We hypothesize that a combination of advanced insulating fabrics and a cooling method (gas-operated) can be integrated into a portable, light-weight device for field/en route controlled limb cooling. We aim to fabricate a prototype portable device for li

Incidences of infectious disease pose serious threats to armed forces worldwide, risking the success of critical operations and can be responsible for the deaths of Warfighters. Current approaches attempt to reduce severity of disease impact to operational forces by detecting, monitoring, and treating infected personnel after exposure, but this does not effectively maintain and sustain force healt ...

Care for the wounded Warfighters in austere and remote settings makes medical knowledge, skills and efficiency of the military medical professional paramount. For wounds that extend deep into internal anatomy, proper visualization of internal anatomy can

Triton will develop an automated framework that is intended to aid specialists in the fitting and design of Prosthetic & Orthotic interfaces. The framework will provide a means for rapidly and cost-effectively producing data to characterize the patient’s

K9 units provide valuable and unique capabilities to law enforcement operations, including pursuit, search and rescue, and contraband detection. However, there is currently no standard method for tracking the location of K9 teams or transmitting video back to the command center for situational awareness and legal documentation. Several commercial off the shelf (COTS) canine-mounted camera systems ...

This proposal will investigate the requirements for an automated system that can provide triage, treatment, and diagnostic support for skin infections and other non-domestic dermatological conditions military personnel are at risk of contracting. 3Derm Sy

A Neutron detection device is an indispensable tool for Homeland Security, defense, power and medical applications. The proliferation of weapons of mass destruction such as nuclear weapons is a serious threat in today's world. Low cost, low power, high performance, rugged and portable neutron detection devices are highly desirable for these applications. Yet, the cost and production volume of the ...

Current cervical spine assessment methodologies are focused on subjective measures (i.e. pain reports) and range-of-motion (ROM) measures that only measure maximum head excursion and reach, but not dynamic motion. Due to report bias and existing incentive

Program protection and security personnel in the DoD are faced with the complex task of identifying and protecting sensitive information about systems, including the nature of mission-critical functions and components, and Critical Program Information (CPI). Successful and efficient identification and protection of CPI is essential to maintaining US Warfighters’ technological advantage. Cur ...

Protecting the effectiveness of US advanced weapon systems and the technology they rely on is a national priority. Unfortunately, individuals tasked with this mission are met with disjointed guidance, no training, and competing processes to consider. It is no wonder adversaries continue to exploit these weaknesses in the Department of Defense (DOD); stealing our Critical Program Information (CPI) ...
