We propose to take our binaural OtoStat-HCP hearing-test system, which was designed for advanced hearing-conservation programs (HCPs), and ruggedize it for use in theater. OtoStat-HCP includes pure-tone audiometry, otoacoustic emission (OAE), and wideband immittance tests. Commercial-off-the-shelf OAE systems are unsuitable for HCPs, so we will: 1) implement next-generation OAE tests to enable qua ...

To address the Army's need for the compact high resolution hemispherical imaging system, Distant Focus Corporation (DFC) proposes to develop Hemispherical Imaging Monocentric Optics System (HIMOS). The HIMOS architecture is based on innovative and recently developed “virtual” stop monocentric lens concept. This innovative architecture makes DFC HIMOS system extremely compact by having excellen ...
