Data Society presents a technical quote in response to Topic AF192-001 to the AFWERX Command of the United States Air Force that is focused on demonstrating the feasibility of, and operational and financial gains that would result from, delivering an Artificial Intelligence-powered tool to provide situational awareness across AI and science and technology capabilities to facilitate research and id ...

Myasthenia gravis is a severe neuromuscular disease primarily caused by complement activating autoantibodies directed towards the skeletal muscle acetylcholine receptor. Present treatments are ineffectiveand uniformly have adverse effects, which negatively impact quality of life. Despite being a rare disease, myasthenia gravis is a costly one with a hospitalization expense of half a billion dollar ...

The US Air Force relies on a global supply chain that is increasingly commercial, and thus continuously subject to foreign influence as evidenced by the Chinese Supermicro hack. Foreign influence on the vendors serving the US Air Force is a persistent and high-risk challenge that can only be addressed through continuous monitoring. However, the current process for supply chain illumination relies ...

The objective of this proposal is to demonstrate the feasibility of a system for automatically harvesting, normalizing, enriching, and mining publicly available foreign national security data from public records on the deep web, with a specific focus on the defense and intelligence industrial base and the innovation economies of strategic rivals of the United States. The resulting system would be ...

Information operations have become critical in hybrid warfare for both great power competition and counter-terrorism. Disinformation campaigns run by the United States’ adversaries, -- notably Russia, Iran, and ISIS -- have taken advantage of the unrestricted nature of the Internet to attack American democracy and national interests. Omelas stops threats emanating from the online informatio ...

The current data file sharing platform, ARMDEC SAFE, is outdated, unstable and contains numerous significant cyber vulnerabilities. This inadequate file sharing website is currently being used by the Air force and DoD. This proposal introduces a commercially proven file sharing solution, EyesOnly, which arguably is the most secure product in the global cyber security industry for sensitive data fi ...

To address the Navy need for enhanced ambient-noise modeling for sonar-sensor performance estimation, sonar tactical decision aids (TDAs), and simulation-based training, ARiA will develop, demonstrate, and transition key building blocks for an enhanced multidimensional ambient-noise model (MDANM) needed to overcome the limitations of the current state of practice for noise modeling in sonar TDAs a ...

Excessive alcohol use is the third-leading preventable cause of death in the U.S. with young adults ages 18-29 showing the highest rates of hazardous alcohol use. Community colleges serve over 12 million students, comprising 45% of all U.S. college students. Community college students (CCS) show rates of heavy alcohol use similar to students at traditional four-year residential (FYR) colleges, but ...

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 ...
