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 ...

This proposal addresses the development of a Command Post and Acoustic Listening Posts for performing detection and automatic geo-location and classification of transient acoustic sounds associated with the firing of weapons, especially rockets, mortars, and artillery and the corresponding munitions impacts. Key components of the system are rugged low-noise infrasound sensors, state-of-the-art aco ...

Reconfigurable authentication unit for reading security codes printed onto parts. Our technology uses upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) to print durable security codes onto authentic products. We have developed a working reading apparatus that can scan codes printed onto objects with the dimensions of a credit card. This proposal will support development of a reader apparatus that is versatile en ...

Current communication between a Fighter Pilot’s Helmet and the Cockpit is through a sophisticated cable. The requirements for the Helmet Heads Up Display and Video/Audio feed require Giga bps throughput. In this Phase I effort, a millimeter wave wireless system will be designed that supports end to end Gigabit Ethernet through a wireless link with the potential for 3.4 Gbps throughput. The ...

Proposed herein are novel design methodologies to create sensors for chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and/or explosive (CBRNE) detection aboard a Small Unmanned Aerial System (SUAS), as well as intelligent Bayesian-based plume analysis and source detection algorithms that offer capabilities for the Air Force above and beyond the state of the art. The assembled technical team of experts ...

With over 40+ years of community and entrepreneurial ecosystem building experience across our team, we have the knowledge, network, and frameworks to efficiently research and develop the best approach for the Air Force/AFWERX to expand its entrepreneurial ecosystem and engagement. The ultimate benefit is to keep the USAF and AFWERX competitive through innovation.

Camgian’s offering and capabilities center around the Prowl® Android Tactical Assault Kit (ATAK) Application / Plug-in and the Prowl Radar System. Prowl’s RF architecture, RF signaling, and digital signal processing techniques enable tracking of human targets out to 500 meters in an open field with total power draw of about 1 watt. Prowl is an ideal system for use in Force Protect ...

NanoCoatings, Inc. (NCI) and South Dakota School of Mines & Technology (SDSMT) propose to demonstrate a unique high-voltage anodize process, Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation (PEO), to produce crystalline-oxide conversion surfaces on Al-alloy (e.g., 2024 Al) and Ti-alloy surfaces that provide comparable or higher corrosion and wear-resistance over hard Chromium (Cr) plating. The intended application i ...
