Award Data

There is a widespread need for beam steering all throughout the DoD. Both the Space Force and Air Force require advanced pointing for imaging and targeting, laser communications, directed energy, and energy transmission systems. Existing pointing systems often account for a significant allocation of Size, Weight, Power, and Cost (SWaP-C). Positional systems are one of the most resource intensive f ...

The United States Space Force (USSF) seeks versatile spacecraft that can perform an array of different types of defense-related missions, such as spacecraft imaging and inspection, rendezvous proximity and docking operations (RPO/RPOD), collision avoidanc

With the Phase II STTR award, Rogue intends to develop a functional multi-purpose CubeSat dispenser system prototype that has been fully vetted and tested in relevant rideshare launch and space environments.   Rogue’s technology development roadmap is dri

Rogue Space Systems Corporation (Rogue) with its partner Dr. Jake Abbott and his team at the University of Utah (Utah) present a novel technology to magnetically detumble and translate resident space objects (RSO) without physical contact with the objects

The USAF is developing engines where performance is currently limited by state-of-the-art high temperature material capabilities. JBE has identified several high temperature fibers that they have experience braiding with and can be made into rope and pill

Human Systems Integration (HSI) is a discipline that focuses on optimizing the interaction between humans, technology, and the environment in which they operate. It is aimed at improving performance, safety, and efficiency by designing systems that consid

The measurement and quality control systems used for military aircraft must be operator independent, traceable, portable, and easy to use. The current hardware used to measure the gear motor interface geometry (hole diameter and taper) on the C-130 propeller uses a mechanical dial gauge coupled with a precision machined “plug” that is operator dependent; is limited to “go/no-go” measuremen ...

The current state-of-the-art high temperature seal must be improved to meet the requirements of hypersonic vehicles.  In Phase I, Jackson Bond Enterprises, LLC (JBE) manufactured “proof-of-concept” improved seals for hypersonic vehicles, demonstrating the feasibility of improving temperature capability (peak temp), electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, and leak-rate.  In Phase II, JB ...

Athenium Analytics will employ semi-supervised learning to reduce the amount of image annotations needed during R&D to more quickly develop new AI image predictors. The annotated attributes will also be used to build on research conducted at Ellsworth AFB on the deterioration of paved surfaces by a combination of liquids that drip or leak from aircraft and extreme temperatures as had been observe ...

The United States Air Force and other service branches need reliable Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) technology for multiple critical missions. Today the military relies heavily on GPS for PNT. However, GPS can be denied, disrupted, or spoofed, making it potentially unreliable in hostile environment. PhasorLab Inc. of Nashua New Hampshire intends to develop and deploy a reliable and resilien ...
