CBC’s HIPS solution is a low-profile, omni-directional wind turbine that can be rapidly deployed and safely emplaced anywhere on an Agile Combat Employment (ACE) airfield without risking aircraft collisions, disrupting radar, nor requiring re-deployment to face the wind. The HIPS makes wind safe, practical, and scalable in ways that traditional wind energy is not.  CBC will conduct an R/R&D fea ...

Leveraging advanced cyber physical system (CPS) and clustering machine learning can crosscheck the signal in Air Force Internet of Things (IoT) systems increasing accuracy, trust, and mission readiness. Inaccurate signals cause false alarms which dimmish trust in IoT systems and can cause service members to ignore warning systems. Cross-validation of alerts can substantially increase the accuracy ...

The overall goal of this multiphase STTR program is to develop a pulsed source of high purity entangled photons suitable for use at the Air Force’s Starfire free space optical range to support advances in free space quantum networking hardware and protoco

The overall goal of this multiphase STTR program is to develop fully packaged waveguide-based biphoton sources with high brightness and ultra-high, well characterized heralding efficiency. The specific goal of this phase I STTR is to establish the feasibi

  Mission success in contingency operations depends on communication and Beartooth Radio provides a solution when traditional comms are degraded; saving lives by reducing much-needed time battle-tracking friendlies and engaging the enemy when and where it

ThermoAI will develop a complete Software Suite that integrates with industrial control systems on USAF energy systems through a graphical user interface (GUI). With this software, service members can visualize trends in historical data, run in-silico exp

In 2021, roughly 200,000 veteran medical records were stolen through ransomware cybersecurity attacks.  Combine this with the recent events in September of 2022, where two military doctors were indicted for conspiring to leak medical records to Russia and

BTech proposes a directional hydrophone for acoustic noise measurements for various host platforms including floats, gliders, and observation buoys. The BTech design is provided in Phase I report including sensing concept and configuration, mechanical packing, power consumption, communication interfaces, sensor (re)calibration methodology, algorithms to extract the information content of the ocean ...

The national imperative to field hypersonic weapon systems has increased the demand for robust, lightweight, and affordable high temperature materials for thermal protection systems.  Refractory composites such as carbon-carbon (C/C) or carbon/SiC (C/SiC) offer enormous promise, but wider-scale acceptance continues to be hindered by certain technical and affordability limitations.  Key among the ...

Despite a large and growing set of available data sources across many domains, identifying and tracking developing threats in operational domains remains a critical unsolved problem. Extraction of relevant threat information and correlation across multiple modalities is required to take full advantage of the data available. VSI proposes TALON, a system for leveraging natural language descriptions ...
