The introduction of USN electric ship initiatives and advanced weapons systems such as rail guns, lasers, and other future pulse loads to future warships creates power and energy demands that exceed what a traditional ship electric plant interfaces have been designed to provide. This creates the problem of satisfying a growing demand for stored energy, while working within the limited space availa ...

Bridger Photonics proposes developing an optical metrology probe with a wavelength greater than 2 microns capable of transmitting through key infrared materials, achieving

Bridger Photonics proposes developing a disruptive metrology probe capable of achieving 1 kHz update rates and measurement ranges exceeding 10 cm. This probe will be coupled with OptiPro Systems' 5-axis air-bearing UltraSurf stage to provide optical figure and transmitted wavefront error of large aspheric optics including conformal windows, aerodynamic domes, and corrector optics.

In this document, a proposed modular detector system, intended for used as part of an existing high energy computed tomography system is described. Each detector module would be comprised of a cadmium tungstate linear detector array (LDA) and a Varian PaxScan 1515DXT Digital Image Receptor. The proposed design would couple the bottom face of the LDA to the 1515DXT, which would allow the 1515DXT to ...

Phelps2020 proposes a multi-sensor system (SAFE) that passively increases operational distances in the maritime environment in the presence of dense fog. The system comprises multiple modalities (EO, SWIR, LWIR) operating in various modes (temporal, multi-spectral, and polarized), and orchestrated via an optimized set of algorithms within a decision making fusion framework. Our solution involves t ...

The Phase I objective is a proof of concept capability integrating process information, material properties and damage tolerance simulations into the Additive Manufacturing (AM) design certification process. VEXTEC has a toolbox of software and methods that consists of various software modules in multiple formats that are used to assess the durability of parts processed by traditional methods of c ...

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 ...

To address the Navy's needs for a multi-band, pulsed, high average power transmitter for IRCM applications, Bridger Photonics, Inc., in collaboration with NP Photonics proposes a novel solution for nonlinear frequency conversion of a unique 2.0 micron Thulium fiber laser that will achieve the Navy"s desired laser specifications in a single, compact, and efficient package. This system will cap ...

GTL proposes to develop a small diameter High Pressure Breathing Apparatus concept design capable of achieving 10,000-psi operating pressures. The HPBA incorporates a high-pressure regulator and valve that makes it compatible and component replaceable with existing conventional SCUBA and SCBA equipment. The HPBA tank incorporates several GTL innovations integrated into an optimized solution includ ...
