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 ...

Existing airborne defense systems integrate a wide variety of sensors necessary to provide operators with situational awareness across the visual, thermal, signals, and electromagnetic spectrums. To date, individual sensor systems have been largely stove-piped, as have Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) and advanced, Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP)-optimized data processing systems. T ...

The broader/commercial impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to increase safety and reduce weight and redundancies for many vehicular systems and electronic devices. This project will also enhance autonomous systems integration in terms of diagnostics and enable reconfiguration for a variety of safety-critical applications. The proposed self-healing, fault-tol ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase 1 project is to provide an in-farm sensing system that will notify sow (adult female swine) farmers of early signs of animal lameness, and thereby reduce early sow mortality and enhance farm productivity. The technology uses artificial intelligence to analyze pig locomotion in order to spot subtle patte ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) project is to develop a new, non-rocket based thrust technology capable of removing debris from space. This project will provide two separate business models including hardware fabrication and testing, and active orbital debris removal services. Six Department of Defense (DoD) and National Oceanic Atmospheric ...
