Solstar’s Critical Data Relay Spacecraft Operational Status (CritDR-SOS), aka Deke, unit integrates with a spacecraft’s Telemetry, Tracking and Commanding (TT&C) system to provide first-ever bi-directional, continuous, internet-based monitoring of the spa

Utilizing MCT’s proven customization development process developed over the past 50 years—including refining requirements, engineering designing, prototyping, testing, mass manufacturing, fielding, and sustaining—MCT proposes tailor-made, cost and time efficient mobile operations/maintenance platforms for DOD, DOE, Federal/State/Local/Tribal Government entities, and commercial sector Custom ...

Luminescent solar concentrators (LSC) is a laminated solar window technology that enables window-integrated sunlight harvesting for electricity generation, in which an portion of light absorbed by the window “tint” is shifted to a specific color by quantum dots (QDs) and directed towards small solar cells attached at the edges of the LSC. Inherently, laminated glass LSC solar windows combine t ...

The IGI Gravity Force Absorber lessens the forces on jumpers (decreasing injuries) and equipment are exposed to. IGI testing has been completed by NATIC and reduced force reduction by 30% improving the survivability of the jumper, the canopy, and the equipment.  

The modern space environment is dynamic and contested, requiring constant surveillance to detect maneuvers and thwart malicious intents. Modern maneuver detection techniques rely on either increasing solution noise or estimating maneuvers by propagating multiple models. Both suffer during long data gaps or in cluttered environments, thereby yielding inconsistent results in proliferated orbital reg ...

Tau Technologies’ proposed approach is based on a single-ended eye-safe pulsed laser Rayleigh guide star source with the employment of an SLM (Spatial Light Modulator) to form a dynamic Hartman-Shack turbulence sensor.  This system results in turbulence s

The smart contact lens application presents several unique challenges to successfully produce functional circuitry on the contact lens surface.  These complex-shaped, flexible substrates limit the use of traditional, mature electronic manufacturing approa

Store certification is an important step to integrate new weapons and aircraft into the Navy and Marine Corps. The store certification process ensures that stores can be safely separated from aircraft in flight and develops a flight envelope of the conditions required for safe separation. Certifying stores requires proper model development and simulation which is then validated through flight test ...

This effort is more than just a facility innovation question. It is existential to the Army’s preparation for the future fight.  SPRC’s can’t just be a new evolution of fitness facility, but they must meet new soldiers where they are, and lead them to their potential as soldiers.  The right SPRC program will affect recruiting and retention, and ultimately the Army’s global force generati ...

Characterization of liquid aerosol droplets in agent defeat scenarios presents enormous challenges, in part due to high optical density conditions in sprays generated from shock or fragment interactions with liquid-filled containers.  We propose a new diagnostic that can probe optically dense regions, based on optical scattering of laser light from particles/droplets.  Our diagnostic instrument ...
