In manned aviation environments – both military and commercial – AI support is being developed and researched for ground-based planning and operational decision support. Using AI in real-time with crews poses additional questions and issues. This research will provide the means to understand the measures and requirements to architect potential AI-Agent solutions before implementation. This fea ...

Sensor systems aboard aircrafts address unique problems and are siloed in their objectives. A data silo is a term used to describe a data system that is insulated from other data systems. While keeping information categorized may lead to easier organization, the costs often outweigh the benefits. In aviation systems, data silos often lead to miscommunication, cognitive overload, and waste. These d ...

Soldiers conducting missions on foot in remote locations must carry multiple battery powered electronic devices, such as multiband radio sets, night vision goggles and scopes, GPS tracking, thermal imagers, target designators, etc. These devices allow soldiers to target, move, and communicate in the modern battlefield. Depending upon the type of mission and its duration, soldiers might not have th ...

Warfighters need batteries capable of operating power hungry devices for longer missions while reducing the weight they must carry. USSOCOM’s 16Ah / 500 Wh/kg goal in a PRC-148 sized pack is ambitious — approximately double the existing options on the market. Thankfully, there are several cell technologies that exist at the lab/prototype level, and a handful that will be mature enough in the s ...

In a business where collaboration and rapport is critical, having Hokkien speakers may make or break a relationship with a partner nation. The military has linguists and contract translators, in addition to organic foreign language speakers; however, resources are extremely limited, so it is critical to invest in technologies that can enhance, enable, and complement existing resources. To address ...

TAC proposes to conduct a feasibility study into a solution that streams open standard Tactical Common Operating Picture (COP) data from a range of applications on handheld devices (such as the Tactical Assault Kit and National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency’s Mobile Awareness GEOINT Environment) to operational command systems, and this solution will effectively extend the reach of those devices ...

Optically transparent resistive films with sheet resistivity that varies from that of metals to that of free space would be useful to soften the detected edges of objects and make them less susceptible to detection and identification by RF targeting systems.The objective of this program is to complete a survey of manufacturing methods that could be used to manufacture such a tapered resistance fil ...

Skeyeon, Inc. has developed all technologies necessary to orbit an Earth Observation, EO, satellite at 250 km, developing a vehicle design; atomic oxygen resistant, low drag materials; high bandwidth, real-time RF links; electric propulsion for 3 year missions; and a 1 meter resolution optical telescope compressed into a 10 cm high framework. A constellation of 100’s-1,000’s of these vehicles ...

EMAG Technologies, Inc. (Ann Arbor, MI) is responding to a US Special Operations Command solicitation for a Wideband Global SATCOM (WGS) certified Ka-Band antenna. The solicitation requests the development and integration of a WGS-certified, low-visibility, small-form-factor commercial and military capable Ka-band spread spectrum antenna (KSSA) including the software for the modem to support Ka Sp ...

SeaLandAire Technologies, Inc. (SLA) proposes to meet this Group 2 need with an electric drive concept that will be capable of a 20-30 lbs. modular payload, with comparable range and endurance to current grp 2 ISR UAS, while still maintaining sufficient ISR capabilities. This UAS concept is able to covertly and safely deliver payload to within 1 meter accuracy, then extract a different payload an ...
