts both cost and schedule. While some microkernels offer significant safety and security advantages over classic operating system and real-time operating system approaches, it remains difficult to certify the resulting systems. It is also easy to construct unsafe and insecure systems based on microkernels. The proposed ...

Stratus is a secure tactical edge cloud that adapts to changes in the availability of compute and communications resources. It supports classified and unclassified computation and communication. The Stratus cloud can be grown incrementally, without need for IT expertise in the field. Cloud management software assigns tasks to cloud resources based on mission priorities, security classification and ...

1. To address the short comings in existing forensics bridge design, reduce the workload of system security staff, and increase the security of assured file transfers, Idaho Scientific proposes a nine month, $150k effort to design and prototype a Secure Assured File Transfer drive. (SAFE-T Drive) is a high assurance purpose built AFT drive with an integrated forensics bridge. SAFE-T Drive will fil ...

Design Analysis for Rapid, Effective Integration and Test (DAREIT) will support rapid deployment of CubeSats by adapting the model-based Architecture Centric Virtual Integration Process (ACVIP) pioneered by the Army. ACVIP employs model-based system engineering to perform virtual integration and testing to identify issues in system designs early when it is orders of magnitude more efficient than f ...

The scramjet engine is the key propulsion technology for enabling hypersonic flight systems. Its components are subjected to high heat loads, requiring complex cooling structures to ensure material survivability. Current fabrication methods have issues with internal surface finish, minimum feature size, maximum part size, channel clogging and high scrap rates. These issues result in cost increases ...
