Chemical, biological, or toxin attacks in military and civilian settings are a serious and growing concern. Standard first aid for exposure to some chemical warfare agents and toxins includes the immediate administration of relevant antidotes using an autoinjector. When an attack occurs, pre-filled autoinjectors must be immediately available and thus highly portable, and they must be suitable fo ...

Interfaces on existing military chemical/biological protection garments are not designed to fully eliminate macroscopic and microscopic air gaps at folds, fabric surfaces, or hook-and-loop closures, and thus do not provide a hermetic barrier against exposure. Creare proposes to develop a hermetic garment closure system that seals macroscopic and microscopic gaps at interfaces and closures and pro ...

In recent years, the military has put a great deal of effort into improving the realism and accuracy of simulation and mission rehearsal programs. Enhancing the realism and fidelity of simulations for complex terrain features and urban areas has become a priority. While high resolution satellite and aerial imagery is commonly available, high resolution digital elevation model (DEM) data is not com ...

On todays battlefields, vehicles are at risk of encountering improvised explosive devices (IEDs). Fortunately, not all of these result in complete vehicle loss. Following events at both ends of the severity spectrum, Battle Damage Assessment and Repair (BDAR) and event reconstruction efforts lack the fidelity that predictive simulations have begun to offer. Sending a vehicle back to the depot for ...

Signal Innovations Group (SIG) proposes a Phase II program that addresses three primary capabilities for applications involving high-dimensional observed data: reversible nonlinear data dimensionality reduction, static and dynamic synthesis of data in the observed space based on a low-dimensional latent space, and intuitive and meaningful human interaction with the data in both the observed and la ...

The objective of this proposal is to develop a hybrid conductive veil technology for use in UCASS or FA/xx and also as a replacement or repair of the existing conductive metallic ground planes on legacy platforms. The hybrid veil system can be made into a prepreg and bonded directly to the composite airframe. As a composite system, it is tougher and stronger than the current ground plane system, l ...

This Proposal identifies the tasks to be performed by C3I for the partial completion of the Aviation Lighting System Control Panel Set (ALS-CPS) technology developments of SBIR Topic N04-081. The Advanced Lighting System Control Panel Set (ALS-CPS) components include a 12 Control Panel (12 CP), Network Switch (NS), Modular Protocol Controller (MPC), Variable Transformer Power Control Module (VTPCM ...

Machinery Control System (MCS) cabling faults can be difficult to identify and locate since as many as 3,000 to 5,000 I/O points are used and multiple junctions exist in each cable. A single MCS fault can require as many as four maintainers and a full day of troubleshooting to isolate and resolve, and MCS capability can be substantially reduced during this process. Creare is developing a low-cost ...

Aircraft carriers are the backbone of the U.S. Navys fleet, which operates around the globe, with the sole purpose of launching and recovering aircraft to support U.S. military and peacekeeping missions. The ability to quickly and safely launch aircraft can become a key limitation for an aircraft carrier when trying to deliver the maximum amount of warfighter capability. Currently, the wheel beari ...

Legacy copper-based power distribution and degaussing cables will not be able to meet the future requirements of Navy ships and submarines. While cable systems employing high-temperature superconductors (HTS) have the potential to meet this need, further development work is required to improve the performance and increase the technology readiness level of key system components. The proposed work f ...
