Creare is proposing to develop a heater utilizing carbon nanotubes (CNTs) that will have high temperature uniformity and high optical transmission with low glare. By creating a variable effective sheet resistance across the windshield, we will be able to produce a robust design that can be flexed and easily scaled up to a production environment. In Phase I, we will fabricate and test a coupon size ...

Oceanit proposes to research and develop chemical or non-chemical methods and processes to impart surface morphology modifications to aluminum-magnesium (Al-Mg) alloys to mitigate and increase the exfoliation corrosion resistance.

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 Navy’s 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 ...

Abstract

The objective of the completed Phase I effort was to develop a highly compact and lightweight, rapidly deployable, inflatable sled to facilitate the high-speed surface tow of a disabled undersea vehicle. Currently, no man-portable solution exists. The driving mission requirements for the inflatable sled are a weight objective of 150 lb and a stowage objective of 24 in24 in36 in. Realizing that the ...

A craft capable of transporting an ACV from a well deck ship to shore at speeds in excess of 30 knots is being proposed. This craft, referred to as a “Sled,” is based on the use of inflatable drop-stitch panels coupled to a simple aluminum frame. This approach offers the means to collapse the sled in constituent parts that can be stored in a small volume. The propulsion system is also modulari ...

This solicitation represents a tremendous opportunity to bring state-of-the-art human performance and nutrition technology to the US Navy in a format that meets very specific Navy requirements. As the nation’s leading provider of human performance assessment technology, CoachMePlus is ideally suited to develop a best-of-breed solution for the Navy. We currently work with over 220 professional an ...

Superconductor digital circuits, operating at very high clock speed, can directly process wideband digitized radio frequency (RF) signals. By integrating such digital processing circuitry together with superconductor analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), we propose to develop the next generation digital-RF receivers. Leveraging the recent development of multiple superconductor ADCs on the same chip ...

Makai proposes to address the towed vertical array shape control problem by developing a technology for direct integration onto the vertical array: the SURTASS Vertical Array Control System (SVACS). The SVACS innovation will solve the issues of straightness, verticality and orientation without requiring expensive redesign of the arrays themselves and can be easily incorporated into the existing an ...

TECHNICAL ABSTRACT: Ship groundings can cause sever environmental damage to the delicate ecosystems such as coral reefs, seagrass beds, and beaches. At present, survey work is performed by hand – a method that is inefficient and difficult to perform reliably. Improved bottom survey tools are clearly needed to evaluate the extent and type of damage and assist in determining remediation efforts. ...
