Ultralight Industries Corporation, working with MIT Lincoln Laboratory proposes to assess the feasibility of an adaptable, scalable and efficient digital phased array that allows intelligent simultaneous RF multitasking and rapid iteration of core and tenant capabilities defined in software at the speed of relevance. Through this project, we will assess what is in the art of the possible for a low ...

The demand for rechargeable energy storage systems with greater specific energy and improved power density continues to increase to support current and next generation soldier-assisting electronics and unmanned aerial, underwater, and ground vehicles (UAVs, UUVs, UGVs). Insufficient electrical power and energy can directly impede military missions by inhibiting infantry and vehicle performance, sa ...

The Whisper Next Gen WiGig project plans to evaluate optimization opportunities within the IEEE WiGig (60 GHz) standard for use cases as a potential low size, weight, and power tactical ultra-secure communications capability for Special Operations Command (SOCOM). It has the potential to be a highly secure, covert and reliable data transmission link for soldiers or indigenous allies in hostile env ...

To support US Special Operations Command’s Next Generation Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance, and Situational Awareness applied research goals, Certus proposes the deployment of multiple Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) in a meshed configuration to enable collaborative autonomous sensing on littoral targets of strategic interest. In order to develop this capability, a number of tec ...

Quantum technology will become a key enabler of future Air Force superiority. Topological insulator (TI) qubits are inherently stable and fault-tolerant because they exploit local topological symmetries and global boundary conditions of chalcogenide materials to yield unique, emergent quantum states. Wake Forest University and Streamline Automation have been working collaboratively for the last se ...

Multidrug resistant (MDR) bacterial wound infections remain a persistent challenge for front-line military medical providers in prolonged care treatment. Phage therapeutics have demonstrated preclinical and clinical efficacy against ESKAPEE infections. Phage production however remains a challenge to remove bacterial remnants including LPS endotoxins and other pyrogens. To meet regulatory requireme ...

This task seeks to develop advanced teaming via machine learning between small unmanned air systems and Non Line-of-Sight (NLOS) munitions in GPS denied Environments. Current precision targeting capabilities are robust to state errors from ISR targeting platforms and weapons systems seeking to passively acquire a target. Visual Based Navigation (VBN) provides required state information in GPS deni ...

Traumatic injuries account for 30% of all life years lost in the US and is the leading cause of death for people under 46 years of age. Uncontrolled bleeding or hemorrhage constitute 30-40% of trauma related deaths and are considered to be a major cause o

Most standard-of-care tools and techniques for evaluating neck disorders are subjective, unreliable, and do not provide actionable information for providers, payers, and organizations to deliver efficient and effective care. This lack of objective neck he

In a pandemic or exposure to weaponized Marburg virus the morbidity, mortality and social unrest that will ensue before vaccines orMilitary operating on foreign soil as well as to the population of the US Homeland. Practically all threat agents of biological origin (except forcertain non-proteinaceous toxins, typically produced by marine organisms and fungi) have their structure and vital function ...
