Alphavirus infection, which may cause encephalitis and death, are recognized as potential biological warfare agents. There are no approved medical countermeasures against diseases caused by Alphaviruses. In this project, thermostable single domain antibodies capable of crossing the blood brain barrier (BBB) and neutralizing encephalitic viruses will be developed using Abzymes proprietary in vivo S ...

Metronome Software develops a Domain Encryption (DomCrypt) system for securing Android-based Commercial Off The Shield (COTS) mobile devices. DomCrypt software suite, through its creation of separate DomCrypt-encrypted domains, provides the warfighters the means for accessing and dynamically sharing data in a variety of formats using COTS mobile devices. Metronome also employs a strong-security fo ...

This project team will develop and test a prototype an online platform to facilitate engineering project challenges within K–12 classrooms across many schools. The prototype will include a content management platform to enable a high volume of challenges for students to conduct projects on a broad range of STEM topics, such as computer coding, digital modeling, or producing simulations. In a pil ...

EP Analytics Inc. will develop and commercialize a suite of easy-to-use performance profiling and prediction tools for characterizing the performance and energy efficiency of High Fidelity computer codes.DTRA uses High Fidelity codes to investigate weapon effects phenomenology and techniques for countering Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD).End-to-end High Fidelity simulations in support of the DTR ...

The modern warfighter faces the constant threat of endemic infections, multi-drug resistant bacteria and Biological Warfare Agents. In order to provide accurate front-line treatment that will curtail the overuse of antibiotics, a rapid and robust molecula

This program will demonstrate how additive manufacturing technologies can be used with reactive and high energy materials to create rapid and flexible fabrication of payload and munitions. Our primary approach to this problem will be to use powder bed binder printing techniques to print reactive structures. The anticipated feedstock will consist of composite particles containing all reactant spe ...

Mitigation of threats posed by transportation and storage of hazardous chemicals or defeat of targets containing biological and chemical agents requires basic investigations to characterize aerosol formation and dispersion. Advanced laser-based instrumentation are proposed that will be used to characterize the aerosol and gas phase dispersion of chemicals during an accidental or explosive release. ...
