In the near future, the Warfighter may face prolonged isolation and sustained denial of support on the battlefield, and may have no access to medical support. To become more resilient to these challenges, the Warfighter will need additional, innovative support to provide Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC). Intelligent decision-support software, teleoperated trauma care systems, and fully autonom ...

Triton Systems will apply our novel material design, mechanism and trainer simulator expertise to develop a new realistic reusable blank alternative for small arms live training. Our approach is focused on the development of a robust realistic recoil, report, muzzle-flash and ammo-management simulator that integrates to existing weapons without modification. The Triton reusable advanced small arms ...

Metamagnetics proposes the development and refinement of a Liquid Phase Epitaxy (LPE) growth process for epitaxial quality, thick films of Yittrium Iron Garnet (YIG). YIG is a magnetic material with unique magnetic properties that enable several new classes of spin-based microwave magnetic devices such as the Frequency Selective Limiter (FSL), and Signal to Noise Enhancer (SNE). This advanced tech ...

Between 2001 and 2011, nearly 90% of combat casualty fatalities occurred prior to reaching a properly equipped medical center, a quarter of which were deemed potentially survivable. To address these long standing point-of-injury trauma care issues within the battlefield, the military developed a prehospital trauma management approach known as Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC), significantly red ...

Human social interaction is complicated by ambiguous identities, misinformation, misdirection, and flexible alliances. Additionally, thanks to the internet, authors can post messages from anywhere in the world, in diverse forms, and with different personas. Current solutions are challenged to accurately identify and characterize authors across platforms and data types, let alone infer authorial in ...

The Department of Defenses Third Offset Strategy is focused on ensuring military forces technological advantage over our adversaries. To achieve this goal, the DoD has identified five primary components, including a key need to leverage and integrate advanced algorithms and autonomous agents, capable of understanding their human counterparts in large systems. The Armys Common Operating Environment ...

The magnetic topography in Hall effect thrusters (HETs) plays an important role in focusing the electrons and controlling the plasma discharge which in turns governs the thruster performance. The magnetic circuit components constitute more than half of the thruster mass. To produce low-mass thrusters, the design of the magnetic circuit needs to be optimized. The advanced magnetic alloy (AMA) is ...

Current evaluations of stress in textile parachute structures rely heavily on analytical estimation without adequate data collection means to validate or improve simulations. Features of available data acquisition tools are too limited to facilitate “live” stress measurement of parachute textiles in operation. Advancements in microelectronics and electronics infused "E-textiles" can be emplo ...

Human vision provides a sensory system limited to roughly a 120-degree field of view (FOV); however, warfighters must operate in a 360-degree world. Thus, any potential threat or opportunity outside the normal forward-facing FOV is not immediately visible by the warfighter. Providing a 360-degree FOV of their surroundings would dramatically enhance situation awareness, however, there is a need to ...
