This SBIR seeks an autonomous "ICU-in-a-Box" platform integrating extracorporeal membrane oxygenation with multi-organ support capabilities to provide sustained resuscitative care for combat casualties in austere environments where evacuation delays extend beyond initial trauma phases. The system would automate critical functions including oxygenation, cardiovascular stabilization, and renal support to address preventable deaths from severe hemorrhage and subsequent organ failure.

DARPA seeks autonomous systems capable of detecting casualties and chemical toxidromes in contaminated mass casualty environments where human responders face hazardous conditions. The technology must locate injuries, recommend triage priorities, and deliver initial treatments to improve survival rates when rapid medical response is critical.

CORPS seeks software that predicts casualty streams and optimizes medical response decisions in austere, communications-limited environments. The solution must evaluate response options against tactical constraints using sparse data, while integrating with both DoD and civilian infrastructure.

This RFP seeks a simulated market testbed to evaluate behavioral tendencies in AI systems used by warfighters. The economic framework will detect hidden biases, deceptive strategies, and cognitive impacts that may impair decision-making without requiring direct model access.

This RFP seeks a noninvasive detection system combining advanced sensing and AI to help combat medics rapidly identify and monitor life-threatening internal bleeding in austere field environments. The solution must pinpoint hemorrhage location and bleeding rate to enable timely triage and evacuation decisions when surgical care is unavailable.

This RFP seeks an autonomous, networked detection system using machine learning and on-board sensors to identify New World Screwworm in real-time across remote border regions. The system addresses current manual trap limitations by enabling persistent surveillance and rapid threat detection without laboratory diagnostics.

This RFP seeks an advanced airborne subsurface radar system operable from high-altitude aircraft to map mineral deposits across larger areas faster. The system must solve extreme power-scaling challenges while remaining self-contained, modular, and electromagnetically compatible with host aircraft.

This RFP seeks development of a minimally invasive remote blood collection device for free-ranging cetaceans to enable health monitoring and environmental surveillance. The prototype will use suction-cup deployment methods to collect capillary blood samples from Navy dolphins and wild populations, improving mission readiness and environmental compliance assessments.

This RFP seeks advanced signal processing technology to protect GPS systems from jamming and spoofing threats. The solution combines machine learning and stochastic resonance principles to enhance weak GPS signals while filtering adversarial interference for military and commercial operations.

This RFP seeks compact, low-noise mode-locked semiconductor lasers operating at 6-12 GHz with picosecond pulses and 50+ mW power. The technology bridges optical and microwave domains for photonics applications, addressing the current lack of commercially available stabilized lasers in this performance range.
