Innoflight will develop a high performance software-defined compact radio (SCR) with Ka and X dual band downlink capability and S Band uplink capability. The Ka / X SCR will support 300 Mbps downlink and 5 Mbps uplinks rates using advanced spectrally efficient waveforms. It will offer interoperability with standard government and commercial ground stations such as the Army RGT (Remote Ground Termi ...

The CONOPS for the Expeditionary Medical Support System (EMEDS) is based on practical effectiveness, speed, and efficiency. Key among the tools required by the Air Mobility Command and the Air Combat Command, which are two of the major commands that are part of the United Air Force is a multi-channel intravenous infusion pump capable of delivering fluids that meets the safe-to-fly criteria for all ...

Sweat contains biomarkers that give an indication of human cognitive levels. In this SBIR project TDA Research is developing a modular sweat sensor patch that has the capability to not only carry out real-time monitoring of select biomarkers, but also to

Researchers are identifying new biomarkers to help monitor cognition and stress in the human body and enhance human performance. Traditional biomarkers like heart rate, temperature, oxygen saturation, blood glucose, electrolyte concentration, etc have bee

In order to meet DHA’s need for in-line, non-invasive and non-destructive cell monitoring in dynamically growing cultures, In Phase I, ChromoLogic (CL) developed a prototype system for cell monitoring by optical coherence tomography (CM-OCT). Following th

Problem: Currently available resuscitation fluids have been shown to induce detrimental effects on trauma outcomes. Objective: The objective of this proposal is to use the data from the successful Phase 1 studies to guide the continued development and te

The Air Force Medical Modeling & Simulation Program has a need for synthetic tissue trainers that replicate live tissues and anatomy. Project targets replacing expensive and often objectionable live animal training. The work will be based on the trainer that was produced during Phase I. The developed trainers will replicate segments of human anatomy and will comprise multiple modular components ...

During the Phase I effort, Proportional Technologies, Inc. developed non-saturating components for a military battlefield dosimeter based on ionization chamber technology. Chambers were thimble-shaped, made out of carbon, and incorporated different materials for the conversion of fast neutrons, thermal neutrons, and gamma radiation. Extensive testing showed that the proposed solution is feasible. ...

In 2010 tinnitus became the most common service-related disability among veterans, with disability benefit costs projected to exceed $2.26 billion by 2014. Methods for objective diagnosis of tinnitus are currently nonexistent and direly needed by the military. QUASAR and Otosound are partnering on this SBIR project to develop an efficient and objective tinnitus diagnostic device. This device ...

Arete Associates and Luminex Corporation propose a Phase II SBIR effort to develop a portable, Point-of-Care system that enables rapid identification of known and de novo pathogens in wounds. The proposed system, which leverages Luminex"s award-winning bead-based multiplexing technology and Arete"s advanced bioinformatics algorithms, provides pathogen identification and antibiotic resistance info ...
