Abstract: “sHLA Protein Chip” The class I [A, B, C] and class II HLA proteins [DRB1, DQ, DP] comprise the heart of the inducible human immune system. For organ, marrow and stem cell transplantation, the development of serum-born antibodies against one or more of those many HLA proteins comprises the best and earliest test for transplant rejection. Because of the enormous medical importance of ...

ORBIS proposes to Address SBIR DLA171-002 by developing efficient and effective processes to reverse engineer RPPOB Candidate Items. ORBIS has a wealth of experience in supporting DoD systems and components and is well suited to addressing the backlog of unsupported equipment .

Breakthroughs in hardware (thermal imagers, north finding/keeping, laser technology, etc.) have allowed the Marine Corps to combine the functions of a target locator, target designator and laser spot tracker in a single package: Future Targeting System (FTS). Intelligent use of this hardware and the data it provides can further reduce the size and weight of the system while improving performance. ...

To meet the Marine Corps' need for data integrity, resilience, confidentiality, and multi-level security on hand-held devices, portable computers, and tactical servers, Grier Forensics proposes development and demonstration of Trapeze. Trapeze achieves high protection multi-level security by booting into one of a number of distinct, isolated Security Environments. Security Environments are selecte ...

High performance (directional) phased array antennas increase achievable data rates and communication ranges, enable secure links, and in an Electronic Warfare (EW) setting, increase power on target, and reduce fratricide. However, todays monolithic arrays are too heavy, expensive, and power hungry. The ability to form an ad-hoc phased array, from randomly distributed single antennas would be a hu ...

Technology Assessment & Transfer, Inc. (TA&T) and their collaborators propose a 3D printed, multilayer magnetic shielding disk to protect sensitive electronics in electromagnetic railgun hypervelocity projectiles. Topology optimization coupled with multiphysics finite element analysis modeling will be employed to optimize the thickness, arrangement, and internal geometry of various metallic and ce ...

The overall objective of the Phase I effort is to design and develop a software-based MFA solution mobile device based on Bitcoin transaction blockchain technology and define a draft set of standards by which MFA solutions will be evaluated and accredited by Navy Approving Official.

RDRTec’s RACAS’s Active Element Scanned Array design approach to meet collision avoidance performance, SWaPC and cost goals utilizes RDRTec’s unique array topology.RDRTec has been developing, enhancing, and extending the Common Radar Airborne Collision Avoidance System (C-RACAS) and associated modeling and simulation tools for non-cooperative conflict avoidance for both Triton and Fire Scout ...

The ability to refuel piloted aircraft in flight is considered a strategic military asset and has been a critical element of success in nearly every US and NATO military engagement of the jet age. Equally important going forward will be the ability to perform Autonomous Aerial Refueling (AAR) and refuel unmanned aircraft in flight. In order to properly set the requirements for AAR, a high-fidelity ...
