Self-contained “RApidly Deployable computer numerical control (CNC) AM–modular container building (MCB) (RAD2 CAM-MCB)” with field of view (FOV) capabilities to bring unprecedented additive manufacturing (AM) capability to front-line munitions personnel,

The Air Force needs new, innovative small engine technology to provide propulsion for small unmanned aerial systems (SUAS). Improved propulsion technology is needed to support Group 2 and Group 3 UAS for DoD’s global Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions. Innovative propulsion technology is needed that provides quiet operation, increased specific power, improved specific f ...

Moving targets are used to provide air-to-surface target training for Air Force aircrew.  However, the traditional training systems suffer from several drawbacks, including unrealistic training conditions, expensive set-up, not readily available for regul

TayCo Brace, Inc, has pioneered the TayCo External Ankle Brace (EAB) to solve the military’s ankle bracing needs. Born from real-life experience treating injured collegiate athletes, the TayCo EAB is a pre-fabricated, custom-fitted, lightweight, functiona

Our team has produced composite thin films with the highest reported tensile strengths.  These films have been produced using roll-to-roll manufacturing techniques that can be adapted to current manufacturing lines. Small amounts of thermally reduced graphene oxide (tr-GO) particles (1% by wt) can be added to a ultra high molecular weight polyethylene matrix to produce thin films with tensile str ...

Numerous government agencies and commercial organizations are dependent on mission critical ecosystems (i.e. federated systems of systems [SoS]). Integration, testing, and certification (IT&C) of these ecosystems are required before fielding production ready systems. These activities are time consuming and costly, ultimately inhibiting the ability to rapidly update these systems. Additionally, sy ...

Integer Technologies LLC proposes to develop a set of operational digital twins that run in parallel both onboard and offboard an unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) called the Remote Operational Monitoring Unit Leveraging UUV Simulation, or “ROMULUS.” ROMULUS is designed to provide the UUV Operator with continuous high-fidelity situational awareness of what their UUVs are doing, even during tim ...

All solid-state welding methods employ some variation of heat and deformation to accomplish bonding. Heat and deformation are key to bringing working surfaces into intimate contact, displacing surface oxide-based contaminants, and allowing solid state bonding of the substrates. Friction welding methods accomplish this through relative motion of the materials under force. Implicit in traditional fr ...

Congress and DoD recognize that small businesses are critical to the US economy and our national defense. Yet DoD spends an astonishing 31.7% of its contracting budget with just 5 large defense contractors and over 63% with the top 100 defense contractors. There are 10M plus small businesses in the US. DoD engages only a tiny percentage of them. Unfortunately, there presently is no effective way f ...

​​​​​​Ripple Two, with the Air Force’s 724th STG, the premiere AFSOC ground component, developed communication solutions integrated with standard issue ATAK devices and headsets to enable screen sharing and voice communications over an encrypted and self-
