In this project, Akita will develop methods and materials to increase the size of dye-containing optical elements, specifically sol-gel glasses, to diameters of at least 3” and thicknesses of at least 1 cm.  This will involve modifications to both the mat

Metasurfaces have advanced the field of optics and ushered novel "flat optics” technologies. Making metasurfaces reconfigurable add versatility and tunability to optical technology, enabling programmable photonic integrated circuits (PICs)- the cornerston

There is accumulating evidence that excessive noise and vibration from aircraft and/or weapon systems have serious performance and health impacts on Air Force Airmen and other DOD warfighters (pain, hearing loss, fatigue, cognitive and behavioral changes)

Founded in 2020, Boston Geospatial (BG) brings near real-time natural threat intelligence to operators and decision makers using its sensor agnostic radar processing platform. The Air Force Civil Engineering Center (AFCEC) and civil engineering squadrons

CAMX Power proposes a Sequential Phase II program to follow on the Phase II DLA SBIR program “Logistically Robust, Long Life, High Power Rechargeable Battery”.  In the initial Phase II program, we designed, built, and tested a 6T Li-ion battery prototype based on CAMX Power’s proprietary cathode and zero-volt (0V)-capable high power cell technology.  The prototype and test modules were dem ...

The Small Business Innovation Research Phase II project will develop and demonstrate a Battery Management System (BMS) Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing platform for the 6T Li-ion battery program. The BMS HIL platform will be designed to test BMS units in a laboratory and manufacturing environment to ensure they meet current and future requirements. The project also includes the development of a ...

Recent and planned efforts to integrate edge and cloud computing architectures are expected to extend Low Earth Orbit (LEO) capabilities well beyond the familiar archetype of downlinking remote sensing data via bandwidth-limited RF communication links. The ongoing development of large-scale optical intersatellite backbone networks by the DoD (such as the Space Defense Agency’s Transport Layer) a ...

The US Marine Corps needs a portable, hydroelectric generator to provide electrical energy to recharge batteries and power equipment. Electrical energy used in the field today is primarily generated using diesel generators. Having the option to use an energy source present in the environment, such as a river or stream, reduces the need to transport and store fuel. In order to meet the Marine Corps ...

The Outerlink IRIS system is a commercially successful, real-time flight data processing system that includes a satellite-based data link. The system records voice, video, and aircraft flight data while at the same time Interrogating the data for informat

The West Virginia University (WVU) Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources has created innovative Position/Navigation (PN) software for unmanned aerial and ground systems when operating in challenged environments, such as degraded or denied GPS. This distributed system with agents onboard and on the ground uses an Air Vehicle Data Network (AVDN) that requires Resilient Data Management ...
