One of the hallmarks of our modern world is the increasing ubiquity of sensors and platforms deployed in complex environments. On the battlefield, there are a wide variety of sensors integrated with platforms ranging from large vehicles, such as the NBCRV, to drones, ground robots, light tactical off road vehicles, and on the Warfighters themselves. Collecting, correlating, analyzing, and communic ...

There is an urgent need to rapidly test warfighters and their surrounding environment for disease-causing pathogens such as SARS-CoV-2. Existing methods for identifying pathogens in people usually require significant time and sample preparation. In addition, detecting pathogens such as SARS-CoV-2 in the air presents an even greater challenge. To meet the DoD need for field portable bioaerosol iden ...

The recent COVID-19 world pandemic demonstrates most effectively the urgent need for near real-time detection of ambient airborne pathogens. It has been demonstrated that electrospray ionization, utilized in many mass spectrometers today, has the unique ability to capture bioaerosols non-destructively out of the air for subsequent interrogation. This proposal leverages on this electrospray capture ...

To meet CBD’s need for a multi-dose formulation of scopolamine hydrobromide trihydrite ChromoLogic proposes to develop a vial add-on containing a self-decontamination cap with a self-healing material to eliminate evaporation and contamination risks through needle punctures in the septum. CL will also perform forced degradation and stability tests with a panel of preservatives to select optimal p ...

The Joint Project Manager for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Medical (JPM CBRN Medical) seeks to develop dermal dressing technologies that provide multiple advantages over current wound dressings for treating dermal injuries caused by sulfur mustard. Critical Innovations, Battelle's Biomedical Research Center, and NDA Partners, with consultants Captain David Tanen, MD, FAAEM, FACM ...

The proposal is to perform a feasibility study on the creation of an ultra-secure communications system with LPD / LPI and AJ, data rates above 1 Gbps, and SWAP low enough for man portable battery powered operation. This study will look at adaption commercial LEO backhaul waveforms to be ultra-secure, using sate of the art hardware like the Xilinx RF SoC and the Dujud 3D printed conformal phased a ...

To address the Chemical and Biological Defense (CBD) agency’s need for a new deep learning (DL)-based threat detection solution that fuses imaging sensors and chemical/biological sensors to detect and locate concealed chemical threats, Intellisense Systems, Inc. (Intellisense) proposes development of a new Chemical-Imaging Registration and Multimodal Analysis (CIGMA) solution. CIGMA will compris ...

To address the CBD’s need for an augmented reality (AR) display that shows chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear (CBRN), and electro-optical/infrared (CBRNE) threats, Intellisense Systems, Inc. (Intellisense) proposes to develop a new CBRNE Augmented Reality Display and Device Integration Network (CARDDIN), based on a modular network that incorporates CBRNE and geolocation information from ...

When there is a contested environment, and SOCOM needs no-compromise ultra-secure communications, the IERUS Technologies Low-SWaP Ultra-Secure Tactical OTM Communication System (LUTOCS) is there. Utilizing an open agile architecture based on software defined radio (SDR) technology to implement advanced software and hardware solutions, the system is tailored for optimal performance in dynamic situa ...

As the Intelligence Community’s experts in geospatial analytics, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) has a long-standing interest in conducting research and development in analyzing overhead imagery. With the commercialization of space, the need to analyze greater volumes of imagery much more quickly continues to progress. Fortunately, recent advances in computer vision (CV) have m ...
