This proposal addresses the development of a Command Post and Acoustic Listening Posts for performing detection and automatic geo-location and classification of transient acoustic sounds associated with the firing of weapons, especially rockets, mortars, and artillery and the corresponding munitions impacts. Key components of the system are rugged low-noise infrasound sensors, state-of-the-art aco ...

Tinea capitis (ringworm of the scalp) and onychomycosis (fungal nail infection) are infections that are most often caused by dermatophytes of the fungal genera Trichophyton and Microsporum. These two infections affect approximately 14 million people in the U.S. each year. Dermatophyte infections of the hair and nails are treated with oral antifungals for up to 12 weeks. Due to potential adverse ef ...

There is a “race for technologyâ€Â and staying competitive is essential to keeping America safe. By providing warfighters with the most cutting edge technology and processes, the Air Force can continually innovate and evolve. Startup Community Inc (SCI) will help the USAF set the bar for engaging with those creating leading-edge technologies. Our goals are to see a future where: - The ...

Using electric solid propellant, DSSP has developed a non-pyrotechnic small arms fire simulator that will be optimized, enlarged and enhanced for Army live fire training applications. First, the new proprietary waterproof non-pyrotechnic propellant will be further characterized for long term use and function in eSquibs and similar devices. The eSquib muzzle flash effect will be enhanced as new var ...

Proposed herein are novel design methodologies to create sensors for chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and/or explosive (CBRNE) detection aboard a Small Unmanned Aerial System (SUAS), as well as intelligent Bayesian-based plume analysis and source detection algorithms that offer capabilities for the Air Force above and beyond the state of the art. The assembled technical team of experts ...

1 PROJECT SUMMARY2 This application for a Phase II SBIR award extends the successful completion of Phase I and represents a 3 collaboration between Clinitech, LLC and McLean Hospital/Harvard Medical School to continue the4 development of a wearable biosensor for detecting alcohol in the interstitial fluid of humans. Excessive use of5 alcohol accounts for much of the public health burden related to ...

Current communication between a Fighter Pilot’s Helmet and the Cockpit is through a sophisticated cable. The requirements for the Helmet Heads Up Display and Video/Audio feed require Giga bps throughput. In this Phase I effort, a millimeter wave wireless system will be designed that supports end to end Gigabit Ethernet through a wireless link with the potential for 3.4 Gbps throughput. The ...

Mucormycosis is one of the deadliest of the invasive fungal infections. Mucormycosis occurs most often in patients with hematological malignancies undergoing chemotherapy, patients who have received hematopoietic stem cell transplants or patients with diabetes mellitus. Improved diagnosis is the most frequently noted unmet need for management of the mucormycosis patient. Delays in treatment increa ...
