This project focuses on the design, integration and optimization of a flexible natural gas combined cycle plant with carbon capture, capable of operating in a highly variable renewable energy environment. Renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power offer unique solutions in our quest to reduce global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. However, the increasing penetration of these high variab ...

krtkl (“critical”) will conduct a Phase I Feasibility Study to identify the best approach for reducing aviator cognitive load by optimizing information delivery and decision-making based on a thorough analysis of existing platforms, sensors, data sources, and onboard compute resources. This information will be used to identify Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning based algorithms for p ...

Special Operations Forces (SOF) operators are among the most elite, and highly qualified individuals in the U.S. military. Extraordinary physical and mental demands are placed upon them, to include superior performance standards, high operational tempos, and the pressure to excel in extreme environments for extended periods of time. In the SOF community, serious injuries are the norm rather than t ...

Multi-Dimensional Event Sourcing & Correlation - Publicly Available Information (PAI) (MDESC-P) will support collection jointly across disparate PAI sources with coordinated cueing of more constrained intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance (ISTAR) sources. The primary objective for MDESC-P is to deliver a scalable and automated PAI collection management solution using a ...

Deep Labs recognizes USSOCOM’s challenge to process multiple data and communications inputs for optimized decision making, and to support rapid on-the-move abilities to learn and communicate knowledge to enhance tactically relevant situational awareness in peer/near peer environments. Deep Labs has proven this capability across complex challenges in the world’s largest commercial enterprises a ...

Precision-guided munitions have demonstrated dramatic effects with minimal collateral damage. New technology developed specifically to deny them accurate guidance information is now feasible, even for non-traditional adversaries. Further, digital communications are flooding the air with signals that interfere with communications many guidance methods rely on. Swarms of small, covert small Uncrewed ...

The US requires standoff precision strike capabilities in GPS-denied and high threat environments. This includes fire-and-forget lock-after-launch vision-based guidance for SOPGM. Due to emerging threats, a paradigm shift is occurring in the way we gather intelligence, maintain surveillance, and perform reconnaissance. ISR platforms are evolving, and artificial intelligence is at the forefront of ...

Phytodetectors will design and engineer a synthetic biological pump circuit to increase the volume of water produced via photosynthetic desalination. This project builds off previous technology designed by Phytodetectors: a mangrove-inspired ultra-filter that allows plants to purify salt water as well as secrete water with properties comparable to bottled water. The partnership seeks to demonstrat ...

Food production, and in particular animal-derived meat products, are a major source of green-house gases, compounded by the remarkable inefficiency in biomass conversion (grain to dense muscle tissue in meat), along with growing challenges with food safety, quality and nutrition. To address this growing problem, we propose to exploit the emerging field of cellular agriculture (tissue engineering o ...
