Ample evidence exists that US military operational information is released via social media and internet sources; possibly compromising operational security (OPSEC). IST Research designed, in Phase I, Managing Operations Security Tool (MOST) to detect and characterize these OPSEC threats in online data and propose mitigation techniques. MOST supports identity management and force protection profes ...

The balance between the advantages and liabilities of sharing personal and organizational digital information continues to be tested. While modern information technologies have provided tremendous boosts to personal, corporate and public-sector capability growth, they also expose a vulnerability that can cripple organizations and put personal livelihoods at great risk. For U.S. Government person ...

AimLock will prototype and test an integrated system of its automated targeting (optical based remote weapon station) hard-kill system and a radar-based early warning and locator system from C-Speed (or similar) for rapid counter-UAS missions. This work will build upon AimLock's already demonstrated hard-kill capability and C-Speed's long range radar detection and classification by automating the ...

The military combat eye protection (MCEP) program is designed to protect our soldiers' eyes from the external threats of fragmentation, electromagnetic radiation, wind, dust, sand, etc. and greatly improve both safety and operational effectiveness. Goggles and spectacles on the Militarys authorized protective eyewear list (APEL), however, are only effective if the soldier is wearing them. Fogging ...

An innovative solution that improves procurement process for rapid software development that is enabled by an innovative software technology consisting of either vendor hosted SaaS solutions, the government hosted COTS or custom solution in the AWS cloud, or a combination of both. The technology supports reverse auction, crowdsourcing and/or other procurement methods. The end product will be deplo ...

RAISERapid Acquisition of Innovative Software Solutions with External Expertsenvisions a combination of software and services that enables SOCOM and the Federal community in general, to rapidly, securely procure global talent with competitive reverse auctions and other FAR compliant approaches. The proposed Phase I feasibility study will analyze the IT Governance processes required within SOCOM to ...

Acclimatization is the long-term adjustment that humans experience when exposed for weeks or months to high altitude. Acclimatization is important in this context because a warfighter who is acclimatized to high altitude is immune to high altitude illness, has superior work capacity, and has cognitive function approaching that found at sea level. In other words, the acclimatized warfighter is opti ...

SOF combat swimmers have a need for the continuous monitoring of each others relative position while diving and for the capability of being able to communicate with each other to help establish a common operational picture (COP).The C3SA system was previously developed under SBIR Topic SOCOM08-001 thru the receipt of both Phase I and Phase II SBIR awards.The C3SA established a stand-alone network ...

Hemorrhage is the leading cause of preventable death in combat, and damage control resuscitation (DCR) research has shown that plasma is a superior resuscitation fluid for severely injured, bleeding canine casualties.However, cold chain requirements make managing fresh frozen plasma (FFP) supply logistics difficult in austere environments.Limited supplies of pathogen reduced freeze-dried plasma (F ...

Our nations warfighting capability is both aided and hindered by increasing volume, velocity, and variety of heterogeneous PED data. A scalable, adaptable, open architecture and automation are central themes in the proposed Phase II approach. The proposed architecture features innovative Master Repository (MR) and GeoPackage Repository (GR), with new tools and services that operate in a cloud envi ...
