Mezzo and its partners will design, manufacture, and test a supercritical CO2 recuperator designed for high pressure of 275 bar and high temperature of 800 0C. The recuperator will incorporate a new manufacturing approach (laser welded micro tubes) that offers potential to reduce cost. It is well known that recuperator costs are currently very high for applications that involve high temperature an ...

In this Small Business Innovation Research Phase I program, Modeling Tools for the Drilling of Polymer Matrix Composites (PMCs), Third Wave Systems (TWS) will develop and demonstrate innovative multi-scale modeling tools for the drilling of polymer matrix composites (PMCs), which is enabled by integration of advanced material constitutive models, detailed-level finite element analysis (FEA), and N ...

Data analysis & optimization of the USAF innovation ecosystem (people, products & ideas) that interact with, submit products and the hundreds of thousands of people not tapped into for support the future success of the USAF

This research will enhance Rozin Security’s successful commercial product, the Threat Information Protection System (“TIPS�) with Easy Aerial’s advanced autonomous drone and it's Smart Aerial Monitoring System (“SAMS�). TIPS conducts real-time trend analysis and generates an immediate alert on possible connections between current and previously reported susp ...

Under this Phase I, Barrier1 will work with Air Force end users and customers to determine if Barrier1 can be used to simplify and streamline the Functional Mission Analysis process for communications squadron networks.

Block chain technology or a distributed ledger system (DLS) has many applications that revolve around banking and cryptocurrency transactions. Our goal is to turn that virtual wallet which is capable of securely carrying user account and transaction information into a virtual backpack, fully capable of storing whatever media or information the user needs to store securely. Utilizing SHA2 methodolo ...

Design Analysis for Rapid, Effective Integration and Test (DAREIT) will support rapid deployment of CubeSats by adapting the model-based Architecture Centric Virtual Integration Process (ACVIP) pioneered by the Army. ACVIP employs model-based system engineering to perform virtual integration and testing to identify issues in system designs early when it is orders of magnitude more efficient than f ...

Cyber resilient communications, networks, and data links are more important now than ever. Cybersecurity threats are polymorphic and rapidly changing which make it hard to keep up with ever mutating threat. Additionally, most Air Force security systems are passive, meaning once an attack has been identified, the Air Force then tries to repair the damage that has been done and update their system t ...

Large, complex organizations such as the United States Air Force (USAF) must use, manage, and administer software systems which are massive in size, international in scope and complex in operation. These USAF systems have evolved over a period of time, were written in different languages, have obscure relationships, and serve purposes that may be hard to visualize. This leads to a lack of understa ...
