Contract Awards
Development funded by the CTTSO encompasses a wide berth of vendor participation and varying contract award values.
We have participants from nearly every state in the Union, and foreign countries as well. When a good solution is presented our interest is pursuing the technology — submitter market share plays no role in source selection.

March 16, 2010: Wayne State University, Detroit, Michigan was awarded $884,733 contract for the Personnel Protection Subgroup. A significant source of injuries in a large blast attack on vehicles, ships, buildings, and structures is blunt trauma caused by massive projectile impacts or acceleration into rigid bodies. The objective of this effort will be to quantitatively characterize and test the nature and severity of these types of injuries in sufficient detail to enable prediction of both incapacitation and medical response requirements. Of particular interest are 15 to 1,000 pound projectiles and impact velocities less than 200 miles per hour. The overall goal of the current effort is to validate a surrogate that can quantify the severity of injuries sustained during whole body blast loading. The identification, modification, and ultimately validation of such a surrogate will allow for various loading scenarios and blast mitigating techniques to be properly evaluated. Completion is expected by March 16, 2010.
