"R3 Logic, Incorporated proposes to develop a high-resolution, 12M-pixel 1000 frame / s imager to meet the Army's digital imaging needs for weapons test and evaluation. Through this program, R3 Logic will not only build and demonstrate a high-resolutionimager, but will formulate a new methodology for commercially viable fabrication of large-format focal plane arrays. Large focal plane digital imag ...

Effective communications are essential in military operations in urban terrain (MOUT). Leaders must coordinate distributed squads of soldiers in hostile, urban battlegrounds through communication. However, though verbal communications are easy to capture,it traditionally takes days or weeks to analyze and assess this valuable data. Thus, communications analysis has become the province of research ...

Simulation-based training is a promising instructional approach for training military and civilian first responders. In addition to training in relevant taskwork skills, there is a need for first responder training in cognitively-based skills such assituation assessment and decision making. We are addressing this need by the development of FIRST, a validated training program for first responders ...

The focus of this proposal is to develop a leadership training system that facilitates the development and maintenance of high performance in multi-cultural teams. Specifically, the goal of this effort is to develop a scenario-based assessment andtraining system that can be implemented through a web network or standalone PC - the Functional Learning Levers Team Leader Toolkit (the FuLL TiLT). Fo ...

Sensera Inc., in collaboration with the University of Central Florida (UCF), proposes to build sensor filters with fluorescent detection for the preconcentration and detection of Biological Warfare Agents (BWAs). These filter-based detection systems allowfor continuous monitoring of BWAs in reservoirs, lakes and rivers. During Phase I, Sensera and UCF developed and demonstrated two sensor filter ...

Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems represent a revolutionary step in documentation and data utility. However, for the most part, current EMRs are used like electronic file cabinets for simple storage and retrieval of patient data. Clinicians stillneed to browse through enormous quantities of data from various sources to grasp an overall picture of a patient or filter out a few pieces of rele ...

There is a large effort in both the military and civilian medical communities to change from paper medical records to Electronic Medical Records (EMR). Currently, only about 3% of civilian physicians are using an EMR system. The DoD's medical facilitiesmust operate over a much larger spectrum of scenarios than those of its civilian counterparts. These encompass all the civilian cases, such as prim ...

The primary objective of this Phase II Proposal is to design and develop a fully functional prototype software system to support mission critical business intelligence information by applying data-mining, analysis, and decision support systems to the JointMilitary Asset Repository (JMAR). The JMAR data warehouse contains comprehensive and timely information with respect to the location, movement, ...

We propose an M&S-based approach that extends a cognitive modeling architecture to account for the effects of behavior moderators (BMs) on cognitive performance. We will model the effects of two classes of BMs: 1) individual differences representingvariations in behavior across individuals; and 2) environmental stressors that vary an individual's responses as a function of situation. Our approach ...
