There is a need to increase engine time on wing of aircraft engines to eliminate $1.1 billion in in operational and sustainment costs across 2,823 Air Force aircraft, while increasing availability of aircraft to assist the USAF in its mission to fly, fight, and win. Sensatek Propulsion Technology, Inc. in collaboration with Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University proposes to assist the USAF ...

Ombra, a Florida-based Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) will conduct a thorough Feasibility Study to develop a Protecting Fingerprint Systems from Spoof Attacks (PFSSA) system for the Air Force and United States Special Operation Command (USSOCOM). Biometric systems are vulnerable to attacks using fake biometrics to obscure an individual’s natural biometric signature. ...

ABSTRACT: Infrared sources and sensors are becoming increasingly useful for military and commercial applications. We propose to exploit recent advances in multimaterial fiber technology to produce a new class of optical infrared fibers that are robust and low in cost for high-power, high-stress environments. The use of beam confining fiber optics reduces or eliminates issues with misalignment or d ...

The US Air Force requires quantitative spatially and temporally resolved measurements of key rate-controlling intermediate species in reacting flows at elevated pressures for Air Force advanced propulsion systems. Such information is critically needed fo...
