To address the Chemical and Biological Defense (CBD) agency’s need for a new deep learning (DL)-based threat detection solution that fuses imaging sensors and chemical/biological sensors to detect and locate concealed chemical threats, Intellisense Systems, Inc. (Intellisense) proposes development of a new Chemical-Imaging Registration and Multimodal Analysis (CIGMA) solution. CIGMA will compris ...

The recent COVID-19 world pandemic demonstrates most effectively the urgent need for near real-time detection of ambient airborne pathogens. It has been demonstrated that electrospray ionization, utilized in many mass spectrometers today, has the unique ability to capture bioaerosols non-destructively out of the air for subsequent interrogation. This proposal leverages on this electrospray capture ...

The modern warfare environment has demonstrated an ever-increasing need for electrical power and energy carrying capacity. Soldiers are now expected to carry in excess of 20lbs of batteries for a 72-hour mission. This weight only increases when operating specialized equipment such as communication, targeting, or mobility equipment. As a consequence, lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery packs have become t ...

To meet CBD’s need for a multi-dose formulation of scopolamine hydrobromide trihydrite ChromoLogic proposes to develop a vial add-on containing a self-decontamination cap with a self-healing material to eliminate evaporation and contamination risks through needle punctures in the septum. CL will also perform forced degradation and stability tests with a panel of preservatives to select optimal p ...

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 ...

Quantum technology will become a key enabler of future Air Force superiority. Topological insulator (TI) qubits are inherently stable and fault-tolerant because they exploit local topological symmetries and global boundary conditions of chalcogenide materials to yield unique, emergent quantum states. Wake Forest University and Streamline Automation have been working collaboratively for the last se ...

The Joint Project Manager for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Medical (JPM CBRN Medical) seeks to develop dermal dressing technologies that provide multiple advantages over current wound dressings for treating dermal injuries caused by sulfur mustard. Critical Innovations, Battelle's Biomedical Research Center, and NDA Partners, with consultants Captain David Tanen, MD, FAAEM, FACM ...

The proposal is to perform a feasibility study on the creation of an ultra-secure communications system with LPD / LPI and AJ, data rates above 1 Gbps, and SWAP low enough for man portable battery powered operation. This study will look at adaption commercial LEO backhaul waveforms to be ultra-secure, using sate of the art hardware like the Xilinx RF SoC and the Dujud 3D printed conformal phased a ...
