The myCare2 solution will be marketed to cancer care organizations and include three separate portals for cancer caregivers, patients and providers. The system will be mobile-enabled and support standards-based EHR integration. Primary myCare2 features include symptom assessment, communication with the care team, care plan dissemination, tailored education content for caregiving and for caregiver ...

In the proposed effort, KAC will establish a process for reverse engineering and redesigning foreign weapons, primarily the 7.62x54R PKM and the 12.7x108mm NSV. Our engineers will use laser scanning to reverse engineer weapons from our on-site museum. We will reverse engineer the bolt from the PKM in order to demonstrate the viability of the laser scanner, our engineers, and our machine shop to co ...

New high performance materials, seamed with novel bonding methods, combined with advanced aerodynamic designs, will be employed to develop lighter, more compact parachutes and paragliders, with improved aerodynamic performance and stability.

Rigid wall shelter protection against electromagnetic threats has historically been provided by passive steel or aluminum skins on the shelter walls. However, these legacy shelters require high levels of maintenance and corrosion protection; do not meet current International Standards Organization (ISO) and Convention of Safe Container (CSC) standards for stack height; are not energy efficient and ...

Vadum will develop and simulate a new beamforming protocol for Distributed Communications and Electronic Warfare (DCEW) that will implement distributed TX and RX beamforming algorithms between a cluster of nodes, such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), and cooperative or uncooperative receivers. The Vadum approach uses an innovative Master-Slave architecture employing multiple input multiple outpu ...

Mobile radios on highly dynamic platforms, when networked into a virtual antenna array, can perform distributed array agile beamforming (DAAB) to serve the purposes of communications at longer range, higher data rate, and higher quality of service, targeting (an imaging radar for intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance - ISR) at longer range and higher resolution, and more powerful electronic ...

Acceleration of a launch package from a railgun is a disruptive technology with capabilities to launch projectiles in a shorter time-to-target and a greater effectiveness at long range. However, these railguns generate tremendous magnetic fields of up to 20 Telsa. These magnetic fields pose a threat to on-board, mission-critical electronics within the launch package. Mainstream Engineering Corpora ...

This effort will leverage commercial wearable sensors to tailor physical fitness training to increase Marines physical fitness and readiness. Marines are not often given a clear set of protocols for exercises, nor given adequate tools to monitor their fitness levels. Part of this work is to align infantry task demands against physiological measures, then identify a set of devices suitable for main ...

Phase I effort will develop an innovative Exploitation of Discrete GPS interference for Enhanced navigation (EDGE) technology. EDGE uses existing antenna configurations and RF front-ends on a missile platform (or similar platforms) to detect and locate GPS interferers (jammers and spoofers). Localized interference sources are then exploited for navigation, targeting, and guidance. Common approache ...

This proposed effort is to fabricate the next generation of Printed Circuit Board (PCB) based antennas using Direct Digital Manufacturing (DDM).The PCB based antennas will be converted to Printed Circuit Structures (PCS) antennas will open up opportunities for small to large UAVs to be thoroughly integrated with electronic sensing systems at a reduced weight and lower cost.The end of this program ...
