Due to the limitations of traditional manufacturing, vehicle design has required that components of all kinds are separate pieces.  Electronics is no exception.  Today, vehicle electronics are typically consolidated into one or two places and sensors are so expensive that they are only used where they are critical. IO’s 3D-printing process can allow for decentralized electronics designs that a ...

Assured Space Access Inc (ASAI) has developed a small scale ground based RF sensor solution that utilizes a Conformal Patch Array Luneburg Lens (CPALL) devices to covertly detect and track resident space objects in Low Earth Orbit as small as 1cm in size.

The overall goal of the program is to develop a test facility for laser-guided adaptive optics instruments that supports multiple simulated sodium and Rayleigh laser guide stars (LGS) as well as natural guide star (NGS) analogs, all in a configurable arrangement to allow exploration of arbitrary constellations of beacons of any of these types. The facility will also include a 3D analog of atmosphe ...

Abstract: Polaris Aero’s Aviation Safety Intelligence Platform   More than 6,000 U.S. non-combat military aviation mishaps occurred between 2013 and 2018, claiming the lives of 198 people and costing more than $9 billion in damages, including 157 destroye

SmartFuel enhances the Air Force's ability identify fuel parameters and control current amount of stored fuel in real-time. This system monitors fuel degradation, potential additives, unwanted changes due to environment conditions or tampering and maintai

Impossible Objects (IO) has a fundamentally new approach to Additive Manufacturing (AM) called Composite Based Additive Manufacturing (CBAM). CBAM uses well-developed 2D-printing techniques to do 3D printing, which makes it more flexible in both speed and

 To accommodate increasing performance and sensitivity requirements in semiconductor heterostructures, Nonlinear Control Strategies (NLCS) proposes to adapt and extend its commercially established core SimuLase semiconductor epitaxy design software into a

Fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have surfaced into the environment and are substances of concern subject to strict regulatory and scientific scrutiny.  Migration from contaminated soils into groundwater, as well as stormwater runoff into surface waters, has

Most of the COTS connectors are constructed from molded plastic (LC and MTP/MPO) and will not survive static drop, mechanical shock, random/constant vibration, constant acceleration and/or thermal shock/cycling. In the space environments (alternate applic

Overtone Inc. is building a graph intelligence platform that leverages machine learning and graph technology on disparate data streams and sensors to generate real-time contextual intelligence for the purpose of building or enabling the adoption of digita
