Organophosphorus nerve agent attacks are an unfortunate reality of modern warfare. Currently, the standard of care is to use up to three sequential doses of the Antidote Treatment Nerve Agent Autoinjector (ATNAA, which contains atropine sulfate, and 2-pyridine aldoxime chloride (2-PAM)) and an anticonvulsant. For severe cases, this is followed by continued dosing of atropine to block muscarinic ef ...

This project involves building and demonstrating a wireless seismic system for assessing the condition of railroad ballast.The system is designed for portability and ease of use by non-specialized personnel. It is based on the well-known multi-channel analysis of surface waves (MASW) method. The system consists of a seismic source and an array of receivers. The source will be empirically optimized ...

ADA Technologies is proposing to develop a novel and unique system, called MSHAPE, to inspect railroad wheels in extremely fine geometric detail. This portable system, based on off-the-shelf components, will provide manufacturers, operators, maintainers and authorities ultra-high-accuracy measurements (better than .0005”) that will be used to assess the compliance of wheels with strict regulator ...

In the digital information age, data must be shared between systems automatically, securely and effortlessly in order to keep pace with our adversaries. We must be able to get the right information in right hands at the right time. Unfortuntately, this is often not the case, more typcially our operational data is held hostage in our existing legacy system with no way to share the data in a machine ...

The military combat eye protection (MCEP) program is designed to protect our soldiers' eyes from the external threats of fragmentation, electromagnetic radiation, wind, dust, sand, etc. and greatly improve both safety and operational effectiveness. However, the goggles and spectacles on the Military’s authorized protective eyewear list (APEL) are only effective if the soldier is wearing them. Fo ...

Rocky Mountain Scientific Laboratory (RMSL) proposes a novel spotting round with an impact ignitable pyrotechnic core. RMSL previously developed an impact ignitable breaching round with a similar design. RMSL believes this technology can be easily adapted and optimized for a spotting round. The spotting round would contain an impact ignitable formulation designed to produce a bright flash upon imp ...

SOF combat swimmers have a need for the continuous monitoring of each others relative position while diving and for the capability of being able to communicate with each other to help establish a common operational picture (COP).The C3SA system was previously developed under SBIR Topic SOCOM08-001 thru the receipt of both Phase I and Phase II SBIR awards.The C3SA established a stand-alone network ...

Hemorrhage is the leading cause of preventable death in combat, and damage control resuscitation (DCR) research has shown that plasma is a superior resuscitation fluid for severely injured, bleeding canine casualties.However, cold chain requirements make managing fresh frozen plasma (FFP) supply logistics difficult in austere environments.Limited supplies of pathogen reduced freeze-dried plasma (F ...
