Service members deployed worldwide are at risk of exposures to local environmental and industrial toxicants which can potentially result in long-term adverse health effects. Understanding the impact of these exposures is critical for improved force protection and safeguarding individual soldier health. Capturing and classifying exposure data is essential for implementing risk mitigation strategies ...

Dignitas’ overall objective for Phase II is to enhance Cyber training capabilities by developing the Intelligent Cyber Adversaries Tool Suite (ICATS), a capable and flexible intelligent cyber adversary as a training tool for a target system such as OneSAF while looking forward to plans for next generation training system. ICATS provides automated cyber adversaries that conduct OPFOR defensive an ...

This proposed SBIR effort specifically aims to further optimize a highly innovative new approach termed 3IN1 for the stabilization, preservation and concentration of disease markers within serum or urine samples for later serological diagnosis. 3IN1 could potentially enable bridging the existing challenges in the need for a cold chain for transportation of clinical specimens from the point-of-coll ...

This project will develop a new scientific instrument optimized for the advanced characterization of near-infrared fluorescent nanoparticles that can exist as left- or right-handed structures (enantiomers). Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are the leading current example of such nanomaterials. Applied NanoFluorescence, LLC (ANF) proposes a novel multi-mode chiroptical spectrometer that can ...

Tiger Tech Solutions, Inc. has developed a unique professional quality biomedical wearable monitoring system. The consumer-oriented devices available on the market today are not suitable for the needs of the warfighter. The Tiger Tech Warfighter Monitor (

For mission success in the modern operational environment, chemical threat agents must be rapidly detected and accurately identified. Currently M8 and M9 papers are used, but these are restricted in the types of agents that can be detected and are handicapped by high rates of false identifications. In Phase I, highly selective color change chemical reactions were formulated and deployed onto paper ...

Phase II effort will develop and implement an embedded prototype of GPS Interference Mitigation Module (GIMM) as a tailored design of the overall Exploitation of Discrete GPS Interference for Enhanced Navigation (EDGE) technology toward a higher potential for transitioning to fielded systems. Phase II will build on Phase I algorithmic components and their feasibility demonstration results. Main ob ...

Our combatants deployed in operational environments which have high airborne particulate matter (PM) levels are at serious risk of developing respiratory and cardiovascular disease. Unfortunately no standardized PM protective equipment can currently be issued due to limitations for extended wear during sustained aerobic activity. Lynntech, Inc. proposes to develop lightweight PM filter face coveri ...

The high rate of non-medical Soldiers (Combat Lifesavers and self-aid/buddy-aid) performing field care necessitates additional medical training for those Warfighters. Unfortunately, most non-medical personnel are not provided with opportunities to practic

This proposal is to develop and implement a cryogenic optical data link into an infrared camera that includes a focal plane array. The cryogenic optical data link uses a specially designed laser that can achieve very low bit energy and very low optical loss in cryogenic environments. The laser is a vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) that is designed to reach high reliability and high e ...
