Development of hypersonic aircraft and weapon systems has become a critical focus for the Department of Defense to maintain global strike and projection of force capabilities. Despite decades of research, traditional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods are either incapable of adequately predicting complex features in hypersonic flows or too expensive to be of practical use for vehicle desig ...

The ability of USAF/USSF  systems to successfully execute current and future missions is predicated on timely and exquisite situational awareness of the aerospace platform itself and its interactions with the environment. This foundational situational awa

Freedom Flight Works’ (FFW) Powered Parafoil Munitions Delivery System (PP-MDS) builds on the foundation of the Joint Precision Aerial Delivery System (JPADS) family of air-dropped, guided parachutes built for cargo delivery.  FFW is adding integrated pro

The Department of the Air Force (DAF) requires production-scale digital engineering software tools that enable the generation of synthetic data sets to training computer vision models in distributed interactive simulation environments, in order to provide

To address the Chemical and Biological Defense (CBD) agency’s need for a new deep learning (DL)-based threat detection solution that fuses imaging sensors and chemical/biological sensors to detect and locate concealed chemical threats, Intellisense Systems, Inc. (Intellisense) proposes to complete the development of the new Chemical-Imaging Registration and Multi-modal Analysis (CIGMA) solution. ...

Areté proposes a method to address midcourse missile defense via advanced algorithmic techniques combined with a strong theoretical backing in physics.

Firestorm is proposing a research and development effort to operationalize "xCell" – a mobile munitions manufacturing capability for loitering Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), enabled by 3D printing and additive manufacturing. The goal of the project is to

Areté proposes a method to address a degraded environment for missile defense via advanced algorithmic techniques combined with a strong theoretical backing in physics. Approved for Public Release | 23-MDA-11635 (9 Nov 23)

The XTG (pronounced “ex-tag”) smart tag system, provides individual device authentication, traceability, and a higher standard of security with an information rich system able to record, view, and analyze each tagged product’s full provenance production history.  The XTG system serves as a holistic solution, capable of combining and incorporating device level traceability data across both m ...

Robotic systems in general, and Unmanned Arial Vehicles (UAVs) in particular, pose a threat for both military and civilians when in the wrong hands. The triad of Kinetic, High-Power Microwave and Laser weapon systems currently used or considered for Counter-UAV (C-UAV) operation though effective in disrupting their performance, might be hazardous when used in a populated area. In the Phase I progr ...
