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 ...

There are currently no vaccines or therapeutics available for Marburg Virus Disease (MVD). Given the specter of weaponization and the terriblemorbidity and high mortality rate of MVD, this represents a critical threat to the operational readiness of the Warfighter. While traditionalvaccines have proven to be a huge contribution to public health, they do have some limitations especially in the cont ...

Marburg virus (MARV) is a filamentous enveloped non-segmented negative sense RNA virus. This viruse is considered to be extremelydangerous with case fatality rates as high as 88-90%. Extensive efforts have gone towards effective vaccines for MARV prevention, however,none have been successfully established as licensed vaccines. Glycoprotein (GP) is the only surface protein of MARV. There are substa ...

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 ...

The introduction of substandard or counterfeit materials into the DoD supply chain can have extremely expensive, and potentially life threatening, consequences. Current techniques used to detect nonconforming materiel can be destructive (e.g., manual sectioning and inspection of a part), time consuming and expensive (e.g., micro-computed tomography, ultrasound), or provide only limited informatio ...

Recognizing faces in low-light and nighttime conditions is a challenging problem due to the noisy and poor quality nature of the images.Thermal imaging is often used to obtain facial biometric in such conditions. Thermal face images, while having a strong signature at nighttime, are not typically maintained in biometric-enabled watch lists and so must be compared with visible-light face images to ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

As electronic warfare (EW) permeates down to the small unit operations (e.g., with the proliferation of IoT devices, 5G, demand for multidomain spectrum management, and adversaries who can leverage or attack these components with malice), there is a need to bolster Operator's shared situation awareness (SSA) of the EW space that overlays the physical battlefield to enable a small unit multidomain ...
