Oceanit proposes to scale-up processes for low cost obscurant materials. These processes include the development , fabrication, and testing of materials and coatings.

Paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) due to consumption of contaminated shellfish is an increasing problem is the coastal waters of the United States, particularly in New England and the Pacific Ocean. The symptoms of PSP include vomiting, diarrhea, shortness of breath, confusion, and loss of coordination in both marine animals and humans. In severe cases, PSP toxins can cause respiratory failure a ...

Commercial marine aquaculture operators face many operational hazards including disease, predators, husbandry operations, and environmental changes. Most of theses risks are only identified with constant surveillance and physical presence at a farm site. However, human observation of risk factors is expensive, slow, and sometimes ineffective. Sensors are available to monitor individual environment ...

Reliance on fishmeal and fish oil is a significant constraint to aquaculture expansion in America, and globally. As U.S. marine fish farming expands, genetic improvements could increase economic performance and decrease ecological footprint. This is critically important to sustainability, scalability and profitability of the industry, and is key to attracting capital investment. Commercial opportu ...

In Phase I, Ambient Logic will create a Geospatial Sound Model (GSM) that estimates multiple indicators of the background noise across the contiguous United States (CONUS). Given either latitude/longitude coordinates or an address, the GSM will provide the daytime ambient noise spectrum in one-third octave bands, the DNL, and the A-weighted Leq for all 24 hours. Prediction accuracy of these metric ...

Bennett Advanced Research proposes to use advances in intelligent power control and management to balance loads and manage assets on a forward operating base or other tactical environment to ensure that the power provided is stable and consistent.

Corvid Technologies proposes to develop a robust, fast running algorithm to calculate strategies for cooperative missile guidance of interceptors against multiple threats. These strategizes will determine the number of interceptors to be launched, their launch times, which threats they will engage, and will coordinate their flight paths to enhance lethality and lower cost. This algorithm will be d ...

Corvid Technologies is pleased to offer this Phase I proposal in response to Army SBIR topic A17-010, “Ballistic Missile Defense Weather Management.” In the proposed effort, we will leverage Corvid’s established capabilities in computational aerodynamics and structural mechanics to develop a framework for assessing the influence of weather on Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) interceptor aerod ...

Oceanit proposes to develop and demonstrate advanced techniques for lead acid battery monitoring, diagnosis, and prognosis in order to reduce lead acid battery failures and predict battery failure.

The use of kinetic energy projectiles relies on a sabot structure to trap and transfer the expanding propellant energy to the penetrator. While the sabot is critical to projectile acceleration, it negatively affects the lethality performance of the penetrator. Therefore, lighter sabots are needed to increase penetrator kinetic energy. While traditional composite methods developed for large cali ...
