One deficiency of existing planning systems is that they may report mission-level progresses, but are incapable of associating them with desired mission-level outcomes/impacts. USG agency planners and other organizations have produced general frameworks for measuring outcomes/impacts such as MPICE, but clearly planning activities and outcome/impact measure activities remain disconnected. We aim to ...

The purpose of this project is to develop innovative methods for monitoring the evolving situation; intervention activities and consequences in a stabilization and reconstruction mission related to conflict, post-conflict or post emergency conditions in a country or region. The goal of our Phase I research is to develop a methodology and process to "link" planned/on-going implementation level pro ...

InnoSys and Purdue University propose to research and develop robust designs for building, implementing and demonstrating a new class of terahertz (THz) vacuum electronic device (VED) power amplifiers and power sources at frequencies in the range of 0.3-3.0 THz (the so-called THz regime) employing advanced micro electro mechanical system (MEMS) technology and processes. There is significant inter ...

The proposed research has two aims: 1) to develop a real-time algorithm that uses non-invasive physiological signals to quickly and accurately detect severity of acute blood loss; and 2) to develop a complimentary algorithm that uses all or a subset of these signals (depending on their availability and situation specific appropriateness) to forewarn providers of an injured soldier’s predicted ri ...

As the U.S. Government increases participation in post-conflict Stabilization and Reconstruction Operations (S&RO) around the globe, the ability to understand the relationships between task completion and mission completion is critical. The US Government employs a metrics tool developed though the Monitoring Progress in Conflict Environments project. The objective of this Phase I STTR is to provid ...

Physical Sciences Inc. and the University of Delaware propose a novel self-healing, damage-sensing, electromagnetic shielding, reinforced polymer composite concept for use in degradation-resistant structural applications. A Phase I program is planned to demonstrate the feasibility of the key elements of our multifunctional material concept. It will include characterization of stability and self-he ...

This proposal offers a detailed work plan to conduct the research and development tasks necessary to produce a system for use by U.S. military planners and their U.S. Government interagency partners to access relevant lessons learned and reachback capabilities in stabilization and reconstruction environments. Development of the proposed Security, Stabilization, Transition, and Reconstruction Infor ...

We propose to realize a new class of microbolometer FPA technology with significantly reduced 1/f noise by replacing the sensing material (e.g. VOx) with colossal magnetoresistive (CMR) oxides. The program uniquely combines Agiltron’s experience in novel IR imager development and leading academic research on CMR at Los Alamos National Lab (LANL). The LANL Team has developed a breakthrough pro ...
