Innovative Veterinary Medicine, Inc. has conceptualized and designed an anesthesia ventilator named DolVent™ specifically for the Navy Atlantic bottlenose dolphins and California sea lions. The DolVent™ ventilator design will support the normal physiologic state of these animals using ventilation modes mimicking their natural breathing including the modes of Airway Pressure Release Ventilation ...

Warfighters, unmanned systems, and weapons platforms need to rapidly and accurately assess wide regions of the battle space. Accomplishing this task with a single, high-definition, hemispherical imaging system can increase a soldier's survivability and lethality. There is a considerable need to develop an imaging system that can yield low distortion imagery while achieving low size, weight, and po ...

Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI), more commonly known as concussion, is well reported in both civilian and military literature, and has gained significant public attention due to recent conflicts in the Middle East and the extensive media coverage on the dangers of sports related head trauma. The Army has identified the need to develop a simple, easy-to-use, portable screening device to assess m ...

The Micro Identification Friend or Foe Transponder (MIFFT) proposed by IAI will be capable of receiving the interrogations as required (Mode 1, 2, 3/A, C, S, 4, 5 Level 2 Broadcast), providing the related replies, and managing the Automatic Dependent Surveillance- Broadcast (ADS-B) In (TIS-B and FIS-B messages) and ADS-B Out messages complying at a minimum with the Air Traffic Control Radar Beacon ...

The overall goal of the INTERACT Phase II effort is to demonstrate the technical feasibility of integrating advanced multimodal interface technologies and advanced embedded performance assessment metrics within current and emergent naval engineering maintenance VE training platforms. Our advanced interface technologies will support visual, auditory, haptic, and olfactory modalities and our advance ...

R Cubed Engineering is developing a Micro IFF that is less than 4 oz., under 4 Cu inches in volume, and can be used for mode Mode 4 and 5, as well as Mode 3 A, 3C, ES, S and UAT. Pak power is 500 watts, with a diversity and battery option in a double size package. Included is internal GPS so that the device can operate stand alone, or interfaced with a platform. The size is also suitable for use o ...

Navy ship tank maintenance and damage control surveys are expensive and labor-intensive endeavors that regularly expose maintenance crews to significant environmental and safety hazards. To address this problem, Intelligent Automation Inc. (IAI) is developing GECKO, an agile and dexterous robot designed to meet all requirements for inspection and maintenance of ship tanks and voids. For mobility, ...

Currently, live training is limited in realism because of costs (e.g., roleplayer manpower, upkeep of MOUTs), safety (e.g., restricted use of battlefield effects), logistics (e.g., unavailability of combined arms assets), and/or local laws (e.g., restricted airspace for aircraft). This project combines low-cost COTS augmented reality (AR) technologies together to overcome these challenges, to vast ...

Our FUSION Augmented Reality User Interfaces (FAR-UI) for Tactical Drones provides intuitive controls and enhanced situational awareness for warfighters controlling semi-autonomous ground and air tactical vehicles.FAR-UI fulfills all the required military standards by modular integration with the GOTS Warrior Machine Interface common robotic controller software (demonstrated and scientifically tes ...

SenseAR is an augmented reality enabled drone operation and training solution. Sense AR has three main components 1) an AR visual feedback overlay of georeferenced sensory data and flight or ground operation data that is supplemented with audible feedback 2) an AR supported command and control user experience that incorporates gesture and voice recognition and 3) an AR embedded training mode that ...
