The proposed topic will examine tradeoffs for ground Soldier applications for micro displays, create new backplane architectures, determine optimal Si process nodes and wafer size, and ultimately entail the fabrication and characterization of the micro displays, for further integration into head-mounted display (HMD) systems for augmented reality (AR) outside of this SBIR.

The U.S. Army is seeking innovative technology solutions from eligible small businesses across the U.S. through the Expeditionary Technology Search (xTechSearch) competition. This platform offers participants the opportunity to pitch novel technology solutions—whether a new application for an existing technology or an entirely new technology concept—to the Army, engage with the Department of Defense (DoD), earn prize money, join an accelerator program, and winners will have the opportunity to submit a Phase I Army Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) proposal.
This topic seeks to explore technologies that can enable dynamic representations of combat-related injuries, as well as the internal processes that take place over time as the injury changes due to treatment. The goal is to provide medics with a deeper understanding of how various treatment decisions impact long-term injury recovery.

The Aerial Delivery field has a systemic shortage of personnel at Skill Level 1 positions across all COMPOS that places the mission of packing personnel parachutes, large cargo parachutes, and rigging of equipment at risk of mission failure. This topic aims to deliver wearable, augmented reality and/or computer vision devices to non-Parachute Rigger Soldiers to increase technical capabilities for rigging their unit organic equipment, thus reducing overall Army Parachute Rigger requirements.

The topic involves the development of available, daylight-readable off-the-visor display solutions for use in mixed reality head-mounted display systems. Through this solicitation, the Army aims to move on to an Army Applied Small Business Innovation Research Phase II contract, where businesses can design, produce, deliver and characterize the most optimal off-the-visor solutions for use in future Soldier Vision products.
