The goal of the Agile Adaptable Interfaces for Modeling & Simulation (AAIMS) is to rapidly generate an integrated system-of-systems (SoS) model from disparate sensor models, simulations, and simulation environments with minimal rework to the original models and simulations. AAIMS will provide better understanding of complex sensor systems, improve communications among key players in the research a ...

Over the past decade, GTL has developed a suite of transformational technologies that provide superior performance for reduced cost.Each of these technologies have been matured to TRL 6 and establish the technical foundation for the Advanced Cryogenic Expendable (ACE) Multi-Role Vehicle (ACE-MRV). The ACE-MRV is a high-performance expendable rocket stage that can either be launched (from the groun ...

Real-time occupancy sensing is one of the constant goals for energy managers across all facilities, buildings, and plants.The ability to know who or what is in a building and its characteristics for heating and cooling can give insight into improving building cost/energy efficiency and automatically respond to changes in environment, use, occupancy, and related parameters. There are a plethora of ...

Americas potential adversaries and non-state actors have increasing access to sophisticated weapons. Our warfighters need counters to these threats that turn the cost ratio in our favor.Affordable guided projectiles launched at high velocities from conventional powder guns can accomplish the direct fire missions that were previously reserved for expensive missile systems.However, several design ch ...

A craft capable of transporting an ACV from a well deck ship to shore at speeds in excess of 25 knots is being proposed. This craft, referred to as a Sled, is based on the use of inflatable drop stitch panels coupled to a simple aluminum frame. This approach offers the means to collapse the sled in constituent parts that can be stored in a small volume. The propulsion system is also modularized fo ...

A craft capable of transporting an ACV from a well deck ship to shore at speeds in excess of 30 knots is being proposed. This craft, referred to as a “Sled,” is based on the use of inflatable drop-stitch panels coupled to a simple aluminum frame. This approach offers the means to collapse the sled in constituent parts that can be stored in a small volume. The propulsion system is also modulari ...

Military sensor models comprise software codes that represent specific sensor technologies, such as infrared, radar, and LiDAR, so that sensor systems can be designed and integrated into Air Force platforms.Operating these codes requires system designers to expend considerable effort in translating the inputs and outputs of the various codes so that they interface properly. Integrating multiple se ...

The Laser Power Beaming Enhancement (LPBE) will develop a new system for providing stand-off, wireless power transmission to remote UAV's and other moving platforms. A power generation facility directs a beam from a coherently combined fiber-laser array ...

The selective laser melting (SLM) of Scalmalloy is proposed for the manufacture of lightweight components on futures interceptor and kill vehicle architectures. Scalmalloy powder has been developed specifically for additive manufacturing (AM) by Airbus APWorks, and has properties that are comparable to 7075-T6 aluminum. Phase I efforts will include a trade study demonstrate that an AM Scalmalloy s ...

ASRC Federal Astronautics is pleased to present this proposal to demonstrate feasibility of a proportional thruster that is additively manufactured from a high temperature alloy and well-suited for use in a future Trident II D5 post boost control system upgrade. Our proportional valve design is based upon highly successful architectures originally developed by our Orbital ATK commercialization par ...
