Military personnel must be protected from diseases transmitted by ticks and fleas, including plague and Lyme disease. Effective surveillance of tick and flea vectors is vital to determine the population present, whether they are carrying disease, and whether control campaigns are working. Unfortunately, current surveillance tools are ineffective. TDA Research, Inc. (TDA) will develop an improv ...

The militarys increasingly capable net-centric environment offers clear benefits and undeniable challenges. Due to the development of new sensor platforms and sensor technologies, physics-based information capabilities have increased but limitations on human/system exploitation capabilities have limited sensor tasking such that these capabilities are underutilized. IF there were enough people and ...

The density and storage capacity benefits of lithium-ion batteries and other high-energy density storage systems make them attractive options to enable game-changing and ambitious future missions across all branches of the military. Safe packaging of these systems has somewhat lagged and as a result, a few significant events have taken place, resulting in high-profile and sometimes dramatic incide ...

TDAs proposes to develop a novel RF heating process for rewarming cryogenically preserved tissues and organs. TDAs approach is to optimize the RF frequency and power, along with the chemical composition, size and morphology of infused nanoparticles so that they heat tissue samples rapidly and uniformly. In this manner, the cryoprotectant solutions pass from the vitrified state to the liquid stat ...

Military personnel must be protected from diseases transmitted by ticks and fleas, including Lyme disease. Effective surveillance of tick and flea vectors is vital to determine the population present, whether they are carrying disease, and whether control campaigns are working. Unfortunately, current surveillance tools are ineffective. In Phase I TDA designed, prototyped, and tested a novel ti ...
