We propose to realize a new class of microbolometer FPA technology with significantly reduced 1/f noise by replacing the sensing material (e.g. VOx) with colossal magnetoresistive (CMR) oxides. The program uniquely combines Agiltron’s experience in novel IR imager development and leading academic research on CMR at Los Alamos National Lab (LANL). The LANL Team has developed a breakthrough pro ...

Army leaders face a wide variety of emotionally charged situations. Success in dealing with these situations requires that Army leaders manage their emotions and those of others. Army leaders, however, receive relatively little training in this area. Ne

CellTech Power will continue the development of the Liquid Tin Anode Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (LTA-SOFC) operating directly on JP-8. In this program, a 125 Watt Direct JP-8 stack will be built using CellTech’s proven Gen 3.1 cell design. Modular panels of

During Phase 2 Hstar Technologies will prototype a robotic non-invasive 3D ultrasound injury assessment system that a) allows local autonomous neck/spine injury assessment using pattern recognition, b) provides capability of telepresence injury assessment

In Phase I, Milcord LLC and Dartmouth College jointly researched and developed a software prototype that applies machine learning algorithms on contextual metadata, and entropy based sensors for the purpose of detecting data exfiltration on a computer network in real-time while accurately distinguishing between legitimate and anomalous behavior. In particular, we built empirical belief indicators ...

Physical Sciences Inc. and the Pennsylvania State University (Professor Stefan Thynell) propose a novel gas generator concept utilizing inert and safe ionic liquids as monopropellants and innovative techniques for their fast ignition and stable, sustained

Physical Sciences, Inc. (PSI) has developed an environmentally friendly, microencapsulated chemiluminescent formulation that emits at a tunable visible (deterrent use) or near infrared (covert tag) wavelength, depending upon the fluorophore selected. The

Physical Sciences Inc. and the University of Delaware propose a novel self-healing, damage-sensing, electromagnetic shielding, reinforced polymer composite concept for use in degradation-resistant structural applications. A Phase I program is planned to demonstrate the feasibility of the key elements of our multifunctional material concept. It will include characterization of stability and self-he ...

Trauma and severe hemorrhage remain the most frequent causes of death in the 1-44 year age group in both the civilian and military settings. Early recognition of shock and prompt institution of appropriate resuscitative measures are widely believed to imp

The proposed Phase II effort will build upon the success of the Phase I work by improving the low temperature hydrogen release characteristics of nanostructured hydride materials, scaling up the synthetic method, constructing a compact hydride-based hydro
