The proposed effort will employ an array of broadband (W band) antennas, integrated with high-speed (subnanosecond) GaN HEMTs in an array, to detect potential threats to military personnel. The system will be low SWaP, low-cost, and will detect a NETD of 3 degrees or less, from at least 15 meters, with a pixel resolution of < 10 cm. Millimeter wave imaging has been shown to be a useful tool in the ...

Implementation of machine learning/artificial intelligence (ML/AI) in the nondestructive inspection (NDI) field is in nascent stages and significant trust in this technology for assisted defect analysis (ADA) is not established.  One reason is the lack of

Grinding and sanding are critical processes for many manufacturers, especially in aerospace. Solution are desired that combine the flexibility and agility of a manual process with the repeatability and safety of a robotic system. One of the robotic instal

Lunar Resources propose to Orbital Prime Phase II solicitation the “Removal, Recycling and Reconstitution of Orbital Debris Enabled by Welding in Space” (RODEWIS) project to mature, characterize and perform ground demonstrations of metal joining and weldi

US peer adversaries are employing sophisticated electronic warfare and space-based weapons to deny navigation and communication signals across broad geographic areas that inhibit UAS navigation and C2 capabilities, negating the DoD's competitive advantage

The defense technology community spends a lot of time grumbling about the “Valley of Death,” a term referring to the place where innovative technologies funded by the Defense Department fail to make it into warfighters’ hands because they can’t make the transition from prototype to a real product. The Air Force Requirements and POM workflow was designed by Robert McNamara in the 1960s.  I ...

Adversarial threats to Air Force operations at forward bases can deny U.S. power projection, overwhelm traditional defense designs, impose prohibitive losses and lead to joint mission failure.  To address these challenges, Agile Combat Employment (ACE) shifts operations from centralized physical infrastructures to a network of smaller, more flexible, and dispersed locations or cluster bases.  Fi ...

It is highly Scalable Single 1U sever Software Solution enabling both real-time automated defensive mitigation and resolution, as well as offensive deception at the edge, at affordable prices.

The DAF aims at providing the fullest possible accounting of currently missing service members to return them to their families and to the nation. However, traditional forensic methods, alone, cannot address this backlog of unidentified human remains. Moreover, many of these remains have highly degraded and damaged DNA, contaminated with bacteria, or extremely low in human DNA quantity. The Air Fo ...
