The goal of this project is to design, fabricate, and demonstrate an easily reproducible and biofidelic head and neck surrogate to evaluate head protection systems from ballistic, blast, and blunt exposures/threats. This program will also investigate possible enhancements to helmet evaluations relating to head and neck interactions under loading. The CFDRC/APL team has extensive experience develop ...

Lithium-based batteries promise excellent performance, although they require careful management to avoid personnel injury and equipment damage. Consequently, there is extreme interest in developing accurate Battery Management Systems (BMS) to take advantage of the positive attributes of lithium-based chemistries without sacrificing flexibility and safety. However, the lack of proper BMS standardiz ...

Testing of satellite navigation receivers and their associated antenna systems is a critical component of fielding new navigation equipment for the warfighter. Anechoic chambers and open-air test ranges are typically used to test these systems in benign environments and in the presence of electronic attack (EA). A need exists for an indoor, dynamic satellite constellation simulation to bridge a te ...

Current drug discovery and development efforts are severely limited by expensive animal trials and oversimplified in vitro models. Results obtained from in vitro models are not predictive of in vivo toxicity owing to significant difference from the in vivo physiological conditions. In this context, we propose to develop and demonstrate a novel microfluidic device that reproduces the physiological ...

LIT Proposed development of a Secure Test/Programming Interface (STPI) that provides both Access Control and Tamper Detection. Phase I achievements include: Probe/Connection Detect Low Component Impact Through-the-System Protection Around-the-System Protection Layered Authentication In Phase II, LIT will advance the STPI AT technology by developing STPI product concepts and by demonstrating t ...

The development of a see-through Augmented Reality (AR) prototype to create realistic simulated human avatar overlays in lieu of standard silhouette representations offers the potential to revolutionize basic rifle marksmanship training. This technology used in coordination with a Location of Miss or Hit (LOMAH) on a live fire range supports consistent target representation independent of terrain ...

This proposal is focused on an effort to develop, test, and validate a prototype for the application of environmental intelligence in the battlespace. This prototype will be designed to allow air and missile defense (AMD) system operators to determine the impact of weather on a missile system, or multiple systems, for launch decisions. The tools are designed for both combat readiness planning and ...

Future Skies, Inc., a Woman-Owned Small Business, provided a Phase I approach for Army SBIR 2009.2, Topic A09-081"Identity Management of Biometric Data across the Global Information Grid using a Service Oriented Architecture Framework"entitled"Biometric Integration Throughout Tactical Edge Networks (BITTEN): A Biometric Interoperability Framework". We are honored to provide this Phase II proposal ...

Protective garments that isolate a dismounted soldier from the environment can also build up excessive internal heat and humidity, impairing performance and possibly leading to heat casualties. We propose to develop an innovative microclimate control system that will maintain a cool, dry environment inside protective garments. There are two key innovations: (1) a novel cooling process that enables ...

Maxentric’s solution provides multi-level security and information flow control with cell level encryption for existing relational databases. At the tactical edge, access to advanced cloud based services such Apache Accumulo may not be possible. The novel database solution allows these types of services to be deployed in any point of the network, but also to be integrated in already existing app ...
