The STRATFI Earth 616 project will create a proof of concept secure Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) based environment to provide near real-time visibility and traceability, along with associated securing of digital assets, for parts and data from an i

The objective of this effort is to demonstrate a 600 Vdc to 28 Vdc, isolated bi-directional power converter that utilizes wide bandgap semiconductors and can operate across a range of military ground vehicles.  The proposed converter is based on a modular topology that contains a combination of GaN and SiC devices, provides at least 15 kW bi-directional power flow continuously, and satisfies the ...

The primary objective of this effort will be the development, demonstration, and validation of a new suite of modeling and simulation capability for Navy analysis needs. The tool suite will utilize a new framework for implementing components models that will allow users to more easily access multiple analytical domains, including steady-state on-design and dynamic off-design. A new suite of tools ...

The United States Air Force (USAF) aims to enhance the energy efficiency and readiness of the C-17 Globemaster III through the application of AeroCore's advanced technologies. These technologies, including Nucleated Foam Technology and On-Wing Restoration

Tessellated Inc and the University of Notre Dame have produced composite thin films with the highest reported tensile strengths. These films have been produced using roll-to-roll manufacturing techniques that can be adapted to current manufacturing lines. Small amounts of fillers can be added to an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene matrix to produce thin films with high tensile strength. Th ...

This direct to Phase II program is needed to take the commercial Migrating Combustion Chamber (MCC) FE-120 baseline engine and complete the development, design improvements and testing that is required for integration into a Group 1 SUAS, like the RQ-20 P

Satellite platforms play a critical role in the modern defense and intelligence infrastructure, providing timely, detailed, and readily available imagery to support U.S. national security. An ever present and fundamental requirement for this type of data is automated target detection and recognition, helping to quickly locate and correctly identify targets from vast quantities of image data. Despi ...

CBC’s HIPS solution is a low-profile, omni-directional wind turbine that can be rapidly deployed and safely emplaced anywhere on an Agile Combat Employment (ACE) airfield without risking aircraft collisions, disrupting radar, nor requiring re-deployment t

Scene simulation is an integral component of weapon system research & development, allowing researchers to evaluate new sensor concepts entirely in the digital space as well as drive scene projection during hardware-in-the-loop testing. Unfortunately, research scientists are limited to a small set of available background environments that cover only a few geographic locations.  VSI proposes GEOSI ...
