The proposed innovative technology advances state-of-the-art mobile device security solutions by combining data integrity, n-persona security policies and enhanced attestation of devices on a Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) to enable system operators and the Warfighter to securely transmit information within a space communication network. The technology leverages multiple levels of attestation to pe ...

Warfighters, unmanned systems, and weapons platforms need to rapidly and accurately assess wide regions of the battle space. Accomplishing this task with a single, high-definition, hemispherical imaging system can increase a soldier's survivability and lethality. There is a considerable need to develop an imaging system that can yield low distortion imagery while achieving low size, weight, and po ...

Most combat casualty care systems are based on proprietary hardware and software, which make it difficult to achieve transparent wireless capabilities for monitoring, storage, and communications integration with both civilian and military networks. Moreover, tactical networks tend to be heterogeneous and dynamic. Under such unfriendly networking conditions, it is critical yet challenging to provid ...

There is an unmet need for a bio-detection system, to detect biological threat agents, that is fast, sensitive, specific, portable, and economical. The combination of quantum dots with bacteriophage that are specific for these pathogens offers a very novel response to this need. Lynnetch proposes to develop a multiplex, platform assay that uses a genetically engineered phage labeled with highly fl ...

Vecna proposes the CASEVAC litter assist winch (CLAW) to allow a combat medic or CLS to single- handedly load a casualty-laden litter onto the S-MET. This semi-autonomous system will, on command, deploy a robotic crane near the litter that can be rapidly attachedwith an extensive arm reach, CLAW can reach litters positioned up to 10 feet away. The CLS only has to issue a lift command for the crane ...

Airworthiness assessments of software-intensive based systems in aviation cannot be limited to verification and testing of the end product, i.e. computer code, since other factors can have an important effect on safety and integrity.Current methods and tools have limitations that do not adequately address the issues affecting the growth in complexity and cost of system certification.This project w ...

There is a growing military and commercial market for wireless data transfer and communications. This is largely due to the continuous technology advancements in integrated RF/microwave and signal processing components and the conveniences that wireless connectivity provide, including the removal of bulky connectors, cables and the modularity and movement restrictions they impose. There is also co ...

The objective is to develop a portable closed loop burn resuscitation system to improve treatment for serious burn patients. Burns represent 5-10% of overall combat casualties and a significant portion of survivable deaths. Severely burned patients can require 20+ liters within the first 24 hours of care. Effective resuscitation must be titrated to the individual patients physiological response. S ...

S-RAM Dynamics will design and build a mobile refrigeration system, using carbon dioxide (CO2) as the refrigerant, for the Army Multi-Temperature Refrigerated Container System (MTRCS). This state-of-the-art system will use the recently developed S-RAM energy recovery compressor(ERC) to deliver significant efficiency savings for Army refrigerated assets. The S-RAM CO2 ERC is scalable and can delive ...

Terrain and weather profoundly impact military operationsespecially in austere environments. The ability of military planners to prepare for the effects of terrain and weather offers greater responsiveness and survivability. Technology Service Corp (TSC) and its Colorado State University (CSU) partner propose flexible terrain and soil moisture impact analysis software tools to support agile operat ...
