An innovative, new seeker gimbal design featuring “drop in” integration into the missile tube. Transporting, warehousing, and other aspects of logistical support is aided by its innovative and rugged design. A major improvement over traditional gimbals that require “ship within a bottle” assembly techniques. Most gimbals require interior brackets bolted into the missile tube before the fra ...

AFWERX has a national defense-related mission need in the area of innovation scale through airmen engagement via crowdsourcing, value tracking and program and platform management for organizational crowdsourcing, organizational engagement, and program scale. Specifically, the Air Force has launched a crowdsourcing tool and needs help ensuring the best use of the platform. There is a gap between th ...

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 ...

There are two main objectives that this proposal addresses. The first is to develop an oil additive that reduces friction and is thermally conductive and designed to increase engine efficiency and equipment lifecycles. This will be obtained through further material production and testing. Once the desired thermal conductivity and friction coefficient is achieved, the oil additive will be tested at ...

Security certification of software for life- and mission-critical systems impacts both cost and schedule. While some microkernels offer significant safety and security advantages over classic operating system and real-time operating system approaches, it remains difficult to certify the resulting systems. It is also easy to construct unsafe and insecure systems based on microkernels. The proposed ...

Stratus is a secure tactical edge cloud that adapts to changes in the availability of compute and communications resources. It supports classified and unclassified computation and communication. The Stratus cloud can be grown incrementally, without need for IT expertise in the field. Cloud management software assigns tasks to cloud resources based on mission priorities, security classification and ...

Nanoparticles represent an attractive alternative in coating processes due to their functional versatility, including surface, optical, conductive and catalytic properties. However, current processes of coating textile products with nanoparticles results in rapid loss of the nanoparticles during laundering or use, leading to a significant decrease in product durability and functionality and increa ...

The Defense Health Agency has identified the need for an advanced computing and networking capability to support unfettered operation of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) systems in delayed/disconnected, intermittently-connected, low-bandwidth (DIL) enviro

Noise in the source data limits effectiveness and utility of models, algorithms and tools used by the Army for Condition Based Maintenance (CBM+) of its aviation fleet. This impedes the sustainment and availability of its aviation fleet. The Data Refinery for Aviation Sustainment (DRAS) applies methods and techniques from statistics, data science, machine learning and data management to refine the ...
