SOCOM is seeking an innovative solution for a simpler, high capacity scrubber to reduce the levels of CO2 in underwater breathing apparatus and re-breathers. Existing CO2 scrubbers are absorbent based and suffer from slow reaction rates under pressure, at colder temperatures, and under heavy breathing, as well as limited CO2 capacity and the dangers of a caustic cocktail if the scrubber floods. ...

A number of different special purpose assault rifle rounds are currently required to meet the operational needs of USSOCOM forces. Development of new rounds that provide both enhanced penetration and lethality is necessary to increase the overall effectiveness of USSOCOM forces, and reduce the need for special purpose ammunition. These enhancements must be obtained with sacrificing bullet accura ...

The need to identify and track vehicles by US Special Operations Forces has never been more acute because of the engagements in Iraq, Afghanistan and the Global War on Terror. Such capability is needed both for planning and conducting operations involving Special Forces. Special operations forces are carry out a wide variety of intelligence gathering missions which require vehicle identification ...

THE CONTRACTOR SHALL DEVELOP A FUZZY SET METHODOLOGY FOR UNCERTAINTY ANALYSIS IN PROBABILISTIC SEISMIC SAFETY ASSESSMENT OF NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS. FUZZY SET LOGIC WILL BEUSED FOR COLLECTING, QUANTIFYING AND PROPAGATING SUBJECTIVE,ENGINEERING JUDGEMENT USED IN THE UNCERTAINTY ANALYSIS. IN PHASE I, FEASIBILITY OF THE PROPOSED APPROACH WILL BE DEMONSTRATED BY APPLYING IT TO SELECTED PARTS OF A PROBABI ...

The Quick Attack Reconnaissance Remote Vehicle Platform is a remotely operated vehicle capable of performing combat and physical security missions. The modular platform features quick-change attachments that will accommodate a variety of weapon, video, audio, and bio/chemical sampling systems. The vehicle is able to operate in adverse climates and in rough terrain. The ground speed of the vehic ...

A new laser protective material for protection from battlefield lasers is proposed. The material utilizes novel polarizing metal spheroid film (MSF) coatings which function as wavelenght-tuned polarizers in the spectral band from 400 nm to 2200 nm. Each MSF coating can be disigned to place the peak absorption at specific laser wavelengths in this band while maintaining normal transmission at lon ...

There is an ongoing requirement for lightweight, strong armor material, long lasting field expedient repair capabilities, and covert attaching of insulated devices to land and water-based targets without inhibiting RF signals. The objective of this proposal is to utilize the epoxy/urethane/acrylate hybrid resin systems that have been commercialized by Triangle Polymer Technologies to develop a str ...

This SOCOM Phase I effort will use a unique combination of new materials to construct a superior and lightweight body armor. The research team brings together innovative technologies and products being developed by three experienced small business: fabric woven from SPECTRA fiber with a Neoprene matrix to prevent spalling; composite body armor products for an NIJ Level III+ System with hardened t ...
