This is an online event with no cost to register at: https://www.uascluster.com/uasci/reg.nsf/register?open&set=ltbt and attend.

As an entrepreneur or small business owner, you already know that staying up-to-date with the latest technologies is key to staying competitive. That is where Federal Lab and DOD advanced manufacturing technologies come in. If you're looking for opportunities to improve your structure design and capabilities, these cutting-edge technologies have applications in aerospace, and they show current advances that can help you take your business to the next level.

We also understand that you might already be working with a preferred manufacturing partner and supplier, we encourage you to forward them this information and registration. They can also benefit from attending this free online event.

We understand that in today's economy, every penny counts. That's why we're committed to helping entrepreneurs and small businesses thrive by offering FREE access to this showcase event. So don't miss out on this opportunity! Register today to secure your spot and gain access to the latest and greatest in DOD research on Autonomous Agents, Swarm Technologies, and Advanced Manufacturing Technologies.

    Technologies to be presented include:
  1. Autonomous Agents to efficiently manage scheduling and tasks across a group of autonomous vehicles or service agents, such as UAVs or UUVs. Technology can be scaled for any number of service and transport agents.
  2. System for individual autonomous agents or vehicles to resolve task and schedule conflicts while preserving goals and objectives of fleet.
  3. Counter swarm interception with self-organizing, sacrificial UAV's.
  4. An additive manufacturing system and method that includes real-time, in- process monitoring and measurement for quality managementof additive manufacturing (AM) operations.
  5. Improved Slicer algorithms for structure design, strength and stiffness of 3D printing.
  6. Manufacturing process to generate foams made from amorphous hollow spheres to build cellular structures that are lightweight, high-strength and stiffness, and shock absorbing. Also buoyant.
  7. Method of manufacturing a composite part that is toughened and self-healing without introducing additional weight.

TechLink will also provide information on how they can support you in licensing existing DOD technologies or collaborating with DOD labs to co-develop new technologies.

Participate in the Tribal Emerging Aerospace Growth Accelerator (TEAGA).

UASCI is working with ecosystem partners to bring opportunities to traditionally underserved tribal nations. Through the creation of the Tribal Emerging Aerospace Growth Accelerator (TEAGA), tribal nations can create a cohesive strategy to capitalize on the rapidly growing emerging aerospace industry. By forging new alliances across industry, academia, and small business support organizations, the partnership can build bridges for tribal members to participate in new and exciting ways.

UASCI is seeking tribal and entrepreneurial support partners to help catalyze this important work. If you'd like to be involved, please contact Emily Bell at ebell@dcnteam.com.
