The company has developed a silk-derived protein (SDP) for use as a novel ophthalmic formulation excipient that will help to treat the ocular injuries and dry eye pathology that affects over 40 million Americans annually and hundreds of millions of people worldwide. The SDP excipient is designed to enhance tear formulation comfort, longevity, and overall ocular health. This proposal builds on the ...

Because Navy Cyber Physical Systems (CPSs) are often not connected to IP networks, yet still may be vulnerable to cyber attack, there is an urgent need for a portable device that can be connected to a variety of non-IP CPSs to assess their security posture. SIFT proposes to develop the CRIMSON Portable Red Team to automatically extract firmware from a target, analyze the firmware to find zero-day ...

Future DoD and Navy missions require advances in current high voltage power electronics technology. In this proposed effort, Agnitron will investigate the limitations of existing MOCVD technology and propose solutions towards an MOCVD system for Gallium Nitride capable of growth rates over 10um per hour at pressures from low to super atmospheric. The goal is to achieve low background concentration ...

The Navy has identified the need for a software enhancement to the DSSS mode wideband anti-jam modem (WAM) to optimize network performance of the SATCOM link. Traditional networking approaches are incapable of providing mission-efficient and resilient operations at low information rates. To overcome this limitation of the state of the art, Architecture Technology Corporation (ATCorp) developed an ...

NAVAIR has identified the need for operating mobile tablets in multi-level secured, disjointed mission environments to establish a common Electronic Kneeboard (EKB) capability across all United States Naval (USN) and United States Marine Corps (USMC) aviation platforms. This will enable access to digital publications, imagery, and dynamic data in USN and USMC aircraft, enhancing aircrew situationa ...

The Defense Health Agency has identified the need for an advanced computing and networking capability to support unfettered operation of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) systems in delayed/disconnected, intermittently-connected, low-bandwidth (DIL) enviro

Health Delivery Organizations, including the Military Health System, are increasingly using networked medical devices to benefit from improved information accuracy, lowered costs, and improved patient outcomes. These benefits, however, are threatened by the security risks posed by the interactions between the networked devices, and their connection to IT systems which are at risk of cyber attack. ...

The huge growth in mobile industry including smartphones and tablets, wearable devices, and the internet of things, caused an explosion in the number of sensor technologies and sensory data. This growth was accompanied by huge leaps in wireless communication technologies in term of speed and geographical coverage. When a highly-trained first responder arrives at an incident scene, an array of comm ...

Mission planning is an error prone and labor intensive process requiring similar data to be entered multiple times through various JMPS UPCs. The Navy is requesting a software solution to expedite and unify the operational mission planning process. Architecture Technology Corp (ATCorp) proposes MoMiP (Mobile Mission Planning) to incorporate mobile hardware platforms (Apple, Samsung, Microsoft, etc ...

Fast Reconfiguring Environment for Electronic Kneeboard (Freeboard) is a novel software solution providing independent application environments (personas) for separate security domains while allowing fast transition between personas, efficient collection and reallocation of memory and persistent storage according to need and priority, and secure management of communication media by smart algorithm ...
