Award Data

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

This project addresses the need for a compact loudspeaker array to test spatial hearing in audiometric sound booths. Spatial hearing tests, especially tests of sound localization and spatial unmasking of speech reception, are needed both for qualifying pr

Physical Sciences Inc. and BAE Systems have developed and demonstrated a scalable process to oxidatively resistant nanometallic matrices for use in energetic materials. The multi-functional coated nanometallic matrices will provide an oxidatively stable, hydrophobic, PAX binder compatible nanoparticle fuel to augment explosive performance and insensitive munition compliancy. The Phase I program de ...

Problem: Currently available resuscitation fluids have been shown to induce detrimental effects on trauma outcomes. Objective: The objective of this proposal is to use the data from the successful Phase 1 studies to guide the continued development and te
