The XTG (pronounced “ex-tag”) smart tag system, provides individual device authentication, traceability, and a higher standard of security with an information rich system able to record, view, and analyze each tagged product’s full provenance production history.  The XTG system serves as a holistic solution, capable of combining and incorporating device level traceability data across both m ...

The ongoing development of new, improved technology for both hardware and software leads to the almost constant upgrade of existing strategic sensor and communications systems and the development and deployment of new systems.  This work addresses warfighter concerns raised in the area of satellite communications and radar, where burst-produced ionospheric disturbances can cause scintillation of ...

To support DTRA’s agent-defeat efforts, we will refine a laser-based Optical Thermocouple (OTC) technology and build and deliver to DTRA a hardened OTC prototype. This OTC system will be capable of quantifying the localized temporal evolution of temperature inside a detonation environment. The OTC technology is based on two-color fluorescence thermometry to determine the temperature. After laser ...

Oceanit proposes to develop novel approach for the detection of and protection from emerging viral pandemic pathogens. Oceanit has previously developed novel binding molecules that successful target and bind to SARS-CoV-2 viral proteins and can be incorporated into detection products and surface prophylactic treatments. In this Direct to Phase II effort, Oceanit proposes to further develop the rap ...

Counterfeit electronic parts in the Department of Defense (DoD) supply chain undermine the operational readiness and performance of weapons systems, provide a competitive edge to adversaries, and put American warfighters at risk. Only through the elimination of such counterfeit components can we assure confidence in our defense systems and in defense force readiness and lethality. The DoD establis ...

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) top priority is warfighter support, and the DLA is firmly committed to a robust counterfeit mitigation strategy that protects our warfighters and the vital missions they perform. HNu Photonics, LLC (HNu) Color Holographic Quick Response (CHQR, pronounced “Checker”) technology combines RGB 3-layer QR codes with holographic imaging technology, and is as robust ...

This project team will fully develop and test AlphaBear 2, a vocabulary learning game for grade 4 to 7 students. Vocabulary is a prerequisite for academic success, as it is linked to stronger performance across academic subjects and improved reading comprehension. It is more difficult for students to participate in educational activities without understanding the key vocabulary associated with tha ...

Video Demonstration of the Phase I Prototype: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsvXXII2zzw&index=5&list=PLVHqsnePfULrUf_-HwtRfwEYsb9patGd- Purpose: This project will develop and test Eco, an online multiplayer virtual environment and game designed to enhance middle school students' knowledge of ecology and environmental literacy. This is important because according to the 2011 National Assessment ...
