DoD stakeholders are distributed across a multitude of siloed computer networks.  Currently, there is no efficient way to access essential contact information for POCs in different computer network silos – which is a major limiting factor to coordinating Joint All Domain operations.  To solve this problem, Orgo is developing a visual interagency org chart map and directory to enable rapid inte ...

Canopy Aerospace proposes to strengthen the U.S. industrial base for high-temperature thermal protection system (TPS) materials through the development of a multi-material thermal spray coating system that can dramatically increase throughput while minimizing scrap rates regardless of geometrical complexity. Coating application represents a critical bottleneck within reusable and single-use TPS co ...

IO’s CBAM technology can scale to speeds competitive with the world’s fastest manufacturing technologies (e.g., injection molding), while retaining high tolerance, industry-leading material properties, and all of the incredible benefits of 3D printing (e.g., no tooling costs, immediate manufacturability, much greater design flexibility, etc.).  This is not just theoretical.  IO has already p ...

Ignition devices for defense applications are often one-shot pyrotechnic safety devices. Reusable scramjet or ramjet systems instead require indefinite reliable ignition cycles. Storage of hypergolic or non-standard resources is an option, yet long-term storage, replenishment, and complexity must be weighed against the relative simplicity and elegance of using existing on-board resources, such as ...

A critical need for fast response event-based visible wavelength and infrared (IR) cameras involving many Air Force and Space Force stakeholders as well as prime contractor companies has been identified. The current event-based camera technologies suffer from long latency and low array utilization rate, which makes them not suitable for many defense applications with dynamic scenes and requirement ...

    There is growing interest in the space industry for the design and application of space architectures that can satisfy multiple mission profiles. Contemporary satellite systems exhibit substantial inefficiencies in the long term, owing chiefly to the difficulty of repairing/modifying the architectures once on orbit. A more modularized design enables the architecture to reuse core subsystems ...

The Air Force desires low C-SWAP photonic chips for LiDAR ranging at 2 um. Significant investments have been made by AFRL into LIDAR systems based on discrete, large-scale components. However, the existing Air Force solution is a bulky off-chip detector c

In this project, Arktonics proposes to develop monolithically integrated high-performance (Si)GeSn lasers by using the novel aspect ratio trapping (ART) growth technology. The proposed transformative laser architecture is expected to fundamentally address the long-standing challenges of the missing high-performance light emitter to complete the whole suite of Si-photonics to enable many new applic ...

Team S2RC is proposing a multi-modal HMI approach to Just-in-time, Multi-mission airmen/warfighters (JITMMA/W) user and technology interfaces. The multi-modal HMI will need to address Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), tablets, smart phones, an

Infrared (IR) imaging technology is crucial to the success of the US military by providing critical functionality and strategic advantages. IR systems provide vital battlespace information for human and machine consumption. The Air Force needs tactical imaging solutions for attritable airframes that add capabilities for air-to-ground missions while maintaining a size, weight, power, and cost (SWAP ...
