Special OperationsForces (SOF)are an integral aspect of the US military. SOF operators are among the most elite and highly qualified individuals in the U.S.military. As such, extraordinary physical and mental demands are placed upon them to excel in extreme environments for extended periods of time. This unrelenting cycle of combat deployments and intense pre-deployment training shortens the funct ...

Due to increasing concerns over the long-term health effects of PFOS and PFAS on the human body, regulatory agencies have set limits for the concentrations ofPFOS and PFAS in drinking water.Currently, lab-based PFOA and PFOS water tests cost $200-$300 per sample, with a turnaround time of 2-3 weeks.In the program, 2W iTech LLC Proposes to develop a low-cost fieldable sensing technology for detecti ...

Hivemapper proposes to develop an Open Source Dash Camera that is optimized for the production of high-resolution 3D maps, and to build a cohesive 3D mapping pipeline to generate fused 3D maps from both air and ground FMV sources. The production of the camera will include both hardware assembly and software development to calibrate and streamline the flow of multiple streams of ultra-high resoluti ...

Intellisense Systems, Inc. (ISI) proposes to advance the development of a new Remote Air Quality Reporting (RAQR) device to measure and track wildland fire pollutants including carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and particulates, in a small, portable, easy-to-use unit capable of storing and reporting data from remote locations. As wildfires are expected to occur more frequently nea ...

Wild fires produce significant air pollution, posing health risks to first responders, residents in nearby areas, and downwind communities. Wildfires are increasing in size and intensity, and the fire season is growing longer. Technologies for measuring air pollutants, including particulates, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and carbon dioxide, over the wide range of levels expected in areas dow ...

As wildfires are increasing in prevalence and intensity there is a need for miniaturized, lower cost, and easily portable air sensor systems that provide accurate information to air quality and public health managers, communities, and researchers, so that the public can be protected and timely decisions can be made. Fixed site measurement stations are large and expensive. More dense networks of sm ...

This project will fully develop LabAR, an augmented reality (AR) app for students to perform hands-on physical science investigations. Using the on-device camera, LabAR will augment the environment around the user with simulated instruments and equipment, real-time data visualizations, and annotations. The simulation will be designed to look and feel realistic to maximize transferability of knowle ...

Verdant will be an immersive virtual reality (VR) experience for high school biology students focusing on Mendel's investigation into the heredity of pea plants and the basis of genetics. In Verdant, students revisit Mendel's scientific process by designing and running open-ended crossbreeding experiments at the macroscopic and microscopic levels and recording results, as Mendel did, but in hours ...

To address the USSOCOM need for a wearable next-generation field computing device, Intellisense Systems, Inc. proposes to develop a new Hyper-Enabled LAN Integrated Operator (HELIOS) technology based on the maturation of Intellisense’s existing smart hub technology and interconnection solutions to meet the USSOCOM requirements. Specifically, the innovation in USB 3.1 Gen. 2 data and power delive ...

Space Micro, together with its partner, CACI National Systems and Innovative Solutions (NSIS) proposes to develop a space-qualified RF payload for nanosatellites that passively collects RF signals over a wide bandwidth, identifying signals of interest by their spectrum, captures and time stamps these signals of interest, and – alone or together with other satellites or ground-based assets geo-lo ...
