Applied Novel Devices (AND) is commercializing an innovative power MOSFET technology platform (called ANDFET) that brings in several unique GaN-like performance benefits to Si power devices at a fraction of the cost.  As part of this sequential proposal, we propose to increase the technical maturity level and manufacturing readiness level from TRL/MRL level 6 to level 8.  During this project, AN ...

To date, no realizable method of predicting the occurrence or magnitude of a Solar Energetic Particle (SEP) event has been developed. There are multiple models currently available in the Community Coordinated Modeling Center (CCMC) through Goddard Space Flight Center that attempt to provide timely and accurate event propagation (e.g.MAG4, Enlil, and SEPMOD). None of these have yet achieved the goa ...

The Army's medic training largely disregards the anatomical and physiological differences between males and females. In fact, current Tactical Combat Casualty Care manikins are male and thus cannot realistically represent female anatomy. There are some existing products that together might be able to address this problem, such  as PerSim, our current commercial mixed reality simulator that includ ...

Innovative Design Labs (IDL) is answering the Army Applications Laboratory (AAL) SPARTN Program’s call to develop an anatomically correct female manikin with Mixed Reality (MR) capabilities. Significance: The funding opportunity references make note of lower survivability rates for female casualties in comparison to males: 35.9% vs 17% (Operation Enduring Freedom) and 14.5% vs 12% (Operation Ira ...

The Army, and the DoD in general, has a gender casualty survivability gap problem: female casualties have a significantly lower survival rate than male casualties.  Reasons for this gender gap include: training is done largely with male manikins and female abdominal and chest wounds are not identified or treated properly because of hesitancy in exposing these parts of the female body.  The Army ...
