The movement to more-electric architectures in airborne systems has drastically altered the dynamics of power flow in the EPS with the addition of numerous high-power electric loads and has increased the complexity of designing the electrical power system (EPS). Such high-power dynamic loads may cause undesirable system performance from both a dynamic-transient and a spectral-content (frequency-do ...

The US Army and Marines rely significantly on fossil-fuel based tactical power generation to provide electrical energy to deployed troops in small camps and forward operation bases. These generators are sized to support the expected maximum power but are

Complex systems are inherently difficult to analyze because of the hidden interactions and dependencies among components. These interactions and dependencies often produce unpredictable, potentially detrimental overall system behaviors (outcomes). Traditi

The US Dept. of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics reports 15,300 non-fatal occupational incidents of respiratory illness during 2016.Many workers are exposed to harmful chemical vapors in the workplace.To study exposures to these vapors, industrial hygienists and environmental scientists use vapor-sampling technologies to measure both intensity and duration of exposures.Current air-sampling techno ...

Airway compromise is the third leading cause of potentially preventable death on the battlefield. Current evaluation techniques of the airways associated with smoke inhalation injury are highly subjective and lack the sensitivity required of an accurate diagnostic and assessment tool. The problem of detection is further compounded by the late onset of symptoms that in many cases do not present unt ...

To address the need for a novel self-propelled tick collection device that is capable of operating in diverse habitats under various environmental conditions, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) has designed and built a new Multifunctional Automated Tick-Collection Rover (MATR) prototype that can be automated or remotely operated to deploy compartment traps and drag flags to collect non-questing and ...

Rugged, comfortable and reliable physiological monitoring systems are required to allow military commanders and medical personnel to assess the basic health and readiness of the warfighter. Direct monitoring of the health and status of individual warfight

In order to meet the Defense Health Agencys need for addressing the prevention of secondary brain injury from moderate, severe and penetrating traumatic brain injury (TBI), ChromoLogic proposes to develop a cerebral trauma recovery (CereTRec) drug delivery system. In particular, CereTRec aims to treat TBI during prolonged field care (PFC) to stabilize casualties who sustain a moderate-severe TBI.I ...

In Phase II, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to advance the development of the Intelligent Sensor Closed Loop Anesthesia Delivery (iSCAD) system that was shown to be feasible in meeting the Army Medical Research and Material Command"s need for a closed-loop anesthesia delivery system. The key innovation in the iSCAD is its novel system design based on multisensory fusion that allows acc ...

To address the DHP need for a biometric model to study the effects of dismounted complex blast injury on the pelvis, abdomen, and genitals, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to continue the development of a new Pelvic Model with multi-Sensory Data Acquisition (ELVIS). This proposed model is based on the combined development of a numerical model for blast effect prediction for different im ...
