Pain is a serious and widespread problem over the short-term for wounded military personnel in the battlefield and over the long-term for veterans. Military pain management strategies for acute and chronic pain are increasingly multimodal, combining pharm

Researchers are identifying new biomarkers to help monitor cognition and stress in the human body and enhance human performance. Traditional biomarkers like heart rate, temperature, oxygen saturation, blood glucose, electrolyte concentration, etc have bee

Hazardous noise exposure is a serious problem in the military. Monitoring must not interfere with duties and match attenuation of standard hearing protection. Triton demonstrated the feasibility to develop an in-ear monitoring system of noise exposure an

The Video-Compression using Robust, Adaptive, Multiple Methods, and Innovative Techniques (V-CRAMMIT) project is a Second Phase II effort that continues developing, demonstrating, and fielding innovative compression solutions while expanding into the vide

This project addresses the need for a compact loudspeaker array to test spatial hearing in audiometric sound booths. Spatial hearing tests, especially tests of sound localization and spatial unmasking of speech reception, are needed both for qualifying pr

Sweat contains biomarkers that give an indication of human cognitive levels. In this SBIR project TDA Research is developing a modular sweat sensor patch that has the capability to not only carry out real-time monitoring of select biomarkers, but also to

Currently, deployed medics are required to transport, maintain and be resupplied with liquid-based medications and materials that are heavy, expensive to transport, perishable and may require refrigeration. Many medications and materials are or will soon

Exercise and health is vitally important to the performance of our military personnel. Optimal health ensures out-the-door readiness in deployment while maximizing longevity during missions. Historically, the primary way to measure health and performance has been utilizing a fitness test comprised of generalized exercises requiring significant human resources to deliver and minimal data to validat ...

Unmanned aircraft use various sensor packages to avoid obstacles and even the most advanced sensor packages cannot make a multicopter fly smoothly in harsh or turbulent weather due to thrust forces being entirely pointed downward. The multicopter developed is the first superagile VRA-sUAS [Vectored Robot Aircraft], due to the integration of 0 to 360 degrees of thrust vectoring, directionally capab ...

Military and civilian agencies are both challenged with complex interdependencies during critical incident and operations. Whether responding to an incident on a military installation that require multiple local/civilian response agencies, or when planning and executing an exercise where diverse organizations must interact to provide the desired impact, the need to see a common operating picture, ...
