Clostra’s 3DGEN is an end-to-end process for automated reconstruction of high-fidelity three-dimensional (3D) models from two-dimensional (2D) images. It leverages proven machine learning techniques for fusion of input images and generation of 3D models and fills a current technological gap in Warfighter training and operation in the domain of Chemical and Biological Defense. The outcomes of 3DG ...

VR Rehab, Inc. (VRR) HoloWarrior™:CBRN system’s intuitive AR/MR 3D visualizations enables enhanced CBRN situational awareness for better and faster decision making while also reducing cognitive workload. This CBD/DTRA sponsored Phase-II will quantify the large-scale performance increases and usability optimizations. Benefits are anticipated to align with our similar AR/MR visualizations large- ...

SpaceLoon proposes to design, prototype, and test a consistent, reliable, and bi-directional Controlled Altitude Ballooning (CAB) system for monitoring climate constituents, such as energetic particles (solar and cosmic) and thermodynamic variables, across various atmospheric layers. The absence of linkage between space weather events and atmospheric physics, chemistry, and dynamics, creates voids ...

The Orbital Wildfire Resilience (OWR) project comprises the innovative combination of MyRadar’s miniaturized satellite technology, onboard Artificial Intelligence (AI) processing, and wide-reaching dissemination platform to improve the wildfire hazard resilience of stakeholders. This research facilitates the development of new MyRadar commercial alerting, nowcasting, and satellite imagery produc ...

The lack of consistent, accurate information on local wildfire behavior, such as gustiness of winds at wildfire fronts and ember showers is one of the most critical data gaps for wildfire managers. Atmospheric processes in the atmospheric boundary layer significantly influence the behavior of wildfires. Temporal and spatial variability of fine-scale winds at the wildfire front plays a key role in ...

There is a need for more capable and affordable means to measure optical properties and biological constituents of marine and freshwater environments. These measures are crucial for estimating the abundance of organisms such as those producing harmful algal blooms (HABs). Affordable and effective methods to extend the measurement range and improve sensitivity of traditional optical instruments wil ...

Chemical warfare agents (CWAs) continue to represent a significant threat with their high toxicity levels. Current protective layers provide a good adsorbent, but not a reactive layer and are thus not an efficient detoxifier for CWAs. Metal-organic framework (MOF) materials show great promise to integrate a reactive component to actively decompose, or detoxify but they are difficult to integrate d ...

In battlefield environments, the atmosphere is littered with aerosols from a variety of sources: dust from vehicles and foot traffic; smoke from firearms and explosives; and, potentially, plumes of weaponized aerosols. In order to improve situational awareness, it is critical to develop a real-time knowledge of the presence, type, and structure of aerosol plumes on the battlefield. Elastic LIDAR s ...

VRR’s HoloWarrior™ augmented reality Heads Up Display for HoloLens 2/IVAS (Android, Windows) is TRL 7 with multiple successful SBIR use cases developed such as real-time visualizations for Marine JTACs, amphibious vehicle operators, and sUAS pilots. Under funding from OSD/Army (CCDC-SC) real-time visualizations already developed includes detected radio emitters and threat/targets with localiza ...

Field Shield Wound Dressing (FSWD) is a novel wound dressing that takes an innovative approach to addressing major wounds, both in prolonged field care and throughout the continuum of care. It is the first wound dressing to combine an effective broad spectrum antimicrobial (nanosilver) with a local anesthetic (lidocaine) in a simple to apply point-and-spray wound dressing. A patented polyacrylate ...
