Target Arm proposes a feasibility study for developing Non-Cooperative Target Capture (NCTC) with a space-based adaptation from an Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) Universal Launch and Recovery (ULaR) platform for debris/adversary micro-satellite capture. Ou

To address the U.S. Space Force’s need for grappling of uncontrolled and unprepared objects, Kall Morris Inc (KMI) is developing the REACCH soft-capture end effector, which provides secure control of RSOs to support the warfighter. The REACCH end effector

To address the U.S. Space Force’s need for RSO servicing and remediation capabilities, Kall Morris Inc (KMI) is developing methods to permanently attach supplementary modules to RSOs to provide multiple capabilities that support the warfighter. This attac

To address the U.S. Space Force’s need for cost-effective active debris removal, Kall Morris Inc (KMI) is developing a deterministic optimization algorithm that provides the orbital parameters for an optimal collection point in which a processing space station could be placed. These parameters are vital to achieving widespread remediation of the orbital debris problem, as bringing multiple RSOs ...

Life-time prediction and reliability of composites performance under combined high-intensity radiation and thermal effects is of significant interest in space  industry. By developing a modular platform for systematic coupling of different damage models,

Identification and Significance of the Innovation The US Space Force has identified a need to keep the space environment safe for US assets, requiring the ability to clear debris and derelict satellites in GPS-denied environments. Navigating orbital mechanics is a delicate dance during final approach and capture of a resident space object (RSO), especially in a GPS-denied environment. Simultaneous ...

sci_Zone and Johns Hopkins University are proposing QuickSAT/VMS and SHERLOCK-MD, a system for Vehicle Health Management, vehicle inspection-sensing-characterization, and Fault Detection with Fault Classification Functions. QuickSAT/VMS, a flight proven e

The firm proposes a real-time, fiber-optic rotor blade tip deflection monitoring platform based on a fiber-optic strain sensing approach that is capable of operation through a passive fiber-optic rotary joint.

The US Air Force is looking for a miniaturized Radio Frequency System on Chip (RFSoC) solution. As IMSAR understands the problem, the customer currently operates large radars that are attached to towers at a military testing facility and are used to colle

Tool tracking systems are deployed in mission-critical environments that cannot afford the FOD and FME risks that come with relying on employees to manually track and record the hand tools, power tools, and equipment they use throughout the day Technician
