The Digital Greenhouse concept is to work with users from operational organizations in off-site commercial locations, positioned near Air Force logistics centers, to quickly develop “user storiesâ€Â for use in rapid development of working prototypes. These prototypes will be tested and validated by these users for use in application modernization projects capable of providing advanced ...

In this STTP project, AVIRTEK will leverage the tools and algorithms developed in the AMAP Phase II SBIR to develop an AMAP-based Autonomic Security Operations Center (ASoC) system that continuously monitors the cyber resources and services 24 by 7, performs anomaly behavior analysis to detect malicious activities and proactively recommends actions to stop attacks and minimize their impacts. AMAP- ...

Exploitation of weather and climatological information has historically provided significant (and at times decisive) advantages for Air Force and Department of Defense missions (e.g., WWII, 2003 Iraq, etc.) Current and short-term (0-7 day) and climatological (long-term average) weather information near the geographic locations of missions have often been the basis for these operations. However, a ...

Today’s modern command and control centers are critical to the operation of the USAF and the successful implementation of US military doctrine. The control center is staffed by dedicated warfighters who are responsible for critical support operations including: mission planning, airspace management, combat assessment, integrated air and missile defense planning, and satellite orbit analysis ...

Alphacore, Inc. proposes to design, simulate, and verify a radiation-hard fully-integrated gallium nitride (GaN) based V-band power amplifier (PA). As detailed in Air Force’s Phase I solicitation subtopic AF182-111 the designed power amplifier will exhibit greater than 30 W of saturated output power (Psat) at power added efficiency (PAE) level of >30%. The amplifier will maintain this outpu ...

The Air Force is seeking the development of an Antenna Electronics (AE) for a Controlled Reception Pattern Antenna (CRPA) system that provides an anti-jam (AJ) capability covering four GNSS frequency bands. Existing AEs can provide simultaneous protection of L1 and L2 – but a navigation system utilizing L5 and E6 as well would improve satellite visibility, be more resistant to spoofing, and ...

Our ability to respond to new chemical and biological threats is limited by a lack of facilities, personnel, and equipment able to rapidly conduct precision molecular analysis. We can remove this bottleneck by deploying a protective network of new automated, high performance surveillance equipment around ordinary warfighters and civilians for the first time. Sensitive enough to detect all manner o ...

The current AdHoc emergency notification system for the United States Air Force is a broken and antiquated process that does not fit the needs of today’s modern war fighter. At a majority of Air Force Bases the squadron members still hand carry a piece of paper on them at all times called a recall roster, which includes all of the names and information of each squadron member, in order to s ...

This proposal is meant to assist the Air Force on the $70 million annual problem of bird strikes. The Bird Aircraft Strike Hazard (BASH) team is constantly trying to come up with new ways to harass birds so that they are not a hazard for operating aircraft. The BASH biologists are doing their best with the tools that they have, but there are still large expenses being expended by the USAF for bird ...

Problem: Smartphones and other mobile devices are becoming AF users’ primary digital tool, overtaking computers and desk phones as their go-to devices. However, these commercial devices are susceptible to being comprised, are carried with users everywhere, and are now restricted from secure spaces due to their ability to listen through microphones and watch through cameras. Blanket mobile d ...
