Additive manufacturing has delivered enormous advantages in rapidly producing prototype designs for both the industrial and military sectors. However, the true promise of transitioning from prototype to production of essential 3D printed components using high-performance materials has remained untenable. The High Speed Extrusion (HSE) process developed by Essentium flips this longstanding paradigm ...

Unlike current inspection platforms that capture a handful of wide range color bands in the visible spectrum, Orbital Sidekick's high resolution hyperspectral platform captures hundreds of narrow contiguous color bands across the visible and infrared regions of the spectrum, uniquely generating a radiometric footprint of each pixel in every image set. OSK’s unparalleled spectral resolution ...

The ability to rapidly deploy shelter is critical to a lethal and resilient force. New and innovative technologies are needed to advance the capabilities of Air Force civil engineers and RED HORSE units. ICON is developing a technology that could offer a step advance in the ability of expeditionary teams to rapidly deploy shelter and base defenses using 3D printing of concrete structures. Potentia ...

Falkonry LRS is your “Data Scientist in a Box,â€ï¿½ pre-packaged operational machine learning (ML) empowers your teams with pattern discovery, predictive analytics and explanation to improve uptime, performance, quality and safety. Falkonry believes its AI-enabled LRS could add significant value to the processing of electronic intelligence (ELINT) data, at scale and for significantly l ...

Tectus is developing the underlying technology required to deliver an augmented reality platform that enables information to be instantaneous, unobtrusive, and available hands-free. Tectus envisions a future in which technology becomes so small and discreet that it is practically invisible, and where people can access information that is visible only to them and invisible to everyone else. The tec ...

EdgyBees’ Augmentation Engine allows for the addition of augmented reality features to be placed over a camera’s video feed in order to assist orientation and consolidate information for the operator by highlighting key objects and features. Augmentation can take place over live video (from the camera perspective), over virtual sandbox (from an arbitrary perspective) or over Satellit ...

The objective of this Air Force SBIR Phase II project is to meet the national defense-related mission needs of the Air Force in the area of Low Earth Orbit communications and command & control. More specifically, there is a clear Air Force need for SATCOM redundancy and resiliency (Need #6266), that Swarm is uniquely equipped to develop and provide through modification of commercial satellite hard ...

The objective of the proposed study is to develop a subcutaneous implant of risperidone that provides consistent therapeutic blood levels of the drug for 6 months after a single administration. The device is implanted during a simple, 10-minute, in-office procedure with local anesthetic. The benefits of the product include improved medication adherence, fewer relapses, ability to withdraw the medi ...

During altitude-induced hypoxia, operator cognitive and physical capacity degrades, compromising individual and team performance. Cognitive degradation is linked to falling brain energy levels, increased reliance on anaerobic energy production and lactate accumulation. Ketones are the evolutionary alternative substrate to glucose for brain metabolic requirements; previous studies demonstrated that ...

Aircraft and ground support equipment typically require restoration of structure and components damaged by corrosion, wear, and other surface defects. Current repair techniques inspect, clean, and then apply Corrosion Preventative Compounds, but do not provide dimensional restoration. Additionally, these traditional repair techniques may utilize and/or produce hazardous materials and waste. Conseq ...
