Award Data

Rigid wall shelter protection against electromagnetic threats has historically been provided by passive steel or aluminum skins on the shelter walls. However, these legacy shelters require high levels of maintenance and corrosion protection; do not meet current International Standards Organization (ISO) and Convention of Safe Container (CSC) standards for stack height; are not energy efficient and ...

To facilitate amphibious assault operations, the Marines need to quickly move amphibious combat vehicles (ACVs) between ships and the shore. However, due to an increased level of sophistication in the anti-ship weapons available to potential adversaries, Navy ships must remain far from shore during assault operations (i.e., many tens of miles). This creates a need for assault vehicles that can ach ...

The Multifunctional Information Distribution System (MIDS) Joint Tactical Radio (JTRS) is a four-channel, software-programmable radio having up to eight Shop Replaceable Units (SRUs) that determine the functionality of the unit. The SRUs consist of electronics cards mounted in a sealed structure and secured in the chassis using standard wedge locks. Currently, the available heat rejection from the ...

This project will modify GFE (delivered under contract N68335-15-C-0102, to be returned to Fibertek), test the modified system, and deliver an advanced blue solid-state laser transmitter based on frequency doubling of a diode pumped near infrared laser. The technical approach utilizes a novel gain module design which maximizes pump efficiency while minimizing temperature rise and thermally induced ...

The focus of this Phase II SBIR topic is to develop an extremely small SWaP ISR/EW capability. There is a need and associated requirements within the Navy and other Department of Defense (DOD) agencies to detect, geo-locate, and discriminate emitters of interest in littoral and open ocean environments. Larger intelligence data demand and fewer manned intelligence platforms make it difficult to mee ...

Successful V&V of complex systems relies on a representative test environment, test data, and Subject Matter Expert (SME) manpower to investigate tough cognitive issues encountered during integration. Because many systems have interface and interoperability requirements with other systems and subsystems, SIM/STIM tools are essential for ensuring incremental combat system developments are functioni ...

Nuvotronics will provide a high-performance S-band TR module using low-cost, frequency-appropriate packaging that will meet all required MIL standards for airborne radar. COTS parts will be used where appropriate, critical components will be developed as required. We will leverage past and present work at Nuvotronics that is relevant to power combining, packaging, receiver design and digital inter ...

The automated test equipment (ATE) family provides state-of-art testing capabilities for weapons replaceable assemblies across the DoD. However, each ATEs testing capabilities are defined in a proprietary way. The absence of an open and standardized representation limits tool interoperability, makes it more difficult to use COTS automated tools, and can cause confusion in test station instrumentat ...

Aircraft routinely encounter turbulence and pilots must respond appropriately to turbulence to maintain safe aircraft operation within the prescribed operating limits, and to effectively accomplish missions. Pilots of manned aircraft can readily assess the severity of turbulence, and naturally maintain a high degree of situational awareness with regard to the turbulence level. Operators of unmanne ...

The innovation is a Gimbaled Airborne Multi-Sensing Imaging System (GAMSIS) optimized for small boat detection under wake clusters. The system tightly integrates GPS/INS to operate its co-boresighted multi-sensor payload, consisting of an array of fast high resolution Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) cameras capable of multispectral/hyperspectral/polarimetry snapshot over a broad VIS-LWIR range (4 ...
