The Technical Problem: The Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center (AFNWC) and the broader Department of Defense (DOD) require operational agility that can only be achieved through the implementation of Software Defined Weapon Systems. In today's modern systems,

Classifying and marking documents in the Department of Defense is largely a manual process. Manual classification is challenging, time-consuming, resource-intensive, and sometimes inconsistent. Recent advancements in AI and large language models (LLMs) ar

Solstar’s Critical Data Relay Spacecraft Operational Status (CritDR-SOS), aka Deke, unit integrates with a spacecraft’s Telemetry, Tracking and Commanding (TT&C) system to provide first-ever bi-directional, continuous, internet-based monitoring of the spa

DoD’s 2018 Artificial Intelligence (AI) Strategy [1] noted that adversaries and strategic competitors such as China and Russia are making significant investments in AI technologies for national security purposes. Since 2018, DoD has made organizational changes and is investing billions of dollars to incorporate AI technology into its operations. However, there exists a potential for unintended c ...

Within three months, SHE BASH will conduct the research necessary to confirm the applicability of their Department of the Air Force Enterprise Public Key Infrastructure (DAF ePKI) solution to determine how the capabilities of the technology can address well-defined defense needs and conduct outreach with empowered and committed USAF Customers and End-Users to plan a SBIR Phase II prototype effort. ...

Utilizing MCT’s proven customization development process developed over the past 50 years—including refining requirements, engineering designing, prototyping, testing, mass manufacturing, fielding, and sustaining—MCT proposes tailor-made, cost and time efficient mobile operations/maintenance platforms for DOD, DOE, Federal/State/Local/Tribal Government entities, and commercial sector Custom ...

Luminescent solar concentrators (LSC) is a laminated solar window technology that enables window-integrated sunlight harvesting for electricity generation, in which an portion of light absorbed by the window “tint” is shifted to a specific color by quantum dots (QDs) and directed towards small solar cells attached at the edges of the LSC. Inherently, laminated glass LSC solar windows combine t ...

The IGI Gravity Force Absorber lessens the forces on jumpers (decreasing injuries) and equipment are exposed to. IGI testing has been completed by NATIC and reduced force reduction by 30% improving the survivability of the jumper, the canopy, and the equipment.  

The Legionarius smart combat shirts are capable of detecting vital signs and penetrating wounds to the warfighter (shot, shrapnel, cut, burn), autonomously sending out an alert via Android Tactical Assault Kit (ATAK) and the Air Force Battlefield Assisted

This program addresses the Space Force need for an improved optical system to provide persistent location and change detection monitoring of GEO-belt satellite orbits.  The RSOs (Resident Space Objects) can be in either stable and unstable orbits, and oft
