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 ...

In the EO (Earth Observation) market, both DoD and commercial customers are increasingly sensitive to “quality of product” (an image) and receiving that image or data in near real-time. Spaceborne SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) is a discipline within radar that can be used to create high-resolution 3-D images of landscapes, ships, moving vehicle, walkers, aircraft, etc. Unlike an optical senso ...

Modern lithium ion batteries are known for their poor safety performance, with many reports of battery failure and fire having been reported. One of the major causes of battery fire is from the use of flammable solvents, such as organic carbonates, as the electrolyte. These hazards have long limited the usage of batteries in dangerous conditions, such as on the battlefield. To combat this issue, t ...

This DARPA-STTR program aims to research and develop a computational and theoretical framework to assess the extent of asymmetric visibility through an externally tunable nanoparticle-based obscurant cloud, and how much such asymmetry can be enhanced by using a computational backend. Essentially, we will explore how the previous knowledge of the statistics of the obscurant can help the computation ...

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been used extensively for DoD firefighting applications due to their thermochemical stability and unique properties. PFAS are recalcitrant environmental pollutants and bioaccumulative toxins, presenting DoD installations with significant environmental compliance and remediation challenges. The most significant PFAS issues are a direct result of aqueo ...

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 ...

In an effort to maintain the advantage of today’s SOF operators, a new weapon mounted laser pointer and illuminator system with laser range finding capability out to 900 meters is proposed. To increase survivability and lethality of the operator, the system will minimize size and weight while improving performance, reliability and operability. The development of a new laser based variable diverg ...
