Award Data

TakeFlight Interactive’s automated training platform combines the power of games, AI, and data analytics into a Virtual Flight Instructor (VFI). Running as an overlay on consumer or deployed simulator hardware, the VFI manages the simulator, configures specific maneuvers and scenarios, and directs the trainee via detailed verbal instructions, real-time feedback, and objective grading of pil ...

There are two main objectives that this proposal addresses. The first is to develop an oil additive that reduces friction and is thermally conductive and designed to increase engine efficiency and equipment lifecycles. This will be obtained through further material production and testing. Once the desired thermal conductivity and friction coefficient is achieved, the oil additive will be tested at ...

The objective of this proposal is to adapt a commercially available gravity infusion monitor to wirelessly integrate with BATDOK and other commercial patient monitoring systems. The scope of this effort spans hardware design, software engineering, and field testing with the 711th HPW and 103rd RQS. Intravenously (IV) administered medications are essential and versatile for treating critical patien ...

The increasing use of composites in aerospace structures combined with rising production rates, is driving the need for higher yields and reduced cycle time in composite manufacturing. Variability during the debulk and bagging processes have a significant impact on the part variability and quality (porosity, part thickness, distortion). Convergent Manufacturing Technologies US (CMT-US) proposes a ...

Echodyne proposes conducting testing and analysis of its EchoGuard radar’s automatic UAV classifier performance in order to enhance its ability to support UAS sensing and avoidance. Echodyne has applied its breakthrough Metamaterials Electronically Scanning Array (MESA) phased-array technology to build the EchoGuard, a radar that can handle a range of missions, including surveillance, short ...

This SBIR effort will develop the OptiNav Functional Beamforming tool to make noise source characterizations of aircraft/engines be simpler, faster, and cheaper. Many platforms do not have funding to afford the cost of current noise characterization procedures; however, this project directly addresses that gap. The work under this project will be to further develop the OptiNav, Inc. FB capability ...

Tethers Unlimited Inc (TUI) proposes to develop the “Structural Electronics Quasi-Additive-Manufacturing� (SEQAM) Process, a novel approach to building highly-integrated multifunctional systems based upon using standard Printed Circuit Board (PCB) materials as a primary structural medium. The motivation for SEQAM is to reduce the cost of producing small satellite constellations, which ...

TUI proposes to establish a rapid access hosted payload service dubbed HyperBus, enabled by TUI’s Modular Payload Platform (MPP). MPP is a 6Ux2U modular, multi-functional spacecraft architecture that provides rapidly-configurable power, C&DH, ADCS, propulsion, and comms services to hosted payloads from 1U to 10U in volume. In addition to risk, schedule, and cost savings realized through the ...

The Model-based Off-Nominal State Identification and Detection (MONSID) FM system addresses the need for cost-effective solutions that enable higher levels of onboard spacecraft autonomy to reliably maintain operational capabilities. The system will provide onboard off-nominal state detection and isolation capabilities that are key components to assessing spacecraft state awareness. The ability to ...
