"Reliable and sensitive detection of potential biowarfare agent (BWA) toxins such as botulinum toxin, staphylococcal enterotoxin, saxitoxin, etc., is an important challenge during both military operations and for domestic anti-terrorism efforts. We proposeto develop biomimetic polymerized liposomes/antibody conjugates that will detect toxins in aqueous samples, and will be integrated into a porta ...

"Reliable and sensitive detection of microbial biowarfare agents (BWAs) such as Bacillus anthracis, Yersinia pestis, and Francisella tularensis is an important challenge for both military operations and domestic anti-terrorism efforts. We are proposing todevelop an antibody functionalized biomimetic polymer coating for filter membranes that will become fluorescent when exposed to samples containi ...

"Current man portable antennas are heavy, rigid, telescoping or umbrella like contraptions, which limit the mobility and speed of a deployed unit. We propose to improve the weight, storage size, and ease of deployment of a portable antenna through the useof electronic textiles as described in this proposal. Planar antennas have been manufactured on thin films and rolled into position, however a ri ...

"A multi-channel transmit array is to be developed for high-speed digital communications and radar applications. Digital beamforming (DBF) will be combined with direct digital synthesis (DDS) waveform generation to achieve a system capable of using bothwaveform diversity and spatial diversity. Multiple simultaneous transmit beams will be generated that may be configured and scanned digitally. Usin ...

"The objective of this proposal is to demonstrate and evalulate the use of a Smart Monotoring Active Control System for Seeker-Platform Vibration Suppression designed for use in the Atmospheric Interceptor Technology (AIT) Kill Vehicle. This system isintended to afford a structural attachment interface between the seeker and the AIT forebody substructure. Advanced composite structures, employing ...

"A unique hot gas valve/nozzle concept promises low cost and lightweight for divert and axial thrusters. Key requirements for divert and attitude control (DAC) systems on kinetic kill vehicles (KVV's) are lightweight, low volume and cost, high impulse withminimal power requirements. Current hot gas valves for DAC's employ exotic materials such as rhenium to prevent ablation and erosion that seve ...

DESCRIPTION (Provided by applicant): BCR Diagnostics, Inc. (BCR) proposes to demonstrate the feasibility of adapting its LEXSAS (Label-free Exponential Signal-Amplification System) technology for real-time bacteriologic analysis of blood products intended for transfusion. The LEXSAS technology is unique in that it uses spores as ultrasensitive nanodevices capable of emitting fluorescent light sign ...

"We propose a directional, broadband, highly efficient underwater acoustic transducer using a baffled cylinder made out from piezoelectric single crystals. The prospective application areas will be for an underwater acoustic modem communication andAutonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV), in which high efficiency of the transducer system is required due to the limited energy availability (battery) an ...
