There is a widespread need for beam steering all throughout the DoD. Both the Space Force and Air Force require advanced pointing for imaging and targeting, laser communications, directed energy, and energy transmission systems. Existing pointing systems often account for a significant allocation of Size, Weight, Power, and Cost (SWaP-C). Positional systems are one of the most resource intensive f ...

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

The United States Space Force (USSF) seeks versatile spacecraft that can perform an array of different types of defense-related missions, such as spacecraft imaging and inspection, rendezvous proximity and docking operations (RPO/RPOD), collision avoidanc

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. ...

The United States Space Force (USSF) needs innovation in 3D scanning of Resident Space Objects (RSO) to effectively perform active management of orbital debris as well as On Orbit Servicing, Assembly, and Manufacturing (OSAM) and defense-related missions. OSAM missions will require that a “service satellite” operate near a “target satellite” or RSO. Novel sensor fusion modalities coupled ...

With the Phase II STTR award, Rogue intends to develop a functional multi-purpose CubeSat dispenser system prototype that has been fully vetted and tested in relevant rideshare launch and space environments.   Rogue’s technology development roadmap is dri

HyperBlox is a platform for secure, reliable, and private Cellular (LTE/5G) networking that integrates seamlessly with Enterprise IT infrastructure to greatly simplify and accelerate the adoption of business-critical IoT applications. The HyperBlox platform is significantly more flexible than the legacy systems, enabling a significant reduction to both operational and infrastructure costs. The sco ...

Skypad Tech (Skypad) is proposing to take our Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS) Mobile Optical System (M.O.S.) and modify it to enhance the US Air Force’s need for distributed operations. We have developed M.O.S. to take Heads Up Displays (HUDs) and the Augmented Reality (AR) associated with them to the next level. The increasing complexity and speed of operations required of our Airmen and Guar ...
