Oceanit proposes to develop a solution to improve mask discipline and improve oxygen mask comfort.

Oceanit proposes to develop a miniature oriented fluxgate magnetometer similar to the AN/ASQ-10 for use across multiple operational platforms with focus on unmanned vehicles in a maritime environment.

Oceanit proposes to develop technologies to improve the acoustics performance of abrasive blasting nozzles for paint and surface coatings removal.

Surveillance Towed Array Sensor System (SURTASS) provide a critical Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) surveillance capability that helps the U.S. Navy maintain undersea dominance. During low speed operations, the unsteady nature of the tow environment causes the straightness (per line) and line-to-line separation of the array to deform from straight-line, constant separation cases which degrades the pe ...

Traditional manufacturing methods for producing warheads, propellants, and pyrotechnic systems are timely and costly. Additive manufacturing (AM) approaches offer one path of alternative manufacturing technologies. Among various technologies, powder bed fusion (PBF) is one promising approach. Hewlett Packards Multi-Jet Fusion printers utilize a unique PBF process that presents a desirable solution ...

New CPES concepts are pushing the electrical power demands of U.S. Navy ships continually higher. What makes these technologies fundamentally different are their very high pulse loads and highly distributed, interconnected architectures. Ships cannot support these new technologies without considerable modifications. The ONR-funded Electric Ship Research and Design Consortium produced the Smart Shi ...

A very fast 1xN optical switch capable of handling high-optical power is proposed. It is designed for switching laser power from a central source to multiple outputs using photonic switch technology that does not have any mechanical moving parts. It is designed to have a very compact size and high-reliability operation suitable for airborne environment. The switching speed will be >10 W of optical ...

The SEAL Delivery Vehicle (SDV) and the Shallow Water Combat Submersible (SWCS) are swimmer delivery vehicles used by Naval Special Warfare. When a malfunction disables one of these submersibles, under certain scenarios it can be recovered by towing, using a rigid sled for support. The current sled is large and heavy: too large to be carried aboard a small craft like a Navy RHIB, and too large to ...

The automated identification and processing of goods and documents using machine-readable barcode identifiers is one of the key enabling technologies underlying most modern logistics system. However, the Navys efforts to utilize barcode technology with the Fleet Food Service Management (FSM) system has been often challenged by unique requirements for food service aboard operational vessels, the co ...

Oceanit proposes to develop and demonstrate advanced techniques for lead acid battery monitoring, diagnosis, and prognosis in order to reduce lead acid battery failures and predict battery failure.
