Trusted Science and Technology, Inc. (Trusted ST) forms a strong team with academic partner and proposes to develop the solution called Enhance Security and Improve Resilience in Embedded Systems for Space Force Satellites (ESPRESSO). The project aims to provide a flexible, tailorable embedded system solution with enhanced security and resilience for reliable space mission support via cyber-harden ...

The C-130 Hercules Transport Aircraft is subjected to a wide range of environmental severities, and schedule-based corrosion maintenance processes are insufficient to optimize corrosion management for individual aircraft.  Improved corrosion management ca

Accurate, high-performance 3D vision frameworks will play a key role in the development of advanced manufacturing. These systems will employ the use of powerful data feature extractors such as deep neural networks (DNNs). However, in terms of size, latenc

To aid in Air Force design and sustainment activities of additively manufactured components, QuesTek Innovations LLC, in collaboration with the University of Utah, will further develop and mature an accurate, efficient, and comprehensive fatigue life mode

Conventional “subtractive” machining is a huge industry with critical implications for USAF and DOD. The vast majority of safety-critical parts are manufactured using subtractive machining because it produces excellent dimensional tolerance and a high-qua

The specific technical problem/opportunity addressed in Phase I is the DAF needs to know what is inside suspicious objects, but seeing is not the same as identifying. No current technology can economically do both, as X-rays only see shapes, and modern th

The commercial development of Thermal Protection Systems (TPS)- the material that protects spacecraft and hypersonic vehicles from extreme heat-has suffered a decade-long innovation drought after the conclusion of the NASA Space Shuttle Orbiter program in

SI2 Technologies, Inc. (SI2), with support from the Jordan Valley Innovation Center (JVIC), proposes to accelerate optimization of its digital process for manufacturing printed, dual-sided capacitive sheets (C-Sheets).  The proposed effort will help to ma

DC voltage regulators are crucial DC power management components in practically all modern defense electronics. Next generation satellite payloads require voltage regulators with state-of-the-art SWaP, electromagnetic interference (EMI) attributes, as wel

In a conflict against an advanced adversary, AOC planners are challenged by the cognitive workload to quickly plan a high-sortie rate COA that leverages all domain synergy.  Synchronized multi-domain COAs that meet commander priorities, while servicing hundreds of targets protected by advanced ISR and IADS networks is a complex task.  Metron has partnered with George Mason University to develop ...
