SOF combat swimmers have a need for the continuous monitoring of each others relative position while diving and for the capability of being able to communicate with each other to help establish a common operational picture (COP).The C3SA system was previously developed under SBIR Topic SOCOM08-001 thru the receipt of both Phase I and Phase II SBIR awards.The C3SA established a stand-alone network ...

Neck pain is a common and disabling health impairment affecting both military and civilian populations. Due to a lack of objective, reliable, and actionable metrics, occupational interventions and treatment plans are typically based on a trial-and error process that results in suboptimal outcomes and inflated costs. To address this problem, our objective will be to (1) develop an evidence-based te ...

The primary objective is to develop a commercially-viable prototype of the slope adaptive prosthesis design and to iteratively improve the design based on ISO standards testing and rigorous use in human subject field trials. The proposed work will build upon knowledge gained in Phase I of the project, which established feasibility for this design approach in a lightweight, passive hydraulic foot-a ...

Augmented reality (AR) offers the ability to enhance existing combat medic training by including perceptual cues and adaptive training elements to traditional simulation-based training using manikins. Unveil has developed a training system called the Macrocognitive AR Trainer (MART). MART is designed to foster the development of macrocognitive skills (e.g., sensemaking, assessment skills, mental m ...

Providing Army combat medics with meaningful experience in treatment of battlefield injuries is a particular challenge. Moulage has the potential to assist in acquiring what could otherwise be very hard-to-come-by preparatory experience for distressing real-life emergencies medics and soldiers may encounter in the field. However, current approaches to moulage are limited in their ability to reflec ...

Characterizing and understanding the interactions between human and machine plays an important role in extracting the most out of our machine learning algorithms while reducing human workload. We propose to develop a software prototype system that reduces user workload of exploiting AI algorithms for imagery exploitation. We will design a user-friendly system for content matching with interactive ...
