Resin transfer molding (RTM) is a low-cost composites fabrication method used in many commercial products and secondary aircraft structures such as doors. This project investigates a low-cost concept for fabricating higher strength RTM composites enabling their use in primary aircraft structures. The approach uses discrete fiber reinforcements positioned transverse to fabric or through a stiffen ...

We propose to design and develop a wireless, light-weight biomedical data acquisition, transmission, and reception system for the interpretation of bioelectrical signals. Examples of biosensing includes sensors measuring voltage signals such as EEG, EKG, EMG, pulse oximetry, blood pressure, and capnography. The proposed WISP system will provide use in battlefield management, in home health care, ...

The proof of concept research explores the potential for integrating the following four 'personal devices's () baseline IFF personal device () data applique interface to field processors () audio applique interface to voice headset or audio monitor () video applique interface to camera and display into a single, wearable non-line of sight spread spectrum IFF, tracking and duplex multimedia com ...

Acquisition of metrically-accurate imagery under field conditions is of growing importance in DoD applications such as 3-D scene reconstruction, but current methods are ad-hoc and costly because no existing products combine metrically accurate sensors with high-precision position and pose data. General Reality Corporation (GRC) and subcontractor Korbin Systems Incorporated (KSI) propose to solve ...

The Virtual Environment Training for Battlefield Medical Personnel (VETBMP) project is the development of a simulation architecture designed to integrate procedural simulations, intelligent tutoring, and various sensory input devices to create a realistic training scenario for 'forward' military personnel. Phase I of VETBMP will be a simulation of a standard medic task (intravenous infusion), emb ...

During the proposed phase I research program, Brimrose will develop and produce an improved material for optical power limiting to protect against jamming and build a prototype of this device. Using vanadium doped zinc telluride, we will fabricate an electro-optic power limiter (EOPL) that operates at visible wavelengths. The approach of using a doped II-VI semiconductor for power limiting was p ...

Workflow Processes are used to organize and control information access and processing in networked computing environments. There is a need to begin developing standards and mechanisms that can be used to provide dynamic, configurable, secure, and verifiable workflow systems. In a multi-user, multi-source, multi-classification environment, robust security is anything but simple. We propose to i ...
