2021 Innovation Showcase Participants
- Showcase Participants with Industry Area: Autonomy, Mobility, Space, Defense
Autonomous Space Vehicle with Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES)
An novel Autonomous Space Vehicle is propelled by contrarotating propellers and powered by Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) -- two technologies that are the subjects of ongoing SBIR programs for which American Maglev Technology (AMT) is the prime contractor.
Emergency Underwater PNT using Autonomous Surface Vehicle Constellation
We propose the creation and testing of a global (or at least theater level) precision underwater navigation system for underwater vehicles, making using of small, low-cost autonomous sailing platforms, such as the SubSeaSail, as the “ocean cube sats."
An Integrated Wide-Area UAV Aeromagnetic Survey System
A calibrated and field-tested automated wide-area unpiloted aerial vehicle (UAV) geophysical survey system that rapidly and accurately locates various magnetic anomalies, such as unexploded ordnance and abandoned oil and gas wells, over wide areas, operating in difficult terrain, dense vegetation, and a wide spectrum of weather conditions.
Miniaturized Electronic Safe & Arm Device (MESAD)
Phase 1 Miniaturized Electronic Safe & Arm Device is an innovative approach to upgrade existing inventory munition fuze systems with advanced, state-of-the-art safety features and remote operating capability, specifically designed for integration and use with loitering munitions and other unmanned C2 systems.
DuraBike
Ultra-low maintenance / high reliability mountain bike engineered for deployed environments. Features a sealed gearbox and carbon belt drivetrain. DuraBike offers "hard working bikes for hard working professionals".
CRO Personal Carry Mule: An All-Terrain Portable Robotic Mule
FoVI3D’s Carry, Roam, Observe Personal Carry Mule is a low-cost medium scale, heavy duty, all-terrain, semi/autonomous robotic mule that relieves the soldier of the need to carry much of their personal gear reducing injury and preserving health and well-being for the duration of deployments.
Offboard Launch and Recovery System for Uncrewed Platforms
A novel, self-powered system for the launch and recovery of uncrewed platforms that is operated remotely or capable of autonomous operation from a variety of host vessels.
Orion AIM Artificial Intelligence Mission System
The Orion Artificial Intelligence Mission system is a wearable high-performance AI/ML ATAK computer system, 295g FIPS 140-2 SDR, a power management module and a 169g full AI/ML nUAS. AIM was designed to process, collect and present streaming real-time data and video to warfighting edge users and headquarters simultaneously.
MOTIV: Material Online Transport Inventory Visability
Based on Navy SBIR-developed technology, MOTIV applies artificial intelligence to supply data to help logistics analysts predict where and when parts and other supply materiel will be available, and to better understand the implications of transferring materiel from one place to another.
A Fully Loaded Aerial and Data Platform for all things Unmanned
Quark has pioneered a next generation small Unmanned Aircraft System with a full suite geospatial data analysis toolkit. Quark’s first drone, named the Revenant, was engineered to fundamentally change the way humans interact with unmanned systems. It is a class leading drone in interoperability, durability, and AI capabilities.
REGENT’s Seaglider: The Next-Generation Wing-in-Ground Vehicle
REGENT’s seaglider is an all-electric hydrofoiling wing-in-ground (WIG) vehicle for high-speed, low-cost maritime mobility. Seagliders fly within a half-wingspan of the water’s surface in an aerodynamic regime called “ground effect” which doubles the range compared to electric aircraft due to increased flight efficiency and decreased reserve fuel requirements.
A large Legged Robot Capable of Operating on Unstructured Terrain with Heavy Payload
RMD has developed a large, legged robotic platform capable of operating on unstructured terrain while carrying a large payload relative to the vehicle's mass. The two prototype vehicles are able to carry 1200lbs and 3000lbs of payload, respectively. A network of real time sensors enables good off-road performance.
HAPS (High Altitude Pseudo Satellite)
High Altitude Pseudo Satellite (HAPS) is a platform flying in stratosphere for an extended period of time. HAPS can accommodate a wide range of applications and provide services complementary to satellites for a fraction of costs and serve as an individual device for telecommunication, navigation, Earth observation, and many more.
Revolutionary, autonomous, long-duration, multi-hulled sailing cargo vessel
These will represent a new generation of small, affordable, autonomous, rugged, long-duration, hard-to-find cargo vessels that are 100% energy harvesting that can deliver cargo and/or equipment (like UUVs) to locations on the coast and ocean.
Through-Barrier Wireless Power and Data Communication
SWR Technology offers a smarter way to power the AIOT world. Our patented technology enables efficient wireless power and data communication through barriers. In addition to being used in innovative automotive/commercial designs, it also provides highly reliable, maintenance-free, electrical connections for industrial/defense/space applications.
Reconfiguration with Logic Design Framework for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
This technology consists of modular drones with configurable logic design framework for customizable payload and mission specialization.
Micro Scalable Thrusters for Adaptive Mission Profiles in Space (µSTAMPS)
µSTAMPS is an electric micro-propulsion solution for Cubesats. The propellants are low melting temperature liquid salts (Ionic Liquids). The novel and proprietary design is robust and monolithic, optimized using computational methods, and easy to fabricate. It presents precise, ultrasharp, and consistent geometries that favor efficient operation and modest operating voltages.
Next generation pilot training ecosystems
Vrgineers, Inc. - company specializing in developing, manufacturing, and integrating next-generation simulation technologies with the main focus on pilot training and simulation.
