In-orbit servicing, assembly, and manufacturing (ISAM) technologies are taking the space industry by storm and will undoubtedly shape the future industry. These ISAM services generally focus around providing mobility for different spacecraft improving lif

The space domain is changing with in-orbit servicing, assembly, and maintenance (ISAM) technologies quickly dominating new spacecraft designs and developments. A future space economy undoubtedly will be based around ISAM services for satellites. As these

The US Space Force (SF) wishes to advance existing dual-purpose interface technology for its modernization priorities in broadly identified segments. A rad-hard SerDes is a “must” technology to have in any electronic system, or a set of systems, in which

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

Ravensafe provides a portable energy storage solution that negates the use of fuel generators for providing instant power. The portable energy storage system can be recharged by grid power, solar, or generator. The power is stored in a hybrid lithium ion

Security Forces is transitioning to a new Weapons Qualifications Course that will significantly increase the number of iterations that Defenders conduct at the firing range. Going forward, all personnel will receive firearms training on a monthly/quarterly basis (as opposed to annually) at outdoor ranges with distances of 25 - 400 meters.  Bullseye Targets Systems LLC has developed the Bullseye T ...

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. ...

Istari, partnering with the Sensing Perception Autonomy and Robot Kinetics (SPARK) Lab at MIT, proposes to study the feasibility of integrating pose estimation and object detection algorithms developed at MIT into the Air Force digital aircraft design certification procedure to target improved model performance.  The SPARK Lab has developed highly accurate methods to certify pose estimations and ...
