Passive Microwave Remote Sensing is currently utilized by AFRL, NASA, NOAA, and others to conduct Earth Science missions, including weather forecasting, early warning systems, and climate studies. Soundings of the atmosphere are conducted near several oxygen and water absorption lines at frequencies of ~20-200 GHz to determine key parameters of the atmospheric state, including temperature and humi ...

In support of the Hi-FIVE effort in wideband HF communications, optimized frequency selection, and improved parametric settings for signal control, we will employ NWRA’s extensive HF propagation software capabilities. Given an ionosphere estimate from our GPSII code, informed by current measurements (including WSPRnet and other link data), we can efficiently characterize the propagation cha ...

Coordinate Registration (CR) of OTHR targets requires accurate real-time ionospheric modeling coupled with HF propagation calculations to convert radar-detected target delays and beam steers to geographical positions. Our team has developed a comprehensive ionospheric data assimilation capability called GPSII. Within proposed effort GPSII will be matured for OTHR CR. Of particular value are recent ...

The seeds of failures of Defense projects can often be traced back to poor quality requirements and a lack of portfolio level coherence between associated projects. Because projects have become so complex, 100% paper-based methods are no longer suitable for requirements management. In June 2018, the DoD released its Digital Engineering Strategy which calls on the services to “move the primar ...

Maren-go and our teammate, Sentien, have created Maren-go Battlefield Herd AI Logistics (HAIL); a fundamentally different system that seamlessly brings together diverse digital verticals to outfit remote commanders and individual operators with ISR, logistic, and potentially kinetic capabilities without requiring expensive manned assets, all while enabling machine learning across a continually evo ...

The proposed product will provide low cost, comprehensive endpoint visibility ideal for USAF organizations whose mission includes development of custom cyber attack detection algorithms, investigation of cyber attack detection signals, or long-term storage of endpoint log data.

Our innovative 3D Motion Analysis technology allows for fast and efficient screening of running technique in military personnel that has previously not been available to this scale. We propose providing education and training on our portable 3D Motion Analysis technology to military personnel to explore new ways to utilize this technology. The education and training will focus on ways to identify ...

With the increasing use of composites in aerospace structures, the need to reduce cycle times and recurring costs while maintaining part quality is essential to any competitive manufacturing process. Thermoplastics composites (TPC) have potential performance, storage and shelf life advantages over traditional thermoset composites. Material deposition and methods such as Automated Fiber Placement ( ...

The following tasks are to be executed by the contractor in support of NAVAIR Materials Engineering Division AIR 4.3.4 and NAVSEA 04X3 Tactical Innovation Implementation Laboratory (TIIL). These tasks are in support of evaluating high pressure cold spray technology for the repair of A356 and E357 cast components, allowing the dimensional restoration and return to service of the components. The tas ...
