Multiple concurrent FMV feeds can provide useful context during special forces missions but the flood of data from disconnected viewpoints can dramatically increase cognitive load on SOF operators. Substantial network bandwidth is also consumed by streaming multiple concurrent video feeds with highly redundant content. Kitware proposes TeleSculptor Multiplex, an approach to combine multiple FMV fe ...

Vivonics is proposing a novel approach to address the needs of a non-invasive and real-time system to measure intracranial pressure (ICP) to support development of medical countermeasures. The proposed Intracranial Pressure Assessment and Screening System for Viral or Bacterial Infections (IPASS-VBI) leverages Vivonics expertise in non-invasively assessing ICP in humans due to traumatic brain inju ...

The standard US military treatment for nerve agent exposure is application of up to three autoinjectors, each containing atropine sulfate and 2-pralidoxime, to counteract symptoms of nerve agent intoxication and restore acetylcholinesterase activity. This treatment increases survival rates after nerve agent exposure, however, seizures resulting from nerve agent poisoning are a common symptom that ...

The project will develop a prototype of a formative assessment dashboard for teachers to view, monitor, and gain insight from students' digital work in mathematics to inform instruction. In Phase I, the team will develop a prototype of the formative assessment tool to support teachers' pedagogical approaches, identify areas for personalized intervention, and plan math discussions that address stud ...

This project will develop transmedia kits including videos, games, creation tools, character cards, and comic books to engage and support Kindergarten to grade five students in learning strategies to understand abstract mathematical topics, such as such as on misconceptions related to place value and multi-digit operations. The kits will be a supplemental resource for elementary teachers looking t ...

The research resulted in the development of a new approach to hyperspectral imaging utilizing Compressive Sensing. The newly conceived snapshot spectral imager will provide spectral data in a very compact package. It will be virtually indistinguishable from a standard infrared camera but with the added capability for spectral measurement. The camera will thus deliver chemical species information m ...

Characterizing and understanding the interactions between human and machine plays an important role in extracting the most out of our machine learning algorithms while reducing human workload. We propose to develop a software prototype system that reduces user workload of exploiting AI algorithms for imagery exploitation. We will design a user-friendly system for content matching with interactive ...

The principal benefit of this project will be the development of materials, processes and designs for the additive manufacture of air purifying respirators. Additive manufacture allows mass personalization of existing systems. For respirators, that design is the unique size and facial structure of each individual warfighter. The ability to personalize respirator design to each unique warfighter wi ...

Metamagnetics proposes to develop prototype bolt-on Auto-tune Filter (AtF) modules that reject strong signals at two tactically-relevant frequency bands.

The flow of equipment, repair parts, and other materiel to the Warfighter is critical to his or her success in the field. As a result of this critical need for materiel, DLA employees must contend with the difficult task of promoting and encouraging the reuse and disposition of excess property. With the advance of e-commerce sites and modern networks, searching a catalog for property has become a ...
