There are many challenges with sustainment of long term supply chain of electronics parts necessary to ongoing support of fielded defense vehicles.One such example is the keyboard power supply installed on the Naval Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) vehicle. These supplies are no longer readily available and the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) has need for an alternate supplier that can qualify as a ...

ABOM has developed a novel active anti-fog technology platform that has solved the problem of eyewear fogging. These fog-free and ballistics-rated polycarbonate lenses provide the individual soldier with sustained distant visual acuity and improved situational awareness. Under this proposed SBIR Phase I project, ABOM will perform evaluation and feasibility studies for four proposed Military Combat ...

TECHNICAL ABSTRACT: We propose developing a new observational capability for measuring upper atmosphere (20-Km to 200-Km+ altitude) wind and temperature dynamics, based on Doppler imaging of Limb concentrations of NO, N2O, and CO2 called the Doppler Wind Temperature Sounder. The principle of operation is that by measuring the Doppler shift of trace gases created by the differential velocity betwee ...

In a pandemic or exposure to weaponized Marburg virus the morbidity, mortality and social unrest that will ensue before vaccines orMilitary operating on foreign soil as well as to the population of the US Homeland. Practically all threat agents of biological origin (except forcertain non-proteinaceous toxins, typically produced by marine organisms and fungi) have their structure and vital function ...

The DLA requires a set of procedures for acceptance of repairs and replacement parts made with additive manufacturing (AM). A critical component of that acceptance procedure will be tools for monitoring and control of AM processes. Vibrant Corporation provides process monitoring and control and nondestructive evaluation (NDE) services based on its Process Compensated Resonance Testing (PCRT) techn ...

Current methods for food transportation and storage are insufficient in eliminating contamination threats from food-borne pathogens, resulting in frequent cases of foodborne illness or costly recalls. Perishable products within the DLAs subsistence supply chain are no exception to this problem. AAPlasma LLC proposes a non-equilibrium (cold) plasma-based solution that will continuously disinfect co ...

This proposal is for a feasibility study on the creation of an integrated software development platform to demonstrate how software projects can rapidly, reliably, and securely be created nearly on-demand. Furthermore, this study attempts to solve the rating and vetting of developers problem, based on their code quality, efficiency, and work product, using a novel machine learning system.The study ...

Apollo is a patent-pending AI software platform that integrates with connected hardware to deliver physiologically-reactive vibration, demonstrated in a double-blind randomizedplacebo-controlled clinical trial, to improve resilience, as measured by heart rate variability, and performance under stress by up to 25%.Using physiological measurement and environmental data, Apollo identifies each users ...

Small satellites have proven capable and cost effective, and innovative payloads and technologies will expand the mission space that CubeSats can support. ATA proposes to build a CubeSat-sized laser communications prototype payload, adapting high photon efficiency optical communications techniques to achieve data transfer rates up to 100 mega-bits per second (Mbps) with the small apertures require ...

Future engagements (especially with near-peer threats) present the possibility of a wide range of anticipated operational situations involving the presence of chemical threat agents. With this, deployment of Military Working Dogs (MWDs) is likely. This creates a situational awareness that MWDs are potentially at risk from exposure to a wide range of hazardous chemicals. Potential threat agents inc ...
