Torsion bar systems are simple and rugged suspension solutions that have served the heavy combat vehicle community well for many decades.Although newer systems exist, they come at the expense of complexity and cost, a trade-off that, to date, the programs have been reluctant to accept.Corvid Technologies seeks to conceive, develop, and mature a simple torsion bar upgrade solution that extends the ...

AURA Technologies proposes to continue the development of key components of the next generation tactical power grid. Our innovations allow for the grid to provide far more than reliable, stable power.

Over a decade ago, security practitioners highlighted threats posed by memory corruption exploits subverting systems through manipulation of security-critical non-control-data — without ever corrupting application control-flow. Since that demonstration, however, the full power of data-oriented attacks went largely unnoticed until very recently. One reason for this recent emergence is that exploi ...

Lulaza Aerospace LLC proposes to study the design and rapid manufacture of a “Flying Missile Rail,” an autonomous UAV carried beneath a fighter that can release an AIM-120 missile from captive carry, or alternately can fly away from the fighter to maneuver and/or extend the range of the missile. This air-launched UAV can also carry and launch the Small Diameter Bomb or special payload pod. Thi ...

To reach the end user, oil and gas production at the wellhead must be transmitted through the country and distributed to a wide range of customers. This logistical system requires natural gas gathering lines, processing facilities, product storage tanks and lots of other equipment. What results is air pollution caused by industry losses during these operations and the use of continuous or intermit ...

Corvid Technologies presents the following proposal to the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) SBIR solicitation MDA17-009 entitled Radar Cross Section (RCS) Testing for Modeling and Simulations. Here, we propose the development of algorithms and processes to significantly reduce the burden and cost associated with RCS measurements conducted in support of MDA and other Department of Defense customers. Th ...

Corvid Technologies proposes to develop a real-time trajectory generation and optimization tool for integration into hypervelocity projectile (HVP) weapon systems. This technology will use the massively parallel computing power of graphics processing units (GPUs) to perform numerous simulations of HVP shots in short runtimes. The GPU based trajectory simulation tool will include a full six degree- ...

Vadum will develop an algorithm to generate and optimize Hypervelocity Projectile (HVP) trajectories as both an analysis and tactical battle management tool. The Optimal Advanced HVP Trajectory System (OATHS) will respond to threat track updates as they are received from upstream processing elements and will be capable of optimizing trajectories for a variety of different threat types with differe ...

Corvid Technologies proposes to develop a process to optimize an HVP warhead for the destruction of ballistic missile re-entry vehicles (BMRV) using high fidelity modeling and simulation techniques.The concept for the proposed design is to dispense a spatial array of dense metal long rod penetrators (LRP) of varying lengths and masses into the path of an incoming re-entry vehicle.A variety of LRP ...

Primal Space Systems (PSS) will prototype the GPEG.MIL (Geometry Pump Engine Group) protocol for efficient 3D geospatial data streaming over constrained tactical networks. The Phase I effort will demonstrate that the unique method of encoding and streaming this 3D data as visibility event (VE) packets could provide a >5x reduction in bandwidth requirements for streaming large urban canyon data set ...
