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 ...

Based on the extensive theoretical and experimental studies carried out in support of the CANVS/SOCOM Phase-I contract, CANVS has determined what hardware it will deliver under the Phase-II effort. The proposed system configurations were arrived at througha series of decisions taking into account form, fit, function, and the ability for rapid transition into production.

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 ...

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 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 ...

In the proposed effort, KAC will establish a process for reverse engineering and redesigning foreign weapons, primarily the 7.62x54R PKM and the 12.7x108mm NSV. Our engineers will use laser scanning to reverse engineer weapons from our on-site museum. We will reverse engineer the bolt from the PKM in order to demonstrate the viability of the laser scanner, our engineers, and our machine shop to co ...

AimLock will prototype and test an integrated system of its automated targeting (optical based remote weapon station) hard-kill system and a radar-based early warning and locator system from C-Speed (or similar) for rapid counter-UAS missions. This work will build upon AimLock's already demonstrated hard-kill capability and C-Speed's long range radar detection and classification by automating the ...

The military combat eye protection (MCEP) program is designed to protect our soldiers' eyes from the external threats of fragmentation, electromagnetic radiation, wind, dust, sand, etc. and greatly improve both safety and operational effectiveness. Goggles and spectacles on the Militarys authorized protective eyewear list (APEL), however, are only effective if the soldier is wearing them. Fogging ...
