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 ...

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 ...

As the number and capabilities of known and unknown space systems are expanding, the United States Space Force (USSF) needs to enhance and modernize space domain awareness (SDA). However, there are significant challenges to identify, track, and characteri

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

•The US Space Force requires advanced situational awareness in a variety of orbital domains. The solution proposed by Rogue Space Systems (Rogue) aims to close the gaps in implementation and robustness that exist in the state of local Space Domain Awarene

Bird and wildlife strikes endanger Airmen and aircraft safety. Current Department of the Air Force (DAF) Bird/wildlife Aircraft Strike Hazard (BASH) detection and mitigation measures are highly manual, cost-prohibitive, and limited in their detection capa

Underground water leaks from damaged or ruptured utilities pipes are a highly dangerous, labor-intensive, and operationally disruptive occurrence for Department of the Air Force (DAF) air bases and installations. Identifying these incidents is extremely d
