"As the military assumes more missions involving operations other than war (including humanitarian operations and support to domestic authorities), more of our military leaders will need to become proficient in coalition and collaborative leadershipenvironments. Success in such operations, including multinational and multi-agency operations, increasingly depends not only on teamwork within the lea ...

We propose to capitalize on the success of the Phase-I effort and develop a unique next generation three-dimensional DPIV system with the capability to resolve quantitatively with sub-pixel accuracy, both velocity and size of poly-dispersed multi- phase flows. This system is going to be unique compared with existing commercial systems in several aspects. Specifically, there is no commercially avai ...

"The team of Artis, LLC, Noesis, Inc. and Brandeis University will address four objectives in Phase I. First, we will develop a system, the Virtual Motion Induction System (VMIS), that couples the sensed motion in the environment to a simulatedenvironment. The purpose of VMIS is to reduce the onset and severity of motion side effects. Second, we will test VMIS on multiple laboratory motion plat ...

"Current commercial market offers many products that may form the basis from which to proceed, these devices were not designed with the original intent to perform in the austere environment of combat by minimally trained personnel where evacuation andaccess to higher echelons of medical care are likely to be significantly delayed. The overarching challenge will be to design robust light-weight an ...

The pervasiveness of handheld devices makes computational power available in diverse settings where computers were once impractical. The power of handheld devices could be improved even further if executable applications were downloaded on demand from the Internet, instead of being stored full-time in the limited memory of the handheld. However, downloading new software on demand leads to greatly ...

Cyrano Sciences, Inc. proposes to develop and demonstrate a distributed sensor network that uses arrays of traditional and non-traditional detectors with data fusion to improve system performance and to perform a real-time survery of the fire ground to better protect and inform firefighters. Each node consists of multiple detectors, including a polymer-composite sensor array and other detectors, t ...

"The proposed program will prototype an approach to monitoring Military Health System Data Repository (MDR) and other data, thereby enabling the early detection of potential BW/BT attacks. The proposed project will develop and integrate diverse biologicalmodeling and data mining information systems technologies through the development of an Automated Anomaly Detection Processor. The envisioned net ...

Data collection electronics used for monitoring meteorological and oceanographic sensors onboard remote vessels and/or at coastal facilities can be significantly enhanced by the development of wireless enabled monitoring systems, especially those with implementation costs and performance characteristics comparable to current 'wired' approaches. Furthermore, all situations where a reliable, low cos ...

"This proposal focuses on computational algorithms for an Expert System that interprets data from a suite of wearable physiologic sensors to infer a soldier's current clinical state on the battlefield. There is a pressing need in the military for such atool, in consideration of the high level of casualty in the battlefield that could be avoided through a prompt identification of the wounded and a ...

"There is an acute need to rapidly detect cancer markers and help diagnose cancer at the earliest stage possible. The objective of this Phase I proposal is to demonstrate the feasibility of developing a simple point-of-care diagnostic tool for the detectionof cancer markers. Early diagnosis of prostate, ovarian, breast and other cancers will allow the physician to intervene earlier in the cancer ...
