A shared objective in Combat Casualty Care and in Prolonged Field care is to overcome the different challenges posed by conducting of operations under austere conditions. This can be achieved in part by providing capable and functional diagnostic and treatment methods for use at the point of injury. The research described in this proposal addresses the urgent need for an improved blood analysis ...

As the DoD continues to develop applications backed by cloud-based data and enterprise infrastructures, remote-sites will require on-site data caches to permit operation during periods of disconnect from the enterprise.To address this challenge for SOCOMs Chimera system, Black River will develop a stand-alone Chimera system that is independent of Amazon cloud software; develop bi-directional data ...

Apptronik Systems Inc., in cooperation with the University of Texas Human Centered Robotics Lab (HCRL) and Huston-Tillotson University Robotics Lab (a historically black college and university HBCU), endeavor to advance the movement capabilities and modularity of the exoskeleton being developed under contract #H92222-17-C-0050. The primary goal of this program is to optimize the range of movement ...

Nanohmics designed and will fabricate a ruggedized Blood and Pharmaceutical Cooling and Storage system (BPCS) that meets current and future performance requirements for temperature selection and energy efficiency using several building block technologies that outperform the design of the currently used portable refrigeration system.This is accomplished by employing a refrigeration technology that ...

Apptronik Systems in cooperation with the University of Texass Human Centered Robotics Lab (HCRL), Carnegie Mellon Universitys Robotics Institute and Italys National Research Institute (CNR), will collaborate to develop a new type of exoskeleton that is founded upon Apptroniks Visco-Elastic Liquid Cooled Actuator (VLCA). The fundamental goal of this program is the development of a powered exoskel ...

This is an Addendum to previously submitted proposal that includes the addition of a powered upper body portion of an exoskeleton. In this addendum we propose the additional requirements of researching, fabricating and integrating a powered upper body to the previously outlined lower body. These two systems together will comprise the entire exoskeleton proposed by the contractor. Through this ...

Military divers are experiencing negative medical side effects from inhalation of cold air or mixed gas (HeO2) while diving with a closed-circuit breathing apparatus.Therefore, SOCOM is looking for an innovative device that will reheat a divers inspired breathing gas to prevent a diver from experiencing hypothermia.Paragon will apply relevant experience in the design and manufacturing of active an ...

VAWD has extensive experience developing technologies and products for Sense Through The Wall (STTW) and RF Penetration through materials. Based on our experience we believe that the RF spectrum is a natural fit to solve this problem. Therefore we have constrained our trade space for an optimized microwave technology solution.VAWD proposes techniques that will use Multi-Frequency discrimination in ...

Special Forces need a clear, timely understanding of their operational environment.Imagery from unmanned aerial vehicles can familiarize a warfighter with a location but simply looking at videos or still imagery can be confusing.What direction is the UAV looking fromWhich of many similar buildings is in viewIn intelligence, speed of collection and processing can be just as important as accuracy. 3 ...

This effort will develop the techniques and system design to display information about a wall structure. The goal is to design a system that will create a map that shows the location of material and/or voids within the walls along with the thickness and density of material. Performance trade-offs such as Size, Weight, And Power (SWAP), ease of use, image time, probability of detection and false al ...
