This is a follow-on SBIR Phase II as a result of a fully executed SBIR Technology Transition Plan to transition MSI’s COgnitive Stochastic MOdeling System (COSMOS) in a microsystem hardware to increase reliability of systems and components which would reduce maintenance and increase operational availability, which reduces the number of aircraft needed to complete missions. ACC and the AFRL ...

An Energetic Charged Particle (ECP) sensor with reduced SWaP would enhance the nation’s space-based platform for space weather observing systems by enabling the use of smaller spacecraft. Moreover, a modular architecture that enables customization of the instrument target spectra to the mission profile would allow further optimizations in SWaP while still enabling the acquisition of valuabl ...

To meet the requirements of the AF18A-T015 solicitation, MaXentric and University of California San Diego are proposing the development of a low loss, high linearity capacitor. The tunable capacitor target is a compact integrated design, capable of a tuning range up to 4:1, with a minimum Q of 80 at 4 GHz, and handling up to 20W CW. During phase I, UCSD studied a novel varactor structure to improv ...

Enduvo is a software application that allows practically anyone to create virtual reality (VR) experiences (think 3D videos and interactive games), and then use these experiences for training and collaboration. The software is designed to be used by everyday people like teachers and trainers and is similar to other content creation tools like Microsoft PowerPoint. Our existing customers, projected ...

The Phase II proposal provides for a very discreet, convenient, and robust way for (1) personnel in the field or on base to alert operations leadership if a situation arises requiring a response and to then provide locational tracking of that situation in real-time world-wide, (2) operations leadership to have locational awareness of large or small teams of personnel in the field and apply context ...

Using a cryogenic treatment process to improve heat transmissivity and reduce corrosion on at-risk military metals, while also increasing firearms accuracy by 50%, or extending the life of ground vehicle and fixed-wing aviation asset brake rotors by 300%, in order to increase uptime, reliability, and availability of units in a combat environment. Expanding on the previously issued AFWERX Phase II ...

Humans are exposed to electromagnetic (EM) energy constantly, both intentionally and unintentionally. From personnel operating communication and surveillance equipment to high energy radio-frequency tumor ablation. Identifying and quantifying tissue damage caused by these exposures is difficult due to individual human response variability and operating condition unknowns. Many different software t ...

Develop prototype CFD post-processinig software will be developed that will visualize HO element output data of at least P4 utilizing the basis functions employed by COFFE ((task1) and develop an API to communicate with CREATE software products (Task 2).

The goal of the proposed STTP is to improve the Jam Beam Radiometer capability in the TAPS System to provide enhanced characterization of missile warning systems during testing against simulated SAM and AAM. The resulting radiometer and gimbal system will improve the current live fire testing process by providing enhanced JBR capability, which will significantly enhance the TAPS testing scenario c ...

The Air Force Research Laboratory is investigating methods to extract more electrical power from turbine engines. One method being investigated is the extraction of electrical power from the low spool. The net objective of this effort is to design, build, and test a low spool turbine engine generator using permanent magnet, brushless technology, integrated into the periphery of the intake fan of a ...
