The broader impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to revolutionize wildlife field work and research. Many wildlife professionals already understand the potential for using video as a sensor, but without commercial software to turn video into data, its vast benefits remain untapped. It is important to monitor environmental effects and the impact of urban growth ...

The broader impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project lies in transforming a ubiquitous source of water pollution into a renewable source of fertilizer, while facilitating onsite treatment and reuse of recycled greywater. This technological solution is intended to conserve precious drinking water supplies and reduce dependence on non-renewable resources for both was ...

This SBIR Phase I project aims to improve the outcomes of patients suffering sudden cardiac arrest. Approximately 650,000 cardiac arrests occur each year, representing the top reason for mortality and morbidity in the US and an estimated $33 billion a year for out-of-hospital costs. Overall survival remains generally below 10%, and patients are often left with significant neurological injury. Manu ...

HEKTR (Humanoid Engageable Kinetic Training Robot) is a transformational, next generation live-fire training system that dramatically increases soldier lethality while gaining efficiencies in time and resources in order to modernize the Force. HEKTR’s realistic target can be manipulated to replicate both friend and foe allowing the flexibility to frequently change training scenarios in order to ...

Civilian Casualties better known as CIVCAS, is the bane of Law Enforcement Agencies, Security Forces and other combat forces who engage with a potential threat and make incorrect use of force decision making processes. This is due mainly to insufficient and non-realistic training.  MVP Robotics develops robotic training solutions to improve human safety and performance in austere environments.  ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to develop a transformational ventilator design targeted at the unmet clinical need for low-cost (

Background There is a stated operational deficiency for realistic, cost effective live-fire tactical combat training systems for range targetry in ground-ground and air-ground training scenarios. Despite incremental technological advances, ground-ground live-fire target training still largely relies on static targets or slow, predictable and expensive rail systems, leaving a gap between the lack o ...

The broader impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project lies in transforming a source of water pollution into a renewable source of fertilizer, which will reduce dependence on non-renewable resources for both wastewater treatment and fertilizer production. Rather than combining all domestic wastewater into one dilute stream, this project inverts the paradigm by separat ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this SBIR Phase I Project is to increase the advance a technology to transform leftover plant matter into a fertilizer to support the agricultural industry. The proposed project will develop a microbial inoculant that will rapidly and efficiently transform post-harvest leftover plant matter into a nutrient-rich bioavailable fertilizer used to nourish futu ...

The broader impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will be to facilitate the use of wind energy. While wind turbines are a carbon-free energy source, they may impact the habitats of birds and bats; recently, bats have emerged as a critical focus for the wind industry since there are several threatened and endangered North American bat species whose territories ove ...
