A newly developed technology and process applied to sealing packages provides enhanced features in authenticating commodities where anti-counterfeiting and anti-tampering security may be required. This novel sealing method used in conjunction with a unique software-based scan tool each afford unprecedented screening capabilities of multiple packages at vastly increased distance. This technology an ...

Currently, there is no resuscitation fluid with oxygen carrier and plasma expansion capabilities to treat hemorrhagic shock in combat canines. Under SOCOM SBIR Phase 1, VirTech Bio developed a new hemoglobin-based oxygen carrier, VIR-VET, and performed successful feasibility safety and efficacy tests in rat models. In those studies, VIR-VET demonstrated prolonged vascular retention, without advers ...

Multi-Purpose Canines (MPCs) are an integral aspect of the US military. The continued expansion and use of these indispensable force multipliers in an intense, ever-changing and complex battlefield requires enhancing their innate capabilities in a timely manner. Additionally, canines have a relatively short life span, and considering the substantial training period that MPCs must undergo, their ef ...

Soldiers engaged in Sustained Operations can burn up to 6,000 kcal of energy per day, which cannot be compensated for by current rations - Meals, Ready-to-Eat and First Strike Rations only provide up to 3,750 kcal/day and 2,900 kcal/day, respectively. This energy debt is further aggravated by the fact that most soldiers "field strip" their rations, removing menu items that are undesirable, or that ...

There is a critical need in the DLA subsistence supply chain for a convenient and compact device to purify and heat water for the warfighter. Mainstreams HHYCOR device provides a reliable and cost-effective method to increase the warfighters mobility, safety, and operational capability. The HHYCOR device is flameless (no visual signature), and safe (no Class 3 items). In addition, the HHYCOR devic ...

The United States Department of Defense (DoD) has many types of weapons systems that must be continuously maintained.Many of the components required to maintain these weapon systems are single sourced, or are available from a limited number of sources, and are therefore quite often relatively expensive to procure.In recent years the DoD budget has been reduced making it more difficult to procure c ...

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 ...

In Phase I, XABC scaled the capability to produce nanostructured LCO cathodes using an electroplating process.In this phase II proposal, XABC proposes to further demonstrate this unique manufacturing capability to produce full cell batteries with enhanced performance and reduced cost in DLA products, as a precursor to XABC becoming a domestic manufacturer of electrochemical cells.This Phase II pro ...

Toyon Research Corp. proposes the development, testing, and integration of an in-house automated 3D reconstruction and wide-area reconnaissance pipeline that provides Special Operations Forces (SOF) mission planners with the capability of automated high-resolution 3D model/scene generation from tactical sensor data and imagery. The proposed development will incorporate algorithms identied in the P ...

To address the USSOCOM need for a color night-vision sensor, in Phase II, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to advance development of the new Integrated Color Night-Vision Camera (ICONIC) proven feasible in Phase I. The innovation in the proposed color night-vision sensor is the compact long effective focal length lens (CLOFL) optics that allows for a compact camera with the required rang ...
