The ability for the Department of Defense to keep pace with rapidly-expanding content, both internal and external, requires human - machine teaming, utilizing AI-based tools for information aggregation, organization and summarization, so that humans can focus on analysis and decision making.

Critical need for a non-toxic, regenerative carbon dioxide (CO2) scrubber material with enhanced scrubbing capacities and safety for rebreather applications. The current state-of-the-art (SOA) scrubber material for rebreather is soda lime. Soda lime is highly toxic, has low CO2 capacity, and is non-regenerative requiring an entire logistics chain. Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) is developing a novel ...

Hands/Off Tactical Mobile Intelligent Communications (HOT MIC) is an edge/deployed AI solution for voice command and control (VC2) of sUAS and other potential unmanned systems. Today’s SOCOM operator needs to easily enlist new capabilities to the fight such as small Unmanned Air Systems (sUAS) while reducing task saturation and keeping focus down range. An intuitive, robust, hands/free voice use ...

SI2 Technologies, Inc. (SI2) proposes building and testing a software configurable, wideband, open standard architecture, antenna distribution system that will allow USSOCOM to connect a series of RF receiver/transmitters that can be electronically assigned to any antenna connected to the system. SI2’s design will allow an operator to reconfigure an RF device then remotely connect the device to ...

To engage a high value target in GPS/contested conditions over any significant distance, small Common Launch Tube (CLT) munitions must be able to navigate in the absence of GPS. This requires an alternate navigation solution that is able to constrain the drift of the micro/electro/mechanical system (MEMS) quality inertial measurement units (IMUs) in order to accurately navigate to the target area ...

Adversaries and competitors of the United States are increasingly leveraging the rapidly evolving Information Environment (IE) to advance their strategic interests against those of the US and allied nations. Maintaining an information advantage in the progressively fragmented online landscape is challenging, as the impact of activities in the IE are difficult to discern and “real-world” effect ...

Imperia Batteries, a division of Physical Sciences Inc., proposes to develop and prototype a modular, safe, high energy density Jetboot battery system by combining next generation electrode and separator technologies. The modular design will allow for a single or dual module battery pack providing a lightweight and high capacity battery solution, respectively. Imperia’s battery improves safety b ...

The modern information environment (IE) is growing more complex and dynamic. Information technology advances enable adversaries to access and influence audiences globally with increasingly sophisticated tools and at an unprecedented scale. To understand the threat landscape and to respond effectively, there is a need to automatically detect, track, and differentiate the evolution of information na ...

Octant’s social media network mapping and content modeling approaches will be leveraged to create high-resolution models of information environments spanning key neighboring countries, issues, and state media sources likely to be targeted by information and influence operations. These models will enable the ability to rapidly understand the narratives being spread through the network and how the ...

Enemies use radar system to identify and target Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). To prevent detection, the UAV should be able to reduce its RF signature by reducing its Radar Cross Section (RCS). Traditional Radar Absorbing Materials (RAM) are used to absorb radar's Electromagnetic energy to reduce an aircraft's RCS but this material can be thick, heavy, and have high material and maintenance cost ...
