Apptronik Systems in cooperation with the University of Texass Human Centered Robotics Lab (HCRL), Carnegie Mellon Universitys Robotics Institute and Italys National Research Institute (CNR), will collaborate to develop a new type of exoskeleton that is founded upon Apptroniks Visco-Elastic Liquid Cooled Actuator (VLCA). The fundamental goal of this program is the development of a powered exoskel ...

This is an Addendum to previously submitted proposal that includes the addition of a powered upper body portion of an exoskeleton. In this addendum we propose the additional requirements of researching, fabricating and integrating a powered upper body to the previously outlined lower body. These two systems together will comprise the entire exoskeleton proposed by the contractor. Through this ...

Apptronik Systems Inc., in cooperation with the University of Texas Human Centered Robotics Lab (HCRL) and Huston-Tillotson University Robotics Lab (a historically black college and university HBCU), endeavor to advance the movement capabilities and modularity of the exoskeleton being developed under contract #H92222-17-C-0050. The primary goal of this program is to optimize the range of movement ...

Audible noise generated from propeller driven aircraft has been extensively studied by aero acoustic scientists and engineers. Manned aircraft and Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems are being fielded by SOCOM for unique missions. Detrimental noise inherent to propeller driven aircraft signals approach and location, which then compromises personnel, payload, the aircraft, and mission success. Our nov ...

Lynntech proposes to use state of the art off-the-shelf electric coolers to provide temperature control within the Portable Cooled Biomedical Storage (PCBS) device. To decrease procurement time of the production model, a standard military medical supply case will be used to house the PCBS components. These electric coolers have a long history of being successfully used with spacecraft for lightwei ...

Nanohmics proposes creating a ruggedized biologics refrigerator that meets future Navy performance requirements for temperature selectability and efficiency. This unit will employ several building block technologies that have outpaced the design of the currently used portable refrigeration system. This will be done employing next generation vacuum insulation panels and a refrigeration technology t ...

Special Operations Force operators are often subjected to physically challenging conditions under varying environmental extremes. Efficient body temperature regulation, proper heat stree management, as well as adequate soldier comfort level are keys to enhanced warfighter performance and continued mission success. While textile fabrics used in US military uniforms have multiple favorable propert ...

Mortar systems are widely used within the Special Operations Force to provide organic fire support. Traditionally, due to inaccuracies in estimates of orientation, position, and environmental parameters, the first mortar fired has been unlikely to produce effects on target and is used to determine the required correction for subsequent salvos. While estimates of the enemys position have become inc ...

Creative Microsystems will develop the Modular Vision Processing System (MVPS) for the VAS system of TALOS. CMC will incorporate the system into the bridge of the wide field of view night vision goggles, such as the GPNVG. The system will be based on the Movidius Myriad 2 visual processing unit combined with CMCs techniques to receive and send large amounts of image data over restricted interfaces ...

CMC proposes to develop an image overlay see-through display for a 4-tube night vision goggle system by integrating four of CMCs proprietary Holographic Imageguide Displays (HID) to provide a conformal full field of view (FOV) over a GPNVG.
