This Small Business Technology Transfer Phase II effort aims to develop a fully integrated, modular human surrogate, a software suite, and wireless data transmission.  The main goals of the Phase II project will be to increase the biofidelity, modularity, and manufacturability of the low-cost, sensor-integrated surrogate developed in Phase I.  In Phase II, the prototype that was developed in Pha ...

This Small Business Technology Transfer Phase I effort aims at the feasibility of developing a low-cost, modular human surrogate including a sensory system and organ models with integrated pressure sensors.  The proposed system will be utilized for evaluating personal protective equipment (PPE).  Current human surrogates are either costly or do not provide adequate pressure measurements. The pr ...

The goal of the proposed Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Sequential Phase II project is to further develop a wearable, three-dimensional (3-D) underwater explosion (UNDEX) blast exposure monitoring system.  To date, there are no wearable blast sensors available to correlate UNDEX blast exposure data to diver injuries.  The uniqueness of the proposed 3-D OmniBlast Water (OBW) sensor is ...

The standoff detection of potential threats to military personnel is of primary importance to the Department of Defense as a whole. Millimeter wave imagers are one class of sensor systems that have been employed for the detection of a variety of threats including chemical/biological agents, improvised explosive devices, land-mines, and unmanned aerial systems (UASs). More specifically, W-band (75 ...

Biomason’s prototype MEDUSA dust abatement system provides a superior performing, logistically lean, and environmentally friendly solution for rapid dust suppression for VTOL operations in austere, forward operating positions. Moreover, base MEDUSA systems and processes may be adapted for utilization in multiple industrial sectors and serve several other key military and civilian use-cases - fro ...

Advanced Materials and Devices, Inc. (AMAD), in a 12-month TRL Booster Pilot effort, will move the development and manufacturing of a wearable, wireless, in-air and underwater sensor from TRL 5-6 to a TRL of 6-7. At the end of the TRL Booster Pilot effort, the wearable sensor will be ready for qualification testing and manufacturing via Phase III funding. At the end of the current Phase II effort ...

This Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I effort will demonstrate the feasibility of using piezoelectric fibers to detect shock waves from underwater explosions (UNDEX) and sensing physiological measures such as heart and respiratory rates on warfighters. Piezoelectric fibers will be characterized for their ability so sense different amplitudes and frequencies of shock and vibration. ...

The purpose of this contract is to develop high affinity antibodies that are specific to Burkholderia surface expressed polysaccharides. These monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) can then be used to develop diagnostics and therapeutics for melioidosis and glanders; two infectious diseases caused by the Tier 1 biothreats Burkholderia pseudomallei and mallei, respectively. The SBIR funded work to date deve ...

There is a critical need for DoD to develop power sources that will increase the mission lifetime for unattended sensors and sensor radio networks. In order to take advantage of recent advances in extremely low power subthreshold circuits to greatly exte...
