Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS), the “forever chemical,” can be found in aqueous film forming foams (AFFF) and serve as surfactants that spread the foam to deoxygenate and suppress the fire quicker than alternatives on the market without these fluorosurfactants. The downside to using these substances are the high cost of maintenance/labor to remove them from drinking water ...

The goal of this research and development proposal is to determine the feasibility and necessary composition of a reliable, easy to use rehydration system for blood components including freeze-dried red blood cells, freeze-dried platelets, and freeze-dried plasma. Red blood cells are sensitive to rehydration-induced damage associated with hypo-osmolarity. To address this, DesiCorp proposes a burst ...

In this project, Arktonics proposes to develop monolithically integrated GeSn photodetectors on Si for high performance IR imaging sensors.  The proposed sensing materials, GeSn semiconducting alloys, have spectral sensitivity that could cover a broad wavelength range from SWIR, MWIR, to LWIR.  The GeSn sensor array could be manufactured using standard IC industry techniques for high volume pro ...

Technical Abstract: Faradine Systems (Faradine) in partnership with goTenna seeks to develop a low Size Weight and Power-Cost (SWAP-C), drop-and-go device to serve as a Team Awareness Kit/Tactical Assault Kit (TAK) meshed networked node. This solution wil

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant health issue which affects service members and veterans during times of both peace and war. The high rate of TBI and blast-related concussion events resulting from current combat operations directly impacts th

This Direct-to-Phase II proposal encompasses the refinement, demonstration, and commercialization of the TRL 7 Acclimate technology suite in relevant environments through final requirements identification, engineering refinement, integrated testing and ev

In this project, Arktonics will develop a revolutionary infrared sensor technology platform offering monolithic integration of Complementary Metal–Oxide–Semiconductor (CMOS) circuits with a high-performance detector array made from an emerging group-IV al

Cybersecurity of avionic embedded systems in various U.S. Air Force (USAF) vehicles have become an urgent concern, due to the supply chain globalization. Supply chain vulnerabilities to an embedded system can be introduced anywhere from original equipment manufacturers, maintenance, repair, and overhaul providers. InfoBeyond advocates AutoGenMalware: Automate Zero-knowledge Behavior-centric Malwar ...

Most of the COTS connectors are constructed from molded plastic (LC and MTP/MPO) and will not survive static drop, mechanical shock, random/constant vibration, constant acceleration and/or thermal shock/cycling. In the space environments (alternate applic

1109 BRAVO’s patented NeuroPak is a light-weight wearable training device designed with the intent of increasing Warfighter lethality on the battlefield and sustaining resiliency in the garrison-training environment. The system accelerates neural adaptati
