Under the subsequent Phase II program, Analysis, Design & Diagnostics, Inc. will work closely with the Office of Naval Research (ONR), SEA06-NSW, NUWC Newport and the Integration team from NSWC Panama City to integrate the Sonar Intercept Receiver and CAPs into the SEAL Delivery Vehicle (SDV). The combined system will provide the SDV with an Increased Situational Awareness (ISA) capability for inc ...

The research objective of the proposed work is to demonstrate a prototype of a feed-forward control (FFC) system for the laser powder bed process to produce higher quality AM builds. The FFC will compensate for the systemic variability arising from the statistics of the additive layer, powder bed, and thermal phenomena. The compensation will be performed in near-real time on a full set of laser pr ...

VRR’s Fused Augmented Realties with Synthetic Vision (FAR/SV) software module added on to Warfighter Augmented Reality (WAR) systems are designed to enhance situational awareness and accelerate effective decision making for Joint Terminal Attack Controllers (JTACs). FAR/SV module’s existing successful visualization innovations will be scientifically evolved for JTACs using WAR Augmented Realit ...

Orbit Logic,the University of Colorado, and the University of California are developing a hierarchical autonomous mission planning and response capability for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) to address the challenges associated with long duration operations. The research is innovating approaches to the exchange of information between collaborating vehicles enabling onboard decision-making to ...

A key problem with automated mission planning software is that their underlying domain models may be incomplete, imprecise, inaccurate, or inefficient, and may rapidly become obsolete because of evolving domains. These issues can adversely impact the quality and effectiveness of support offered by automated planning software. In this effort, we will address the planning domain knowledge acquisitio ...

Additive manufacturing is a disruptive new manufacturing paradigm that hold tremendous potential for creation of novel designs and introduction of novel new alloy systems. However, much of this potential remains unrealized due to a lack of robust material properties databases. Accurate calibration of materials models and robust part qualification and certification regimes both will require massive ...

The Internet of Things (IoT) connects people, data, and "things" (e.g., software, sensors, platforms), facilitating the translation of information into actions. Although naval platforms’ networks and communication suites have evolved significantly in the past few years to support such required connectivity, one of the greatest technical challenges still facing the military community is the proce ...

Today’s combat environment is a complex orchestration of multiple systems operated by people requiring a high degree of training to be effective. Training is both difficult and time consuming, with high demand on a small number of skilled instructors. There is a need to improve the quality of training, provide objective performance assessments, reduce the instructor workload, and increase the ef ...

Today’s Air Force missions are dependent on physically separated personnel and a complex flow of never ending data from a growing number of sources across multiple domains including cyber, FMV, GEOINT, sensor platforms, and more. Existing collaboration capabilities used to communicate, analyze, and act are disjointed, inefficient and unable to keep pace with operational demands making it im ...

AFWERX and AFGSC have entered into a MOU to run a Culture of Innovation Project throughout the entire organization for all 10 Air Force Bases over a 20 month period. The goal of this project will be to leverage and enhance the existing work within AFGSC to create innovative leaders providing safe, secure and lethal combat-ready forces for nuclear and conventional global strike today and tomorrow. ...
