To address the Navy need for an accurate and efficient computational method for calculating acoustic scattering strength of midfrequency targets Applied Research in Acoustics LLC (ARiA) has built on recent advances in edge-source integral equation (ESIE) to develop and demonstrate the feasibility of a hybrid ESIE boundary-element method (BEM) target-scattering model for midfrequency active (MFA) s ...

The Candent Technologies “Reduced Cavitation, High Efficiency Outboard Propulsor for Small Planing Craft” Phase II program is structured to develop an advanced waterjet propulsor for the Combat Rubber Raiding Craft (CRRC). This new axial flow waterjet propulsion system is designed as a “bolt on” assembly that replaces the lower unit of the existing MFE 55 outboard motor. This new propulsio ...

FlashX, LLC is developing the open source “Gigantum” software platform to ensure the accessibility, repeatability, and extensibility of scientific data and analyses. Our innovative software integrates into the tools that scientists already use, like Jupyter and RStudio, providing a transparent user experience with virtually no learning curve. Within these tools, Gigantum works behind the scene ...

Group 2-3 UAS engines have low mean time between overhauls (MTBOs), often with as little as 200-400 hours before maintenance must be conducted.This leads to significant maintenance cost and logistics tail for deployed operations.Two-stroke piston and rotary engines for Group 2-3 platforms have common maintenance drivers such as carbon fouling, and wear of cylinders, housings and bearings.Phase I r ...

The Air Force rebuilds and tests many aircraft and ground-power generators each year, involving many hours of loaded run-time with dissipative load banks. To improve facility energy efficiency and to have a positive environmental impact, a regenerative ac/dc load bank is proposed to push power from generator testing back to the electric grid. The proposed generator power recapture unit (GPRU) will ...

In Phase II the TCG Team prototype MVDC casualty power system will be tested to validate its capability to restore MVDC power quickly and safely to electrical equipment in zones isolated from power generation by damage, through zones between the source and the rest of the system. During the Phase I Option, draft specifications were developed by the TCG Team based on the Phase I concept design. Pha ...
