Switches and routers, which are often combined into a single, physical device to reduce size, weight, and power (SWaP), are the technology that underpins all modern tactical communications. The Air Force needs rugged switch/router devices that can withstand the extreme environmental demands of military aircraft and that meet Department of Defense (DoD) information assurance (IA) requirements.   A ...

BrainGu’s Structsure DSO Platform creates a sustainable common environment that enables operator-driven mission application development from concept to combat. While the USAF, working with industry, has smoothed out many of the challenges of Day 0 through Day 1 Operations, most software factories are still struggling with maturity in their Day 2 Operations. Structsure brings the Day 2 operations ...

sci_Zone and Johns Hopkins University are proposing QuickSAT/VMS and SHERLOCK-MD, a system for Vehicle Health Management, vehicle inspection-sensing-characterization, and Fault Detection with Fault Classification Functions. QuickSAT/VMS, a flight proven e

Effective verbal communication is crucial to Air Force mission success. Pilots must communicate with controllers on the ground throughout their flights and with each other, ground-based Control and Reporting Centers (CRCs) must communicate theater-wide for battle management, and the Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) E-3A/D requires communication across the Flight, Mission, Surveillance, ...

The GLSV and MTU team are proposing a novel acoustic method using carbon nanotube (CNT) thin film as a thermophone embedded into the tip and trailing edge of advanced unmanned aerial vehicles to actively reduce propeller noise.  The of CNT thermophones in active noise cancellation has been demonstrated by the team in engine exhaust applications as well as fan applications to date.  The applicati ...

A Gaussian-Pareto Overbounding (GPO) software toolset will be developed for the verification and validation (V&V) of safety-critical Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) sensors, including Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC) and Collision Avoidance Systems (CAS) sensors using time- and data-efficient overbounding solutions. V&V remains a critical attribute of safe operation within active airspace for ...

The Agility Prime Air Vehicle requires a distributed propulsion control system.  New Eagle proposes a hierarchical control system using the Rugged UAS control components of Raptor™ Open Architecture system and Control Algorithms developed in partnership with Georgia Tech. The proposed hierarchical architecture allows for advanced flight control and diagnostics safety functions in flight man ...

Grey Street Systems (GSS) elevates information delivery, exchange, communications and decision-making through customized and/or integrated systems that translate into scalable, responsive, modular system designs for traditional display systems, heads-up-displays (HUD) and augmented reality (AR) projection interfaces utilizing ML and/or AI engines to rapidly assemble relevant, real-time, situation- ...

Operational security cannot be understated.  The ever-changing face of warfare, particularly in frequent adversarial transition from state to non-state actors has required continual growth in the way our U.S. military approaches conflicts.  With increasing regularity, our front-line teams courageously enter tactical situations that have greater and greater strategic outcomes.    To that point ...

Solar Roadways is a modular intelligent infrastructure product which opens up a whole new market for the solar industry, allowing the generation of clean, renewable energy on roadways and any other surface that can be walked or driven upon. This includes parking lots, sidewalks, driveways, tarmacs, parade grounds, bike paths, playgrounds, sports courts, helipads, etc. This eliminates the need for ...
