  1. Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning to Improve Maneuver of Robotic/Autonomous Systems

    SBC: AUTONOMOUS SOLUTIONS, INC.            Topic: A17AT019

    Autonomous vehicles are being used for many applications varying from small indoor robots, to large-scale mining trucks, and military vehicles operating in fast-changing environments. Global position systems (GPS) have traditionally been used for vehicle positioning. GPS works well in open environments, but suffers from significant degradation due to terrain, certain operating conditions, and even ...

  2. BioSENSE, for identification of allosteric transcription factor biosensors

    SBC: SYNVITROBIO, INC.            Topic: A18BT016

    There is a need to develop affordable and specific biosensors to defend against current and future biological threats. Biological methods of detection have been evolved by nature to detect molecules at the micro-scale with flexible specificity and with downstream effectors. Advances in cell-free technology allow for deployment of biosensors on pH-strip-type paper, an affordable, robust, disposable ...

  3. Method for Locally Measuring Strength of a Polymer-Inorganic Interface During Cure and Aging

    SBC: METNA CO            Topic: A17AT016

    A nondestructive test system is under development for thorough, rapid and economical evaluation of the structure and properties of polymer-inorganic interfaces during curing and in service. The system is capable of in-situ, real-time and spatially resolved monitoring of the molecular structure and properties. It employs (single-sided) NMR relaxometry principles to detect and quantify defects and d ...

  4. Vibration-Enhanced Sensing of Buried Landmines

    SBC: Vadum, Inc.            Topic: A16AT004

    Vadum proposes to mature its Vibration-Enhanced Underground Sensing (VENUS) technology into a reliable, shallow-buried low-metal-content landmine discrimination and classification solution with minimal False Alarm Rate (FAR).  VENUS exploits a novel vibration phenomenology to provide unique discriminatory information and estimated classification of the buried target that enhances and complements ...

  5. AgileBeam Reconfigurable Free Space Optical Communication System

    SBC: SA Photonics, Inc.            Topic: AF18AT010

    Free Space Optical (FSO) communication systems provide many benefits for satellite communications, including high data rates and low Size, Weight and Power (SWaP) compared to traditional RF communication systems. Additionally, FSO systems operate without RF emissions and are inherently immune to RF interference and jamming. The narrow optical beams and small Field-of-View of the optical receivers ...

  6. Lasers Based on Gas or Liquid Filled Hollow-Core Photonic Crystal Fibers

    SBC: SA Photonics, Inc.            Topic: AF18BT015

    We propose a compact, monolithic, power scalable, hollow core fiber-gas laser emitting in the atmospheric transmission region in the mid-IR, titled "mid-IR ATLAS." The proposed optically pumped fiber-gas laser system is efficient, has a small footprint as well broad spectral coverage in the mid-IR. Due to the unique approach employed, the proposed technology allows generation of mid-IR output with ...

  7. Rapid Nondestructive Inspection of Traditionally Uninspectable Adhesively-Filled Composite Joints

    SBC: Thermal Wave Imaging Inc            Topic: AF18BT016

    To a large extent, Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) composites have become the material of choice in modern aircraft design, due to their high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion immunity and fatigue properties. Many primary structure components (e.g. bulkheads, stabilizers, wing boxes), where an aluminum skin was previously joined to a metallic airframe by fasteners, adhesives or welding, h ...

  8. A Software Toolkit for Predicting the Neural Signatures of Cognitive States

    SBC: Sonalysts, Inc.            Topic: AF18BT001

    The United States Air Force (USAF) has a long history of using human performance models to increase the effectiveness of training, and predict the impact of physical factors (like fatigue) and environmental factors (like time pressures and information uncertainty). Within Phase I, Sonalysts and Miami University worked to improve the quality of these models through the development of the EEG Modeli ...

  9. ISL-VT LEN ELECTRONICALLY DIMMABLE EYE PROTECTION DEVICES (EDEPD)

    SBC: Innosense Llc            Topic: AF18BT003

    This project addresses the U.S. Air Force needs for single-piece, electronically dimmable eye protection device (EDEPD). Toward demonstrating the proof-of-principle, InnoSense LLC (ISL) in Phase I developed and evaluated individual layer components and their stacked structures. ISL also demonstrated the fabrication processes for individual-layer components, stacked structures and the scale-up pote ...

  10. Military Supersonic Cargo and Troop Transport Concept: How Exosonic's Commercial Supersonic Airliner can be Transitioned to a Military Supersonic Transport Vehicle

    SBC: Exosonic, Inc.            Topic: AF19BT001

    Exosonic develops supersonic commercial jets for airlines and proposes a USAF version. This aircraft flies at Mach 1.8 over 5000 nmi and carries 64-92 troops or 6 troops and 6 463L master pallets.
