Rapid Automatic Image Categorization (RAIC; “rake”), software developed for commercial use, analyzes large unstructured multidimensional datasets such as earth-observation (EO) imagery, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), and other multi-spectral datasets in minutes and then enables ad hoc labeling, searching, and anomaly detection in seconds. We have built a user interface (UI) on top of RAIC, wh ...

WiscLift presents an emerging disruptive network technology based on Spooky Action's Telelift Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV).  By providing a stand-alone flying platform, a flexible dynamic network can provide secure and resilient C4I capabilities to operators in the field.  WiscLift provides the turn-key customized solution for commercial customer programs in the same manner the Dragonfly progra ...

Badger Technology is proposing an innovative Hybrid Energy Storage Solution to optimize microgrids for military operations.  HESS includes hybrid storage (SHAD®) and energy management (InMS®) technologies to embrace power electronics, integrated hardware/software, control algorithms and customized energy storage. Electrical power grids are undergoing substantial structural and operational chan ...

Two main objectives in the USAF’s 2030 Science and Technology strategy are the ability to marshal complexity, unpredictability and mass into operational areas and a need for speed and reach of disruption and lethality.  Towards these efforts, and in order

The Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC) has developed the Protected Tactical Waveform (PTW), which will run over the military Wideband Global SATCOM (WGS) communications satellites. There is a need for technologies to improve SATCOM link resilience, th

In support of the AF CBM+ effort, the AFRSO is seeking to develop an Ideal Work Unit Code Tool (IWUCT). This tool would support the maintenance forms (AFTO Form 781A) Quality Control process by reading narrative and other useful fields such as How Malfunc

Space Force’s anti-jam modems, like A3M/PTW mitigate the effects of jamming on tactical communications networks. However, there remains a need for technologies to improve SATCOM link resilience and throughput while reduce SWaP, especially for mobile and l

In response to the solicitation AF19B-T002, CompuTherm proposes a pilot project aiming at accelerated discovery and development of refractory complex concentrated alloys (RCCAs) for high temperature applications beyond nickel-based superalloys and conventional refractory alloys. The major challenge in developing RCCAs with superior properties is to identify the promising candidates from the enormo ...

The objective of this proposal is to create an ATAK plugin leveraging SmartCam3D®, an augmented reality software providing geographically-relevant overlays on live video, to enhance situational awareness and create a collaborative, augmented reality, common operating picture among mission participants viewing real-time, airborne video. The utilization of a SmartCam3D® ATAK plugin provides th ...

  The Air Force operates in extremely challenging environments worldwide.  Currently, private sector architects and engineers are building cost-effective NetZero buildings for private clients.  The Air Force needs to invest in demonstration projects of these private-sector technologies to evaluate their performance in the field under extreme conditions.  Passive ultra-high-performance building ...
