"A detailed feasibility study of the most viable options for RF dual mode communications for enhanced survivability will be conducted. Three major configurations will be investigated and compared. Adept has developed a network analysis tool for survivabletopologies that will be used to perform a survivability-cost-performance tradeoff between the different configurations. The feasibility of the be ...

"Many of the naval bases proposed to accept deployment of the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) are in non-attainment of the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for the emissions of ozone precursors: oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and reactive volatile organiccompounds (VOCs). The emissions of particulate matter including soot are also a concern. The Navy would benefit from a cleaner fuel so that hig ...

"The proposed program is focused on studying UAV critical technologies. Two technologies considered significant to meet the emerging UAV requirements include power extraction and the engine centrifugal compressor material. Therefore, two studies will beconducted in the proposed program:¿ A detailed study will be conducted to evaluate secondary power extraction propulsion system optimizatio ...

"The United States Navy is using and/or experimenting with active, coherent and incoherent sources to detect and localize submarines operated throughout the world. As the U.S. Navy continues to develop and employ active sensors and moves into littoralareas occupied by higher densities of marine mammals, adverse environmental impacts are likely to occur. Recently, in a U.S. Department of Commerce ...

"Automated storage and retrieval systems have proven effective methods of increasing efficiency and lowering overhead costs in many land-based industries. Implementing such systems in Navy Destroyer class ships is the objective of the next generation DDX.Automated or semi-automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) improve the efficiency of and reduce manpower required for storing, retrieving ...

"The result of Phase I is that Computer Optics Inc. successfullydesigned a process methodology that allows refurbishment ofGermanium Domes for the IRST F14 program at a fraction of thecost of an original dome. In addition to performing the processstudy, COI applied its methodology to a dome that had failed inthe field and refurbished it. This dome was delivered as part ofthe Phase I effort. In Ph ...

"For brevity, Davis Diesel Development will be referred to as DDD. DDD was incorporated in 1975. DDD has operated as a commercial enterprise designing, manufacturing, and marketing its many products, chief of which is the miniature hybrid diesel converterfor model engines since 1975.DDD's objective is to provide a small heavy fuel capable diesel engine. The performance of which must meet the re ...

"The production of educational content is traditionally labor intensive and requires significant software development skills, time and resources. Traditionally, trainers using Computer Based Training (CBT) do not have the software background or expertiseto rapidly create stimulating content for their students. DiSTI believes that by leveraging previously developed EGO (Encapsulated Graphical Obj ...

"D-STAR will develop a 0.250 cu. in. displacement Micro-Diesel Engineto make 0.5 hp using JP-8 fuel.It is based on a 0.050 cu. in. engine recently demonstrated by D-STARunder a DARPA program with additional support from Army and Navy OST.The 0.050 engines have been run for 60+ hours, and have produced0.1 hp at 15,000 rpm on JP-8 fuel.The engines use no volatile additives (such as ether or amyl n ...

"A number of Navy aircraft including P-3, E-2C, and C-130 have electric power systems that use Honeywell generator type 28B95. This generator was rated at 60-kVA per military standard Mil-G-21480A and is capable of providing up to 90-kVA output duringflight. Due to the growth in Avionics, it is desirable to increase the power by 30 to 50%. This must be accomplished within the existing constraints ...
