NextGen Federal Systems (NextGen) seeks to integrate and operationalize existing capabilities and their SBIR results into a complete and operational Weather Machine Learning Platform (WxMLP). The proposed WxMLP Research to Operations effort directly addresses the Air Force Science and Technology Strategic Capability of Rapid, Effective Decision-Making. This Strategic Capability aims to increase th ...

This SBIR Phase II project will develop a new technology that provides 2D/3D/4D visualization of weather information within a commercial GIS (Geographic Information System) environment. GIS systems provide rich support for mapping, geographic data handling, spatial query, and geographic analysis functionality, but do not include native support for weather. GIS systems typically use static (atemp ...

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will investigate the feasibility of extending a popular and successful commercial GIS (Geographic Information System) architecture to provide 2D/3D visualization and analysis of weather information.Currently, weather data is routinely analyzed and displayed using a variety of specialized software technologies. GIS systems provide richer suppo ...

Due to growing requirements for weather exploitation across a wide variety of mission applications, coupled with high perishability of the environmental data, the dissemination of data for use in weather impact analysis is putting an increasing strain on the bandwidth connecting the AFW to its consumers. Additionally, the AFW Enterprise has not yet taken full advantage of emerging DoD cloud platfo ...

Purpose: With national attention on the shortage of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) professionals, enrollment in science is expected to be on the rise in the years to come. Laboratory work is seen as an essential part of many STEM courses, because labs enable students to interact with natural phenomena and analyze collected data. Funding adequate labs, however, has become ...

In recent years there has been substantial investigation into heavy-fuel (diesel or JP-8) engine technologies with the goal of producing small engines (in the 5 horsepower range) for a number of useful applications within both military and commercial areas ranging from unmanned vehicles to power generation. However, practical solutions that resulted in working viable power-plants with the perform ...

The military has a great need for very small, heavy-fuel (diesel or JP-8) engines for a wide variety of applications (e.g. small, unmanned air and ground vehicles, and power generation). Likewise the commercial small engine market (lawn tools, chainsaws, and model aircraft) can benefit from engines that burn heavy and alternative fuels while producing reduced emissions. However, there are numero ...
