On-premise IT applications throughout the Air Force have become slow and unreliable. Airmen are struggling to run cutting edge programs on the aging infrastructure such as virtual reality or 360 immersive videos. Trek10, an Advanced Partner in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) ecosystem, has developed a cloud based, integrated set of tools and team support models to help clients migrate on-premise app ...

Spectral Beam Combination (SBC) has been proven as a scalable beam combining approach for high power fiber lasers. Demonstrations at Aculight have shown 522 Watts of near diffraction limited power from three combined fiber laser sources; and the dispersive element, a Multi-Layer-Dielectric (MLD) diffraction grating, will operate well above 1.5 kWatts/cm2 of incident power allowing ~100 kWatt sour ...

"The Air Force requires the capability to provide cryogenic cooling of electronics, focal plane arrays, and cryogenic fluids for long term (over five year) space missions. In Phase II, we propose to continue developing enabling technology for long-termspace-based low-temperature (

Optically pumped, high power, mid-Infrared semiconductor lasers that operate at cryogenic temperature must be engineered to operate over large ambient temperature and harsh vibration environments to be able to be used in future IRCM systems. The proposed work will demonstrate novel methods of laser packaging that enable operation of a low cost, mid-infrared, semiconductor laser in military tempe ...

Three-dimensional laser radar (LADAR) systems have proven to be effective tools for real time 3D image generation enabling autonomous target detection and recognition. They have demonstrated high probability of detection and identification of unobstructed targets; however, the challenges of extracting sufficient target information out of background clutter can limit the usefulness of these system ...

The prototype for this Phase II SBIR fundamentally provides a way to assure that objectives will be reached given sufficient resources.  This assurance comes from numerous sources.  First, an on-time application provides the means to schedule and dispatch computing resources such that system priorities will be observed.  Second, using a Linda spaces framework provides the means to avoid latenci ...
