To meet Department of Defense needs for a cyber deception capability, Grier Forensics proposes building a cyber deception system based on our AVENGE Avatar Engine.Using AVENGE, commanders will be able to provide false information that will confuse, delay, and impede attackers, with only minimal impact to legitimate users and friendly forces.AVENGE will be developed to provide multidimensional dece ...

The novel RFCAT technology will allow for safe and rapid decontamination of biological agents on railroad and subway cars. The technology creates biocidal conditions on external and internal surfaces of the rail and subway cars. The technology has been demonstrated on building materials and will be modified for the surfaces found in rail and subway cars. Additionally the system will kill odor and ...

Small drinking water systems consistently provide safe, reliable drinking water to their customers; however challenges of such systems include; lack of financial resources, aging infrastructure, lack of scale, and technical/logistical challenges associated with regulation compliance. The deployment ofnew cost-effective monitoring technologies hold opportunities to substantially advance infrastruct ...

Polyurethanes are now made by reacting two components, one of which has toxic isocyanate groups. Isocyanates are especially hazardous to workers that spray-apply polyurethane paints. Researchers have developed less hazardous ways to make polyurethane, but they have poor performance, cure too slowly or are too expensive. In this project, TDA Research, Inc. (TDA) will develop new non-isocyanate two- ...

The Phase II strategy proposed provides for the development and optimization of a feasible, rapidly scalable, single-use manufacturing platform for the production of a mAb directed against Marburgvirus. Application of BioFactura’s StableFast patented manufacturing platform will result in an economically-produced mAb therapeutic with consistent, targeted properties for safety and efficacy. Charac ...

Military working dogs (MWDs) have been an integral part of the US military since its inception. Currently, these working dogs are assigned to every branch of the US military and are deployed worldwide. These dogs are frequently deployed into military field environments that can at times be quite hazardous. Current decontamination protocols for military working dogs are limited and fail to address ...

Antibiotic resistant bacteria have become a major concern in discharges from hospitals, wastewater treatment plants, and agricultural runoff. A quick, inexpensive, field- deployable method of detecting antibiotic resistant bacteria in these waters is desirable. Antibiotic resistant bacteria of concern include Salmonella, Staphylococci, E. coli, Enterococci, and coliform bacteria, among others. A p ...

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) occur when the population of cyanobacteria in fresh or salt water explodes. HABs cause $14B in damages every year world-wide, because cyanobacteria release toxins into the water that threaten humans, livestock and native aquatic life. The only way to mitigate the damage from HABs is to detect them early and treat them with algicides as soon as possible. The problem is t ...

This Small Business Innovation Research project addresses the development of novel low-cost multiparameter sensors that use a new lab-on-a-chip technology platform for enabling real-time, on-line and maintenance-free deployments within water distribution systems as well as most water collection systems (i.e., storm water, grey water, etc.). At the present time, increasingly stringent local, state, ...

The Environmental Protection Agency is soliciting innovations in paint and coating removal products to replace harmful methylene chloride and N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) chemicals widely used by industry and consumers. There are substantive health risks to workers and consumers who use methylene chloride and NMP-containing products, as well as to by-standers, include damage to the central nervous sy ...
