76 Propulsion Maintenance Group at Tinker AFB identified the need for better process controls and data for chemical solutions that remove metal coatings from aircraft parts during overhaul, primarily valuable engine components. Current controls cannot predict process outcomes and tell very little about the chemistry occurring during operation. Failure to identify issues can have serious effects on ...

Vigilant Cyber Systems, Inc. proposed to design and develop the Electromagnetic Battle Damage Assessment Tool (EMBDAT) to assess the effects of high-power electromagnetic (HPEM) attack using sensor data from the system under attack (target system) and other known quantities about the target and weapon. It is designed to integrate with a variety of sensors and provides an application programming in ...

A turbocharger is proposed that utilizes a self contained lubrication system. The bearing structure is well proven in both commercial and military applications. This turbocharger has been design to support engines in the sub 10 hp class. It utilizes shrouded impellers to maintain high aerodynamic efficiency.

The increasing efficiency and versatility of small Unmanned Air Vehicles (sUAVs) make them ideal choice for numerous missions in both military and civil theater. Advancements in manufacturing miniature components are enabling the development of ever smaller UAVs that are cheaper to operate and maintain thereby making them attractive to a larger market. With increasing operational awareness as the ...

The U.S. Air Force Battlefield Air Operations (BAO) is seeking portable environmental observation devices that replicate the automated gathering and reporting of the same measurements currently performed by the AN/TMQ-53 for Service Level D airfield support. To address this need, ISI proposes to enhance our existing Macro Weather Sensor (MaWS) system to meet and/or exceed current AN/TMQ-53 capabil ...

Integrating MSI’s radar probe and blade tip-timing technology will facilitate long-term health monitoring for AEDC’s Plant Exhauster compressors.  Through collaborative planning meetings, measurements/ tests will be scheduled and options investigated to define optimal sensor locations.  MSI and AEDC’s Test Operating Support contractor will interact closely during acquisition ...

DoD avionics and mission systems are expensive, vendor-locked, slow in development, and difficult to update to meet evolving requirements. Avilution’s eXtensible Flight System (XFS) software provides a modular, open-system architecture for addressing these issues. XFS rapidly integrates existing unmodified avionics products with dissimilar physical busses and different data protocols to cre ...

ReFirm Labs desires to provide the Air Force visibility into malicious backdoors and latent vulnerabilities in IoT and embedded firmware that pose a significant threat to national security and effectiveness of the warfighter. ReFirm Labs’ Centrifuge Platform is a proactive firmware security solution that finds vulnerabilities before attacks happen by identifying and reporting potential zero ...

Securisyn has invented a disruptive technology that we expect will change the paradigm of how life-sustaining chest tubes are secured. Rather than the historical approaches that attempt to grip a smooth, slippery plastic tube, our solution, SolidAIRity CT, is the first and only tube securement system that places an interface on the tube to actively participate in stabilization. The SolidAIRity sys ...

Thermal spray coating operating for engines in both OEM and maintenance/repair/overhaul (MRO) involves many sub-steps and sub-processes from preparatory to processing to qualifications. Typically, most coating operators (internal or external to the OEM/MRO) follow established procedural specifications to achieve the required outcome. However, many of these specifications were developed several dec ...
