The S-351 mini-sub is a prototype of the Dry Combat Submersible (DCS). This prototype was established as a means of risk reduction prior to a full commitment to the DCS program. Both of these platforms have an operational need to transit with minimum operator fatigue safely to a pre-defined point and covertly deploy and retrieve SEALS. To meet these operational needs, these platforms require upgra ...

To perform its unique missions, Naval Special Warfare (NSW) has developed a new class of combatant craft with advanced characteristics, including advanced hull designs for better stability in rough seas and low observable characteristics. As a replacement to the commercial maritime radars currently employed, NSW needs a new Surface Search Phased Array Radar (SSPAR) which can detect, locate, and t ...

To perform its unique mission set, Naval Special Warfare (NSW) has developed a new class of combatant craft with advanced characteristics, including advanced hull designs for better stability in rough seas and low observable characteristics. As a replacement to the commercial maritime radars currently employed, NSW needs a new Surface Search Phased Array Radar (SSPAR) which can detect, locate, an ...

Special Operations Forces that are deployed in austere areas are associated with an increased risk of envenomation. Current treatment uses species-specific or polyvalent antivenins that are generated from the sera of animals immunized with whole venom, necessitating the correct identification of the venomous species and continuous injection of large volume of antibodies at an ICU-capable medical f ...

Luna Innovations is addressing the need to develop novel fluid repellent textile treatments for military uniforms that will activelydecontaminate chemical and biological warfare agents (CBWA). There have been recent significant advances in textile treatments that havedemonstrated water, oil and chemical agent resistance that are superior to Quarpel repellent treatments currently used on protective ...

Vadum will develop Chemical, Heterogeneous sensor fusion Incident awareness Module (CHIME)asoftware module that will ingest data from a large number of asynchronous, heterogeneous and multi-tiered sensors to automate the process of estimating the source attributes of a chemical or biological release. CHIME generates estimates from a continuous stream of raw sensor data with successive estimates al ...

DNA microarray technology, in combination with statistical and predictive modeling tools, could be used to evaluate thousands of genes against distinct gene expression patterns induced by chemical/biological agents to provide early identification and speed therapeutic intervention. The overall objective of this Phase II effort is to leverage existing public domain resources and commercial tools t ...

The objective of this research project is to continue the Team Transportable Collection/Communications architecture work started under SBIR Phase I, investigating the latest in communication and collection technologies, and developing a plug and play, scaleable architecture to satisfy SOF portable command center needs. At the completion, ITAC will deliver one TTS prototype, demonstrating seamless ...

The current methodology for testing the penetration resistance of textile materials to various chemical agents has a number of drawbacks, including significant uncertainties in the resulting data, inefficiency and expense, risk to test personnel, and limited range of test conditions. The objective of the proposed work is to apply unique computer models for textiles with accompanying experimental ...

Effective collective protection fabrics must have a reliable closure system. During our Phase I Work Plan, Sigma-K began developing a Hermetic Textile Closure Hardware (HATCH) system. The HATCH combines both a magnetic and geometric self locking mechanism that will provide a hermetic seal when closed. Our current Phase I successes include developing self closing samples that can provide a hermetic ...
