Oxford Defense North Carolina, LLC (ODNC) and the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) will collaborate to develop a beam control metamaterial surface in this Phase II STTR effort. A concern with laser beamed energy systems is the inadvertent exposure of operators and bystanders to inadvertently scattered or reflected laser energy. In an Energy Web, multiple transmitters and receivers w ...

This Small Business Technology Transfer Phase II effort aims to develop a fully integrated, modular human surrogate, a software suite, and wireless data transmission.  The main goals of the Phase II project will be to increase the biofidelity, modularity, and manufacturability of the low-cost, sensor-integrated surrogate developed in Phase I.  In Phase II, the prototype that was developed in Pha ...

Non-warhead debris from a typical anti-ship or air-to-air missile can comprise as much as 70% of the total striking mass, which makes it a crucial component of any lethality or survivability assessment and increasingly important as stand-off missile programs are rising in demand.  Many current LVS modeling tools in use by the government do not address residual non-warhead missile debris at all, a ...

Corvid Technologies, LLC and Stevens Institute of Technology (Stevens) propose to utilize the results and lessons learned from the Phase I effort to develop and demonstrate a digital human body model capable of quantifying internal stresses and strains in the anatomy and joint loads due to externally applied forces from robotic manipulation. Similar to the approach in Phase I, the proposed approac ...

Modern lithium ion batteries are known for their poor safety performance, with many reports of battery failure and fire having been reported. One of the major causes of battery fire is from the use of flammable solvents, such as organic carbonates, as the electrolyte. These hazards have long limited the usage of batteries in dangerous conditions, such as on the battlefield. To combat this issue, t ...

The COMBAT OXYGENATION DEVICE (COD) is a small, portable device that provides instant oxygenation and CO2 removal for warfighters with battle-compromised lungs on the battlefield, specifically from blast, chemical, and biological attacks, targeting the subsequent Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) which results. This device gently rejuvenates damaged lungs by spraying an oxygenated li ...

WISER Systems, Inc. is a small, woman-owned, disadvantaged business providing best-in-class real-time location systems (RTLS) for nearly any environment. WISER’s RTLS powers applications in aerospace, manufacturing, warehousing, yard management, and many other industries. Unlike GPS-based solutions, WISER’s Redundant Radio Localization and Tracking (RRLT) technology enables autonomous position ...

The acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a common cause of respiratory failure in critically ill patients and is characterized by failure of oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) movement (gas exchange) across the alveolar-capillary membrane. Despite its high mortality rate of 30-50%, there are currently no definitive pharmacologic therapies for ARDS. Thus, there is a pressing requirement ...

Hemorrhagic shock is responsible for over 35% of prehospital traumatic deaths and over 40% of all deaths within the first 24 hours following injury. Multiple intervention strategies are necessary for prolonged prehospital management and improved casualty survivability including improved blood products, hemostatics, damage control resuscitation, as well as therapeutic interventions targeting coagul ...
