Award Data

The Air Force has a vital and urgent defense mission need for hypersonic testing and technology maturation to meet real-time requirements and match mounting threats from near-peer adversaries like China and Russia. Longshot’s hypersonic accelerator will provide warfighters with a low-cost, rapid solution for hypersonic testing, missile defense, and space launch. Longshot will provide the Air For ...

Scalvy proposes to replace existing heavy, single-point-failure-prone electric motor powertrains (e-powertrains) with multiple smaller units that each perform all the tasks of standard e-powertrains. These independent but interoperable units will increase battery efficiency, add redundancy and safety, and simplify supply lines. The aim of this Phase I is to form collaborative partnerships with com ...

Over the past 20 years, more than 200 US defense forces have been injured as a result of terror attacks. DoD, DAF and USSF, personnel, facilities, and materials are potential targets for attack by terrorists, and this threat continues to grow with the current global security environment. In an age of rapidly advancing technology and threats at home and abroad the AF must find innovative solutions ...

MightyFly designs and develops fleets of agile, efficient and resilient long-range, high-speed, large autonomous cargo aircraft with 100 pounds and 500 pounds of cargo capacity, range of 600 miles and speed of 150 mph. The aircraft are hybrid-eVTOL (electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing), fixed-wing, with the ability to perform multiple deliveries per fuel tank. With hybrid propulsion, the aircra ...

The focus of this proposal is to perform a feasibility study by researching our technological solution of synthetic DNA for possible use cases across the Air Force regarding firearms tracking.  We will engage Air Force stakeholders to identify the equipment/ firearm types, locations, and biggest needs for the USAF to track firearms and potentially larger weapons and munitions. We will start by en ...

Momentum Optics has developed an advanced manufacturing technology that leverages recent breakthroughs in high-power Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR) lasers, machine learning, and computational metrology to machine optical components about an order of magnitude faster and less expensively than currently possible while, in many cases, exceeding state-of-the-art performance. The patented technology uses T ...

Black Swift Technologies (BST) has technology that can leverage sensors on small unmanned aerial systems (UAS) to measure and map out soil moisture data. This data is critical to USAF warfighters who fly in unconventional locations and require high resolution and timely soil moisture data to de-risk landing operations globally.

As the Department of Defense and the Air Force continue to invest in next generation hypersonic aircraft, advanced sensors, and novel 5G/IoT electronics, there is a need for novel antennas and surface materials that are resilient to the harsh environments of hypersonic speeds, while maintaining communications with satellites, other aircraft, GPS, and weapons systems. Future Next Generation Air Dom ...

We propose  a multiple camera/sensor system combining narrow and wide field of view, plus advanced image processing for rad hard/tolerant applications in LEO, GEO, MEO, HEO, and cislunar.

ARMS Cyber will conduct applied research and development through creation of a feasibility study with Space Delta 6 to establish the feasibility of modifications needed to adapt the core technology to fit the End-User's mission.  ARMS Cyber will conduct a systematic study of the Phalanx solution to determine 1) the architecture and operating system of target systems, 2) the performance and memor ...
