A combination of DOD modernization priorities and supply chain assurance will require unprecedented development in production of new materials for tomorrow’s warfighter. The legacy chemical industry has assumed a paradigm of mega scale factories which has led to supply chain vulnerabilities due to centralization of manufacturing activity. On the other hand, biological manufacturing paradigm, wit ...

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been used extensively for DoD firefighting applications due to their thermochemical stability and unique properties. PFAS are recalcitrant environmental pollutants and bioaccumulative toxins, presenting DoD installations with significant environmental compliance and remediation challenges. The most significant PFAS issues are a direct result of aqueo ...

In the EO (Earth Observation) market, both DoD and commercial customers are increasingly sensitive to “quality of product” (an image) and receiving that image or data in near real-time. Spaceborne SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) is a discipline within radar that can be used to create high-resolution 3-D images of landscapes, ships, moving vehicle, walkers, aircraft, etc. Unlike an optical senso ...

This DARPA-STTR program aims to research and develop a computational and theoretical framework to assess the extent of asymmetric visibility through an externally tunable nanoparticle-based obscurant cloud, and how much such asymmetry can be enhanced by using a computational backend. Essentially, we will explore how the previous knowledge of the statistics of the obscurant can help the computation ...

BioSqueeze, Inc. (BSI) proposes using microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) to meet DARPA’s SBIR program objective of “pushing the utility of biological cement derived from living organisms to produce hardened surfaces in semi-aquatic environments.” Our MICP technology will reduce the effects of beach erosion and greatly improve the ability of vehicles to transition from ...
