Miniature munitions fuzes comprising microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) sensors packaged with energetic materials are sought for improving fuze reliability, volume, and cost. For some munitions, MEMS fuses may reduce unexploded ordnance rates by an order of magnitude and provide space for extra propellant or explosive to increase range or effect. Creare proposes to develop a wafer-level assembl ...

Creare is developing a miniature power system for NOA weather monitoring stations in remote locations. This system can provide electric power continuously from naturally occurring temperature differences that exist between ambient air and water in environments such as the Arctic Ocean and the Great Lakes. Generating power directly from these temperature difference uses the atmosphere and ocean/lat ...

Future space missions will utilize small spacecraft with advanced sensor systems. Cooling of these sensors is required to decrease noise and increase sensitivity by maintaining the detector at a reduced operating temperature. The cooling system comprises a mechanical cryocooler and its control electronics, both of which are critical technologies to enable future missions. Creare proposes to develo ...

CR&D will develop a hand-held, temporary tattoo printer designed to be used to print tattoos on the skin of warfighters at the POI or healthcare facility with the intent of replacing TC3 cards and aftercare instructions respectively. The intent is to eliminate the loss of information resulting from various touch-points along the continuum of care or in the days following outpatient release. The pr ...

Safe operation of the current Navy lighterage system can be performed in Sea State 3 and below. At present, sea state estimation is made by Navy personnel and is dependent on their level of experience.Creare is developing an automated Sea State Predictor (SSP) to provide a more accurate and reliable determination of the current sea state. The system relies on measurement of heave of the warping tu ...

Project Summary / Abstract: COVID-19, the clinical presentation associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection, has already profoundly impacted healthcare systems globally. Of particular note, communities such as long-term care facilities, assisted living communities, and prisons, are being devastated because of their high density of vulnerable individuals. Nursing home residents, which represent only 0.5% ...

The Army requires methods of resolving soil state characteristics that can be integrated into geospatial analysis efforts related to land surface modeling, terrain reasoning, vehicular mobility, and dismounted mobility. To address this need, Creare is developing the SoilMAP software framework. SoilMAP is intended to enable Army geospatial analysts to ingest, fuse, process, and visualize soil moist ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) project is a significant advance in the production of hydrogen peroxide. It is anticipated that this project will yield an on-site generation method that substantially reduces the cost of peroxide production compared to the traditional centralized chemical process. By reducing cost, hydrogen peroxide can be u ...

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Creare and its clinical and research partners propose to develop a software platform, OnTRACK (Online Treatment Recovery Assistance for Concussion in Kids), for children and adolescents recovering from concussion or mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). The platform includes a mobile application (app) for the patients and their care team (parents, teachers, coaches, etc.), a ...

In the Phase I effort, GTL showed that future missile interceptor performance can be substantially increased by the combination of an innovative configuration and a breakthrough composite tank technology. The Phase II effort will include material characterization testing and the fabrication and testing of multiple small-scale tanks. Based on those results, GTL will design, analyze, fabricate and t ...
