The STRATFI Earth 616 project will create a proof of concept secure Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) based environment to provide near real-time visibility and traceability, along with associated securing of digital assets, for parts and data from an i

By employing hive-like communications, adaptive sensor packages along with swarm-based collection and processing across all deployed ground, drone, and airframe platforms, a virtual, composable software environment (CSE) is formed for the rapid insertion of new capabilities into existing platforms. Forward operators can compose software processing chains (workflows) in response to changing or unex ...

This Phase II SBIR proposal presents a new platform for development, validation, and deployment of health and status assessment and decision support applications. At the core of this platform is MSI’s Collaborative Bayesian Application Engineering Environment (CBAEE) for developing models supporting signature recognition, condition assessment, and decision support. This Collaborative Engineering ...

MZA proposes a Directed Energy Decision System (DEEDS) inspired by the considerable experience MZA has gained in system modeling and atmospheric characterization for effects modeling and our progress made under the initial Phase II contract.  The approach relies on numerical weather prediction or real-time meteorological and turbulence measurements data input to Laser Environmental Effects Defini ...

ABSTRACT:This effort will provide both a rapid, satellite thermal modeling tool and deployable radiator system specific to Responsive Space needs. The thermal analysis tool will allow users to make rapid decisions and apply appropriate hardware from a specific RS thermal toolbox. The deployable radiators, being a key component of this toolbox, will provide near isothermal radiator surfaces and a h ...

AeroCore is the inventor of innovative engine wash technology and has received full FAA acceptance across all aircraft engines types/models. AeroCore’s foam restoration process uses pre-existing OEM and MIL-Spec approved gas-path detergents to restore jet engines on-wing. AeroCore’s patented technology creates the necessary and beneficial cellular structures for complete blade and co ...

MZA proposes the development of the Integrated Directed Energy Aero-optical Surrogate (IDEAS) which consists of a 1/4th scale aircraft parent model and a laser pod architecture with modular beam director and supporting flow control configuration for transonic and supersonic aero-effects testing at the AEDC 16T wind tunnel. The laser pod model may be remotely articulated to point in arbitrary direc ...

ABSTRACT: Space Situational Awareness is concerned with the physical characteristics, capabilities, operations, health, and potential threats posed by space objects. This information is gathered largely via radar and optical data collection facilities. Due to the increasingly large number of space objects and relatively limited number of collection facilities, it's important that collection operat ...

This effort will develop a universal launch system for use on launch vehicles specific to ORS needs. The system will include a payload adapter that provides standardized interfaces for the equivalent of eight (8) 3U CubeSat dispensers. In addition, the system will afford the ability to launch payloads requiring dispenser volumes in excess of the current 3U standard in conjunction with a primary ...

The impact of metal whiskers on the reliability of electronics has been exacerbated by environmentally-driven efforts to eliminate lead from tin plating and solders. Even exempt applications, such as military, are affected due to COTS. Foresite, Inc., a consultant, laboratory and test equipment development company, has a goal for the subject research, in collaboration with Purdue University, to ...
