Reliable System Services Corporation (RSS Corp.) proposes an 18-month program, with a 6-month option, to analyze, design, develop and demonstrate the feasibility of a low cost, low power, high capacity, robust RF communications network using UAV relays in an ocean environment. The developed architecture and design will be suitable for the Navy tactical environment and consistent with FORCEnet. A s ...

A high degree of electrical signal level interoperability has been achieved between aircraft and stores through the application of interface standards such as MIL-STD-1760. This has significantly reduced the need for hardware modifications to integrate stores on platforms, but software level integration remains a costly and lengthy process. Emerging technologies such as a common application prog ...

As noted in a Congressional Budget Cost Report in 1999, each flight hour for an H-60 helicopter costs approximately $12,000 per hour of flight. A properly-designed training device for LSE Students could supplement or replace live helicopter flight hours, and has the potential to provide LSE’s that are better trained to handle Emergency Conditions as well saving a great deal of money. This Phas ...

The objective of this Phase II investigation is to optimize the coating process to apply a Nickel Boron coating on small barrel bores and develop pre-production prototypes of MK46 5.56mm Machine Gun Barrels using Ni-B coatings. The innovation proposes to address the shortcomings of the current Electroplated Hard Chrome bore coating, and is an advancement in surface finishing technology that provi ...

Thermal batteries are mission-critical components utilized in virtually every weapon system. Thermal batteries require four types of pellets that comprise the energy-producing portion of the battery. These include: (1) anode pellets, composed of Li(Si) alloy and electrolyte salt, (2) cathode pellets, consisting of either FeS2 or CoS2 and electrolyte salt, (3) separator pellets, consisting of MgO ...

The Missile Defense Agency is engaged in deployment and operation of a Ground-based Mid-course, missile defense program under an overarching Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS). The command and control portion of this program that will host a fusion system combining data from multiple sensor elements is known as the Command and Control Battle Management Communications (C2BMC) System. As the ...

Improved head and hearing protection is required for aircraft maintainers working on a carrier flight deck during launch and recovery operations. The current head protection is inadequate in many aspects including impact protection, hearing protection, cleaning, comfort, and compatibility with night vision goggles (NVGs) and with chemical, biological, and radiological (CBR) equipment. Creare pro ...

The United States faces the risk of losing a technology vital to national security. Coatings of Titanium Carbide (TiC) applied by a novel Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) Process are applied to the balls used in ball bearings in several important strategic and tactical missile defense systems. A Swiss company was the sole source of these coatings and their production capability has now been phase ...

The project is a movable self supporting interior environmental enclosure for securing to specific areas on a flight deck of an aircraft carrier is most any weather conditions an providing an interior environment suitable for non-skid coating removal and application within the range of the required specifications.

Communications security (COMSEC) role in space continues to grow as the available bandwidth expands. The DOD Transformation Communications (TC) vision will transform the space, air and ground networks into a fully integrated internet like network. This vision requires cryptographic architectures that satisfy Crypto Modernization requirements, can host current and future cryptographic algorithms, ...
