ASTRAPI CORPORATION

ASTRAPI CORPORATION​

Astrapi introduces, a new advanced secure communications technology, Symbol Waveform Hopping, which extends the near peer capability gap and will enable U.S. Warfighters to dominate Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations across all service branches and transport layers. Uniquely, Symbol Waveform Hopping uses the signal-to-noise power ratio making it impossible for an adversary to determine the time-amplitude values transmitted. Astrapi’s mission is to license Symbol Waveform Hopping into the Software Defined Radios that support these congested and contested networks.

Astrapi is also developing a Non-stationary Software Spectrum Analyzer that provides a more pristine view into the electromagnetic spectrum, including at, or below, the noise floor. The software-based analyzer may be deployed at the operational edge in handheld and portable devices on the ground, air or space. The TRL 6 analyzer provides a 10X more precise frequency, and dynamic resolution improving situational awareness enabling U.S. Warfighters to dominate Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations.

BUCKEYE PHOTONICS

BUCKEYE PHOTONICS

Buckeye Photonic’s optical true-time delay (OTTD) device for steering wide-band phased array antenna beams has the lowest SWaP of any known approach. TTD is the only way to steer ultra-wideband RF signals over a wide field of view without beam squint. In OTTD, RF signals for each antenna in the array are modulated onto a laser beam. Beams circulate in the same volume of air, an array of movable micromirrors on a chip directs optical beams independently into paths of varying lengths. Our free-space optical technology is future-proof; our approach will be used in network infrastructure and applications that require massive bandwidth for the foreseeable future.

IRONSTAR ENGINEERING

IRONSTAR ENGINEERING

PRRISM (Platform for Redirecting and Removing Inert Space Material) is a unique and patented system utilizing an antenna generated electromagnetic (EM) wave that interacts with a solar EM wave (solar wind). The purpose is to streamline the magnetic flux and to facilitate the flow of solar plasma through the Polar Cusp (PC), causing an increased density, velocity, and pressure at the Polar Cusp exit. The elevated plasma flow intercepts and removes small space debris from near earth orbits.

KAYHAN SPACE

KAYHAN SPACE

With the expected 10x increase in the number of resident space objects in this decade, keeping a 24/7 custody chain of these objects will quickly become an intractable task. Adversary satellites can now “hide” inside a constellation of thousands. By the time an adversary object moves in orbit, it is already too late. Our proven technology uses Machine Learning (ML) to extract insight from large amounts of physics-based and non-physics-based data to predict a space object’s “intent” BEFORE that object moves or even launches. This will enhance the U.S. space forces U.S. space domain awareness and saves considerable amounts of time and money in the collection of such intelligence. The U.S. space forces will already be there, before our adversaries’ intended actions.

SPACE ENVIRONMENT TECHNOLOGIES

SPACE ENVIRONMENT TECHNOLOGIES

Radiation exposure is a hazard for aircrew, high-altitude pilots, frequent flyers, and space travelers from the Earth's surface up to altitudes beyond Low Earth Orbit (LEO). A global, operationally real-time radiation weather monitoring and forecasting system is crucially needed since multiple ionizing radiation sources can cause adverse health effects, including cancer. RadWeather provides a decision-aid tool to air and space traffic management for selecting alternatives that reduce radiation exposure hazards. It provides Technology Readiness Level 8 information from measurements combined with data assimilative models, along with cloud-based server systems, to address agency requirements for ionizing radiation mitigation.

SPRY SQUARED, INC.

SPRY SQUARED, INC.

Firmware, and hardware roots-of-trust, is the new battlefield. Firmware sits below the OS and driver layers, controlling functions above it like a master puppeteer.  When compromised, firmware can wreak havoc on any system, potentially shutting down operations or taking out critical infrastructure. Every server, storage device, router, workstation, printer, VoIP Phone, cell phone, SCADA, IT, IoT, and OT devices (don’t forget cars, trucks, buses, UAV’s, etc.) is currently vulnerable to attack without detection. Fifty percent of the code on your network is not monitored by a single established security tool available today. Your supply chain, which is predominantly foreign, can and has been compromised at the factory and you will never know it until it is too late.
