THE ADVANCE OF TECHNOLOGIES MAY MAKE DEFENSE AGAINST BALLISTIC MISSLES TECHNICALLY AND ECONOMICALLY FEASIBLE. A NATIONAL POLICY DEBATE HAS BEGUN ON THE DESIRABILITY OF MAKING A TRANSITION FROM STRATEGIC DETERRANCE TO STRATEGIC DEFENSE. THE DEBATE IS AT PRESENT HIGHLY CONFUSING AND UNSTRUCTURED, SINCE THE VARIOUS ARGUMENTS FOR AND AGAINST THAT TRANSITION ARE BASED ON DIFFERING ASSUMPTIONS, OFTEN TA ...

In this SBIR solicitation, critical technology is sought that will enable construction of accelerator systems that are operable from moving military platforms or that will significantly reduce the overall footprint of currently available technology. Alameda Applied Sciences Corporation (AASC) offers to develop one key enabling technology of a Laser Wakefield Accelerator (LWFA), that holds promise ...

The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) and the U.S. Strategic Command Center for Combating Weapons of Mass Destruction (SCC-WMD) requires transformational materials technology to support the intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) of personnel and materials associated with weapons of mass destruction (WMD) development, manufacturing, and proliferation. Voxtel, Inc. proposes to fa ...

Current high energy, multi-room test facilities operated in support of Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) efforts suffer from a lack of robust sensors that can provide a cost-effective approach to obtaining dynamic pressure induced gas flows during internal detonations events. Exquadrum, Inc proposes a new sensor package that utilizes existing piezoelectric sensor technologies, but incorporat ...

Small multirotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are well suited for sensing and situational awareness missions in closed, confined, and constrained (C3) environments. However, autonomous navigation of small VTOL UAVs is very challenging in C3 environments. Current state of the art navigation methods uses vision and LIDAR to build a map, localize, and plan paths. These methods tend to be computati ...

The overall incidence of burns in current military operations has nearly doubled during the past few years and this type of injury remains a common component of armed conflicts. To address the need for prevention of scar contracture following burns, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a new Control of Scar Contracture After Burn injury (SCAB) topical formulation. The SCAB is desi ...

Team RTI is proposing to develop a comprehensive environment that will facilitate the provisioning and deployment of Network Function Virtualization in tactical DIL networks. We believe that it can add network resilience, enable improved data prioritizati

Miniaturized smart munitions are seeing increasing use across all branches of the Department of Defense (DoD) in order to meet the ever evolving mission needs for the U.S. warfighter. These smart micromuntions have been enabled by advances in capabilities and miniaturization of critical microelectonic and microelectromechanical systems such as sensor, navigational, communications, and triggering ...

Problem: Currently available resuscitation fluids have been shown to induce detrimental effects on trauma outcomes. Objective: The objective of this proposal is to use the data from the successful Phase 1 studies to guide the continued development and te

We propose to design and develop a Cohort Development and Analysis Toolkit (CDAT) that will assist clinicians, practice administrators and public health professionals in comparing the effectiveness of different clinical practices, including preventive and treatment modalities. The overall goal of CDAT is to facilitate comparative effectiveness research and evidence-based practice without the nece ...
