It is challenging to detect CBRN weapons production facilities that are hidden in residential and industrial neighborhoods. Once the weapons are manufactured, they will be sealed and removed from the site of production, so developing techniques to reveal the presence of the weapons will likely be fruitless. In this project, we will develop indicators that can be applied covertly around suspected w ...

The proposed Complex Realization Generator (CReG) provides a real-time and software-based functional alternative to the Antenna-Complex Impulse Response Function (ACIRF) code. CReG generates fading channel realizations for the entire range of channel models represented by DTRA's Generalized Power Spectral Density (GPSD).

TDA Research and the University of Colorado at Boulder will team together to develop a responsive sequestration temporary coating for chemical warfare agents. The coating will be easily applied to surfaces where it will cover and contain chemical warfare agents on tactical vehicles, planes or other hardware known or suspected to be contaminated. A color change of the coating will indicate location ...

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 ...

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 ...

AktiVax is developing ARAI, a versatile auto-injector platform that is robust, light-weight, intuitive and simple for self-administration of medical countermeasures. ARAI is designed with the Warfighter in mind for handling and operation single-handedly with compromised dexterity, while wearing protective gloves and gear . ARAI is a versatile platform that can be adapted to a range of payloads, i ...
