HOW THE PROCESS WORKS: APEX has anonymized the information below due to the competitive nature of the solicitations and proposal environment. If you find an interest, please contact Michael Bianco using the input form below. Include the APEX assigned number or list of numbers to which you want to be introduced. The table columns designate whether the organization seeking a partner is a company or a university and the kind of organization sought for a partnership. The table also includes a technology description of what the advertising organization brings to the table (technology brought) and what the advertising organization seeks in a partner (technology sought) as well as the technical competencies of the desired partner. Once you respond with the APEX assigned number(s) you are interested in meeting, we will review the request with the researcher seeking a partner and get their approval to release additional information to both parties and connect the two of you to explore a collaboration. Once we connect parties, we leave it up to you to discuss if interests, objectives, and capabilities are aligned.

Support mobile app and backend platform, serves as an engagement solution to address mental health and work-life balance disparities in a company and within individual wellness. S.T.A.R. app empowers users to have the freedom to understand their mental health in a 100% confidential, anonymous, and safe space. At the same time, the platform provides anonymous data for an organization to understand their people's overall well-being and work-life balance. The S.T.A.R. app uses a combination of cognitive-behavioral therapy and cognitive processing therapy techniques. These approaches help to address common effects of exposure to stress and trauma. The app provides an effective way to begin to understand how to manage your stress response. | Expertise in data mining | Big Data, Data Analytics, Human Performance, Mental Health | Air Force, Space Force, Army, Navy, DoD Other (DARPA, DLA, USSOCOM, etc.), Non-DoD (Dept. of Energy, NASA, NSF, etc.) |

| 73 | Small Business | Both small business and/or research institute | We have developed an alternative combustion engine propulsion system for civil and military aircraft, as well as other mission critical applications, requiring between 135-400KW. Our engine design significantly reduces operating cost and emissions compared to existing aircraft piston engines, reduces both combustion and noise emissions, is digitally controlled with ability to interface with multiple platforms, and can consume multiple fuel types. Our prototype engine has completed secondary flight testing on a Cessna civilian aircraft and indicates considerable potential to meet multiple platforms. Our design and manufacturing model allows for quick and less expensive R&D of new applications as well as faster times to manufacturing ability. We are currently working on expanding to hybrid engine technologies focused on UAV applications. Our in-house capabilities include aircraft application prototyping, electronic engine control and software development, flight and ground testing programs, and regulatory documentation. | Seeking partners experienced with the capacity to develop more efficient quieter propeller designs and produce prototypes for flight testing, develop and perform structural analysis verification models for FAA or EASA civilian aircraft certification regulations, develop and perform mission critical software analysis and verification (such as ACR DO 178 or other similar mission critical basis), lowering combustion emissions compatible with aircraft weight and aerodynamic drag limitations, applications of lighter composite materials incorporated into engine design, and experience with FAA certification of part 23 aircraft and STC process. | Aviation Power Systems, Flight Control, Power Generation, UAS, Aircraft, Aero design | Air Force, Space Force, Army, Navy, DoD Other (DARPA, DLA, USSOCOM, etc.), Non-DoD (Dept. of Energy, NASA, NSF, etc.) |

| 89 | Small Business | Both small business and/or research institute | We have developed and patented a vision system suitable for landing an autonomous flying drone on a heaving/rolling ship or docking an autonomous space vehicle with an orbital target. This system can determine the 3D position and attitude of a target relative to the observing system at high bandwidth (100 Hz or more). The system does not use image analysis and the computing demands are low enough to support onboard computation. We have operational optical detectors suitable for this application. | This vision system is a front-end to a drone navigation control system. We are looking for a partner to help us develop the software and build a proof-of-concept system that is ready to integrate into an autonomous vehicle.
