"In a collaborative effort with one of the pre-eminent microwave chemistry research groups in this country, this project offers novel and simple approaches to kg-scale microwave remediation of three types of hazardous wastes: Chemical warfare (CW) agents;Biological warfare (BW) agents; and infectious medical waste. The unique microwave methodologies to be applied include: For CW agents, unique hyd ...

"Aspen Systems proposes to develop a small portable personal cooling system that may be used by the Special Operations Forces with or without NBC protective clothing. The approach proposed will rely on our miniature refrigeration technology previouslydeveloped. Our rotary compressor, developed to provide 300 Watts of cooling will be scaled up to meet the SOCOM requirements of 500 Watts. Technic ...

"The goal of this Phase II SBIR project is to develop an improved process monitoring and control system for biomanufacturing. The completed system will include expression vectors that can be used to produce and secrete commercially useful peptides andother fermentation products, and a process control system for large-scale biomanufacturing. The vectors will encode for the simultaneous expression ...

"The Department of Defense Chemical and Biological Defense Program has a need for a highly effective, relatively low cost, low human toxicity coating or surface treatment that can be applied to fabrics and other surfaces to render them self-decontaminatingto chemical and biological warfare agents. ETEC has identified a novel chemistry that promises to be a highly effective self-regenerating decont ...

"The requirement for an underwater sympathetic detonation detector arises from the need to provide a reliable trigger signal under all conditions. The object of the Phase 2 is to transition from the current laboratory proof-of-principle brassboard to asystem that can be integrated into the existing SYDET hardware and that has low power/energy requirements. The aim of the proposed program is to bui ...

"InMat will develop multilayer chemical protective gloves (CPGs) that provide the function currently provided by several separate gloves. The key material in these gloves is aqueous nanocomposite elastomeric coatings specifically optimized for thisapplication.Butyl rubber is used in chemical protective equipment because of its low permeability. On the other hand, it has several deficiencies as a p ...

"The portable signal identification training is concise and technologically achievable. The Technical Objectives include the following:1.Generate an intended use document specifying in sufficient detail how the system will be used in training in order to facilitate a high-level hardware system operability design and performance requirements specification.2.Investigate and identify available sma ...

"Our Phase I study proved the feasibility of using monofilament carbon tow and thin resistant wire in a glove system to provide an adequate heat source to keep a soldier's hands comfortable in extreme cold temperatures while retaining hand dexterity andtactility. Our objectives during Phase II are to (1) incorporate our heat generation process into a super thin, non-melting, flame-rerardant materi ...
