Open-ended waveguide probes have been developed and successfully tested for nondestructive characterization of multi-layered non-conductive composite structures as well as coatings on conductive substrates. These probes have been used to inspect radomes, fiberglass composites, coating thickness, corrosion under paint and composites, specialty coatings such as radar absorbing materials and resistiv ...

Team Trek10 is comprised of Trek10 Inc. along with the University of Notre Dame (ND) to provide Cloud Enablement Curriculum (CEC) to satisfy Air Force and Digital University concerns surrounding the teaching, training, enabling, and validating cloud computing skills across the Air Force. Team Trek10 will leverage its advanced SME background in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud as well as online ...

Despite decades of experimental and theoretical studies cyclic fatigue failure remains one of the most critical challenges for engineering as it can occur without any indication of impending failure. More than half of mechanical in service failures are due to cyclic fatigue resulting in unanticipated and significant costs. Metallurgical Acoustic Research Solutions, LLC (MARS, LLC) in collaboration ...

York Space Systems and Metropolitan State University of Denver collaborate to bring the latest research in image processing and machine learning to significantly improve the GSD of low-cost space-based Earth observation.

Our solution is a secure software development kit (SDK) that supports compliant, secure mobile app development. Through instantiation of an approved mobile pipeline, our technical solution creates and requires use of a secure SDK, empowering developers to deliver compliant apps that protect and secure data from 3rd party access, at cost savings to the Government. Phase I maps functions to NIAP com ...

Extensive testing at substantial cost is a major part of military propulsion development programs. These programs involve numerous component and engine tests aimed at producing safe and reliable engines. Despite these efforts, engines still experience unexpected failures. Geometric variability of parts within design tolerances is a well-known source of uncertainty in overall reliability. USAF sust ...

Access to high-quality technical talent is a growing need in the US Air Force (USAF), the Department of Defense (DoD), and the federal Government as a whole. Competition over high-quality candidates can be fierce, causing Government clients to expend time and energy just filling seats on their software projects, let alone getting the work itself done. To quickly build secure applications and keep ...

Missile attitude in flight can be difficult to determine from ground-based images due to image resolution, lighting, object occlusion, and poor contrast. To address the need, UHV and UTARI propose a fusion based approach of 2 well proven methods to solve this problem. First, UHV Technologies will implement their existing innovative and state of the art machine learning methods for image segmentati ...

We propose to develop optical oscillators with instabilities in the 10^-15 decade suitable for a range of out-of-the-laboratory applications, including remotely located stations, moving vehicles and space platforms. Cavity-stabilized optical oscillators provide orders-of-magnitude better stability than current rf and microwave oscillators, and are essential for optical atomic clocks. However, they ...
