Energy is a critical enabling component of military operations and demand for it will continue to increase over the next few decades. Effective utilization of renewable energy could reduce demand for fuel for forward operating bases (FOBs), remote operating bases (ROBs), and expeditionary forces, and battlefields providing longer term energy solutions that support sustainment of technical superior ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The main objective of this project is to develop a new therapeutic to improve the outcome for patients with intermediate-risk prostate cancer. The indication is a first-line adjuvant to be combined with radiation therapy for prostate cancer. The desired outcomes are improved local control rate, decreased recurrence and improved disease-free survival. This grant ...

EdgyBees’ Augmentation Engine allows for the addition of augmented reality features to be placed over a camera’s video feed in order to assist orientation and consolidate information for the operator by highlighting key objects and features. Augmentation can take place over live video (from the camera perspective), over virtual sandbox (from an arbitrary perspective) or over Satellit ...

At Zeno, we’re developing an next-generation radioisotope power system (RPS) that operates by converting the heat from decaying radioisotopes directly into electricity – providing always-on, resilient power in the W-kW range for years at a time. NASA and the U.S. Department of Defense have historically used RPSs, but the cost or weight of these systems limited their broader usability. Zeno's ...

Development of a small UAS compatible Micro IFF transponder including Modes 1,2,3A,C,S , Dual band ADS-B, UAT, Mode 5 and interrogator. All modes include both receive (in) and transmit (out). Size is less than 8 cu inches and weight is under 6 oz with full AIMS 17-1000 compliance, including 500 watt output with diversity. Unit is also low cost and low maintenance. Unit meets full military temperat ...

The run time of the Aerodynamic and Propulsion Test Unit (APTU) facility operated by the Air Force Test Center (AFTC) requires extension to approximately 1000 seconds in order to support hypersonic system ground test and evaluation over an entire mission profile in a similar fashion has the Space and Missile Defense Command (SMDC) Hot Air Tunnel (HAT) effort.   CFD Research is leveraging prior i ...

The overall goal of the Phase II work is to advance novel tissue-integrating lactate sensors towards human testing as rapidly as possible (proposal does not include human testing itself). A single sensor injected subcutaneously can provide months of continuous physiological monitoring data transmitted wirelessly through near-infrared light for remote monitoring. This proposal includes activities s ...

The objective of this Air Force SBIR Phase II project is to meet the national defense-related mission needs of the Air Force in the area of Low Earth Orbit communications and command & control. More specifically, there is a clear Air Force need for SATCOM redundancy and resiliency (Need #6266), that Swarm is uniquely equipped to develop and provide through modification of commercial satellite hard ...

The Outerlink IRIS system is a commercially successful, real-time flight data processing system that includes a satellite-based data link. The system records voice, video, and aircraft flight data while at the same time Interrogating the data for informat

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Development is proposed of an x-ray Pixel Array Detector (PAD) consisting approximately of 2,000 x 2,000 pixels to enhance macromolecular crystallographic data collection at synchrotron sources. A PAD consists of an x-ray sensing integrated circuit layer bonded to a pixel electronics layer such that each pixel has its own processing electronics. PADs promise t ...
