21st Century Systems, Inc. proposes to research and realize agent-based decision support system under uncertainty for submarineoperations. We will use a highly innovative hybridBayesian/differential game modeling approach to tackle thisproblem. The resulting theory and technology will facilitatesubmarine options by addressing such practical problems astradeoff evaluation for course of action and ...

The feasibility of developing a system to provide feedback to manual welders was demonstrated in Phase 1 of the Office of Naval Research STTR Project titled

Accurate Automation Corporation (AAC) and Aviation Microjet Technologies (AMT) USA,have developed preliminary designs for an advanced, low-cost, high thrust-to-weightratio turbojet engine in support of the development of future low cost aerial targetsfor the U.S. Navy under the Target 21 program. The advanced engine design willproduce an increased thrust turbojet and an aft-fan configuration turb ...

Present, laser based, countermeasure systems are too large and too expensive for deployment. Aculight will apply its propritary optical mounting techniques to reduce the size and cost of these IR transmitters. Further, Aculight will remove the power,controls and diode laser pumps from the laser head allowing direct mounting on Navy high performance aircraft pointing and tracking turrets. The re ...

Undersea, fiber optic, cable systems are currently either battery powered or powered from shore via a conductor that is part of the cable. For the former, large battery packs must be deployed wherever electronics are located along the system. For thelatter, the conductor in the cable dominates system size and controls system cost. An alternative concept is to power the fiber optic cable system ...

In a ship's bilge, water mixes with oils, cleaners, and other liquids and dissolved solids to form a complex wastewater solution harmful to the marine environment. Naval vessels carry onboard oil/water separators (OWS) to prevent discharging oily wastesoverboard. OWS systems can remove oil from water; however, serious problems arise when other contaminants, like detergents, are present. These in ...

The goal of the Middle Game Localization Utilizing Air DeployableActive Receiver (ADAR) project is the development of the passivecapabilities of the ADAR buoy. The Phase I of the researchinvolved a thorough investigation of the potential for gains dueto enhanced ADAR passive processing through a simulation-basedanalysis, and the development of a prototype ADAR processinghardware and software suite ...

The objectives of this research are to research and design the necessary components of an environmental impact assessment software suite and to provide modeled environmental impact assessment results for selected sites. The research will focus on theimpact of active acoustic emissions on marine mammals in the oceans. In the research and design portions of the study, AHA will examine the pertinen ...

The objective of this study has been to demonstrate that the Dimensional Management System (DMS) can be successfully used within the shipbuilding industry. The purpose of dimensional management is to improve quality and reduce rework and the overall costof ship production. By using computer simulation, the time required to generate and interpret geometric dimensioning and tolerancing scheme will ...
