The non-explosive shock testing of naval vessels and shipboard equipment project rapidly integrates a COTS technology currently used in commercial oil exploration, tailors the technology to meet Navy’s LFT&E technical and environmental challenges, and provides the resulting package to the US Navy. The project provides a process and system by which the US Navy can avoid the severe environmental p ...

Veritay proposes to continue development of an expulsion system for a 5-inch gun round that dispenses numerous kinetic energy penetrators as the round approaches the target. One of the most important aspects of the design involves devising a system for effectively dispensing the payload from inside the round to create a uniform penetrator pattern over a large footprint. Additionally, they must b ...

NAVAIR selected two companies to work together in Phase II of SBIR N03-190. Binghamton Simulator Company (BSC) will fill the prime contractor role in producing a Prototype Aircrew Virtual Environment Trainer (PAVET). Systems Technology Incorporated (STI), as subcontractor to BSC, will pursue their Fused-Reality visual system concept. The Phase II prototype device shall provide skill training for a ...

A fully reconfigurable multi-carrier rf communications system requires a fast, versatile switch matrix, which will permit distribution of various signals between a set of antennas and a set of radios. This is carried out most efficiently in the digital domain, but requires the use of ultrafast circuits that can accurately process multi-GHz rf signals. Superconductor electronics can provide high- ...

The Navy desires to equip P-3s and similar future aircraft with UAVs that can be launched from a standard A-size sonobouy tube and return real-time information including video images from remote locations for further analysis and action. Lite Machines has developed an electric-powered rotary-wing UAV having a cylindrical body and a counter-rotating, coaxial, rotor system, that fits within these ti ...

This Phase II effort will produce a system for the dismounted marine that will enable the seamless transitioning between helmet mounted intensified imaging and the image view from a rifle mounted thermal weapon sight.

OptiPro Systems has developed a new finishing process for brittle materials. UltraForm finishing has evolved from a tire shaped tool with polishing material on its periphery, to a new design, which incorporates a solid rubber wheel, which has a band of polishing material passing over it. One objective of this research is to refine and build a robust 5-axis computer controlled platform for implemen ...

Complexity of immersive displays continues to grow and so does required setup and calibration. A myriad of measurements and adjustments must be performed to verify compliance of systems and components to specifications. Routine system maintenance sometimes necessitates less involved system alignment to minimize system down-time. Traditionally, a number of instruments are used. Transits may be u ...

Applied Visions, Inc. (AVI) is pleased to present this proposal for a Phase II follow-on effort to our Phase I work on Topic N04-231 “Display and Visualization of Movement Predictions for Ground Vehicles”. The core of the problem to be solved is that of minimizing the area of uncertainty (AOU) for a mobile target that may have moved from its last known location. The methods of attacking the p ...

In order to enhance missile performance, future missile designs will incorporate domes with a more aerodynamic shape than the traditional hemisphere. Significant additional benefits in areas of performance and cost reduction would be realized if a new material with more robust properties and the ability to be formed to near net shape replaced more common materials, such as sapphire. One promisin ...
