The aims and opportunities of our Virtual-Reality-Assessment-Modules(VRAM) for Remote Monitoring and Diagnosis of Warfighters at Risk for PTSD are based upon A2-T2’s existing remote technologies already developed for OSD and commercial customers. Specifically, this project provides an ideal opportunity to extend our remote enabled TBI screening assessment and rehabilitation technologies along w ...

Our Virtual-Reality-Assessment-Modules (VRAM) successful efforts already include developing functional prototypes of small arms trainers that enable advanced assessment screening capacities with rapid sequential or simultaneous cognitive and physiological loading on militarily relevant tasks. Our innovations include exploiting exponential differences that are easily detectable within impaired ind ...

The Army currently has a need to model debris flyout and subsequent rubble pile generation from munition detonations in urban areas. Munitions may include various types of IEDs, artillery rounds, RPGs, and air delivered munitions. Rubble sources include building structures consisting of concrete, masonry block, mud brick, steel frame or wood frame. The Army is interested in simulating the physical ...

Current research tools to understand tumor cell migration and metastases are limited to linear gradients or constant flow across cells skewing results. Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology developed a tool called the microfluidic palette which exposes cells to chemical stimuli in a static environment overcoming the limitations above. Several improvements are necessary ...

Team Dignitas’ overall objective for Phase II is to enhance the training capabilities of existing virtual simulations based upon advanced dynamic terrain functionality, while simulataneously looking toward next generation capabilities. Throughout our Phase II work, we will coordinate with existing programs to minimize duplicate effort and assure we are addressing unique tasks. In addition, Tea ...

Urban environments are a central focus of military operations and by extension, training. The military simulation community has put significant effort into the representation and visualization of buildings and urban clutter. While there is basic simulation support for underground structures, progress is hampered by a lack of source data and widely available tools to support manual or automated ge ...

The modeling and simulation industry has long been plagued by errors in synthetic natural environment representations and services. Terrain correlation issues span a wide range of layers, including database generation, data content, run-time algorithms, and system functional effect. These issues are highly damaging in terms of cost and training impacts. Although multiple attempts have been made to ...

There is a strong recent trend of core Army technologies heading towards greater convergence and reuse, as illustrated by programs such as OneSAF and SE Core. However, in parallel with this trend, selected areas are actually diverging through heavy investment in technologies that do not conform well to the mantra of commonality. A key area of divergence for virtual simulation is image generation t ...

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs when physical trauma causes temporary or permanent neurological damage. In some cases, symptoms can continue and contribute to disability. Dizziness and vertigo are associated with nearly all reported studies of mTBI and are a significant and functionally limiting component of the overall disability. This project has as its aim the development of a portable dev ...
