The seeds of failures of Defense projects can often be traced back to poor quality requirements and a lack of portfolio level coherence between associated projects. Because projects have become so complex, 100% paper-based methods are no longer suitable for requirements management. In June 2018, the DoD released its Digital Engineering Strategy which calls on the services to “move the primar ...

Our innovative 3D Motion Analysis technology allows for fast and efficient screening of running technique in military personnel that has previously not been available to this scale. We propose providing education and training on our portable 3D Motion Analysis technology to military personnel to explore new ways to utilize this technology. The education and training will focus on ways to identify ...

The B-52 bomber legacy simulator, the Weapons Systems Trainer, lacks ability to represent a critical capability found in the aircraft, the Litening Advanced Targeting Pod developed by Northrop Grumman. The 307th Bomb Wing, responsible for formal aircrew training to include Initial Qualification, requires a low-cost, Virtual Reality or Gaming solution to fill this critical gap - the legacy simulato ...

Cold weather exposure causes unique problems, including the loss of hand function and dexterity. Perhaps this is no more true than with rotary wing airborne operations where aircrews are constantly exposed to extreme cold temperatures. There are no "safe to fly" products that provide enough warmth and meet SWaP-C goals. The objective of this effort is to develop a lightweight, low profile, low ene ...

Current network monitoring systems and auditing methods are limited in their ability to present enough information simultaneously necessary for human analysts to gain network situational awareness. Some known limiting factors: • Existing two-dimensional, spreadsheet format, user Interfaces with scroll bars severely limit the amount of information that can be displayed. • Analysts must ...

Augmented Reality is being used in a myriad of applications across a wide breadth of industries. Air Force application ranges from digital remote assistance for flight line mechanics, pilots, and technicians to emergency response and the like. This allows the airmen to access critical data, share what the see, and communicate effectively. Using intuitive hands free hardware and software, our appli ...

We’ll define the best Virtual Reality (VR) training solutions that match the immediate and/or critical needs of Barksdale Air Force Base (BAFB). Modern recruits and technological advances require modern training and adaptation of these advances. VR offers endless options when it comes to training and testing military personnel. The gamification of military training operations has existed si ...

BetaFlix, Inc has established and tested an Integrated Training Management (ITM) platform for welding instruction within public community college systems. With feedback from US Air Force stakeholders, this ITM can be readily adapted and expanded to address military aircraft welder training needs. BetaFlix ITM combines secure storage, adaptive instruction and real time visualization of user perform ...

Agile-PRP is a product derived from a simple patent-protected process that can be implemented into current procedures where plasma, an important blood product used in trauma care, would generally be frozen. The beauty of Agile-PRP is that you can reconstitute it in under two minutes. Fresh, frozen plasma takes about 30 to 40 minutes to thaw out if a warming device is available. Importantly, Agile- ...

Durable and robust large-area ultrathin CNT sheets can be produced from pristine CNT sheets following proprietary CNT purification and densification processes. The resulting CNT sheets are free-standing, flexible, durable, robust, ultrathin (< 5 µm) and lightweight (~6 g per m2). They withstand corrosion and heat and are superior at shielding EMI (effectiveness >= 55 dB in the X band).
