Rigid Wall Shelters (RWS) are an integral building block for Marine Corp operations and support a multitude of operational needs from maintenance and repair operations to command posts and medical operations. There are several key operational deficiencies with metal RWS, the weight of legacy systems and lack of insulation result in a high cost to transport and difficulty heating and cooling interi ...

As organizations grow in size and complexity, it is only natural that inefficiencies exist. One of the challenges faced by organizations is the information needed to identify, characterize, and resolve these inefficiencies is located in different stovepipes and may be biased based on a variety of factors. Both crowdsourcing and human computation research and design thinking practices have develope ...

The proposed Phase II.5 ViPER USMC large mission planning mission planning expansion effort seeks to add capabilities to ViPER-CVW that will provide an initial large force air planning capability to USMC aviation planners. Development will focus on providing route and airspace deconfliction tools which link airspace, flight routing, and planned aircraft movements, as well as automated checks to en ...

Ensuring access for carrier battle groups and other assets to strategic crossroads is a critical Navy priority. The proliferation and increasing capabilities of quiet diesel/electric submarines, combined with the challenging acoustic characteristics of littoral waters create a significant challenge, particularly for current tactical ASW systems, which are primarily platform centric and designed fo ...

Parachute Descent Procedure (PDP) training helps Naval aircrew learn and refresh their skills properly maneuvering a parachute to a safe landing, both over-land and over-water. Currently, aviators train PDPs using the “Parachute Descent Virtual Reality Trainer,” which is deficient in several key ways including (1) the inability to view the harness and gear while wearing the included head-mount ...

As a cloud-like architecture is adopted by mission critical System of Systems (SoS), the problem of system management is critically important to solve in order to ensure continuity of operations. System operators and maintainers need a way to manage system resources and restore a system to health when subsystems in the SoS are sharing these resources. A technology to determine and present Courses ...

The Navy seeks to improve the reliability and the operating life of its airborne Generator Converter Unit.The goal is to develop lightweight and compact equipment to correct leading power factor in a military combat aircrafts power 65kVA, 115V, 400Hz, 3-phase power distribution system. The equipment will correct the power factor from .98 leading to a minimum .97 lagging while complying with Milita ...

Develop innovative methods and associated tools to support the definition of Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) capabilities and their individual instruments using an Open Architecture (OA) approach, to allow for precise understanding of the ATE, interoperability across Navy and DoD electronics maintenance, and improved utilization of Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) tools to support ATE operations. Th ...

A need exists for a power-and-energy dense, lightweight modular Integrated Fuel Cell System, IFCS, able to operate with available aviation fuels. The proposed Phase I effort initiates the development of an IFCS based on Infinitys current generation modular fuel cells integrated with advanced state-of-the art reformer technology. The goal of this effort is to develop the conceptual design, analysis ...

Precision Combustion, Inc. (PCI) has developed a breakthrough technology enabling a new logistics-fueled, high efficiency all-electric power and propulsion (PnP) system with potential to improve mission range and logistics for Navy’s UAS platforms and others. Based upon a high energy density fuel cell power system that can operate on logistics fuels, the technology offers multiple advances for U ...
