Service members deployed worldwide are at risk of exposures to local environmental and industrial toxicants which can potentially result in long-term adverse health effects. Understanding the impact of these exposures is critical for improved force protection and safeguarding individual soldier health. Capturing and classifying exposure data is essential for implementing risk mitigation strategies ...

Dignitas’ overall objective for Phase II is to enhance Cyber training capabilities by developing the Intelligent Cyber Adversaries Tool Suite (ICATS), a capable and flexible intelligent cyber adversary as a training tool for a target system such as OneSAF while looking forward to plans for next generation training system. ICATS provides automated cyber adversaries that conduct OPFOR defensive an ...

Joint reduction is a key skill and is a core competency for orthopedic surgeons deploying as part of a trauma team. Current training options are limited to classroom instruction on uninjured persons due to lack of a suitable training simulator. The first

he objective of this SBIR program is to design and demonstrate an unobtrusive sensor system that measures the strain and force transferred through parachute riser fabric during a paratrooper jump. This instrumentation will provide a means to measure and record the force experienced by the risers of static line and free fall personnel parachutes. It will increase parachute safety and reduce the tim ...

This proposed SBIR effort specifically aims to further optimize a highly innovative new approach termed 3IN1 for the stabilization, preservation and concentration of disease markers within serum or urine samples for later serological diagnosis. 3IN1 could potentially enable bridging the existing challenges in the need for a cold chain for transportation of clinical specimens from the point-of-coll ...

This Army Phase II SBIR program would develop high frequency, interchangeable multi-axis nanomembrane (NM) based pressure sensors and fiber optic-based temperature sensors for ballistic systems, using SOI (Silicon on Insulator) NM techniques in combination with our fiber optic sensors. Such tailored-modulus (0.1 MPa to 5 GPa), conformal nanomembrane sensors with interchangeable fiber optic sensor ...

This project will develop a new scientific instrument optimized for the advanced characterization of near-infrared fluorescent nanoparticles that can exist as left- or right-handed structures (enantiomers). Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are the leading current example of such nanomaterials. Applied NanoFluorescence, LLC (ANF) proposes a novel multi-mode chiroptical spectrometer that can ...

Tiger Tech Solutions, Inc. has developed a unique professional quality biomedical wearable monitoring system. The consumer-oriented devices available on the market today are not suitable for the needs of the warfighter. The Tiger Tech Warfighter Monitor (

There are embedded control systems throughout our combat systems, including thousands of programable logic controllers (PLCs) installed in various defense systems such as ground based defense, aircraft, land vehicles and combat ships. These systems are not typically connected to a network yet are vulnerable to cyber-attack through other various mechanisms. There is currently no way to quickly and ...

Self-driving cars are coming. Building on the successes of the DARPA Grand Challenge and Urban Challenge autonomous vehicle competitions, commercial companies such as Tesla, Uber, Google, and others, have invested hundreds of millions of dollars and achieved millions of road hours of autonomous operation. In the meantime, driver safety aids that detect lane departures and cars in the driver’s bl ...
