Megacities are rapidly becoming the epicenter of human activity. Their combination of dense terrains and highly interconnected systems requires a different skillset compared to those required for more conventional US military operations. Given the scale and complexity of megacities, real-world training is impractical and beyond the capabilities of the tools currently supporting Live Virtual Constr ...

Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) is essential for the Department of Defense during force-on-force engagements, but training is currently lacking. While traditional classroom instruction and high-fidelity simulation center training are important, they fail to provide practice in a larger exercise under field conditions in which the realities of combat impact medical treatment. Furthermore, thou ...

Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TC3) is the difference between life and death following injury on the battlefield. First responders, combat medics, and casualty evacuation medics perform vital TC3 roles, but are often overburdened by multiple casualties and overwhelmed by an excess of sensor data that can be difficult to interpret in stressful and chaotic environments. Additionally, injuries can be ...

BlueRISC proposes a fundamental software assurance model upon which an automated tool will be built for inferring as to exploitability as well as malicious nature of the software under investigation. The proposed model enables a passive characterization of software that is able to drive an active testing framework. This reduces false positive and false negative of vulnerable codes as well as packe ...

There have been many recent developments in the direct energy weapon space throughout the armed services, including the demonstration of the Navy’s Laser Weapons System (LaWS), the Army’s High Energy Laser Mobile Test Truck (HELMTT) and Mobile Expeditionary High Energy Laser (MEHEL) amongst others. Many of these systems (ex. LaWS) are based on a number of smaller fiber lasers spatially combine ...

The team of Boston Fusion Corp. and Arizona State University proposes Phase II of Autonomous System Control via Social Insect Models (ASC-SIM). ASC-SIM provides a unified framework that combines: swarm-based scenarios of national interest; predictive soc...

Biologically-Inspired Swarm pErception and Control Technology (BISECT) is a decentralized swarm autonomy framework that enables effective management of emergent behaviors amid neutral or adversarial multi-swarm interactions. One key BISECT capability is ...

SummaryNitrogen balance plays a critical role in agricultural food security and biodiversity. While some nitrogen addition, such as fertilization, is highly beneficial to agriculture, too much can result in lower crop yields and plant loss. Air pollution can tip the nitrogen balance toward unhealthy soil and poor growing conditions and affect a plant's ability to cope with drought. Understandi ...

In this Phase II SBIR project, Vuronyx Technologies will investigatehigh performance BPA free epoxy coatings for food and beverage cans.Canning of foods and beverages in metal containers is extensively used for food preservation and storage. The protective coating applied on the inside surface of the food/beverage container should be safe for food contact, have excellent adhesion to the substrate, ...
