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

Classifying and marking documents in the Department of Defense is largely a manual process. Manual classification is challenging, time-consuming, resource-intensive, and sometimes inconsistent. Recent advancements in AI and large language models (LLMs) ar

The Technical Problem: The Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center (AFNWC) and the broader Department of Defense (DOD) require operational agility that can only be achieved through the implementation of Software Defined Weapon Systems. In today's modern systems,

The Legionarius smart combat shirts are capable of detecting vital signs and penetrating wounds to the warfighter (shot, shrapnel, cut, burn), autonomously sending out an alert via Android Tactical Assault Kit (ATAK) and the Air Force Battlefield Assisted

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 ...

Water resiliency is a Department of the Air Force (DAF)-wide strategy priority. Bases have Water Dashboards to track water vulnerabilities. The 2021 DAF Energy Resiliency specifically focuses on water resiliency. Though the DAF has historically focused on electrical energy assurance, it is increasingly recognizing the need to consider how water provides critical mission support. This new focus has ...

Within three months, SHE BASH will conduct the research necessary to confirm the applicability of their Department of the Air Force Enterprise Public Key Infrastructure (DAF ePKI) solution to determine how the capabilities of the technology can address well-defined defense needs and conduct outreach with empowered and committed USAF Customers and End-Users to plan a SBIR Phase II prototype effort. ...

DoD’s 2018 Artificial Intelligence (AI) Strategy [1] noted that adversaries and strategic competitors such as China and Russia are making significant investments in AI technologies for national security purposes. Since 2018, DoD has made organizational changes and is investing billions of dollars to incorporate AI technology into its operations. However, there exists a potential for unintended c ...

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 to face the wind. The HIPS makes wind safe, practical, and scalable in ways that traditional wind energy is not.  CBC will conduct an R/R&D fea ...

Stuxnet malware destroyed Iran’s nuclear centrifuges by altering the rotational speed by increments undetectable to humans. Cyber attacks with nation-state backing have produced this and other examples of adversarial danger.  It is very possible for an adversary to carry out the destruction, detonation, or launch of our ICBMs. In order to understand where software comes from, validate its pedig ...
