Award Data

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been used extensively for DoD firefighting applications due to their thermochemical stability and unique properties. PFAS are long-lived in the environment and coming under increased regulatory scrutiny due

Starfish Space is developing the Nautilus capture mechanism, an end-effector that enables non-destructive capture of unprepared spacecraft surfaces using electrostatic adhesion. We are developing this universal docking hardware to enable In-Space Servicin

TourniTek and the University of California at San Francisco propose to design, build, and test a portable chiller for the prolonged field care of traumatic limb injuries. Using thermal regulation, injured limbs may be preserved in the field until patients

TourniTek and the University of California at San Francisco propose to demonstrate the feasibility of using our novel 3D ultrasound technique with machine learning ultrasound image analysis to diagnose internal hemorrhage and guide blood product resuscitation in the field with our novel technology, VascuSight. Using artificial intelligence-based techniques, severe injuries and burns may be rapidly ...

With Tetra AI, the Department of Defense can process vast amounts of sound, video and sensor data in real-time locally on-device. Our cutting-edge on-device machine learning (ML) technology can can classify important anomalies in incoming data in real-tim

Poly- and per-fluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS), a group of chemicals known to cause detrimental environmental and health effects, have been linked to the use of AFFF at Air Force Bases across the US. To ensure appropriate remediation and prevent further exposure, hundreds to thousands of samples must be sent for analysis to an accredited laboratory. This costs $200 - 500/sample with wait times ...

The DoD released their stated capabilities request for a High-Speed Vertical/Short Take-off and Landing (HSV/STOL) aircraft that is safe, silent, reliable, inexpensive and fuel/energy efficient. In Phase I of this proposed program, Jetoptera has demonstrated that their innovative propulsion system called Fluidic Propulsive System (FPS), when combined with the Upper Surface Blowing (USB) Flaps on a ...

TourniTek and the University of California at San Francisco propose to design, build, and test a portable chiller for the prolonged field care of traumatic limb injuries. Using thermal regulation, injured limbs may be preserved in the field until patients can be transported to definitive surgical care. By treating these injuries prior to surgical care, amputation and disability can be prevented. ...

Nautilus is being developed to capture satellites and debris of any surface material without a prebuilt docking interface. With $7.3 million raised from top VC’s, Starfish’s hybrid electrostatic/gecko-like adhesives will provide higher forces across a ran

Starfish Space is building the Otter Pup - a highly modular and flexible satellite platform for in orbit Rendezvous, Proximity Operations and Docking (RPOD) testing. The company has raised $7.25 million to commence this effort for our own internal R&D wit
