Baker Engineering LLC. (BE) has been developing small lightweight turbochargers to help address the fact that small UAS engines currently suffer from low durability, poor efficiency, and non-heavy fuel operations. Specifically, BE’s efforts focus on turbochargers for the class 2 and 3 UAS engines. The advanced turbochargers enhance the durability, efficiency, and overall operations of small ...

vST makes an interactive virtual space of the physical world useful; with accurate and properly geolocated terrain and structure visualizations. It allows the navigation through a prospective area of operations prior to engagement. This allows decision makers the opportunity to identify obstacles and exploitable characteristics during the early stages of the decision-making process. vST provides T ...

The Phase II effort will be to clearly demonstrate the feasibility and build a prototype of a noncontact, high-quality holographic polarimetry system with pixel level depth and Mueller matrix information with a user-friendly interface to image and display this data. The measurements of each data product will be validated with trusted truth samples. The system will be reproducible and will have a d ...

Avilution’s eXtensible Flight System (XFS) is a suite of hardware and software modules that seamlessly integrate avionics components from multiple vendors into a highly agile, cohesive, and resilient unit for use on aerospace vehicles including manned and unmanned aircraft, autonomous Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), innovative commercial air-taxi concepts, and training/mission simulators. Av ...

Enduvo is a software application that allows practically anyone to create virtual reality (VR) experiences (think 3D videos and interactive games), and then use these experiences for training and collaboration. The software is designed to be used by everyday people like teachers and trainers and is similar to other content creation tools like Microsoft PowerPoint. Our existing customers, projected ...

TeraMetrix proposes a SBIR STTP CRP project to perform all of the development, on-aircraft validation and transition planning tasks to implement an automated robotic non-contact time-domain terahertz (THz) specialty coating thickness inspection for the F-22 inlet ducts. The proposed THz measurement system will utilize existing spray robots to automatically position the THz sensor, replacing a slow ...

The Phase II proposal provides for a very discreet, convenient, and robust way for (1) personnel in the field or on base to alert operations leadership if a situation arises requiring a response and to then provide locational tracking of that situation in real-time world-wide, (2) operations leadership to have locational awareness of large or small teams of personnel in the field and apply context ...

The USAF needs to develop a lethal and ready force full of innovation-minded Airmen. It needs to create its innovation culture, develop its innovation competency, and cultivate innovation communities that sustain and perpetuate the innovation practices into the future. Based on more than 25 years of research and practice, the Competing Values® LLC/ Innovatrium® LLC (“InnovatriumÃ¢â‚¬ï¿ ...

Using a cryogenic treatment process to improve heat transmissivity and reduce corrosion on at-risk military metals, while also increasing firearms accuracy by 50%, or extending the life of ground vehicle and fixed-wing aviation asset brake rotors by 300%, in order to increase uptime, reliability, and availability of units in a combat environment. Expanding on the previously issued AFWERX Phase II ...

In Phase I, CFDRC has successfully accomplished the development of a DoD open-source geometry kernel based on an advanced NURBS fitting procedure, a Bézier curve method, and a subdivision surface procedure to recover and to retain the boundary geometry. We have also developed and demonstrated APIs to allow the geometry kernel to interoperate with other simulation frameworks to enable accurate p ...
