TiER1’s proposed SCYTHE (Simulate CYber Threats using Hybrid Entities) system will advance the state-of-the-art in cyber operator training technologies. SCYTHE combines proven technologies and gameful learning design with innovative advances in intelligent agent authoring capabilities. SCYTHE leverages your training sandbox where trainee cyber defenders interact with SCYTHE’s advanced attacker ...

In the Phase I effort, GTL showed that future missile interceptor performance can be substantially increased by the combination of an innovative configuration and a breakthrough composite tank technology. The Phase II effort will include material characterization testing and the fabrication and testing of multiple small-scale tanks. Based on those results, GTL will design, analyze, fabricate and t ...

As organizations scale it becomes increasingly difficult to have a consistent experience for new employees being introduced to the culture and their role. We know that onboarding experiences—and how well they meet expectations and needs—influence how employees engage with the culture and their success in the role. The academic leaders at the United States Air Force Academy have obser ...

Learn 2 Win is an interactive, mobile learning platform used by top football and basketball teams to train their athletes. Current clients include the University of North Carolina, University of Michigan, Stanford University, University of Notre Dame, many other NCAA programs, and over 400 high schools. Leadership of the Air Combat Command (ACC) Training Support Squadron (TRSS) has expressed inter ...

Branch Technology is an architectural fabricator specializing in large-scale 3D-Printing for the construction arena. The company’s process, called Cellular Fabrication (C-FAB), combines industrial robotics, powerful algorithms, and Freeform extrusion to produce lightweight, robust, and custom architectural components.

ARCS will accelerate and broaden the understanding of Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) Inspectors by using Augmented Reality to show the underlying physics of NDE—teaching the Why not just the What.

Third Dimension Technologies (TDT) proposes to develop a holographic 3D Field of Light Display (FoLD) Virtual Reality Sandbox for Mission Planning. Low-level Special Operations missions require flight at or below ground level. Intimate knowledge of the terrain to be covered during a mission is necessary to prevent collision with terrain objects or buildings. Any such collision can result in the lo ...

Engine testing requires extensive time for manual data reduction and analysis, adding several months to the end of the test, increasing test costs and impacting the overall development schedule. Commercial industry has adopted automated data reduction and analysis techniques, which has led to reduced engine development cycle times, improved test efficiency, and reduced development costs. Adopting ...

Additive Manufacturing (AM) offers the potential for 30-60% cost savings on complex, high-value parts in the aerospace industry solving numerous sustainment issues facing the USAF. New methodologies are needed that leverage new material characterization methods with advanced computational tools, to quickly link microstructural properties/defects with material/component performance. Development of ...

International FemtoScience will develop and demonstrate a new technology to achieve an advanced accelerometer that enhances an Inertial Measurement Unit’s high-g operability. This accelerometer provides smaller, lighter, more robust, less expensive devices, compatible with known production methodologies. To achieve the required performance a novel material (not silicon-based, to achieve the high ...
