On-site activated decontaminants will revolutionize chemical and biological decon because the activated solution is produced on demand, without the limitations of traditional pre-made mixtures. TDAs system uses electrical activation to convert battery power into reactive chemicals that quickly destroy chemical and biological warfare agents. Prior to activation, the decontaminant mixture can be saf ...

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 ...

Currently large capacity cryostats, capable of hosting experiments for many qubits, require expensive and hard to obtain liquid cryogens. A few small cryo-free systems exist but they are non-ideal for this use. An opportunity exists for a large scale, c

An eye-safe optically pumped laser based on a gas-filled hollow optical fiber will be demonstrated to lase at both near infrared (IR) and mid IR wavelengths. These lasers will be the first in a new class of IR lasers, based on the combination of hollow-f

ADA Technologies, Inc. proposes to transition our previously developed BB-2590 Hybrid Electrical Energy Storage System (HEESS) architecture into a Conformable Wearable Battery format, or CWB-HEESS (Figure 1). We seek to satisfy a meaningful, Army Program Executive Office (PEO) Soldier need for a rechargeable, safe and high energy CWB. We anticipate the CWB-HEESS will have broad U.S. Dept. of Defen ...

Decontamination of chemical and biological threats demands a very reactive solution. It is ideal to generate the decontaminants on-site: the activated decontaminant is highly reactive and quickly destroys chemical and biological warfare agents; prior to activation the ingredients can be safely stored for years, shipped, and handled. TDA's electrochemical decontamination (eClO2) technology u ...

A parallel random number generation suite that generates, dynamically, millions of parallel pseduorandom number streams suitable for consumption by high performance computing (HPC) applications on various platforms will be implemented, tested, and provided to Government, academic and private HPC users for their evaluation and use. The software will be tuned for scalability, repeatability and effic ...

Approximately 5-6% of military injuries involve some form of major peripheral nerve injury with little chance of spontaneous healing. Currently these injuries lead to major impairment of voluntary muscle function in the limbs and extremities, making tasks of walking, reaching, grasping, etc. very difficult or impossible for many patients. It is not enough to focus therapeutic treatment on the se ...
