The Navy has started integrating Battle Management Aid systems (BMA) on the ship platform to share heterogonous superset data from disparate data sources through a centralized data repository like Data Lake (DL). However, the existing approaches like a common data delivery occur asynchronously and take up available bandwidth for intra-application sharing multiple times. The optimization of shared ...

The United States Department of the Navy utilizes hypersonic aerial vehicles for mission-critical applications in communication, guidance, intelligence, reconnaissance, and surveillance. These functions rely upon infrared (IR) optical signals that are transmitted via highly sensitive optoelectronics housed on the vehicles. A window protects the optoelectronics while allowing transmission of IR sig ...

The ATTA technique makes it possible for DTRA to accurately monitor nuclear activities in a real-time fashion. However, such a capability should be provided in varying contexts of low/high S/N images, spurious events, vibrations, and cosmic radiations, operated in the ocean floater/UAV/orbital vehicles. For this purpose, InfoBeyond advocates A2TTA (Real-time Isotope Identification and Quantificati ...

In response to Navy SBIR solicitation topic N231-046 BlackBox Energy Systems proposes to investigate the capabilities of novel stator design axial flux BLDC motors for use in undersea unmanned vehicles. The Nautical Electric Motor (NEMo) will be highly efficient, lightweight cost effective and capable of operation in open seas up to 2000m depth.  The NEMo will be capable of 5000rpm and up to 7N ...

Beartooth MK II is a small, inexpensive, disposable system for warfighter communication.  The system enables the warfighter to sense and respond to the environment, threats, and targets.  Beartooth has a low probability of detection, low probability of interception and applies artificial intelligence to increase warfighter lethality and survivability while lowering cognitive load.  The sys ...

In this SBIR program, AdvR will develop a new feature in Y-branch dual phase modulator IOCs which enables fine tuning of the split ratio after assembly.  The proposed approach utilizes existing technology with a long flight heritage in tactical gyroscopes to create a tunable section which is localized, finely adjustable and permanent after tuning.  Preliminary modeling indicates the target perfo ...

Leveraging our experience and expertise in robots development and system integration (hardware and software) as well as the deep learning for agriculture applications, Hitron Technologies Inc. (HTI) proposes to develop an Intelligent Remote Egg Oiling system (IREOS), with collaboration of University of South Carolina (USC) and Boardwalk Contracting Services, LLC (BWCS). The IREOS allows for effect ...

New technological advancements in flight systems and unmanned or autonomous platforms is requiring pilots interpret, understand, and respond to new forms of data through sensor fusion or automated control inputs. It is critical to understand how pilots are responding to these new multi-domain environments and how they can create new mental models that allow them to respond more quickly and appropr ...

The proposed technology is an advanced method to continuously mix propellants that shortens mixing times, improves safety, reduces costs, and environmental impact. Continuous ResonantAcoustic® Mixing (RAM) quickly mixes highly solids-loaded pastes using acoustic energy with no embedded blades or scrapers reducing the potential for accidents and waste. A RAM based Clean-in-Place process eliminates ...
