"Adaptive Materials Inc. will explore the feasibility of small scale power generation using microtubule solid oxide fuel cells as outlined in Topic Area 3; Materials and Processes for Electrochemical Energy Conversion. We believe microtubule solid oxidefuel cells are the key to a soldier portable, rapid starting, field-rugged, compact, and light weight power source. Individual cells demonstrating ...

"The design, development and testing of a real-time audio telepresence device for remote acoustic monitoring is proposed. The primary goal of the Phase I effort is to deliver a fully functional wired binaural prototype microphone capable of delivering themost realistic hearing capabilities to a remotely located soldier. The technical objectives and work tasks focus on building and testing the pr ...

"AST proposes to develop a non-invasive methodology able to continuously monitor blood glucose concentration. As opposed to employing near infrared spectroscopy, which suffers from the limitations of sensitivity, stability, and repeatability, AST intendsto employ direct measurement of glucose, via amperometric sensors coated with glucose oxidase membranes, from minute amounts of interstitial flui ...

"With the availability of fast and powerful computational facilities, we are now able to characterize full-scale vehicles. However, recent developments in fast methods and the availability of new hybrid methods that combine integral, differential and highfrequency methods, have yet to be exploited for full-scale radar signature prediction of modern structures that may incorporate composites and ra ...

"Argon Engineering proposes a synchronized mobile platform Line of Position (LOP) signal intercept and geolocation system using digital narrowband scanning of coordinated wideband receivers. This approach provides precision time and frequency locking ofindependent mobile units under a designated command and control node. To enhance the quality of Electronic Surveillance (ES) during times of Elec ...

"The team of Artis, LLC, Noesis, Inc. and Brandeis University will address four objectives in Phase I. First, we will develop a system, the Virtual Motion Induction System (VMIS), that couples the sensed motion in the environment to a simulatedenvironment. The purpose of VMIS is to reduce the onset and severity of motion side effects. Second, we will test VMIS on multiple laboratory motion plat ...

"The program objective is the development of a high powered (over 200 megawatt) three dimensional, minimum aperture sized antenna that is protable and can be deployed in urban environments. It will be capable of delivering very high RF power over widefields of view. This technology is directly applicable to radars and communications systems. The results of Phase II will provide more efficient, h ...

"We propose to investigate the feasibility of using Avanti's self-aligning kinematic optoelectronic mounts for active 3-D RF/optoelectronic microstructures. We believe the unique benefit of our approach is the precision alignment of optoelectronic devicesfor coupling to the outside world (and layer-to-layer). This unique benefit is coupled with additional benefits of easy manufacturability, direct ...

"New materials and processing techniques are needed to provide a high power storage device for usage in a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV). AVEKA has developed a unique nanophase V205 material that is capable of storing and delivering large amounts of energyin a short period of time. AVEKA will utilize its proprietary coating technology to form a nanocomposite laminate from this material which can ...

"Current commercial market offers many products that may form the basis from which to proceed, these devices were not designed with the original intent to perform in the austere environment of combat by minimally trained personnel where evacuation andaccess to higher echelons of medical care are likely to be significantly delayed. The overarching challenge will be to design robust light-weight an ...
