NIST and G2 have been on the forefront of security automation with the development of the Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP). However, the barrier to entry for SCAP content creation is the requirement to have in depth knowledge of the underlying specifications. This project aims to allow security experts to create SCAP content without the need to be an expert in the specification. By leve ...

Intelligent Automation proposes to develop voice-based automated Tele-PTSD Monitor (TPM), which can remotely screen, monitor, and provide assistance to clinicians in diagnosing a PTSD patient"s mental healthiness and readiness. A soldier (or other service man/women who may suffer from PTSD) can access the TPM system via a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) or the Internet. The voice data is ...

The Army has a defined need for an enabling technology that permits rapid prototyping of candidate combat medical devices within the OneSAF simulation environment. In response, Vecna has developed an open systems specification and interface tool that will allow OneSAF to interface with a real or simulated medical device to evaluate operational effectiveness and identify constraints for use. Th ...

Development, approval, and fielding of next generation combat casualty care technologies is a time and resource intensive process. New simulation and modeling tools are needed to rapidly assess the impact of next generation combat casualty care technologies. Understanding the impact of the new technology, early in the design/development phase will benefit the Department of Defense by enabling the ...

Most epidemiological and clinical studies are observational studies; therefore, statistical analyses are required to reduce bias in our observations and to uncover patterns from large volume of data. Statistical models can also help researchers to understand mechanisms that underlie those data. Currently available statistical analysis software packages are not tailored to the needs of epidemiolo ...

In recent years, many human-computer interaction and virtual environment systems have incorporated haptic devices. However, the range of environment properties and types of interactions enabled by existing haptic interfaces are very limited. Haptic feedback is typically restricted to that provided by artificial materials (e.g., mannequins) or resolved forces (e.g., use of PHANTOM-type force feedba ...

Inspired by canine"s olfactory receptor system, three dimensional chemical sensors will be demonstrated using nano-wire arrays, which have high sensitivity and selectivity, miniaturized size, and low power consumption. This innovative technology can be employed for combating weapons of mass destruction (CWMD).
