Award Data

High-purity germanium (Ge) is manufactured into infrared (IR) lenses for most DoD night sight IR optics, thermal imaging systems, and IR tracking systems in combat vehicles. A recent report by Umicore (ADA’s partner for this proposed project) identifies several current and future needs for Ge, showing growing needs in the middle of severe shortfall. These applications are essential for tracking ...

The Defense Health Agency has identified the need for an advanced computing and networking capability to support unfettered operation of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) systems in delayed/disconnected, intermittently-connected, low-bandwidth (DIL) enviro

In the proposed effort, KAC will establish a process for reverse engineering and redesigning foreign weapons, primarily the 7.62x54R PKM and the 12.7x108mm NSV. Our engineers will use laser scanning to reverse engineer weapons from our on-site museum. We will reverse engineer the bolt from the PKM in order to demonstrate the viability of the laser scanner, our engineers, and our machine shop to co ...

The proposed Group 2 UAS is a long endurance fixed wing aircraft, a secure communications system and a portable ground station. The light weight aircraft features a high aspect ratio wing and is powered by an electric ducted fan for maximum efficiency. The modular aircraft system is one man portable and designed to be packed out on a molle backpack configuration. The conceptual airframe design ...

The objective of this proposal is to demonstrate the feasibility of producing molded polyurethane viscoelastic foam ear seals with an integral skin, that we call Contoured Foam Pads (CFPs). These CFPs will have a surface profile that has targeted conformability around obstacles that results in an improved acoustic seal around eyeglasses from the military Approved Protective Eyewear List (APEL) and ...

The published data has demonstrated that the currently available resuscitation fluids have detrimental effects on trauma outcomes.By addressing these deficiencies it is expected that the outcomes will improve. The crystalloid based resuscitation fluid in development by GanD Inc. has been designed to address all of the shortcomings of the currently available solutions.The solution, GND-001, is a cr ...

Currently, deployed medics are required to transport, maintain and be resupplied with liquid-based medications and materials that are heavy, expensive to transport, perishable and may require refrigeration.Many medications and materials are or will be available in concentrated or dehydrated formularies that require sterile water for injection (SWFI) to rehydrate for immediate use, such as Lactated ...

Increased competition and improved lead times are desired by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) for Aircraft Launch and Recovery Equipment (ALRE) Critical Safety/Critical Application Items (CSI/CAI). Ten ALRE National Stock Number (NSN) items were identified with annual demand values over $10,000 with two or fewer approved sources.Mainstream Engineering has carefully reviewed the ten NSNs provided ...

Increased competition and improved lead times are desired by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) for Land and Maritime Hard to Source Items (HSIs). Three National Stock Number (NSN) / part number (PN) combinations were identified with annual demand values over $10,000 with fewer than two approved sources.Mainstream Engineering has carefully reviewed the NSN/PN combinations provided in the solicitat ...

AimLock will prototype and test an integrated system of its automated targeting (optical based remote weapon station) hard-kill system and a radar-based early warning and locator system from C-Speed (or similar) for rapid counter-UAS missions. This work will build upon AimLock's already demonstrated hard-kill capability and C-Speed's long range radar detection and classification by automating the ...
