Makai proposes to complete a parametric analysis of candidate sonobuoy components for a conceptual deep drifting sonobuoy system. These results will enable the Navy to perform a tradeoff analysis of the sonobuoy system to meet their operational requirements and form-factor constraint. Using Navy-supplied location data, Makai will characterize the ocean environment in the area of operation and us ...

Oceanit will design and develop a capability for measuring the atmospheric absorbers along the line-of-sight of airborne Electro-Optical/Infra-Red (EO/IR) sensors in support of sensor flight tests. During Phase II, we will develop and demonstrate prototype hardware and software solution based on our Phase I findings.

Oceanit will develop radar reduction technology for a panoramic imaging submarine mast that has multiple optical windows.

Resodyn Corporation proposes to develop a single tough thermoplastic polymer coating material and system solution for aluminum and composite boat hulls. The coating functions as an adhesive for attaching doubler plates. It encapsulates and prevents water from corroding metal substrates plus it is hydrophobic and can include corrosion inhibitors and colorant. Basic polymer components are tough ther ...

This objective of this proposal is to demonstrate an automated towed-body Deployment-Retrieval (D-R) system on ACTUV. A control system monitors ship motions and the relative distance between the water surface and deck at the stern. Data from the sensors are processed and the optimal time to release or capture the payload is determine and executed. The D-R system is intended to prevent damage due t ...

Oceanit proposes to develop technologies and tools for detecting and classifying malwares using methods and techniques which are orthogonal to existing methods of binary/code analysis, binary and behavioral signatures.

The U.S. Navy seeks a proactive approach to reinforce the thin walled corrosion resistant steel (CRES) pipes at the welded joints in order to prevent potential leaks from occurring in situations where joint cracks are generated. Currently, there is no known product available to meet this need. Resodyn Corporation proposes for development a clear, tough, corrosion protective, VOC-free thermoplastic ...

UHAC has demonstrated the capability to operate in water, mud, sand, and over rough terrain. Its propulsion is based on buoyant cells acting as paddle wheels. This system of propulsion is not efficient. It is suggested that more efficient propulsion can be incorporated without compromising the all-terrain capabilities of the vehicle. Further, segregating the functions of buoyancy, propulsion, and ...
