The specific need for the technology, what the technology would do to meet that need, technical feasibility, application(s), end users, size of the potential market, performance compared to current technologies and potential for environmental benefits. Poly- and per- fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a broad category of highly conjugated synthetic organofluorine compounds that have been shown to ...

Remooble proposes a new class of safe, bio-derived, and bio-degradable paint removers that can strip multiple layers of coating in a single application to be developed to replace hazardous use of methylene chloride and NMP-based paint strippers: For a pant removers to be of added value to a customer it must meet the following requirements: 1. Fast acting 2. Effective over a wide variety of coating ...

Increases in space traffic have caused an ever-growing need to recognize, track, and determine the operational state of both known and unknown satellites in-situ. Imagery from ground and/or space-based observation platforms provide a convenient and versatile data source for such characterization but is often limited in both quantity and quality. Rapid and automated 3D reconstruction of satellite m ...

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.

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 ...

Security certification of software for life- and mission-critical systems impacts both cost and schedule. While some microkernels offer significant safety and security advantages over classic operating system and real-time operating system approaches, it remains difficult to certify the resulting systems. It is also easy to construct unsafe and insecure systems based on microkernels. The proposed ...
