Just In Time (JIT) Aircraft Maintenance System
SBC: CYBERNET SYSTEMS CORPORATION Topic: AF121225Roughly 40% of USAF maintenance records have poorly coded work unit codes. This degrades aircraft pre-induction analysis and fleet-wide analysis of top drivers. Manual methods to scrub the data take years to develop for each air platform. Cybernet designed a machine learning algorithm to automatically correct coding errors without expert input. The Smart Data Cleanser (SDC) performed 4 years of wo ...

Non-Destructive Evaluation of Thermal Spray Coatings Using Ultra-High Frequency Micro-Induction Inspection Technology
SBC: GRID LOGIC INCORPORATED Topic: AF181049The U.S. Air Force needs to non-destructively and easily inspect thermal spray metallic and ceramic thermal spray coatings on critical surfaces of gas turbines. Current methods fail to adequately detect sub-surface and interfacial defects, and are cumbersome to use, particularly with conformal geometries.Issues exist with capturing accurate measurements over a range of coating and substrate materi ...

Adaptable SoS Environment for M&S Tools
SBC: THERMOANALYTICS INC Topic: AF181063Military sensor models comprise software codes that represent specific sensor technologies, such as infrared, radar, and LiDAR, so that sensor systems can be designed and integrated into Air Force platforms.Operating these codes requires system designers to expend considerable effort in translating the inputs and outputs of the various codes so that they interface properly. Integrating multiple se ...
