Award Data

According to the aerospace medical association 70% to 85% of pilot trainees experience motion sickness. Otolith has developed a wearable technology which has been clinically proven to significantly reduce motion sickness in 100% of subjects with reported efficacy greater than pharmaceutical interventions. The AETC is facing a pilot shortage and has expressed desire for Otolith to integrate its tec ...

Our solution to solving complex problems in a rapidly changing environment is leveraging disruptive dual-use technologies that can impact both the public and private sector. We will do this by running an International Defense Accelerator. Doing so ensures the technological edge of the US military and its allies, as the commercial market drives that market forward at the speed of relevance. Additio ...

The objective of this proposal is to adapt a commercially available gravity infusion monitor to wirelessly integrate with BATDOK and other commercial patient monitoring systems. The scope of this effort spans hardware design, software engineering, and field testing with the 711th HPW and 103rd RQS. Intravenously (IV) administered medications are essential and versatile for treating critical patien ...

Tyndall AFB and AFWERX Austin have a national defense-related mission need in the area of advanced facilitation, problem definition and the identification of solutions. Specifically, how do we establish an environment that fosters collaboration, a system of methodologies for the facilitation of problem definition, and the connection points to industry outreach for the identification of solutions? ...

Vita Inclinata has developed a solution to address the systemic capabilities gap in rotary wing suspended load operations- uncontrolled cable motion. Under the 183-001 Phase I effort , the team identified DoD service-wide Search and Rescue (SAR), Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape (SERE), and sling load teams who detailed the severity of external load rotary wing rescue missions due to non e ...

Atmospheric optical turbulence reduces the capability of free space optical communication systems and directed energy systems to achieve their missions. The optical turbulence forecasts will allow the users of these systems to plan their missions to ensure success. Guidestar Optical Systems (Guidestar) has developed an optical turbulence forecast technology that uses commercially available Numeric ...

Achieving hypersonic flight with air breathing vehicles using logistics fuels is a demanding task. A significant challenge in the development of single use and reusable systems alike is ignition of the scramjet engine at low Mach numbers. Unfortunately, current ignition systems do not provide reliable performance at low Mach number. Therefore, there is a strong need for a significant ignition capa ...

Research conducted in Phase I identified a range of data sources providing vehicle related information to consumers shopping around or interested in knowing more about vehicles. Majority of the commercial data sources focused on vehicle features, new/used/CPO pricing, and vehicles listings. Such data sources lacked safety as their central focus, which is a concern for U.S. Department of Transporta ...

Ground-based testing of air / space-borne sensors & trackers (SBIRS, GMD, THAAD, etc.) requires achromatic optical collimation systems that can project dynamic scenes & targets at very large apparent distances. The collimation system must undergo major adjustments to optimally accommodate the FOV of various test articles, but the projection quality is extremely sensitive to misalignment of the lar ...

SpaceWorks proposes to continue development and advancement of its novel QuickShot trajectory optimization software suite. A number of new modeling capabilities of value when simulating advanced military systems will be implemented. Additionally, a variety of case studies and applications that will showcase and demonstrate utilization of these new features will be conducted.
