Solid State Additive Manufacturing of Titanium Alloys Using Cold Spray
SBC: VRC Metal Systems, LLC Topic: A16AT002The US Army needs a method for large scale repair and additive manufacture of Ti-6Al-4V components in support of its light weighting initiative. Cold spray metal deposition technology is a solid-state bonding technique where supersonic powdered metal is deposited on a metallic substrate through adiabatic shearing processes at low temperature. Cold spray offers an ideal solution for the Army’s ne ...

Fuel Efficient Nanofluid Gear Oil
SBC: Pixelligent Technologies, LLC Topic: A15AT018Improving vehicle fuel efficiency for the military can significantly reduce costs and reduce risk to solider safety. One way to improve vehicle efficiency for new and legacy vehicles is to reduce frictional loses in the drivetrain through use of lower viscosity lubricants. However, this comes with the risk of reducing durability of drivetrain components through increased wear, pitting and scuffing ...

Human Performance Optimization: Ketone Esters for Optimization of Operator Performance in Hypoxia
SBC: HVMN Inc. Topic: SOCOM17C001In the setting of altitude-induced hypoxia, operator cognitive capacity degrades and can compromise both individual and team performance. This degradation is linked to falling brain energy (ATP) levels and an increased reliance on anaerobic energy production from glucose. Ketone bodies are the evolutionary alternative substrate to glucose for brain metabolic requirements; previous studies have sho ...

Human Performance Optimization
SBC: REJUVENATE BIO INC Topic: SOCOM17C001Special Operations Forces (SOF) are an integral aspect of the US military. SOF operators are among the most elite and highly qualified individuals in the U.S. military. As such, extraordinary physical and mental demands are placed upon them to excel in extreme environments for extended periods of time. This unrelenting cycle of combat deployments and intense pre-deployment training shortens the fu ...

Inhibiting Prolyl Hydroxylase to Mimic Natural Acclimatization to High Altitude to Improve Warfighter Performance at High Altitude
SBC: Research Logistics Company Topic: SOCOM17C001Acclimatization is the long-term adjustment that humans experience when exposed for weeks or months to high altitude. Acclimatization is important in this context because a warfighter who is acclimatized to high altitude is immune to high altitude illness, has superior work capacity, and has cognitive function approaching that found at sea level. In other words, the acclimatized warfighter is opti ...

System for Nighttime and Low-Light Face Recognition
SBC: Systems & Technology Research LLC Topic: SOCOM18A001Face recognition performance using deep learning has seen dramatic improvements in recent years. This improvement has been fueled in part by the curation of large labeled training datasets with millions of images of hundreds of thousands of subjects.This results in effective generalization for matching over pose, illumination, expression and age variation, however these datasets have traditionally ...

System for Nighttime and Low-Light Face Recognition
SBC: MUKH Technologies LLC Topic: SOCOM18A001Recognizing faces in low-light and nighttime conditions is a challenging problem due to the noisy and poor quality nature of the images.Thermal imaging is often used to obtain facial biometric in such conditions. Thermal face images, while having a strong signature at nighttime, are not typically maintained in biometric-enabled watch lists and so must be compared with visible-light face images to ...

System for Nighttime and Low-Light Face Recognition
SBC: POLARIS SENSOR TECHNOLOGIES INC Topic: SOCOM18A001The objective of this proposal is to develop instrumentation and algorithms for acquiring facial features for facial recognition in low- and no-light conditions.We will use cross-spectrum matching by exploiting infrared polarimetric imagery which tends to show features that match more closely visible imagery than conventional infrared.In addition to thermal infrared, we will also test subjects in ...

Man-Portable and Fieldable Mass Spectrometer for Sequencing Peptides
SBC: BAYSPEC, INC. Topic: A16AT012BaySpec Inc., in collaboration with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, proposes to develop a new portable multi-order mass spectrometry system that can sequence peptides derived from biological agents including bacteria, viruses, and toxins. During Phase I stage, a fully functional prototype instrument, based on an innovative design concept, was successfully built and the performance evaluatio ...
