"This SBIR is intended to develop a high fidelity modeling andsimulation tool to support shipboard rotorcraft operationanalysis. The efforts address not only the enhancement of eachindividual modeling discipline that is related to the simulationof rotorcraft shipboard testing, but also their integration intoa comprehensive simulation environment to allow forrotorcraft/ship interaction. The propos ...

"Reports developed under SBIR contract titled "Personnel Identification and Location for MOUT Applications", have confirmed the significant advantages of the ¿ther Wire & Location, Inc. Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Localizer System for use in Military Operations inUrban Terrain (MOUT) for the USMC in response to increased urban conflicts. This system is based on ultra-wideband RF communications; its sig ...

"Guidance systems used on sea-based vehicles are often stored forlong periods of time (10 to 30 years) under a variety ofuncontrolled storage and operational conditions. The electronicsare util-ized during the life of the system and must operate witha high degree of reliability when they are needed. The Navyanticipates a need for radiation-hardened ICs in packages thatwill ensure reli-ability and ...

"This Phase II project will develop and validate a computerizedtool (Scenario Design and Assessment Tool for Training) to assistinstructors in designing mission scenarios for use in simulatortraining. ScenDATT is an integrated scenario design andeducational tool that takes Navy courseware developers, step bystep, through the ISD process as they design aircrew trainingscenarios from scratch or modi ...

"The overall goal of this Phase II STTR proposal is to demonstrate the capability of Naval surface and aircraft-based radars to detect and track marine mammals at representative encounter geometries. There are two major components to the proposed work: 1) acomprehensive land-based demonstration and validation experiment, using a suitable GFE radar, against humpback whales off of the coastline of H ...

"The objective of this SBIR program is the development of an electro-optical imaging system for acquiring time-series imagery of the ocean surface suitable for scientific research, which can be mounted and flown in an aerial photography airplane. Thesystem will be designed for low-cost production, through the use of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) components, and low-cost operation, through the u ...

"The Navy has a need for new transduction materials to develop newsonar projectors that operate over greater frequency bandwidths,with greater Source Levels (SL). One proposed hybrid transducerdesign incorporates laminated Terfenol-D materials for themagnetostrictive drive element. However, the laminating approachlimits the design scope of the transducer device due to eddycurrent losses that red ...

"We propose research in the context of a larger program to deliver, in FY 2007, a multi-sensor system to counter buried mines. For tactical use, this demonstration may require two subsystems: one that makes a rapid wide area environmental assessment and asecond system that performs the buried mine hunting in areas when and where the first system has shown it is feasible. Countering buried sea m ...

"The need to operate in the environmentally diverse, shallow, andgeographically confined areas of littoral regions, coupled withthe proliferation of threat nonacoustic sensor technology, posesa serious operational challenge to SSNs and Special Forcesdelivery vehicles like the Advanced SEAL Delivery System. Tocombat this challenge, Dynamics Technology, Inc. will develop alaptop nonacoustic ASW tact ...
