"The goal of this program is to develop a small, inexpensive, rugged, easy-to-use Sub-Web Meteorological Monitoring System to collect environmental data and transmit these data to a Central Node. Meteorological stations that can measure atmospheric andenvironmental information are needed for battlefield awareness. Sensors to measure the following meteorological parameters were evaluated in Phase ...

"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 ...

"Army Transformation efforts and the ongoing digitization of the battlespace have created a situation where much of the data needed to create automated AAR products in training environments is now available in actual combat environments. Using AAR systemsas operational tools, we now have the opportunity to provide military organizations with AAR-like products and operational feedback in time for ...

"This proposal is submitted to topic area of interest "Area 1: Auxiliary components for balance-of-plant".Mesoscopic Devices proposes to develop a high-pressure air blower that improves power density and efficiency by as much as 50% over competing approaches. Recent advances in fuel cells demonstrate their potential to be the basis for compact and lightweightperson-portable power sources. Howeve ...

"Mesoscopic Devices proposes to design and demonstrate an advanced, portable fuel desulfurizer in response to the topic area of interest "Area 2: Technology for handling fuels and processing fuels to meet fuel cell requirements." The proposed portabledesulfurizer can utilize sulfur sorbents many times more efficiently than typical fixed bed, moving bed, or even fluidized bed approaches. The imp ...

"This proposal to the Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Science & Technology describes an innovative approach to advancing the modeling, simulation and analysis of human cognition. Until now, two orthogonal conceptions have underpinned the modeling andsimulation of human cognition; one focuses on the mental workload that defines cognitive performance, while the other emphasizes the content of ...

"We propose to take a structure, comprehensive, and multi-dimensional look at issues related to cognition, adaptive thinking, and performance under various environmental stressors. More particularly, we will investigate how these constellation of factorsapply to junior leadership performance and actual and potential growth, and how the results of this research can improve skills and leadership tr ...

"Mirum proposes to develop a training intervention that targets the leader and team attributes needed for effectiveness in military multinational teams. This effort will also yield a diagnostic tool that can be used to appraise the need for traininginterventions in multinational teams. Anticipated changes in the military's operating environment argue for the ascendant importance of attributes th ...

"The purpose of the proposed Army Phase II program is to develop and commercialize novel tissue solders based on a biodegradable copolymer system that contains a controlled degree of acrylate-terminated photoactive branch sites. This will result in aprocess that, with the addition of a biocompatible and non-toxic photosensitizer /electron donor initiating system, will rapidly cure from a viscous l ...
