VR Rehab, Inc. (VRR) HoloWarrior™:CBRN system’s intuitive AR/MR 3D visualizations enables enhanced CBRN situational awareness for better and faster decision making while also reducing cognitive workload. This CBD/DTRA sponsored Phase-II will quantify the large-scale performance increases and usability optimizations. Benefits are anticipated to align with our similar AR/MR visualizations large- ...

Chemical warfare agents (CWAs) continue to represent a significant threat with their high toxicity levels. Current protective layers provide a good adsorbent, but not a reactive layer and are thus not an efficient detoxifier for CWAs. Metal-organic framework (MOF) materials show great promise to integrate a reactive component to actively decompose, or detoxify but they are difficult to integrate d ...

The technology pathway to transition the successful CO2 removal system into small-scale production, and address technical hurdles associated with manufacturing, is outlined in this proposal. The electrochemical CO2 removal system generates no heat as it separates CO2 from the humid breathing gas mixture. In parallel, a breath monitoring micro-sensor array to measure temperature, humidity, CO2, and ...

Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBAs) protect soldiers and civilian personnel from malicious or natural environmental threats. Scott Aviation first introduced the Air-Pack in 1945. Since then no breakthrough technologies have been introduced to improve this system. Mainstream is developing a range of multi-faceted breakthrough technologies for SCBAs.We are currently demonstrating prototypes f ...

This proposal outlines Mainstreams successful Phase I feasibility demonstration related to the fabrication of hierarchical hybrid nanomaterials for oxygen storage vessels. These vessels exceed the volumetric and gravimetric storage capacity of an oxygen cylinder by 245% and 170%, respectively. Included in these storage density values is a solid-state oxygen regulation system that also enables comp ...

This proposal outlines the successful demonstration of electrochemical CO2 removal that generates virtually no heat, from a humid breathing gas mixture. Mainstream evaluated micro-sensors for monitoring temperature, humidity, CO2, and O2 for breath monitoring for the self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Advanced CO2 separating technology combined with micro-sensors and controls allows for op ...

The proposed Phase II SBIR program is dedicated to the creation and testing of a multispecific DNA biowarfare sensor based on ultrathin oligonucleotide-modified conducting polymer films. Based on the reagent-free sensor prototype developed in Phase I, wh
