Age discrimination in employment has considerably lessened the economic and employment opportunities of middle aged andolder job seekers. inadequate job training represents a barrier confronting the older job seeker and is a major aspect of age discrimination. this is especially a problem today… More

This proposal seeks to develop innovative technologies to enable accurate placement of sonobuoy stores from high altitudes. This will be accomplished through a combination of numerical predictive modeling improvements and decelerator design improvements. An emphasis is placed on developing… More

This proposal will investigate state-of-the-art sensor and propulsion technology and develop innovative design concepts compatible with the need to define and document a next-generation mobile ASW target simulator for Navy development. The research will explore active acoustic and non-acoustic… More

The AAI CMAS conceptual Phase I design focused on two primary design features: the feasibility of designing AEER and IEER-type acoustic sources capable of meeting the CMAS mission requirements, and designing both acoustic source and vehicle propulsion modules compatible with A-size sonobuoy… More

Improving sonobuoy splash point accuracy from high altitude deployments can be accomplished by designing a new descent mechanism (or making modifications to current systems), and / or improving the performance of existing splash point prediction algorithms. In order to maximize performance, we… More

This proposal will investigate state-of-the-art acoustic sensor and power amplifier technology and develop innovative design concepts compatible with the need to define and document an EWARS acoustic sensor system for Navy development. The research will explore active acoustic sensor and related… More

This proposal seeks to investigate the use of innovative structures to improve the performance of sonobuoy hydrophone arrays. In addition, AAI plans to develop novel simulation and testing techniques to fully characterize current array designs and investigate new classes of array designs.
