The 371st Special Operations Combat Training Squadron (371 SOCTS), Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC), and the United States Air Force (USAF) lack the required tools to enable commanders’ rapid, reliable, and precise information sharing to enabl

Every soldier, Marine, airman, and sailor will be exposed to hazardous noise at some point in his or her career. One major consequence of noise exposure is tinnitus. Tinnitus can impede communication, reduce environmental and social awareness, and degrade combat performance and mission effectiveness. Tinnitus can also harm a service member’s quality of life and future employability with severe f ...

Trusted Science and Technology, Inc. (Trusted ST) forms a strong team with academic partner and proposes to develop the solution called Enhance Security and Improve Resilience in Embedded Systems for Space Force Satellites (ESPRESSO). The project aims to provide a flexible, tailorable embedded system solution with enhanced security and resilience for reliable space mission support via cyber-harden ...

US military personnel are subject to injuries caused by traumatic insults, such as explosions, gunshot wounds, and vehicle accidents. These types of injuries increase the chances of developing infections while waiting for transfer and after admission to medical care facilities. Treating infections due to combat-related wounds requires a high level of medical resources and is less successful compar ...

The goal of the U.S. Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines, commercial aviation and industrial power plants to develop gas turbines capable of reliable operation at turbine inlet temperatures up to 3100oF. Consequently, there is a driving need to extend the capability of SiC CMCs and/or related Ceramic CMCs and associated thermal—environmental barrier coatings (T-EBCs) to resist degradation in harsh mo ...

The promise of personalized medicine can be realized in part via point-of-care 3D drug printing, but only if there are reliable quality measures available. Children and seniors may need custom or easy-to-swallow doses, a need now addressed only in a limited way by ad-hoc in-pharmacy compounding. Compliance-targeted enhancements such as flavor and shape choices are particularly important for childr ...

Optical detection of objects hidden behind opaque layers is a challenging problem. As such, Person-Borne Improvised Explosive Devices (PB-IEDs) underneath clothing continue to be a persistent threat to the military and law enforcement communities. Safe stand-off detection in crowds is needed for the confirmation, identification, and neutralization of PB-IEDs. Technologies previously investigated i ...

Current efforts to provide advanced maintenance capabilities can be burdened by legacy documentation and a lack of visibility into the fine-grained status of jobs in progress on the flight line. The Cognitive Observant Assistant for Coaching and Helping (COACH) addresses both of these problems concurrently with an intelligent virtual assistant that goes significantly beyond the state of the art by ...

The aerospace industry has been transitioning to the use of pi joints as an assembly technique for primary structure to reduce both the weight and costs of these assemblies by eliminating the cost and weight of using fasteners.  The pi-joint is a woven preform co-bonded between a skin and a stringer. While these joints are inherently weight-effective for highly loaded structural applications, the ...
