When the United States enters conflicts throughout the world, guided weapons that can eliminate threats while minimizing collateral damage are a necessity for all branches of the DoD. Each weapon is designed for a specific mission, though there is no guarantee that the design is either optimized for that mission or robust to mission changes. The scope of the design parameter space and the ever-evo ...

AVERT Physical Security is commercial modeling and simulation software used to quantitatively assess physical security effectiveness of critical infrastructure.Travis AFB has recognized the value of using AVERT to protect its crown jewel, the Industrial Maintenance Complex and Flight Line.AVERT provides USAF Security Forces the tools they need to address the questions such as the following:How sec ...

For more than a decade, the promise of augmented, virtual, and mixed reality technologies has been to provide the means to enhance training, while significantly reducing costs. While incremental improvements have been made, it is the recent advances in high capability hardware (stereo cameras, head-mounted displays, and motion tracking) that bridge the technology gap encountered in previous approa ...

AVERT Virtual TableTop and AVERT Virtual Reality Training are part of a suite of commercial software products that are focused on Physical Security Assessment, Training and Response challenges.Travis AFB is interested to evaluate the feasibility of using AVERT Virtual TableTop and AVERT Virtual Reality Training for Security Squadron training for the protection of the Travis AFB crown jewel, the In ...

Advances over the last decade in sensors, miniature and flexible electronics, wireless protocols, and related technologies now make it feasible to sensecontinuously and accurately - environmental and operational parameters over the entire surface of an aircraft using a wide network of sensors. A specific example, and the subject of this proposal, is the AFRL-developed Artificial Hair Sensors (AHS) ...

Attollo Engineering is proposing a compact dual-band SWIR/MWIR camera using an FPA with unique detector and ROIC capabilities. The camera will be HD (1280x1024) and have applications for targeting applications such as seekers and rifle scopes. The camera is capable of wide dynamic range to handle starlight flux up to high thermal flux. In Phase I, Attollo will perform trade studies and experimenta ...

In this Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) program, Nikira Labs Inc. proposes to develop an open-path, self-calibrating cavity ringdown system (CRDS) that can measure optical extinction at multiple visible and near-infrared wavelengths. The resulting instrument will supplant existing, scattering-based visibility sensors, and be used by the Navy for directed energy weapons (DEWs) and free-sp ...

Smartphone applications commonly have the need to request and receive multiple data streams and present them to the user in a sensible way. Meeting the most aggressive and stringent service levels requires efficient handling of large, disparate and complex data. Our solution improves the way iOS (and Android) applications request, process and display multiple disparate data sets by implementing hi ...

NextGen Aeronautics (NextGen) is proposing to advance state-of-the-art (SOTA) wireless instrumentation systems technologies for Air Force to pass data without line of sight within a metal aircraft. We are proposing a modular wireless data transfer system to be built on NextGen teams extensive knowledge and experience of building miniaturized modular sensory systems and a series of legacy programs ...

Chemical warfare agents such as the lethal nerve agent soman are a major source of risk to military personnel. Currently, pyridostigmine bromide (PB) is the only FDA-approved pretreatment to counteract the effects of soman. The rationale behind PB administration is that it acts as a “temporary” inhibitor of AChE. This precludes nerve agents from irreversible inactivation of AChE, thereby mitig ...
