The Digital Greenhouse concept is to work with users from operational organizations in off-site commercial locations, positioned near Air Force logistics centers, to quickly develop “user storiesâ€Â for use in rapid development of working prototypes. These prototypes will be tested and validated by these users for use in application modernization projects capable of providing advanced ...

The high rate of non-medical Soldiers (Combat Lifesavers and self-aid/buddy-aid) performing field care necessitates additional medical training for those Warfighters. Unfortunately, most non-medical personnel are not provided with opportunities to practic

In this effort GTL proposes to develop a high performance, lightweight, low cost composite cryogenic propellant tank that meets or exceeds MDA missile system requirements. In the Phase I effort, GTL will verify critical capabilities to ensure the feasibility of the technology. This effort leverages previous cryotank composite cylindrical and spherical tank work performed by GTL. In the follow-on P ...

In the Phase I effort, GTL showed that future missile interceptor performance can be substantially increased by the combination of an innovative configuration and a breakthrough composite tank technology. The Phase II effort will include material characterization testing and the fabrication and testing of multiple small-scale tanks. Based on those results, GTL will design, analyze, fabricate and t ...

Sterilization requirements in far-forward Roles 1 & 2 are challenging and not easily satisfied with currently available commercial devices. Steam-sterilant systems are hindered by excessive cube/weight, large power requirements, high water consumption and fragile unreliable designs. Non-steam options such as ozone and ethylene oxide have harmful residues, undesirable off-gassing, long cycle times, ...

Traditional manufacturing methods for producing warheads, propellants, and pyrotechnic systems are timely and costly. Additive manufacturing (AM) approaches offer one path of alternative manufacturing technologies. Among various technologies, powder bed fusion (PBF) is one promising approach. Hewlett Packard’s Multi-Jet Fusion printers utilize a unique PBF process that presents a desirable solut ...

Exploitation of weather and climatological information has historically provided significant (and at times decisive) advantages for Air Force and Department of Defense missions (e.g., WWII, 2003 Iraq, etc.) Current and short-term (0-7 day) and climatological (long-term average) weather information near the geographic locations of missions have often been the basis for these operations. However, a ...

Third Dimension Technologies will perform design of a 45-deg x 45-deg full parallax Field of Light Display (FoLD) system in Phase I, and will also during Phase I build a simple 3 x 3 array proof of concept FoLD system. A FoLD display provides full parallax 3D viewing without glasses or headgear, just as if the viewer was looking through a window. The Phase I design will include an assessment of sp ...

Differentiating from conventional cybersecurity approaches, the Physical-Cyber System penetration test, PCS-PenTest, evaluates physical side-channel attacks where RF energy is injected into the system and received on unintended antennas, transduced by accidental RF receivers, and causes abnormal system operation and/or state changes. Finding these vulnerabilities is challenging. Given that the pot ...

The current AdHoc emergency notification system for the United States Air Force is a broken and antiquated process that does not fit the needs of today’s modern war fighter. At a majority of Air Force Bases the squadron members still hand carry a piece of paper on them at all times called a recall roster, which includes all of the names and information of each squadron member, in order to s ...
