ABSTRACT: Dayton T Brown, Inc. (DTB), a leader in aircraft system engineering and testing services, is proposing to develop a comprehensive, robust, and accurate system for monitoring and assessing the operational readiness of landing gear systems via verification of proper serving (i.e. fluid level, gas pressure and temperature). DTB will team with General Atomics Systems Integration Division ( ...

One of the major benefits of tactical cloud computing is improved net-centric capabilities and operations with the objective of information dominance. The reassign-able pools of computing resources and efficient information across operational boundaries can produce a more accurate and up to date common operational picture for warfighters. Instead of individual platforms pulling data from sensors t ...

To address the limitations of underwater acoustic wave propagation, we propose a paradigm shift in how information is carried over short-range (tens of meters) acoustic links. We suggest the study -and then development- of a novel carrierless ultrasonic transmission and multiple access technique. Short, properly designed/shaped pulses are transmitted in the ultrasonic spectral regime following an ...

First Responders need to leverage automated (M2M machine-to-machine), mobile connectivity at an incident site. With connectivity automated through M2M network technology, responders would have much improved situational awareness, and can effectively focus their complete attention on the necessary emergency response actions. We propose to develop a futuristic automated M2M device mesh and concept o ...

The ADYB Team, with its company, ADYB Engineered for life Inc. Are the developer and producer of the high performance ceramic armor systems. These ballistic protection panels are 70% lighter in weight than steel while providing significant weight and performance advantages over currently available ceramic and composite armor technology.

Poseidon Systems, LLC, in collaboration with Impact Technologies (Sikorsky Innovations), Pratt & Whitney, and Rolls-Royce, proposes the development of an integrated online oil debris and oil condition sensing system. The proposed device will perform inline health monitoring of the lubrication system of fixed and rotary wing aircraft propulsion systems. It will determine the Remaining Useful Life o ...

Electronic systems undergo degradation and eventually experience faults and failures. The complexity of these systems, which provides unprecedented level of functional capabilities, puts forward formidable challenges in predicting, tracking and identifying the trend and source of degradations and failures. However, methods and tools for electronic prognostics in Automatic Test Systems (ATS) are st ...

NAVAIR"s Warfare Analysis and Integration Department (AIR 4.10) has three labor intensive, error prone, data management operations that Sonalysts"desktop, Windows application will automate with a generic toolkit to greatly reduce the human effort. The data provided by the fleet tends to be error prone, but modeling, simulation, and analysis require valid data. The data contains both quantitative a ...

The Navy has invested significant resources in constructing, maintaining and updating various information systems/databases that contain data/information that needs to be manually filtered to detect/remove anomalies prior to transforming it to perform useful analyses. The proposed approach will automate this process by: 1. Parsing the data/information needed and detecting its source 2. All ...

The objective of this proposal is to demonstrate the feasibility of mid-wave infrared (MWIR) illuminators for ground and small unmanned aircraft system (SUAS) targeting. Advances such as high-operating-temperature sensors are enabling MWIR imagers with significantly reduced battery consumption, size and weight. This allows MWIR imagers to be used in ground tactical, hand-held and SUAS applications ...
