David Headley, left, from NASA, and George Beck, director of engineering and research at Impact Instrumentation, Inc., demonstrate their lightweight trauma module during Strong Angel III in San Diego, Aug. 24. The module was designed using input from the Office of Naval Research, the U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research, and Marine Corps Systems Communication to create a lightweight device which U.S. troops could use while deployed. The current module used by the armed forces weighs about 60 pounds, whereas the Impact module weighs just 16 pounds. Photo by Cherie A. Thurlby
