Award Data

Seismic, hydro acoustic, and infrasonic (SHI) analyses possess many desirable properties, such as long-distance wave propagation and attributable spectral characteristics. They have been, by large, relegated to capturing massive explosions, earthquakes, bolides, and space-bound rocket launches. Although machine learning techniques have been employed on various military and commercial projects, rar ...

Providing timely physical and mental health support to Servicemembers and determining their readiness for duty after mTBI is crucial to maintaining mobility, survivability, lethality, and adaptability of our US Armed Forces. While research indicates that

The goal of medical simulation-based training such as high-fidelity manikin simulators, part task trainers, and screen-based virtual patients, is to approximate real-life treatment experiences without risk to live patients. While the use of sensors has ma

With the advent of high-density low-power sub-20nm technology processes and circuits with tens-of-billions of transistors, radiation-induced single-event effects present a new set of design challenges for terrestrial applications. Developing reliable single-event effect resilient microelectronics in these modern technology nodes is a resource and time-intensive endeavor that further requires valid ...

The increasing complexity of devices, reduced budgets and accelerated program timelines, requires a new approach to predicting radiation of integrated circuit (IC) designs. Most approaches to date require gate level analysis and do not scale easily to device level calculations, leading to methods that are note practical under most program timeline and cost budgets. Previously, DfR Solutions has de ...

To address the scarcity of effective treatments for volumetric muscle loss injuries, we propose a novel aligned multilumen nanofibrillar collagen scaffold loaded with Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF) modified messenger RNA (mmRNA) to direct functional muscl

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 ...

For various defense agencies, DNA profiling can reduce, eliminate and counter threats from unconventional warfare and WMDs. Rapid forensic DNA analysis on suspicious materials can provide crucial information on individuals involved in such activities, and this information can supply national defense personnel and warfighters with increased situational awareness. Currently in forensic DNA profili ...

In order to meet Department of Defense, Defense Health Agency’s (DoD, DHA) need for a field-ready, antiseptic, warming, and pressure relieving casualty transport pad for up to 72 hours of litter evacuation, ChromoLogic proposes to develop an antiseptic, w

Secondary injuries including pressure-induced skin and soft tissue injury (PSSTI) and hypothermia complicate care for wounded soldiers starting from point of wounding up through higher levels of care. A transport pad capable addressing secondary injuries
