UHAC has demonstrated the capability to operate in water, mud, sand, and over rough terrain. The CACs are the foundation of the concept and those used on the technology demonstrator vehicles possessed the necessary functionality, but lacked the durability required for military vehicles. Under this proposal CACs with the necessary durability will be developed and tested. Also addressed will be the ...

Navy’s digital modular radios (DMRs) have been upgraded to support a wide range of waveforms (e.g. SRW, HAVE QUICK, SINCGARS, SATCOM, and MUOS). To further increase the fleet’s warfighting capability, the U.S. Navy is interested in reducing the number of single function RF systems required on Navy ships and submarines. EMBARC (Efficient Multi-carrier Broadband Amplifier for Radio Communication ...

Development of a small UAS compatible Micro IFF transponder including Modes 1,2,3A,C,S , Dual band ADS-B, UAT, Mode 5 and interrogator. All modes include both receive (in) and transmit (out). Size is less than 8 cu inches and weight is under 6 oz with full AIMS 17-1000 compliance, including 500 watt output with diversity. Unit is also low cost and low maintenance. Unit meets full military temperat ...

STtNG is a new U.S. Navy shipboard carry-on unclassified satellite communications terminal that will be capable of operating over non-geostationary satellites. These satellites will include, eventually, proliferated Low Earth Orbit (PLEO) systems, such as SpaceX Starlink and Amazon Kuiper, Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) systems, such as SES O3b Classic and SES mPOWER, Highly Elliptical Orbit (HEO) syste ...

This SBIR Phase II project addresses both the welding of butt joints in plate panels for ships and the manufacture of highly weight-efficient structural sandwich panels for shipbuilding applications. The Phase I project established the technical and financial viability of the Laser/Gas Metal Arc Welding (LGMAW) process to manufacture flat plate blankets ready for further stiffening. A major task ...

In this Phase II program, we propose software enhancements to the Mayflower NavAssure SAASM P(Y) Code GPS Receiver to enable it to be used in military applications that require GB-GRAM type of interface, such as JTRS HMS, IMS and GMLRS platforms. These ground-based applications are size, power and cost sensitive. These proposed enhancements will extend the small-size, low-power and low-cost bene ...

The operational need for this improved towed array technology insertion initiative stems from the necessity to improve availability and reliability of towed arrays in use on submarines in both shallow and deep water environments, and represents a critical submarine capability enhancement. The proposed project will extend and transition the telemetry, packaging and iPEN technologies developed und ...

Inovati to proposes to train Air Force staff on operation of the prototype Kinetic Metallization System (KMS) equipment delivered and installed at WPAFB with prototype software for repairing F-16 wheels and A-10 NLG pistons and other aircraft components enabled by deployment of a robot with extended axis capabilities integrated with the KMS equipment. The objective of this project to deliver a pro ...

CCRIs Phase I research efforts on Modeling and Prediction of Asymmetric Threat Learning Processes have shown the potential for learning models to improve predictive accuracy. The methodology developed proved to be robust and provides improvements in prediction, even when parameter estimation for the structural equation models was not significant. The Phase I results suggest that the development o ...

Improved head and hearing protection is required for aircraft maintainers working on a carrier flight deck during launch and recovery operations. Legacy Flight Deck Cranials are inadequate in many aspects including hearing protection, impact protection, cleaning, comfort, and compatibility with night vision devices (NVDs) and with chemical, biological, and radiological (CBR) equipment. In this p ...
