The Sarcos Cybernetic Training for Autonomous Robots - Human Augmentation via Generalizable Mobile Autonomous Robot Dexterity (C-H) program is a second Air Force SBIR Phase II. C-H advances Sarcos’ vision of leveraging the expertise of competent task perf

A combination of DOD modernization priorities and supply chain assurance will require unprecedented development in production of new materials for tomorrow’s warfighter. The legacy chemical industry has assumed a paradigm of mega scale factories which has led to supply chain vulnerabilities due to centralization of manufacturing activity. On the other hand, biological manufacturing paradigm, wit ...

During the Phase II effort, Ballydel Technologies will develop scalable and safe processes for the manufacture of MAX phase and MXene powders in 1Kg batch sizes.  Additionally, our team will implement commercial-scale mixing procedures for the production

As is well noted, GEODSS telescopes are unable to perform their primary space surveillance mission during daytime and weather outages. Passive RF provides a needed augmentation to the GEODSS mission with its ability to maintain custody and support routine

The pace of remotely sensed data collection is increasing exponentially while the skilled workforce that is available to analyze and interpret the data is not. Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers a technology pathway to automation which promises to rapidly reduce the gap between data and information products and services. However, AI techniques require massive quantities of labeled data to train m ...

Hemp-based clothing are excellent for outdoor active wear, due to high strength, UV-protective qualities, mold resistance, and excellent moisture absorption and desorption. While academic research on hemp-based textiles in the US is increasing, it has naturally also become an area of interest to competing countries. Specifically, China is outperforming the US in hemp fiber technological advancemen ...

Low level meteorological data over the world’s oceans is hard to collect, due to the cost and difficulty of sensor emplacement. Crewed aircraft are deployed when major weather events arise, but between those major weather events, in-situ data sources are very limited. Uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) present a unique opportunity to inexpensively collect meteorological data from remote areas, but ...

There is a clear need for a reliable U.S. source of low-cost, ultra-high temperature ceramic (UHTC) insulation for use in hypersonic weapons that can protect internal heat sensitive components. ACM has developed high porosity, ultrahigh temperature ceramic (UHTC) foams with super low thermal conductivity using a scalable manufacturing process that produces near-net-shape, rigid/flexible insulation ...

Artificial intelligence-assisted detection and imaging technology can gather data on underwater, surface, and aerial threats to gain situational awareness over opposing forces, and aids in navigating dangerous marine and terrestrial environments. Successful and efficient use of intel is crucial for strategic information warfare, but many current technologies require active monitoring to identify t ...

As a response to the Navy SBIR Topic N212-126, GHz Optical Underwater Detection Receiver, Alphacore will develop a wide bandwidth, multi-element optical receiver to enable the extraction of both reflectivity and range features of objects in water. This proposed work will integrate advanced compact photo detectors with Alphacore’s innovative high-speed readout technology. The proposed system will ...
