We propose development and demonstration of key elements of the in-stride launch and recovery system (LRS) we analyzed in Phase I to provide capabilities of a modular, scalable LRS that can readily and quickly be mounted for small UUV launch and recovery using a range of sizes and types of larger UUV. Deliverables include in-water demonstration of autonomous recovery and of data and power transmi ...

We propose an engine concept, which we call a Cart-Engine, which embodies both a thermodynamic cycle innovation and a mechanical innovation that can achieve exceptional efficiency, low mechanical vibration, and can burn multiple fuels. In addition, the manner in which the Cart-Engine functions promises the potential for low emissions, high power to weight, and low manufacturing cost. We have alr ...

"The objective of this proposal is to evaluate 128-bit game consoles like Sony PS2 and Microsoft X-box and graphics processing units for applications involving visualization, simulation and navigation of complex datasets. It will include evaluating theprogramming environments, memory and processing capabilities for general applications. In Phase I, we evaluated the Sony PS2 platform as well as t ...

"With an increase in highly mobile and unconventional military threats, real-time target detection from sensor based imagery has become correspondingly more important. At the same time, computers alone have not been able to mimic the capabilities of anexpert analyst in making the visually complex decisions needed to perform high level target detection decisions. In this proposal we plan to merge ...
