Award Data

Large-scale military and civilian planning problems are (1) distributed – decision-making is spread across multiple organizations, including organizations that must employ information that they are unable or unwilling to share; (2) heterogeneous – the domains of optimization and local criteria for optimality differ – and (3) hierarchical – higher levels of authority solve abstract versions ...

Your crazy schedule is working on your blinking, heavy eyelids while you yawn again. And again.  That quick carb-heavy bite you grabbed for lunch is no help while you struggle to concentrate on the expensive equipment in front of you. You’re irritable from the caffeine you hoped would help. The only thing you can think about is the last good night’s sleep you had.  When was that anyway? You ...

Dragoon Technology proposes to develop a power-dense hybrid powerplant meeting the requirements of small deployable Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), providing greater endurance and range than that provided by battery power. Dragoon’s existing hybrid powertrain meets the needs of small, long endurance UAS, and will be adapted to the higher power and more compact form factor requirements of deployed ...

Event-based cameras are novel sensors that output brightness changes in the form of a stream of asynchronous "events" instead of intensity frames. Compared to conventional image sensors, they offer significant advantages: high temporal resolution, high dy

The AF22A-T006 STTR topic “Development of Integrated Infrared Focal Plane Arrays on Si, Requiring No Hybridization” seeks to develop infrared focal plane arrays (FPAs) directly onto silicon readout integrated circuitry without hybridization, operating at

Maintaining awareness of the space environment is a critical task for national security, one that currently relies primarily on radar and photometric data to track the thousands of active satellites and debris in Earth orbit. Despite the volumes of data a

The Legionarius smart combat shirts are capable of detecting vital signs and penetrating wounds to the warfighter (shot, shrapnel, cut, burn), autonomously sending out an alert via Android Tactical Assault Kit (ATAK) and the Air Force Battlefield Assisted

The Fuel Stability program will enable the Air Force to identify fundamental jet fuel chemical properties in real-time and in the field, for properties such as Thermal Stability. The Fuel Stability model development effort will focus on building a compreh

Small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS) have proven to be an effective tool for surveillance, intelligence, and reconnoitering (ISR) operations. These systems are also becoming more readily available for use by DOD organizations due to the emergence of the U
