Standard U.S. Navy fiber optic assemblies require that the fiber be bonded to the connector using an adhesive that is labor intensive and heat controlled (MIL-A-24792). Advanced Material Systems (AMS) proposes a study that could solve this problem through the development of an adhesive system that would cure at room temperature in less that 3 minutes and yet meet all of the in-service req ...

Hydrogen Plasma generated by tap water and sodium bicarbonate is designed to clean metals of oxides and organic contaminants, including paints, leaving the surface passivated against corrosion and with an anchor profile that enhances coating adhesion. Theremoval of mill scale results in two distinct benefits: a.) enhanced adhesion characteristics and b.) surface passivation against corrosion.Util ...

The overall goal of this project is to develop a heat removal technology to handle heat flux densities as high as 1 kW/cm2 for wide band gap SiC/GaN microwave power amplifers, which will be utilized in X- band phased array radar antennas. The technologydeveloped in Phase I is based on a large array of micro-scale impinging jets, each of which produces a very high rate of heat transfer over a loca ...

Littoral Research Group L.L.C. (LRG) of New Orleans, Louisiana proposes the developmentof a high-speed, high-lift planing hull form that significantly reduces the environmentalsignature and shock imparted on the vessel and its occupants. Moreover, they offerthe practical implementation of new concepts and design methodologies that focus onhull-form technology for the exploitation of the hydrodyna ...

Littoral Research Group L.L.C. (LRG) of New Orleans, Louisiana has teamedwith Kinetic Art and Technology (KAT) and its commercialization arm LynxMotion Technology Corporation to offer a dynamic partnership that integratesworld-class naval architecture services with cutting edge, award winning,electrical engineering and design. LRG will use their hydrodynamicplaning codes to analyze the sea-keepin ...

Phase I research will be conducted to prove the feasibility of developing a Micro-sized Air-launched Expendable Meteorological Sonde (MAXMS) for both military and research purposes. The proposed research will investigate unique meteorological measurementrequirements and engineering solutions and quantify the accuracy that can be obtained using Micro-sized form factors. The work will include invest ...

There is a need for the capability to transmit data from various types of unattended ground based sensors such as biological/chemical, meteorological, audio/video surveillance, communication monitoring/decoying and vehicle/personnel movement sensors. Thesesensors will be precision air deployed using standard countermeasures dispensers and will be packaged in standard flare and chaff countermeasure ...

NSI will transition its data fusion algorithms to FDS being developed for a real-time processor called Quiet Interlude (QI), which is currently being sponsored by SPAWAR 05 and PMW-155. This FDS data fusion algorithm will benefit greatly from QI¿¿s fusionof passive sonar, ELINT, and RADINT data. Active sonar data from multi-static systems, such as Low Frequency Active (LFA), Compact LFA (CLFA) ...

Omni Technologies, Inc. (OTI) is proposing a unique acoustic method for measuring flow rate of liquid cryogens. Over the last 30 years, acoustic flowmeters have been demonstrated that non-intrusively measure flow rates in fluid filled pipes. The majority of these use pulsed time of flight techniques but none have used continuous wave (CW) techniques as is being proposed. The advantages of the prop ...
