Autonomous Biosensor Infused Triage and Treatment (ABITTS)

Abstract

This project was an expansion to the second year of the Autonomous Tactical Combat Casualty Care Underlayer project that began in FY18. The purpose of this effort was to further develop a modular, sensor-infused garment that will allow the U.S. military to address several gaps in far-forward tactical combat trauma treatment of penetrating wounds. Based on feedback from the Naval Special Warfare Development Group (NSWDG), the effort concentrated on the accurate detection and reporting of penetrating wounds and automated collection and handoff of patient data. The core of the integrated and modular platform is the "Sensing, Signaling, Treating" concept. SOFWERX executed Phase Ill of the ABITTS project under CPO 29 which was a follow-on to a previously completed CPO 19.USSOCOM funded CPO 29 under agreement H92405-19-F-0026. DoD Rapid Reaction Technology Office (RRTO) provided the source funding for this project.
