The detection of radionuclide aerosols is a critical indicator of a nuclear detonation. Current detection systems used in the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty’s  (CTBT) global monitoring network stations spend 24 hours collecting and concentrating particulates from the air to gather enough sample material for adequate detection sensitivity. This approach is inherently a batch process that ...

Under the DARPA Assured MicroPatching (AMP) program, Web Sensing has already developed initial proof-of-concept hardware building blocks and automated processes that support precision CAN-bus monitoring and secure patching of ground vehicle control system binaries. Here we seek to impact maintenance crews by development of a new technology portfolio that incorporates a Vehicle Analysis Toolkit - f ...

Today’s approaches to binary patching are largely human-driven and rely on long iterations of human effort to understand functionality in a system. Devices like commercial small unmanned systems (sUAS) are complicated, and functional flows often require coordination (messages transmitted and received) between multiple processors. It is usually simple to explain a functional requirement in human ...

The Department of Defense is seeking the next generation of personnel transportation systems to maintain the cutting edge on the battlefield. An innovative personal air mobility system could fulfill a variety of military missions, including responsive movement of personnel, urban augmented combat, CSAR, spotting for fire support, maritime interdiction and rapid infiltration and exfiltration. Howev ...

Concrete has been used in construction for centuries and is a mature technology for building large structures, but the industry is conservative in embracing new technologies. Lightweight concrete structures are not currently employed for electromagnetic interference (EMI) / electromagnetic pulse (EMP) and blast protection. Creare proposes to fabricate high strength lightweight concrete by using a ...

Biomason’s prototype MEDUSA dust abatement system provides a superior performing, logistically lean, and environmentally friendly solution for rapid dust suppression for VTOL operations in austere, forward operating positions. Moreover, base MEDUSA systems and processes may be adapted for utilization in multiple industrial sectors and serve several other key military and civilian use-cases - fro ...

We propose to develop and demonstrate, on fieldable platforms such as the NAI 68ARM2 and 67G6 OpenVPX cards, a portfolio of FPGA capabilities for providing aircraft with resilience and security. These capabilities can be selectively combined by transition partners to meet cyber-defense requirements associated with DoD acquisition programs. Alternatively, the capabilities can be integrated into ne ...

Non-compressible torso hemorrhage (NCTH) is a leading cause of death when immediate access to a surgeon is not feasible. Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA), is an emerging and promising lifesaving procedure that involves placement and inflation of a small balloon catheter inside the aorta to control torso bleeding and to maintain blood pressure. However, irreversible ...
