Accelerated development of directed energy technologies has presented new problems to mission planners and weapon operators regarding the capabilities, lethality and performance of weapon systems. The Emerging Weapons Technology Evaluation Model willaddress these shortcomings by providing users of varying technical expertise 1) the ability to model a variety of weapons in various mission scenario ...

The overall goal of this program is to build a compact, lightweight, portable laboratory kit that can be used to analyze chemistries, cell counts, parasites, bacteria, and other pathogens in blood, urine, and body fluids. Our proposed Portable Micro-Lab(PML) kit will be composed of two sub-systems:1) Environmentally stable microdot test strips smaller than a stick of chewing gum and containing th ...

Multilayer chemical protective gloves that provide 24 hours of protection against chemical warfare agents while being more resistant to petroleum oils and flames than the currently used butyl rubber gloves will be developed. This will be achieved usingaqueous nanocomposite elastomeric coatings specially formulated for use in newly designed multilayer gloves. In phase 1, InMat demonstrated that a f ...

The Phase II effort builds on Phase I. Phase II starts with an integrated product and process design and engineering analysis of the baseline structure described in the Phase I report and variants that may reduce cost and risk. The emphasis is on use ofnonlinear FEA with continuum analysis to handle stiffeners, window frames, and connectors. After review and approval by SOCOM, the design is fab ...

The goal of the proposed research is to develop a highly sensitive and specific amplification system that can be coupled to any pathogen detection and quantification unit for sensitive real-time detection of biological warfare agents. The system is builtaround a dual-enzyme substrate-recycling electrochemical amplification system coupled to an immunoassay detection technology that has already been ...

The combat load for today's individual Special Operations Forces warfighter is 100 pounds or more, which is unacceptably high. Lighter loads will reduce SOF operator fatigue, and increase his ability to move greater distances in a shorter time than ispossible today. As a solution to this problem, we propose to design a self-mobile trailer, a robotic

Policell Technologies Inc. proposes 6 month research effort to demonstrate the feasibility of replacing the lithium BA-5590 with a rechargeable battery. It is proposed to design and develop basic pouch lithium-ion cells that are suitable for assembly ofBA-5590 battery and deliver some basic pouch cells to SOCOM by the end of the Phase I program. The battery system will be based on Policell Technol ...
