Timely management and closure of burn wounds are critical for proper emergency care and the assurance of positive outcomes for the warfighter. Current technologies rely on reagents that cannot respond effectively to the different classes of pathogens that

In this Phase I program, Fabrico Technology, Professor Leonid Bunegin of the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UTHSC-SA), and Dr. Rocco Armonda, Director, Neuroendovascular Surgery and Neurotrauma, MedStar-Georgetown University Hos

Ballistic missile defense (BMD) systems make use of carbon cloth - phenolic (CCP) resin composite materials, particularly as ablative insulators in the inlets and throats of rocket motor nozzles. However, CCP exhibits aging through increased moisture content, arising from both water uptake in ambient air and endogenous water generation in the resin as it ages. The presence of water in CCP leads ...

Knowledge Based Systems, Inc. (KBSI) proposes to conduct research and development leading to the Advanced Distributed and Parallel Technologies for System-of-Systems Modeling & Simulation (ADAPTATION) toolkit and supporting discipline. The proposed toolkit will enable simulation event team members and stakeholders to better manage data and metadata and will improve verification and validation pro ...

In the Phase I research, our business will develop a preliminary Data Architecture, data model, and other architectural artifacts for a Big Data solution to manage Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) System of Systems and related simulation data. The prime contractor of Objective Simulation Framework (OSF) will provide BMDS subject matter expertise and knowledge of existing systems and proces ...

Numerica proposes an evaluation tool that can assess early-development radar technology concepts, using consistent metrics, so that promising investments can be quickly differentiated from less useful options. In this program Numerica will develop and deliver a BMD radar representative test environment for use in a variety of programs. The tool will provide an open architecture, modular operatin ...

i2C Solutions and New Mexico State University (NMSU) propose to develop a Stable Maneuverable AiRborne Thermal Management (SMART) two-phase cold plate designed specifically to interface with laser diode arrays resulting in an exceptionally effective, lightweight and simple thermal management subsystem. The proposed approach will overcome vulnerabilities of current flow boiling schemes to local gr ...

CEI along with teammates NVIDIA and Altera wish to propose the following heterogeneous CPU, GPGPU and GPFPGA system with the following six benefits: 1. CEI proposes extending the existing NVIDIA nvcc preprocessor to optimize selection of computing resources based on profiler information generated by the application. 2. CEI would propose exploring Hybrid Memory Cube (HMC) configurations that al ...

The performance of methods for track refinement from break-up events involving ballistic missiles may be degraded by certain unexpected off-nominal behaviors. For example, if the parent object is a rotating rigid body, it possesses rotational kinetic energy that could be released as translational kinetic energy during a separation event. The conversion of rotational energy to translational energy ...

There is a demand for a novel method by which memory addresses may be reconfigured. To achieve this goal, QuickFlex proposes the development of Q-Remap. The Q-Remap technology will provide a two-step scheme to reorganize memory addresses, both with an initial translation and with the ability to make further changes at runtime. Q-Remap functions without disrupting modern optimizations such as ca ...
