  Momentous seeks to deliver a joint health intervention designed specifically for female military servicemembers. It maximizes the benefit of collagen and vitamin C for injury reduction with novel additionals to limit increased injury risk due to the physiological impacsex-specificcific hormones. This effort will adapt the composition of Momentous Collagen Shot, a leading collagen product, to me ...

The Air Force has a vital and urgent defense mission need for rapidly detecting and tracking objects in beyond LEO to GEO and cislunar orbits to meet real-time requirements and match mounting threats from near-peer adversaries like China and Russia. This xGEO space domain awareness (SDA) is absolutely necessary in order to report where objects are in space and understanding why they are there. Tra ...

The Traverse Team is leveraging advances in Machine Learning-enabled computer vision to provide higher fidelity scans than that of traditional photogrammetry methods. This technique, called Neural Radiance Fields or NeRFs, has been rapidly transforming the 3D image capture space and could revolutionize the speed and accuracy of 3D asset and scene generation. Traverse and Brown University will exte ...

This study focuses on the design of a satellite that utilizes air-scooping electric thruster (ASET) technology. ASET technology operates by ingesting rarefied atmospheric air at Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) altitudes, between 200-300 km, and feeding this collected air to a plasma thruster. Viridian’s (patent-pending) technology has been shown by analysis and numerical simulation to enable a vi ...

In contested and challenging environments, visual line of sight to intruder or target ground vehicles is restricted for ground based tracker vehicles equipped with EO sensors. Under such conditions, aerial support provides an abundance of information as the intruding vehicles can be efficiently identified and tracked from above accurately. However, there are certain difficulties with this approach ...

The HH-60G Pavehawk is the air vehicle of choice for Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) missions but is outdated and does not provide the capabilities necessary for a fight in the Pacific. “Military leaders have been concerned for more than a decade that their current dedicated CSAR helicopter, the HH-60G, does not have all of capabilities needed for the mission. It had deficiencies in speed, range ...

Sparta Science provides a movement health intelligence platform that can quickly measure human movement capabilities with research-grade hardware combined with ML/AI technology. The Sparta Movement Health Platform (SMHP) provides individuals, medical professionals, performance practitioners, and their organizations with the data, insights, and functionality to support clinical and operational deci ...

AtomBeam proposes to incorporate a significant modification to its Compaction product, called count sketch, to enable Compaction to encode LiDAR data from UAS as well as other data streams. Compaction in its current release is capable of encoding most typical UAS data, other than video. AtomBeam’s process entails building Codebooks from representative sample datasets using machine learning. Code ...
