Aircraft Availability (AA) is a chief concern for the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC).This issue was stressed by Lt. Gen. Shaun Morris, Commander of AFLCMC, in his address at the Robins AFB Requirements Symposium in March 2023. He expresse

Since the advent of cargo lifting operations suspended load motion control has traditionally been compensated for by use of tag lines via tag line handlers. The use of tag lines is inherently dangerous as they require people to be near the location of a moving load, in often hazardous settings. The fundamental problem of suspended load control exists for both crane and aircraft lifting operations. ...

The broader/commercial impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is the creation of a dynamic geospatial database that can be mined to further develop precision models of soil moisture and farm productivity that will aid small- to medium-sized farms. These farms cover almost 75% of the operating farmland in the U.S. Large companies in the agriculture industry benefit ...

Summary This SBIR Phase I project is focused on the design, development, and testing of groundbreaking engineered point spread function (ePSF) objective lenses, and matched computational algorithms for spatial omics research and development, which will be suitable for fixed and live-cell applications and will enable breakthroughs in fast live-cell spatial omics RandD by increasing the depth of fie ...

The project aims to create a framework for real-time wearable sensor analysis that can be used to monitor warfighter health and readiness. There are two parts to the work: Framework and Model. The framework will be built on a smartphone and provides the flexibility to add any number of Bluetooth Low Energy wearable sensors and/or internal smartphone sensors while maintaining low energy consumption ...

Current solutions for cislunar navigation face extensive challenges including the cost of building and deploying the infrastructure, limited and specific site locations on orbits to provide maximum coverage, the cost and complexity of maintain these orbit

The goal of this SBIR is to develop an automated HF communications planner that enables legacy and future systems to leverage real-time ionospheric propagation information and high-fidelity prediction data. This will make HF communications easy, automated, and mission capable. In the proposed Phase II Base effort, we will focus on refining and integrating our automated HF communications planning c ...

The Department of the Navy (DON) has a national security related need for highly compactible deployable structures for air-deployed canister sonobuoys. These systems must stow compactly within the confines of a A-type sonobuoy canister, deploy and position a volumetric array of sensor nodes that acoustically detect submarine engine noise. As submarines continue to reduce noise outputs to enhance s ...

The HPDM-30 is a ultra high power density 30kW integrated motor drive (IMD) for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and Small Aircraft Electric Propulsion. It combines the motor and inverter into a single unit and utilizes the same advanced core technology developed for H3X's flagship product, the HPDM-250. H3X is targeting a combined motor/inverter efficiency of 93% and a continuous specific power of 1 ...

The United States Marine Corps seeks new and improved one-way luminescence (OWL) tracer technology for high velocity (HV), medium velocity (MV), and low velocity (LV) 40 mm ammunition, including high explosive and practice rounds.  OWL is desired to give warfighters the ability to visually follow the trajectory of the ammunition as it approaches the target (without exposing their position to the ...
