The Air Force is interested in developing technology that would enable long duration hypersonic flight with reusable aircraft. Hypersonic flow presents many design challenges that can be encapsulated into an aerothermoelastic problem, i.e., a complex dyn...

Current scene projection hardware is challenged to simultaneously meet the requirements for high peak temperature (> 2000K), high resolution (2Kx2K), response time < 4 ms, cryogenic and temporally uniform photon flux. MEMS, Resistor arrays, liquid cr...

An experiment to obtain validation data on the transient aerothermoelastic response of a curved panel in hypersonic flows will be designed and evaluated for its feasibility. Significant challenges must be overcome for a successful experimental campaign i...

The modern warfighter faces the constant threat of endemic infections, multi-drug resistant bacteria and Biological Warfare Agents. In order to provide accurate front-line treatment that will curtail the overuse of antibiotics, a rapid and robust molecula

Commercially-derived telescope systems, consisting mostly of commercially available components assembled to optimally meet space surveillance goals, stand ready to temporarily replace, supplement and/or augment existing optical surveillance systems. In t...

AIS proposes the Thunderlane effort to define a new operating system model that radically dissolves the boundary between hypervisor and operating system, and leverages state-of-the-art software diversity techniques. In concert, these capabilities provide unparalleled resistance against reverse-engineering, and ensure the reliability and security of application and system software. The Thunderlane ...

There are many challenges in creating Air Force systems that are resilient against cyber threats. The cyber environment and its threats are highly dynamic, requiring practices and training to be dynamic as well. Cyber threats must be considered during th...

ExoAnalytic Solutions, teamed with Texas A&M University, will develop Highly-mobile Autonomous Rapidly Relocatable Integrated Electro-optical Resources (HARRIER) with the goal being to design and demonstrate tracking of resident space objects (RSOs) in n...

The Air Force has identified a need for the creation of a common streaming model for 3D data that is agnostic to the display technology. To address this need, Third Dimension Technologies (TDT) and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) propose to form a c...

Molecular beam epitaxy has become essential technique to produce high quality materials and complicated structures. Competing with other growth techniques, such as MOCVD, it has demonstrated higher materials quality and better film uniformity. These adva...
