Increased competition and improved lead times are desired by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) to facilitate NESO in supporting the needs of the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy nuclear communities. Mainstream Engineering has carefully reviewed the technical data package for NSN 4810-01-269-4808 provided in the solicitation and is confident that we possess the manufacturing capability, quality manage ...

The Defense Logistics Agency aims to improve product availability and increase competition on a multitude of NSN items for the Nuclear Enterprise Support Office by introducing capable, small business suppliers through the Source Approval Request (SAR) process. Addition of approved sources for these critical/weapon system items can lead to reduced cost and decreased lead times. Expediting the procu ...

High-purity germanium (Ge) is manufactured into infrared (IR) lenses for most DoD night sight IR optics, thermal imaging systems, and IR tracking systems in combat vehicles. A recent report by Umicore (ADA’s partner for this proposed project) identifies several current and future needs for Ge, showing growing needs in the middle of severe shortfall. These applications are essential for tracking ...

General Aviation (GA) accounts for ninety four percent of all aviation accidents with weather being the most lethal factor. Studies have shown these accidents arise because pilots have difficulty screening out non-essential data, focusing on key facts, and correctly evaluating weather related risks. Adaptive Systems LLC has developed a novel framework called WISE: the Weather Intelligence Support ...

Advanced Radar Company (ARC) proposes a feasibility study of Aregn, our commercial open source software product for real-time multi-sensor terrestrial weather data processing. Aregn is currently in operations for customers around the world primarily servicing meteorology agencies and airports. Aregn directly addresses the USAF need for better real-time data integration from multiple sensor platfor ...

Orbital Micro Systems proposes a study on the use of its WeatherLock technology for advanced weather forecasting capabilities for the warfighter. WeatherLock is a novel weather forecasting technology that enables forecasting models to be continuously updated by satellites in near real time. This allows for forecasting errors to be corrected for as the model is running, leading to more accurate for ...

Guidestar Optical Systems develops optical turbulence forecasting, measuring, and compensation technologies to support commercial laser communications systems. Numerous Air Force applications, including directed energy laser weapons, free space optical communication systems, and advanced encryption and data security, to name a few, are impacted by optical turbulence. In this program, Guidestar wil ...

This proposal describes a very short-range jamming module that attaches to AF Security Forces Remington 870 model shotguns to augment their performance with the ALS skynet round. The module makes the threat drone 'freeze' long enough for effective deployment of the net round. This module can be used with any C-sUAS weapon or platform deploying ALS net rounds. It can also be mounted onto a pistol g ...

Both commercial and military laser systems can be effective but have limited applicability for counter unmanned aircraft systems (C-UAS). Commercial lasers are underpowered and unsuitable for military environments, while military lasers are too large, heavy, and expensive for tactical applications. In Phase I, we will assess the feasibility of modifying commercial lasers for C-UAS applications. Th ...
