The goal of medical simulation-based training such as high-fidelity manikin simulators, part task trainers, and screen-based virtual patients, is to approximate real-life treatment experiences without risk to live patients. While the use of sensors has ma

TDA Research, Inc. (TDA), designed, built, and tested a dense array of 100 very low cost infrasonic sensors. Due to their low cost (1/100x-1/10x the cost of other infrasound sensors), they can be economically deployed in very large numbers; such large arrays can gather more information than a few expensive sensors. They are sensitive from 0.1 Hz - 100 Hz down to 0.08 Pa. We tested the sensors in s ...

PCP Ammunition Company will research the design and development of Lightweight .50 caliber precision ammunition under this SBIR Phase I contract. PCP will concentrate our efforts on several separate criteria in order to improve upon the current .50 caliber round by utilizing PCP"s current lightweight polymer .50 caliber case. First, we will compare the performance of the current round agains ...

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

The dynamics of nano-size interactions of metal hydroxide nanoplatelets is a new field of material science. Initial research conducted by Aqua Resources and the Department of Defense, offers the promise of an innovative means of effectively defending against Chemical/Biological (CB) warfare agents in a cost effective manner without the attendant residues and long-term damage associated with tradit ...

The published data has demonstrated that the currently available resuscitation fluids have detrimental effects on trauma outcomes.By addressing these deficiencies it is expected that the outcomes will improve. The crystalloid based resuscitation fluid in development by GanD Inc. has been designed to address all of the shortcomings of the currently available solutions.The solution, GND-001, is a cr ...

Problem: Currently available resuscitation fluids have been shown to induce detrimental effects on trauma outcomes. Objective: The objective of this proposal is to use the data from the successful Phase 1 studies to guide the continued development and te

Miniaturized smart munitions are seeing increasing use across all branches of the Department of Defense (DoD) in order to meet the ever evolving mission needs for the U.S. warfighter. These smart micromuntions have been enabled by advances in capabilities and miniaturization of critical microelectonic and microelectromechanical systems such as sensor, navigational, communications, and triggering ...

AimLock will prototype and test an integrated system of its automated targeting (optical based remote weapon station) hard-kill system and a radar-based early warning and locator system from C-Speed (or similar) for rapid counter-UAS missions. This work will build upon AimLock's already demonstrated hard-kill capability and C-Speed's long range radar detection and classification by automating the ...

The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) and the U.S. Strategic Command Center for Combating Weapons of Mass Destruction (SCC-WMD) requires transformational materials technology to support the intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) of personnel and materials associated with weapons of mass destruction (WMD) development, manufacturing, and proliferation. Voxtel, Inc. proposes to fa ...
