Two teams of DCP students from the National University of Singapore developed biomedical innovations that address real-world problems. One team created a portable rehabilitation device called QikRehab to help stroke patients regain hand strength at home, which won several awards including the top prize of $15,000 at Startup@Singapore. A second team developed a smart watch called ezmon that measures vital signs such as heart rate, temperature, activity, and blood glucose. Both teams have started their own companies to further develop and commercialize their products.
In the absence of air or sea ports, a 50 to 500-ton payload land/sea/ice vehicle called LEMV CIRS&T can directly deliver forces to the continental United States or areas of operation. This vehicle provides flexibility and a sea base contribution to strategic and tactical options, including mechanized attack, air defense, anti-submarine warfare, and search and rescue capabilities in a scenario where no ports are available.
This document compares the SkyCat HULA 500 and the C-5 aircraft for transporting troops and equipment from Fort Lewis, Washington to a drop zone in South Korea (4556 nautical miles). The HULA 500 could transport the required load of 15,000 tons of equipment and 3556 troops in 102.6 hours over 188 flights, while the C-5 would take longer at 110 hours over 63 flights. The HULA 500 also has lower fuel costs per ton-mile and fewer total flight hours required for the fleet. A second scenario compares delivery times and costs for transporting a light or heavy Armed Cavalry Regiment from Fort Campbell to Northern Iraq, finding the HULA 500 takes less time in both
The document proposes a Joint Hybrid Aircraft Multi-Mission (J-HAMM) Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration. It discusses several problems that a hybrid aircraft could help address, such as forcible entry in the face of anti-access measures and re-supply of naval forces at sea. The concept involves demonstrating a 30-ton hybrid aircraft capable of lifting 300-500 tons with characteristics like damage tolerance, weather tolerance, and a low radar signature. The demonstration would verify the military utility of hybrid aircraft and provide a basis for commercial investment. It outlines technical approaches, concepts of operation, potential demonstrations, risks, players, funding, and transition plans.
