To address the U.S. Space Force’s need for grappling of uncontrolled and unprepared objects, Kall Morris Inc (KMI) is further developing the REACCH soft-capture end effector, which provides secure control of RSOs to support the warfighter. The REACCH end

KMI’s Asteria module, the critical-function prototype constructed in Phase I, provides gecko adhesion for semi-permanent attachment to nearly any surface in orbit. The Asteria attachment utilizes gecko adhesion in a radial design for deployable permanent

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 ...

    SBIR Abstract X224-OCSO1 FX224-OCSO1-1103 – Supercharger for Small Engines Current Word Count: 200   Alternate fuel adoption away from gasoline in small internal combustion engines for combat operations, especially small Unmanned Aerial Systems, has been difficult due to the reduction in engine specific power output (power/volume & power/weight) when operating on alternate fuels.  Power ...

Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) is a paradigm necessitating modern simulation testbeds. Existing solutions address some of these task requirements, human factors constructs, and domains separately, however they are not designed for research w

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

To address the U.S. Air Force’s need for rendezvous, proximity operations, and docking (RPOD) with uncontrolled Resident Space Objects (RSO), Kall Morris Inc (KMI) is developing TumblEye to characterize unrecognized objects to support the warfighter requi

Virtual EM proposes develop a massively parallel ASIC for orders of mangnitude speed up of electromagnetic simulations of thin optical lenses made of metamaterials. The ASIC will implement a prorietary algorithm and will deliver scalable run-times that cut the simulation time by more than 1000x compared to today's state-of-the-art simulators.

SIFT and the University of Southern California's Information Sciences Institute (USC/ISI) propose to develop the Multi-Agent Debloating Environment to Increase Robustness in Applications (MADEIRA). MADEIRA will apply AI/ML techniques to learn how to apply diverse debloating tools, automatically reducing the attack surfaces of full systems that may include firmware, OS, container, and application-l ...

Hypersonic weapons are one of the main priorities of the Department of Defense (DoD) activities since China and Russia have such capabilities (e.g. the DF-ZF, designated by Pentagon as the WU-14, is a hypersonic missile delivery vehicle that has been operational by China since 2019).  Due to the importance of these adversarial threats, the Navy, Army, and Air Force have programs for developing hy ...
