Nostromo, LLC  (“Nostromo”) proposes to: (1) optimizes propellant combustion spectrum to produce radiation in a wavelength that optimally charges phosphors; (2) develop and refine a translucent epoxy matrix that can be incorporated into 40mm training and operational cartridges; (3) design, optimize and test phosphors that are configurable in a thin translucent epoxy and can be readily charged ...

Consumer and industry demand for wireless capacity is ever increasing. This has resulted in the US Congress exerting pressure on the Department of Defense to vacate or share operations in portions of S-Band. While the telecommunications industry has increased efforts to sense the presence of federal radar signals and alter permitted commercial operations to avoid interference, the Emerging Mid-Ban ...

Stottler Henke proposes Secure and Efficient Architecture and Protocol via Ledger based Algorithms on decentralized NEtworks (SEAPLANE). SEAPLANE is a certificate-based authentication system which makes use of a hierarchical certificate authentication model. A node will represent a platform and each node will have a CRYSTALS-Dilithium public-private key pair that will be used when signing and vali ...

Dynovas’ Variable-Angle and Optimal Deployment for Anti-Personnel Obstacle Breaching Systems (APOBS-R2) provides a new radical set of tactical capabilities designed to improve the Warfighter’s ability to deploy a line charge and create a footpath through anti-personnel obstacles by directing the soldier to the optimal deployment angle of the breaching system and ensuring the charges are deploy ...

The Multisensor Insitu Data with Machine Learning (MIDML) program will develop a convolutional neural network (CNN) to leverage data generated from multiple AM inprocess sensors. This can provide more accurate and reliable assessments and predictions of final part quality during layer-by-layer fabrication, in real time. The CNN will be developed for maximum prediction accuracy from multiple senso ...

Different classes of Naval weapon systems have historically employed either radiofrequency (RF) or infrared (IR) seekers for target acquisition and tracking, with IR seekers typically being employed on shorter-range weapon systems and RF seekers on longer range weapons. As technical and tactical countermeasures are developed and employed, missile seeker systems must be responsive to remain effecti ...

Sonalysts, Inc. (Sonalysts) proposes a portable expeditionary unit that can deliver Undersea Warfare Decision Support System (USW-DSS) training to the Fleet via an orchestrated containerized system with an integrated training management application to track operator completion and launch training content. Sonalysts’ solution will also include Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) base ...

In this Phase I effort, Tiami, LLC, aims to develop and demonstrate a hardware proof of concept for a collaborative multi-robot system (MRS) that leverages imitative augmented deep reinforcement learning (IADRL) amongst heterogeneous uncrewed systems (robots) to achieve a common task. Collaboration is based on low-latency machine-to-machine wireless links between robots that use both RF and optica ...

Ad Hoc Swarm Modulation and Adaptation focuses on the ability to enable secure cyber communications, data, and distributed AI processing for any robotic swarm in any condition.  The system incorporates a range of multi-robotic system functionality to allow for coordination, cooperation, and reconfigurable methods of robotic teams, flocks, and swarms.  The system further includes methods for swar ...

The US Navy requires unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs) and combatants which are affordable, reliable, fuel efficient, and proven hull forms. Procuring commercially available hull designs provide a cost effective means of achieve this. However, commercially available platforms are typically not designed for fuel efficient operations over broad operational speed ranges required for military vessels; i ...
