One of the hallmarks of our modern world is the increasing ubiquity of sensors and platforms deployed in complex environments. On the battlefield, there are a wide variety of sensors integrated with platforms ranging from large vehicles, such as the NBCRV, to drones, ground robots, light tactical off road vehicles, and on the Warfighters themselves. Collecting, correlating, analyzing, and communic ...

There is an urgent need to rapidly test warfighters and their surrounding environment for disease-causing pathogens such as SARS-CoV-2. Existing methods for identifying pathogens in people usually require significant time and sample preparation. In addition, detecting pathogens such as SARS-CoV-2 in the air presents an even greater challenge. To meet the DoD need for field portable bioaerosol iden ...

To meet CBD’s need for a multi-dose formulation of scopolamine hydrobromide trihydrite ChromoLogic proposes to develop a vial add-on containing a self-decontamination cap with a self-healing material to eliminate evaporation and contamination risks through needle punctures in the septum. CL will also perform forced degradation and stability tests with a panel of preservatives to select optimal p ...

The Joint Project Manager for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Medical (JPM CBRN Medical) seeks to develop dermal dressing technologies that provide multiple advantages over current wound dressings for treating dermal injuries caused by sulfur mustard. Critical Innovations, Battelle's Biomedical Research Center, and NDA Partners, with consultants Captain David Tanen, MD, FAAEM, FACM ...

The proposal is to perform a feasibility study on the creation of an ultra-secure communications system with LPD / LPI and AJ, data rates above 1 Gbps, and SWAP low enough for man portable battery powered operation. This study will look at adaption commercial LEO backhaul waveforms to be ultra-secure, using sate of the art hardware like the Xilinx RF SoC and the Dujud 3D printed conformal phased a ...

To address the CBD’s need for an augmented reality (AR) display that shows chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear (CBRN), and electro-optical/infrared (CBRNE) threats, Intellisense Systems, Inc. (Intellisense) proposes to develop a new CBRNE Augmented Reality Display and Device Integration Network (CARDDIN), based on a modular network that incorporates CBRNE and geolocation information from ...

When there is a contested environment, and SOCOM needs no-compromise ultra-secure communications, the IERUS Technologies Low-SWaP Ultra-Secure Tactical OTM Communication System (LUTOCS) is there. Utilizing an open agile architecture based on software defined radio (SDR) technology to implement advanced software and hardware solutions, the system is tailored for optimal performance in dynamic situa ...

This proposal addresses the algorithm research and development of structure and iterative discovery for image detection, identification, annotation, and understanding. Our approach is inspired from the ability of humans to encapsulate and develop mental models and the ability of AI to algorithmically learn and contribute to the identification of features, textures, and salient and camouflaged char ...

The ubiquity of image sensors for data collection creates a glut of data, which leads to bottlenecks in the processing capabilities of modern systems. In order to process this data, meticulously labeled datasets are required and that must be reviewed by humans in order to guarantee state-of-the-art performance. In this effort we endeavor to create a system that can automatically exploit salient in ...

TP Engineering personnel have extensive experience with electro-optic systems and high Pulse Repetition Frequency (PRF) Laser systems. We have detailed knowledge of Pockels cell systems enabling active gated imaging through foliage at PRF 100 kHz PRF. Such systems can dramatically improve and protect Geiger-mode LIDAR by both controlling the transmitter output and gating out unwanted return lig ...
