When testing weapon systems, full motion video of the test article is among the data collected. However, in practice, such video is generally degraded due to environmental conditions between the imaging system and the subject. Digital processing techniques have been developed that have demonstrated the ability to reconstruct high-resolution imagery from environmentally degraded videos but to date ...

Today, medical simulators such as medical mannequins play an essential role in training combat medics, doctors, nurses, and other military medical personnel. The more realistic those medical simulators are, the more effectively the trained personnel can act in the real situations. To be fully useful in such critical training, however, medical simulators need to overcome the tradeoff between fideli ...

The proposed effort aims to increase the TRL of the hemostatic agent through completion of relevant animal and toxicological research and development. These advancements will be verified through process improvements to meet good manufacturing practices.

Our proposal develops an osteochondral repair platform that is conformable to a wide variety of injury geometries without the need for preoperative customization. Further this platform does not rely on any autologous tissue and is amenable to scalable man

In keeping with the objective of developing and supplying a simple, rapidly manufacturable powerplant for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Authority (“DARPA”) Flying Missile Rail (“FMR”) program, the North American Wave Engine Corporation (“NAWEC”) will build and test a full-scale pulsejet engine for the FMR air vehicle.

Enig Associates, Inc. (“ENIG”) is developing, as part of the DARPA SBIR Phase II effort “Dynamic Multi-Scale Characterization Methods for Reactive Material Structures (RMS) for Advanced Warhead Effects (“RMS-eVAL”),” a software toolkit to accurately assess the design space of munitions containing RMS components by comparing their penetration, detonation and combustion effects to conven ...

Boston Fusion Corp. and Arizona State University will research and develop REsilience & Stability in DENse Terrains (RESIDENT), a multi-modal, multi-model, multi-scale framework for assessing indicators of stability and resilience in dense urban environments. Our team consists of subject matter experts in the Social and Computer Sciences providing the bedrock on which to build accurate mathematica ...

Physical Sciences Inc. proposes the enhancement of the ChemSIGMA early warning system, which provides a wide-area distributed detection network designed to persistently monitor for airborne chemical warfare agents and toxic industrial compounds. ChemSIGMA is a physically accurate probabilistic framework for intelligent data fusion of responses from chemical point sensors in a distributed network. ...

Eye injuries are common in combat. Many of these injuries can result in a buildup of pressure behind the eye, causing a damaging reduction in blood flow to the retina and optic nerve. A Lateral Canthotomy and Cantholysis (LCC) can save the eyesight of t

Predictive Analytics for NOrmalcy Reasoning and AnoMaly Analysis (PANORAMA) is a machine learning (ML) tool for automatic identification system (AIS) data that learns maritime patterns of life and detects anomalous vessel behavior. PANORAMA learns what is normal for a given ship, taking into account: (1) that ship’s past behavior, (2) the past behavior of similar ships, (3) normalcy patterns in ...
