The objective of this program is the development of a fibrin tissue adhesive which will be usable under battlefield conditions. The new adhesive will be a blood activated, single agent system which is applied directly to the site of bleeding. It consists chiefly of a mixture of fibrin monomer and tissue fibronectin which will form an adherent fibrin clot on contact with bleeding tissue. The Phase ...

This exploratory development program is a study of existing means of attaching hardware to composite materials in general. Special attention for mounting racks, brackets, modular armor and other types of equipment and hardware on combat and tactical vehicle will be provided. These vehicles use all types and shapes of composite structure including: solid laminates, thin wall composites, pultrusion, ...

This proposed effort is to evaluate the various Multichip Module technologies available in term of technology maturity and ability to manufacture large scale production quantities with a supply base that will allow the military ground vehicle manufacturers and automobile industry to include this technology in thier designs for antiskid brake systems and traction control systems. The technology app ...

The objective of this work is the development of 3 - 5 micron sensors operating at temperatures from 30C to 70C, for use in Space-Based Surveillance Systems without the use of Cryo-coolers, or uncooled. It is based on a major breakthrough achieved at Xacton. This has led to the fabrication of wafers of Mercury Cadmium Telluride with a very high level of crystalline perfection, very low defect dens ...

Survival rates for medical trauma caused either in the military battlefield or at a civilian injury scene decrease dramatically if treatment is delayed for more than one hour. The ability to remotely sense and assess the severity of wounds would enhance support decisions to plan and manage overall responses. The objective in Phase I is to design a smart textile capable of being remotely interrogat ...
