The Phase II effort will fully develop and realize a cost-effective, practically-oriented means to design and deliver radiation hardened digital electronic components capable of reliable operation in MDA and other DoD space and interceptor environments. Micro-RDC will accomplish this by working closely with ViASIC to integrate both new and existing radiation design hardening techniques into their ...

Coherent Logix, Incorporated proposes to develop a Hyperspectral Image Processing Platform (HIPP) that will revolutionize hyperspectral image processing systems with the capability to process a 128 Megabyte (MB) hyperspectral data cube at more than 30 data cubes per second while simultaneously being able to detect and track more than 970 independent anomalies per second. This computation intensiv ...

UHAC has demonstrated the capability to operate in water, mud, sand, and over rough terrain. The CACs are the foundation of the concept and those used on the technology demonstrator vehicles possessed the necessary functionality, but lacked the durability required for military vehicles. Under this proposal CACs with the necessary durability will be developed and tested. Also addressed will be the ...

The Air Force has a need to deliver a payload to a specifically identified target location within prescribed accuracy limits. The delivery system must be small, light-weight, and capable of operating effectively at significantly greater distances than existing man-portable systems. AeroVironment Inc. (AVI) will design, build, test and deliver air vehicles, launchers and ground control units und ...

Today’s aerospace industry struggles to rapidly design, experiment, and field novel aerospace and defense capabilities because of the “lock in” business practices of major prime contractors. The rise of computational tools has not shortened design and build timelines over the last 50 years because their use has been offset by a “hard tooling” mindset investing in overly durable and compl ...

The ability to rapidly deploy shelter is critical to a lethal and resilient force. New and innovative technologies are needed to advance the capabilities of Air Force civil engineers and RED HORSE units. ICON is developing a technology that could offer a step advance in the ability of expeditionary teams to rapidly deploy shelter and base defenses using 3D printing of concrete structures. Potentia ...

Falkonry believes its AI-enabled LRS could add significant value to the processing of electronic intelligence (ELINT) data, at scale and for significantly l ...

The USAF repair depots expend tremendous amounts of resources applying high technology thermal spray coatings to improve the performance of components and systems. In general, thermal spray application processes are complex, requires high cost equipment that are expensive to operate, need highly trained personnel and necessitate constant verification testing to ascertain the coatings meet requirem ...

ABSTRACT:Quantitative ablation recession rate measurements of heat shield surfaces are essential for evaluating the performance of heat shield materials. Currently, these measurements are limited to two-dimensional images that focus on the nose tip regression rate. For wedge testing, recession rate is determined by comparing pre- and post-test measurements, and therefore, recession rate as a funct ...

Tectus is developing the underlying technology required to deliver an augmented reality platform that enables information to be instantaneous, unobtrusive, and available hands-free. Tectus envisions a future in which technology becomes so small and discreet that it is practically invisible, and where people can access information that is visible only to them and invisible to everyone else. The tec ...
