The Air Force has a need to deliver a payload to a specifically identified target location within prescribed accuracy limits. The delivery system must be small, light-weight, and capable of operating effectively at significantly greater distances than existing man-portable systems. AeroVironment Inc. (AVI) will design, build, test and deliver air vehicles, launchers and ground control units und ...

The USAF repair depots expend tremendous amounts of resources applying high technology thermal spray coatings to improve the performance of components and systems. In general, thermal spray application processes are complex, requires high cost equipment that are expensive to operate, need highly trained personnel and necessitate constant verification testing to ascertain the coatings meet requirem ...

Northrop Grumman Corporation (NGC) has a contract with Lockheed Martin to design, build, and produce the center fuselage section of the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF F-35). There are three ducts which are the primary components of this section – the aft duct and two forward (inlet) ducts – right and left. Due to their length, curvature, and extremely tight constraints, the RH & LH inlet ducts pr ...

The Air Force Smart Operations 21 (AFSO21) initiative is examining process improvements across the service. With this new evolving culture, it is critical to have detailed process definitions as well as a real understanding of how changes in those processes impact the country’s war-fighting capability. The Logistics Composite Model (LCOM) provides an important assessment capability to ensure ope ...

This proposal presents the VAMAV system (Visual Awareness/Avoidance for a Micro Air Vehicle) for monocular visual collision detection and avoidance. Real time collision detection will be implemented using a time-to-collision approach based on area moment estimates of expansion from globally optimal image segmentation. This approach does not require explicit optical flow computations, and avoids n ...

The next generation of autonomously guided munition seekers requires the development of LADAR systems capable of detection through obscurants at greater ranges and with greater precision and speed while reducing system cost, weight, and power consumption. Aerius Photonics has developed an advanced in-line optical preamplifier (I-LOP) technology to enhance the performance of LADAR receiver systems ...

Our software an end-to-end AI development toolkit with model validation & verification, explainability, and security built-in. We will configure our automated quality assurance, performance and security testing ...

We are seeking to adapt our flagship product PR Lotion to solve the critical and widespread issue of tactical dehydration among aircrew. Tactical dehydration is the practice of limiting fluid intake to reduce the need to void the bladder in flight. Tactical dehydration risks lives and aircraft by reducing cognitive ability in flight due to dehydration. We propose adapting PR Lotion, which is known ...
