There are currently no vaccines or therapeutics available for Marburg Virus Disease (MVD). Given the specter of weaponization and the terrible morbidity and high mortality rate of MVD, this represents a critical threat to the operational readiness of the Warfighter. While traditional vaccines have contributed greatly to public health, they have some limitations especially in the context of operati ...

As the carry and protective gear of the modern war fighter increases, the burden on the human body will necessarily increase. In our present TALOS MkIII project, we are developing lower body augmentation to preserve speed and agility while bearing this weight. Yet we cannot ignore the impact of this weight on the upper body: in this project we propose to develop an upper body exoskeleton with p ...

Multi-Dimensional Event Sourcing & Correlation - Publicly Available Information (PAI) (MDESC-P) will support collection jointly across disparate PAI sources with coordinated cueing of more constrained intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance (ISTAR) sources. The primary objective for MDESC-P is to deliver a scalable and automated PAI collection management solution using a ...

Opioids, especially synthetic opioids, are a constant threat to the safety of civilian first responders; there are now serious concerns about their use in modern chemical warfare. Fentanyl and its many analogues (carfentanil, remifentanil, lofentanil, mefentanil, sufentanil, etc.) are extremely hazardous—if ingested or inhaled, many synthetic opioids cause lethal intoxication with only a few gra ...

Deep Labs recognizes USSOCOM’s challenge to process multiple data and communications inputs for optimized decision making, and to support rapid on-the-move abilities to learn and communicate knowledge to enhance tactically relevant situational awareness in peer/near peer environments. Deep Labs has proven this capability across complex challenges in the world’s largest commercial enterprises a ...

Satellite Imagery in Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT), in conjunction with imagery intelligence (IMINT), geospatial information, and other means of gaining intelligence, has greatly improved the potential of the warfighter and decision makers enabling them to gain a more comprehensive perspective, an in-depth understanding, and a cross-functional awareness of the operational environment. The Artif ...

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 ...

Triton Systems, Inc. will collaborate with The University of Massachusetts Lowell to develop a spray-based technology for the rapid, visual identification of opioids, turning contaminated areas from nondescript white powders to a brightly colored spots for easy recognition with the naked eye. The technology leverages molecular recognition units that bind strongly and specifically to a variety of o ...

The US requires standoff precision strike capabilities in GPS-denied and high threat environments. This includes fire-and-forget lock-after-launch vision-based guidance for SOPGM. Due to emerging threats, a paradigm shift is occurring in the way we gather intelligence, maintain surveillance, and perform reconnaissance. ISR platforms are evolving, and artificial intelligence is at the forefront of ...

Precision-guided munitions have demonstrated dramatic effects with minimal collateral damage. New technology developed specifically to deny them accurate guidance information is now feasible, even for non-traditional adversaries. Further, digital communications are flooding the air with signals that interfere with communications many guidance methods rely on. Swarms of small, covert small Uncrewed ...
