Shelter enclosures for military working dogs in the event of a CB attack is a technology gap identified by the Joint Requirements Office. Important parameters to consider in the design of protective enclosures include low weight and size to minimize transport requirements; rapid setup; and accommodation of canine physiological and psychological comfort needs while providing protection against CB ...

Improving age-related decrease in cognitive and physical capabilities has tremendous potential for the civilian population and military personnel, including prolonged aptitude of highly-trained military personnel and lowering of healthcare costs. Mitocho

We propose the enhancement of the Patient Safety Rule Engine developed in Phase I as a prototype. The proposed system will be a rule based module that will monitor the Military Health Services (MHS) CPOE and PDTS and ensure safe prescriptions by alerting providers of various drug prescription related contraindications. The interface will be HL7 compliant. It will take the entire patient health pr ...

Impact Technologies, in close collaboration with GasTOPS, Inc. and with the support of Boeing Rotorcraft Division and Sikorsky, proposes to develop a miniaturized, integrated, on-line sensing solution for detection of lubricant quality, metal wear debris and analysis of debris elemental composition for Army rotorcraft. The airworthy multi-sensor device created in this program will serve as a direc ...

Intelligent Power & Energy Research Corporation proposes a novel intelligent power management system that will manage sources and demand for optimal performance. The p intelligent power management system will have the following characteristics: A system that optimally coordinates, manages, and dispatches generation resources with existing and anticipated load profiles to reduce overall fuel cons ...

This SBIR Phase II proposal is to develop a prototype spectrally and spatially foveated sensor (SSFS) in the visible to near infrared (VNIR) (400-900 nm) for multispectral/hyperspectral (MS/HS) imaging. The sensor leverages on Kent Optronics pixilated variable bandwidth tunable filter (P-VBTuF) and NOVA Sensors’ variable acuity superpixel imager (VASI) FPA, where the former is for spectral fovea ...

This SBIR Phase II proposal is to develop electrically variable light transmission (VLT) see-through lenses (i.e., spectacles) that provide dynamic light transmission control to accommodate lighting level between bright and dark environments. In full daylight, the VLT lens maintains sufficient light attenuation to reduce staining and fatigue of the eyes. Under low light environments and twilight ...

The primary objective of this project is the development of a number of novel high force/torque and high dynamic response actuator technology concepts that are particularly suitable for guided and smart gun-fired munitions and mortars. These novel actuator concepts will require minimal electrical power for their operation and they are lightweight and occupy small volumes. The actuator concepts are ...

The primary objective of this project is the development of novel polarized RF sensor geometries that are to be embedded into the structure of munitions for onboard measurement of full position and angular orientation of a projectile or moving object relative to a specified reference system. The sensors provide direct position and orientation measurements without requiring GPS or any other sensory ...
