RE2, Inc. proposes to develop a specialized payload for the Squad-Multipurpose Equipment Transport (S-MET) vehicle to assist the combat medic with extraction of a combat casualty in dangerous environments. The combat medic is one of the most dangerous and demanding responsibilities in warfare. Often in the course of reaching, assessing, and treating a wounded soldiers injuries, the combat medic an ...

The increasing sophistication of missile defense technologies has resulted in the equally increasing sophistication of defense mitigating technologies. Whereas first generation systems concentrated on early detection, early boost phase, and/or terminal phase intercepts (i.e. low-altitudes), the current paradigm is to create systems that address all areas of the threat trajectory, increasingly in t ...

This project will achieve a mobile application called SleepFit that enables users to track their sleep habits and receive feedback that promotes positive behavior change to improve sleep quality. The SleepFit app will: (1) unobtrusively collect accurate s

U.S. Army munitions applications present a daunting combination of performance needs and environmental conditions that is extremely difficult for more energy dense batteries such as Lithium Polymer to meet. Devices must have a shelf life of 20+ years, provide peak power in a wide temperature range, endure high levels of linear acceleration and spin, and be ready for operation at a moments notice a ...

Ceramics, Composites and Coatings Company (3C Co) propose to demonstrate the feasibility of a flexible coating process to coat large volumes of metal fibers and wires in a unique and rapid way. The coating will contain a bonding layer of vitreous enamel ground coat and outer layer of reactive materials to bond to concrete. Both high and low temperature coating formulations will be evaluated. Sever ...

Approximately 5-6% of military injuries involve some form of major peripheral nerve injury that has little chance of spontaneous healing. Currently these injuries lead to major impairment of voluntary muscle function in the limbs and extremities, making tasks of walking, reaching, grasping, etc. very difficult or impossible for many patients. Focusing therapeutic treatments to segmental nerve in ...

Missile modernization and future missile designs are utilizing more sophisticated and higher powered electronics in the pursuit of extended missile range, improved accuracy and precision targeting for striking enemy threats. Tight packaging and sophistication of these electronic systems can generate significant heat loads, which needs to be dissipated efficiently in order to maintain functionality ...

Neya Systems, LLC proposes RACC: Remote Assistance for Casualty Care. Our approach demonstrates a remote virtualized presence for medical expertise over a limited bandwidth communications link. A Medical Officer annotates an incoming video stream with procedural information for a full spectrum of medical demonstrations from simple text to manipulation via captured hand gestures. The annotations ar ...

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 ...

Protection of fixed sites from biological or chemical (CB) aerosol plume attacks depends on early warning and confirmatory evidence to provide time and information to take the appropriate mitigating actions. An effective sensing system requires continuous, autonomous, and rapid coverage of large surrounding areas. Most qualitative CB sensors used for identification purposes are too expensive or to ...
