Preserving mission objectives despite setbacks is paramount as space becomes more contested and congested. Satellites must be resilient such that they can respond quickly to a changing environment and continue to provide services. A key requirement for th

The USAF has identified a need to rapidly predict the safe time between the door being opened on a weapons cavity and the release of the stored device so the store does not rise back into the cavity or exit with an undesirable pitch or yaw. Computational fluid dynamic (CFD) runs for a sample problem are provided as input. This proposed effort uses unique tools and techniques developed at Stellar S ...

X-BOW had developed, built, tested and demonstrated additively manufactured solid rocket motors using direct-extrusion printing of a propellent slurry.  While the benefits of additive manufacturing solid rocket motors far outweigh the traditional “cast & pour” method, the science of buildability, repeatability, and quality are perpetually being studied.  X-BOW is extremely interested in team ...

The primary deliverable is to demonstrate the cost-effective Additive Repair of titanium airfoils on a very large Integrally Bladed Rotor, a 36-inch diameter IBR test vehicle that is 70% scale of the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) main engine IBR.  This is on

Verus Research is pleased to respond to the Air Force (AF) SBIR solicitation AF221-0007 entitled “RF System Response and Analysis”. In this solicitation, the AF is seeking “…high fidelity modeling and simulation (M&S) tools capable of evaluating system performance of an actively tracking Radio Frequency (RF) seeker system subject to High Energy Laser (HEL) irradiation…to support system a ...

For this Phase II proposal, MZA and Etegent Technologies Inc. have teamed to leverage our complementary skill sets and put together a comprehensive force emulation solution for DE systems. MZA has extensive experience in the quantification and analysis of DE aero-effects data. This includes pressure loading and finite element analysis to predict the jitter performance beam directors. Etegent Techn ...

MZA proposes to build on the conceptual design and modeling activity performed during Phase I to develop a preliminary design for a low-SWaP beam control system for general airborne directed energy applications that is optimized for line-of-sight stabiliz

Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) and Urban / Advanced Air Mobility (UAM/AAM) are rapidly emergent dual-use technology areas that will revolutionize Department of Defense (DoD) and commercial applications in areas such as delivering goods and supplies, disaster recovery and relief efforts, search and rescue, base security, air taxi services, and operations from small or unimproved areas . To enable ...

The need to preserve mission objectives despite setbacks is paramount as space becomes more contested and more congested. Satellites must be resilient such that they can respond quickly to a changing environment and continue to provide services. A key requirement for this resilience is faster detection and recovery from faults, which in turn requires a change in how faults are monitored and correc ...

The Air Force, in its 2030 Science and Technology Strategy, emphasizes the need for “a collaborative and autonomous network of systems and effects”, and “distributed sensing across domains.” Distributed, collaborative systems require complex control algorithms. Introducing autonomy requires formal guarantees of system safety and correctness in order to deploy in an assured, trustworthy fas ...
