Research conducted in Phase I identified a range of data sources providing vehicle related information to consumers shopping around or interested in knowing more about vehicles. Majority of the commercial data sources focused on vehicle features, new/used/CPO pricing, and vehicles listings. Such data sources lacked safety as their central focus, which is a concern for U.S. Department of Transporta ...

Currently, deployed medics are required to transport, maintain and be resupplied with liquid-based medications and materials that are heavy, expensive to transport, perishable and may require refrigeration. Many medications and materials are or will soon

Sweat contains biomarkers that give an indication of human cognitive levels. In this SBIR project TDA Research is developing a modular sweat sensor patch that has the capability to not only carry out real-time monitoring of select biomarkers, but also to

Built from a highly successful Phase I (Base) proof-of-concept technology demonstration, ADA Technologies Inc. (ADA) proposes to further develop, optimize and demonstrate our high energy density, long cycle life and safe Lithium-Sulfur (Li-S) battery technology to address the US Army (Army) needs for higher energy density, wide operating temperature, and safe soldier portable energy storage device ...

Due to its favorable combustion properties, aluminum is the material of choice in metalized nanoparticle formulations for energetic materials; however, the full potential of aluminum nanoparticles has not been realized due to the presence of a nascent oxide layer (Al2O3) that surrounds the nanoparticles and retards their combustion. As a result, the military is looking for novel surface modificati ...

Across the United States (US) Department of Defense (DoD) there is growing concern about the US’s ability to counter emerging air and missile threats from peer and near-peer adversaries. The coordinated use of all available sensor and weapon assets may serve to reduce the advantages afforded to our adversaries by these new threats. The Army’s Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) program s ...

In preparation for the challenges of modern combat scenarios, the US Army is seeking a next-generation Human Type Target (HTT) product line to enhance training capabilities and include more realistic portrayals of threat scenarios. One area of particular interest is full-body motion and collapse of the HTT when hit by a bullet. At the same time, this new system will need to withstand the live-fire ...

Fire can act extremely quickly in military shelters. Improving fire safety begins with understanding the fire dynamics associated with each system. All current shelters are evaluated for fire safety on a component basis only; there are no specifications for how the overall system design relates to generation of flame, heat, and smoke. As such, the Army needs a three-dimensional, reliable and valid ...

TDA, working with our collaborators, proposes to develop a novel RF heating process for rewarming cryogenically preserved tissues and organs.We have demonstrated high heating rates with the nanoparticles during the Phase I project. In the Phase II project, we will improve our already high heating rate by optimizing the RF heating process, along with the type, size and morphology of the nanoparticl ...

Sporian proposes to continue development ofa wireless sensor suite for rotorcraft Generator Control Unit (GCU) and Main Power Relay (MPR) health monitoring.This sensor suite will monitor the GCU for changes in component characteristics (e.g. resistance of relay contacts), temperature, vibration extremes, voltage surges, and other factors that will indicate the unit is close to the end of its servi ...
