The proposed solution provides a low-cost practical air-droppable package for existing polar ice meteorological sensor systems. The buoy package will be configured for deployment from a fixed wing aircraft. Descent is stabilized and slowed by a parachute deployed after launch, and designed for a… More

The proposed system is for a lightweight air-deployable expendable system capable of performing functions similar to existing ocean meteorological drifters, with the additional capability of maintaining station and/or repositioning itself on command. The system will keep station better by the sea… More

This project proposes an unmanned semi-submersible surface craft with an innovative wave piercing, planing and ballasted hull form that builds upon a system in advanced development for ONR incorporating many of the key features necessary for persistent and low-visibility operations. This basic… More

A Towed Array Control Module (TACM) will be developed to control the configuration of single and multi-line towed arrays by applying the appropriate force vector at the tail end, while reducing drag. The TACM is a streamlined module with some maneuvering ability of its own that can adjust the… More

The SK-LVC Phase II proposal requires the employment of new and evolving technologies in the areas of power generation, autonomous operation and control of both surface and undersea unmanned vehicles, and operation of vehicles across the operational environment continuum from subsurface, surface,… More
