Countering Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-UAS) is an ever-increasing challenge due to the variety of threat UAS airframes, materials, propulsion types, and control systems. Further, the control systems in particular are continually evolving which complicates detection, identification, and tracking. A robust and reliable means of completing these steps in the kill chain is required. Even significant te ...

In this SBIR, we will leverage our long experience in ARAIM and in spoofing detection techniques to develop ARAIM+: an improved ARAIM system that also detects GNSS-wide intentional simultaneous faults and spoofing attacks. The main objective of the proposed Phase-I effort is to design, simulate, and prototype ARAIM+ to meet stringent performance requirements with limited computer resources. ARAIM+ ...

Polaris Sensor Technologies, Inc., presents a program plan (focused on the Phase 1 effort) to address the penultimate goal of “coloring the good guys blue and the bad guys red� using multi-mode aerial imagery of ground targets in the visible and thermal IR coupled with the most advanced Continuous Machine Learning (CML) approaches, techniques, and architectures. CML has many computati ...

NoMo Diagnostics is developing the first embedded brainwave sensor system for real-time concussion detection addressing a significant unmet medical need for contact sport athletes and military personnel. Sport-related concussion is a common mild traumatic brain injury affecting roughly 1,200,000 Americans annually yet only 300,000 are diagnosed. Depending on the sport, it is estimated for every 1 ...

The project objective is to develop a software framework for (remote) medical monitoring, diagnostics, and combat casualty care. The proposed framework supports medical wearable Bluetooth sensors, mobile apps, and a centralized medical health server that runs on the (military) cloud. The health server is updated in real time and each wounded warfighter can be monitored from treatment facilities an ...

Identify technical feasibility, financial sustainability and defense need for applying 300 Below's commercialized cryogenic treatment process to Air Force weapons platforms, including aircraft and ground vehicles, to increase accuracy of firearms 50%, double the life of gun barrels, help sustain high cyclic rates on weapons, and ensure easier cleaning and maintenance of firearms while reducing cor ...

Improved cockpit illumination has been identified as an area of interest during discussions with key personnel across United States Air Force and Navy Aviation communities. Current cockpit lighting systems are expensive and require the use of a lip-actuator to illuminate an NVIS-compatible light emitting diode (LED) located on a microphone boom or on the oxygen mask, which is attached to the fligh ...

Virtual reality (VR) technology can revolutionize military aircrew and pilot training by accurately simulating task performance in a high-fidelity and multisensory virtual environment at significantly lower cost than traditional simulators. User interaction must be intuitive and natural, however, so aviators can “train as they fight,� while avoiding frustration. Groups within the Air ...

This proposal seeks to demonstrate the feasibility of a virtual reality authoring platform that can deliver training modules for learners across the continuum of USAF skills. Content authoring in this tool does not require any programming expertise, and subject matter experts can create learning experiences by importing most digital files (2D and 3D). The learner then experiences a one-on-one expe ...
