Is the opportunity to establish the scientific, technical, commercial merit and feasibility of your proposed innovation.
Soldiers are subjected to quickly changing light conditions, such as inside a dark building versus outside in the sun, within a single mission. The pupil can take a few 10s of seconds to fully acclimate to changing light levels

High energy laser (HEL) threats are expected to be deployed in the future battlefield. They exhibit many compelling features including speed-of-light engagement, a deep magazine, and limited protection against the highest powers. The threat mechanism is via optical damage and intense thermal damage. These qualities behoove the development of PPE for Soldiers.

Unmanned vehicles are playing increasingly central and sophisticated roles on the battlefield and fulfill many different missions during both peace and wartime. Small autonomous vehicles like Group 1 sUAS represent a top DoD and Army priority, and are common in military formations, with wide distribution to units across the Services and in civilian agencies.

U.S. troops are deployed worldwide to places where commercial food sanitation standards may be inferior with poor enforcement. Survey data of military personnel deployed in Iraq or Afghanistan reported high rates of diarrhea, 70 and 54% respectively, for respondents. Higher rates in deployed personnel in Iraq was attributed to more access to local foods (26.6% in Iraq reported eating local food weekly compared to only 5.3% in Afghanistan).

To develop, integrate and deploy a technology with a simple intuitive user interface that improves information exchange and the discovery of collaboration opportunities within the Army R&D and Acquisitions communities as well as between the Army and private sector technology providers and private sector technology integrators. The intent is to drive transition of R&D-funded technologies into the Army enterprise.

The current approach to developing Holistic Health and Fitness (H2F) facilities is too expensive. The high price tag means smaller facilities and less frequent Soldier accessibility resulting in insufficient service for Soldiers’ holistic health, readiness levels, and human performance baselines to accomplish missions.

The topic focuses on developing technology that will allow the radiation detection industry to develop and propose low-cost dose rate meters that are significantly smaller and more wearable than those based on current GM-tubes. Smaller RADIACS (radiation detectors) will decrease the weight burden of equipment on its users, reducing fatigue and improving maneuverability through lighter and smaller equipment across the Army and other commercial platforms.
