AEXA Aerospace has contracted to redesign the Electronic Warfare PTS on the B-52. 

AEXA Aerospace has contracted with the Cyber Innovation Center to redesign the Electronic Warfare Pressure Test Set on the B-52.

AEXA Aerospace will redesign equipment that sustains America’s deterrence.
AEXA Aerospace, a company that provides solutions for training and operational support, will produce a prototype to update the Electronic Warfare PTS.
The EWPTS is used to test the defense system of the B-52 aircraft under the Air Force Global Strike Command AFSTRAT-AIR. Air Force Global Strike Command is a Major Command of the United States Air Force, headquartered at Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana. AFGSC provides combat-ready forces to conduct strategic nuclear deterrence and global strike operations in support of combatant commanders. The command is seeking to update the current equipment as its underperformance affects crew safety and mission fleet availability.
“As innovators at AEXA, we recognized the innovative approach of STRIKEWERX’s novel methods to quickly solve challenges faced by the Air Force Global Strike Command using new pathways to seek the best solution from the industry,” said Dr. Fernando De La Peña Llaca, president and CEO of AEXA Aerospace. “I’m impressed and ready to deliver our innovative prototype in a couple of months.”
The current EWPTS increases maintenance time by 200–300% and repairing faulty test sets require up to six hours with a less-than 40% success rate.
“The CIC tackling the PTS redesign and rebuild is quite the feat, seeing as this test set has been a problem over the years and is a rather important piece of test equipment to further propel our B-52 platform in the foreseeable future,” said Master Sgt. Justin Countryman, project champion for the EWPTS.
This effort between CIC, STRIKEWERX and AEXA Aerospace aims to produce a portable design that is easier to repair, easier to use in diagnosing equipment failure and allows for greater availability in extreme weather.

JSC Director’s Innovation Group Achievement Award 2022

The Holographic teleportation team received NASA’s JSC Director’s Innovation group for their outstanding vision and execution of their holographic teleportation technology on the International Space Station.

HoloConnect

On a momentous day in 2021, a group of pioneers made history by crossing the final frontier. They were not astronauts but doctors and engineers who used Aexa’s groundbreaking technology to holographically teleport themselves from Earth to space. They appeared as lifelike 3D holograms on board the International Space Station, where they chatted and shook hands with the crew. This was the first step towards a new era of communication, where distance and time are no longer barriers. With Aexa’s holographic teleportation technology, we can connect with anyone, anywhere, in 3D, as if we were sharing the same room. Whether it’s for health, education, work, or fun, holographic teleportation can bring us closer together than ever before.

Imagine being able to beam yourself to any place in the world as a lifelike 3D hologram that can talk and interact with others. Sounds like science fiction, right? Well, not anymore. Holographic teleportation technology is here, and it can revolutionize the way we communicate, learn, work, and play. But there’s a catch: this amazing technology comes with a hefty price tag and a lot of hardware requirements. You need powerful computers and special glasses to make it work. That’s not very accessible or affordable for most people. That’s why we at Aexa decided to change the game. We made holographic teleportation technology device agnostic and affordable. That means you can use any device you already have, like your iPhone or iPad, to capture your hologram and stream it to someone else. No need for fancy computers or expensive equipment. Just your smartphone or tablet and a good internet connection. That’s it. Now you can holographically teleport yourself anywhere, anytime, with anyone. How cool is that?

Imagine being able to travel anywhere in the world without leaving your home. You can do that and more with HoloConnect®, the ultimate holographic teleportation app! HoloConnect® lets you create and join virtual rooms with other users, where you can experience each other’s presence as if you were really there. It uses advanced video technology to capture and stream realistic and lifelike holograms of real people and objects in real-time.

You don’t have to break the bank to enjoy the magic of holographic teleportation. You can get it now at a reasonable price. You can also record and share your holographic experiences on social media and wow your friends and followers!

For the full 2-way experience, you’ll need two devices: one to capture the hologram and one to view holograms sent to you. iOS devices and Microsoft Hololens are currently supported, with more coming soon.

HoloConnect is the ultimate app for immersive and social communication. Download it today and explore a new dimension of reality!

Holographic Teleportation White Paper

Holographic teleportation in space and astronauts’ stress: A Delphi study

Abstract

Astronauts have experienced side effects during long-term isolation. For example, they used to stay on Station for about six months in space; trips to the Moon will take longer, increasing psychological issues impacting crew performance and morale during long-term missions. In addition, longer missions to the Moon or Mars may increase those side effects. Also, a delay in communication from Mars or the Moon may be another factor that may increase the side-effects. Among the side-effects is the lack of performance, resulting in a loss of efficiency and a waste of crew utilization time. The use of holographic teleportation may reduce those side effects. The goal is to use this technology for family conferences, creating the illusion that a family member is with the crew member, which may boost the morale of the crew member. Also, it will be possible to holographically teleport the crew member back to Earth to his dining room so that the crew members can enjoy dinner with their families. Leaders in the aerospace industry have developed different strategies that might help solve some of the issues astronauts face. One of those strategies is holographic teleportation to alleviate the long-term effects of isolation. The following study examines the pros and cons of holographic teleportation as a tool to relieve some of the side effects of long-term isolation. The selected method for this research is a Delphi technique with a sample of space industry experts with holographic teleportation experience. The theoretical framework is how prolonged isolation leads to a broad array of behavioral changes and how holographic teleportation associates with ceasing those conditions. The answers information helped develop descriptive codes and categories, which led to developing themes. The findings of this Delphi Study concluded with positives and negatives. The positives are how this technology could improve the psychological aspect of the Crew Member, can provide a more intimate experience compared with a videoconference, and can be used for medical treatment. The negative is that the technology needs to increase the resolution.
