The DoD is faced with the national security challenge of developing adversary-exceeding military capabilities, across a variety of possible scenarios and contexts, over an enduring period into the future. This challenge is highly complex but can be addressed using state-of-the-art decision sciences, analytics, and artificial intelligence at both the system and the portfolio capability levels. This ...

During altitude-induced hypoxia, operator cognitive and physical capacity degrades, compromising individual and team performance. Cognitive degradation is linked to falling brain energy levels, increased reliance on anaerobic energy production and lactate accumulation. Ketones are the evolutionary alternative substrate to glucose for brain metabolic requirements; previous studies demonstrated that ...

Modern warfare heavily depends on mission critical unmanned systems. The proposed technology provides highly dynamic self-organizing trusted computing infrastructure in battle space via trusted and verified software components and autonomous swarm control

Hypersonic system development is a priority for the Department of Defense (DoD) modernization programs. Development of hypersonic systems require the effective implementation of three design tools; flight testing, ground testing, and numerical and computational modeling and simulation. Of these three tools, flight data is the most critical for hypersonic systems because it provides information nee ...

This SBIR Phase II project addresses both the welding of butt joints in plate panels for ships and the manufacture of highly weight-efficient structural sandwich panels for shipbuilding applications. The Phase I project established the technical and financial viability of the Laser/Gas Metal Arc Welding (LGMAW) process to manufacture flat plate blankets ready for further stiffening. A major task ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Hemorrhagic fever viruses are of serious worldwide health concern as well as potential biological weapons. Lassa fever virus in particular annually infects several hundred thousand individuals in West Africa, and the export of this pathogen outside of this region, either intentionally or unintentionally, presents a serious risk to the developed countries of the ...

Abstract for Supplement ApplicationThe ultimate goal for our original project was to complete the proof-of-concept work, and the multitude of pharmacodynamic, pharmacokinetic, toxicokinetic, safety, and toxicology studies required by the FDA to apply for an IND. We are fully satisfied that we have generated a new chemical entity that acts at a novel binding site on the GABA-A receptor and acts in ...

In this Phase II program, we propose software enhancements to the Mayflower NavAssure SAASM P(Y) Code GPS Receiver to enable it to be used in military applications that require GB-GRAM type of interface, such as JTRS HMS, IMS and GMLRS platforms. These ground-based applications are size, power and cost sensitive. These proposed enhancements will extend the small-size, low-power and low-cost bene ...

Quantum has two technical objectives for Phase II. The first is to develop, test, demonstrate, and deliver prototype three-dimensional (3D) array, Seismic Acoustic Detection and Ranging (SADAR) systems with a data sampling rate of 8,000 (8K) per second to automatically detect, classify, report, and localize underground sources for specific seismic-acoustic signals of interest in near real-time. Th ...

The Foster-Miller team is developing a novel coverglass system that protects photovoltaic cells on space power systems that are exposed to high doses of ionizing radiation. The spectrum of radiation a solar cell is exposed to not only provides usable energy, over time it also reduces the efficiency of the cell by darkening the barrier coverglass, escalates the operating temperature, and deteriora ...
