At present, there is no certified/accredited Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)-based solution for cross-domain voice and video that can support more than two domains.The desired IOC end state for the new MDAVS technology is a fundamentally new architecture that supports more than two simultaneous domains and can manage much larger numbers of concurrent calls while supporting high definition vide ...

OCCAM is software for Tactical Information Management. It is designed to enable the most relevant information to be identified and transmitted to units at the tactical edge.

The feasibility of developing a photonics-based, real-time, high-power-radio-frequency (HPRF)/high-power-microwave (HPM) detection-and-analysis system is to be investigated. Design and development of foundational elements will take place to demonstrate how self-contained, shielded, photonic and source-power subsystems, interconnected to a network of non-polarimetric sensors via optical fiber, will ...

We propose to create TEAMMATE, a system that can give individual instructor trainees Tailored, Extensible, Automated Mastery Measurement for Actionable Teaching Evaluation. TEAMMATE will combine low-cost, COTS sensors like a camera and microphone with intelligent software to assess multiple key aspects of verbal and nonverbal communication. Like a peer observer in civilian teacher training, TEAMMA ...

This first phase will be the beginning of a complete and comprehensive program that will improve UUV detection and classification through advanced processing methods, data fusion and sensor integration. This will enhance current and future harbor protection systems to counter the emerging underwater threat. Phase 1 will result in a system design that will be developed based on a thorough assessmen ...

Oceanit proposes to create technologies to improve diver communications at working depths compensating for different gas densities and minimizing communication feedback. The goal is to investigate applications of digital signal processing and actuators (speakers and microphones) and apply these findings in developing a Helmeted Diver communication system(s). This development is to address diver he ...

Low cost and high capacity make lithium sulfur batteries (LSB) the next generation of lithium ion batteries. Practical application of LSBs remains limited by low utilization of sulfur and fast capacity fading of sulfur cathodes. The root causes are poor electronic conductivity of the cathode combined with high solubility of intermediate polysulfide products formed during cycling. To overcome these ...

Oceanit proposes to design a software application that can be used with an infrared (IR) sensor to identify a potential target threat by analyzing its infrared signature.

The primary goal of this Phase I research effort is to develop manufacturing methods to grind and polish glass substrates into non-rotationally symmetric freeform conformal sensor windows with dimensions up to 12x12 inches with a sag height of approximately 4 inches and an RMS optical precision of 0.5 micron or better.

Access to experienced technicians is not always available to a maintainer at sea. Correcting naval electronic systems issues as they occur can leverage accumulated knowledge that resides in databases, detailed test plans, repair procedures, and other documents if available to ship-based maintainers. This effort is to develop an Interactive Instructor chatbot technology that is an interface between ...
