Proposed here is a method to develop and demonstrate a lightweight JP8 fueled 3kW power generator for military uses.

Rapid and reliable diagnostics of potential biological threats from both environmental and human samples with limited or no external power requirement under extreme environmental conditions are needed to provide a greater capability to protect soldiers in far forward military operations. Phages offer highly specific bacterial detection and identification of biological warfare agents and antibiotic ...

The goal of this project is to design, fabricate, and demonstrate an easily reproducible and biofidelic head and neck surrogate to evaluate head protection systems from ballistic, blast, sound, and blunt exposures/threats.The CFDRC/APL team has extensive experience developing surrogate solutions to measure these types of threats and proposes creating a multi-purpose design which can be adapted to ...

White River Technologies, Inc. (WRT) and University of Vermont (UVM) present this proposal, "Acoustically/Vibrationally Enhanced High Frequency Electromagnetic Detector for Buried Landmines". Among the primary gaps in our current landmine detection technology base is the ability to detect a wide range of buried explosive hazards including emerging low-metal mines and improvised explosive devices ...

East West Enterprises along with deciBel research and Eikon Research developed a toolset of algorithms for radar detection and tracking of Targets in heavy clutter. This includes a radar side car architecture to allow offline testing in a plug and play environment. EWE team proposes to enhance this tool set by adding additional capability with features and algorithms to make it potentially viable ...

CFDRC and our partners have been involved in the practical research on AGT1500 class compressor stall detection and potential stall/surge event(s) for many years.We are now prepared to provide an analysis and stall detection sensor study focused on defining an optimal method for identifying, predicting and mitigating AGT1500 compressor stall and surge events.Specific Phase I efforts include:1) Eva ...

A combined transducer capable of bone conduction audio and inertial haptics would enhance situational awareness, but this need has not been met by current technical solutions.Vibrant Composites proposes extending its nonlinear resonant actuator (NLRA) haptics technology towards creating such dual-use component.Initially developed to enable the most precise haptic communication components, NLRA tec ...

There is an unmet demand for ultra-low-power, ultra-compact and low-cost radios to address emerging sensing and communication needs for military and commercial applications such as IoT/IoE. To overcome the limitations in existing bulky and power hungry radios, we propose a disruptive solution by integration of a nano-scaled THz transceiver, on-chip antenna, and energy harvesting circuits in a form ...

US Army operations rely on air and missile defense (AMD) systems to provide fully integrated low altitude air defense against cruise missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles, and other low flying fixed and rotary wing targets, as well as tactical ballistic nuclear, biological and chemical warheads. Metamagnetics Inc. proposes to develop a cost-effective and compact auto-tune filter (ATF) that rapidly an ...

Boston Fusion Corp. and Arizona State University propose to research and develop Big Open Source Social Science (BOSSS). In BOSSS, we will create a unified approach that combines social and computer science methodologies to collect and interpret big open source data, yielding meaningful focused analysis of selected populations. We will develop a system framework that adaptively learns social behav ...
