Puckboard  is a real-time collaborative flight scheduling platform available worldwide to service members using any device. Featuring an intuitive user interface that feels natural and familiar, Puckboard innovates squadron operations and enables service members to focus on the mission at hand. The platform is fully certified and authorized to operate on military or civilian networks and was the ...

Triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMSs) are three dimensional non-self-intersecting surfaces that can be precisely described by mathematical functions. The continuous, smooth surfaces suggest more uniform stress distribution and potentially enhanced load

Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) is actively involved in the safe transportation of energy and hazardous material that are vital to daily lives. This also includes underground natural gas storage (UNGS) maintenance and safe operation which are critical to nation's energy infrastructure. Enhancing leak detection and identifying smart ways to prevent potential well blow ...

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 ...

Fielded sensors on existing space platforms are large and expensive, limiting the number of sensors which can be deployed, leaving them vulnerable to attacks.  By deploying larger numbers of compact, low-cost sensors on a swarm of small satellites, this w

The proposal describes an under-the-human skin implantable sensor that can measure biological markers of interest continuously and provide a signal that can be interrogated either with an external device or internally, as part of the implantable device it

Estimating pose of missiles in flight from ground-based imagery presents a variety of challenges, such as low-resolution imagery, varying lighting conditions, cluttered background, and poor contrast between target and background. 3D models of the target object can simplify the problem by providing a strong constraint on the space of possible target poses. VSI proposes SkyLock, a robust and efficie ...

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. A fundamental requirement for this type of data is automated target detection and recognition, helping analysts to quickly locate and correctly identify targets of interest from vast quantities of image data.
