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 ...

Airworthiness assessments of software-intensive based systems in aviation cannot be limited to verification and testing of the end product, i.e. computer code, since other factors can have an important effect on safety and integrity. Current methods and tools have limitations that do not adequately address the issues affecting the growth in complexity and cost of system development and certificati ...

In this Phase II effort, Zeteo will further develop over-the-ear and in-ear canine hearing protection device prototypes. These devices will combine passive hearing protection with active noise cancelation. The devices will also have a communication channel to allow the handler to communicate with the dog. Design requirements evolved from Phase I will be used to design over-ear and in-ear configura ...

The CONOPS for the Expeditionary Medical Support System (EMEDS) is based on practical effectiveness, speed, and efficiency. Key among the tools required by the Air Mobility Command and the Air Combat Command, which are two of the major commands that are part of the United Air Force is a multi-channel intravenous infusion pump capable of delivering fluids that meets the safe-to-fly criteria for all ...

Intelligent Fusion Technology, Inc. (IFT) designed a high performance, low SWaP radar system that can be mounted on a group 1 or 2 UAS for counter-UAS applications, on forward observation missions. IFT's innovative radar structure allows the Tx and Rx antennas to co-exist on a small platform without degrading the radar long range performance. With relatively low output power, after applying advanc ...

Pain is a serious and widespread problem over the short-term for wounded military personnel in the battlefield and over the long-term for veterans. Military pain management strategies for acute and chronic pain are increasingly multimodal, combining pharm

Hazardous noise exposure is a serious problem in the military. Monitoring must not interfere with duties and match attenuation of standard hearing protection. Triton demonstrated the feasibility to develop an in-ear monitoring system of noise exposure an

While clinical audiometry is most often conducted with headphones, there are many practical cases where it is desirable to measure the free-space hearing performance of both normal-hearing listeners and listeners wearing hearing aids, hearing protection d

The goal of this project is to develop a flight operation constraint system that restricts and/or limits an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle’s (UAV’s) movement and maneuvering capabilities during casualty extraction and evacuation missions to within injury specific physiologically tolerable limits. The constraint system employs an inference engine-based design that translates a wounded soldier’s vita ...

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 ...
