Traditional military command & control (C2) usually evokes images of operators in command posts centers. But what about the mounted or dismounted soldier trying to get from A to B without getting blown up? It's C2 as well, just a different scale. The digital battlefield provides an explosion of information to gain a tactical advantage over the adversary but it's challenging. That challenge is ...

Compared to fighting in the open field, military operations in urban terrain is the greater challenge. It's riskier and costlier in manpower, assets, and time. Warfighting in cities adds so many challenges that most commanders would prefer to bypass population centers. But that is not always possible. 21st Century Systems, Inc. believes there is a timely opportunity to provide the urban commander ...

Compared to fighting in the open field, military operations in urban terrain (i.e., man-made, built-up areas) is the greater challenge. It is riskier and costlier in manpower, resources, and time. The urban environment easily provides the in-place enemy with settings for ambush, places to hide, civilians as shields for unscrupulous use, and many escape routes - above and below ground. Warfighti ...

Alameda Applied Sciences Corporation proposes to design in Phase I a pulsed neutron source based on dense plasma focus (DPF) technology that is practical for thermal neutron radiography. A fully operational source will be fabricated in Phase II. The neutron production/pulse by available sources and the resultant thermal flux on target are estimated to be about five orders of magnitude below what i ...

This proposal seeks to gather a set of data and develop processing and classification algorithms that can be used to detect and identify side attack mines at standoff distances. Data will be collected with a distributed network of wideband radar sensors which is currently in development. Algorithm development will focus on detecting the material composition and resonant response of side attack m ...

The goal of this proposal is to develop a brassboard imaging radar system capable of detecting side attack munitions at standoff distances and operational rates of advance.

Scrub typhus, caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi poses a threat to U.S. forces deployed to the Asian/Australian/Pacific regions during contingency and peacekeeping operations. Development of an assay for the detection of O. tsutsugamushi that is rapid, accurate, field-usable and soldier-friendly is therefore a high priority for the DoD. In its Phase I effort, Access Bio demonstrated the feasibili ...

The first objective of Phase II is to validate the ready-to-use DNA-based dengue diagnostics kit under laboratory conditions using culture-derived dengue viruses as well as clinically confirmed dengue infected samples from different geographic origins. These prototype products will be developed for military and civilian settings which have ideal laboratory conditions. The second objective of Phase ...

Acellent Technologies proposes to develop an innovative one-of-a-kind sensor cluster based structural health monitoring system that combines Acellent's current single-element SMART Layer actuator/sensor network together with multi-element phased arrays to produce a Sensor Cluster Network. The proposed system is being developed to (a) Quantitatively assess structural damage such as cracks due to fa ...
