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 Air Force (AF) is facing the challenge of costly and environmentally unsafe Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) disposal methods on its AF bases. Particularly, forward operating bases (FOBs) resort to burning waste in open pits with economic, environmental and potential health impact. Emerging solutions such as Plasma Arc Gasification are expensive, require large scale plants while Pyrolysis technolog ...

Direct Energy weapons in the form of High Energy Lasers (HEL) and High-Power Microwaves (HPM) for use in air and space-based platforms, continue to be technologically challenged, mostly due to equipment size, which translates into a need for higher energy and power density components.  High voltage pulse capacitors are a key and often a critical component of different pulse power systems.  The P ...

There is a need for a lightweight, high-performance, insulation to protect the internal systems in hypersonic vehicles. A passive thermal protection system (TPS) design would be simple and reliable. As designs evolve, there is a need for TPS insulation materials that can be additively manufactured. Our Phase I approach will additively manufacture pre-ceramic scaffolds that are used to create low d ...

Additive Manufacturing (AM) has enabled the fabrication of complex part geometries and provided design freedom. However, part quality has been an inhibitor to widespread industry adoption. For Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) process, a focused laser energy

Dragoon Technology proposes to develop a power-dense hybrid powerplant meeting the requirements of small deployable Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), providing greater endurance and range than that provided by battery power. Dragoon’s existing hybrid powertrain meets the needs of small, long endurance UAS, and will be adapted to the higher power and more compact form factor requirements of deployed ...
