Award Data

The air-launched expendable Small Unmanned Aerial System (SUAS) under development by the Air Force can expand mission capabilities by extending the range of on-board sensors, tracking multiple targets, increasing target acquisition accuracy, and providing direct support for ground teams. Current state-of-the-art battery technology provides Group 1 SUAS with approximately 25-60 minutes of operati ...

Aurora Flight Sciences and Protonex Technology Corporation propose a research effort into a Combined Airframe and Power system for Extended Range (or"CAPER") power system for air-launched Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (SUAS). The CAPER system is unique in that a fuel cell system and a SUAS will be designed together as a system, allowing design optimization to occur across the entire system. Th ...

The objective of this Phase I SBIR program is to develop and qualify next generation antiballistic airless tires that provide high speed off-road performance for Special Operations vehicles. The proposed tire technology will provide non-pneumatic antiballistic tires with terrain durability and ballistic resilience through the integration of NanoSonic"s HybridSil armor technology. This pioneerin ...

The aim of this proposal is to develop an advanced blood simulant to replace current simulants used in combat medical training. A successful blood simulant will exhibit a caking/clotting response in the presence of simulated hemostatic agents while accur

As advances in battlefield care have led to increased survival, improved strategies for treating devastating, multi-tissue injuries are needed. Historical regenerative medicine strategies to restore function to damaged tissues have failed to fulfill the

Regeneration of cartilage and cartilage repair are challenging due to limited cellularity of the tissue and the failure of allografts and tissue engineered cartilage constructs to integrate with host tissue. To overcome this limitation, many surgeons are

Craniofacial injuries to warfighters are on the rise as improvements to body armor have caused the unprotected face of the soldier to become a target for attack. These injuries are often associated with severe trauma to the underlying cartilage structure.

MedWorld will apply virtual world gaming techniques to enable military medical personnel to experience the impact of real world conditions in performance of their duties, whether they are on the battlefield or in a stateside hospital. MedWorld is struc

The main outcome of this proposal will be the development of a new generation of task training manikins that will provide a realistic training platform for the instruction of invasive trauma resuscitation procedures (ITRP) such as peripheral IV insertion,

In this project, Parabon NanoLabs (PNL) will demonstrate the feasibility of extending its Essemblix(tm) Drug Development Platform, a combination of computer-aided design (CAD) software and DNA nano-fabrication technology, to produce Essemblix-V, a platform for creating artificial vaccines from a predefined set of"building block molecules"assembled on DNA origami. Given an epitope for a potential ...
