Award Data

Navy aircraft data are stored in several database management systems, both in digital format (data recorders and sensors) and paper records. Additionally, with respect to life management and maintenance, and repair and overhaul (MRO) activities. This approach results in multiplicity of data, some contradictory data, and incomplete data. An efficient Web-Based platform is needed with a reasoning en ...

In this Phase II effort, PEMDAS Technologies and Innovations (PEMDAS), in collaboration with subcontractor Westover Studios, proposes to develop a functional prototype of the Weather “Action Chain” Enabler (ACE) application using the technologies identified, knowledge gained, and preliminary design conceived during the Phase I effort. As designed, the Weather ACE application will be a non-intr ...

In recent years the anti-submarine-warfare mission of the U. S. Navy has been expanded to include operations against stealthy, diesel-electric submarines operating in near-shore, shallow water regions of the world. Acoustic conditions in such regions are characterized by significant spatial and temporal variability. This variability reduces the performance of traditional sonar detection and class ...

The Navy is responsible for providing maritime security from terrorist and rogue state actors. As technology progresses, these threats obtain increasingly powerful weapons that may be concealed in smaller packages. The Navy relies heavily on EOIR sensors mounted on airborne tactical platforms to detect, identify, and classify these threats. The challenging tactical environment faced by these senso ...

A method is proposed for the estimation of directional wave spectra using vessel motion measurements, with the only a priori knowledge required being the vessel mass and/or waterplane characteristics. All other relevant vessel characteristics are learned in the field. The method may be extended to eliminate the need for any a priori knowledge whatsoever using machine learning techniques, for situa ...

Dehydration is a significant issue for both military and civilian personnel. However, it is of increased concern in the military fast-jet environment. Due to inconvenient urine relief mechanisms, aircrew can often become dehydrated over the course of an extended mission, whether intentionally or inadvertently. Dehydration is known to result in cognitive shortcomings, and given the complex nature o ...

Current tactical display applications, while adequately providing operator tools needed to assess the data and gain an awareness of the tactical situation, have not achieved seamless integration of decision aides in a cohesive geographic presentation. Specifically, systems suffer from the too many geos syndrome whereby operators are able to view geographic presentations but are unable to get the v ...

Existing tactical displays attempt to achieve integration and consistency of multiple display subsystems using a static allocation of display space. This type of approach has a number of drawbacks preventing achievement of the goal of a common tactical picture. Our approach is the Geo-Visualization Framework Tactical (GVF-T), a visualization framework built to support rapid production of highly ...

JRM and Advanced Gaming Solutions Inc, along with Calytrix Technologies, propose to develop a comprehensive Virtual War Game capability for Naval Warfare, focusing particularly on physics-based full-spectrum representation of SPAWAR C4I systems for highly realistic, real-time training for all Navy combatant roles. JRM proposes to leverage Advanced Gaming"s H3-MilSim, based on the highly successf ...

Military and open-source videos contain a wealth of information about entities, concepts, and events of interest to U.S. and coalition forces. Analysts have access to these video sources but are severely limited in exploiting the information contained within due to manpower and technical limitations. To fully understand the relevance of a video to mission objectives, analysts must watch each video ...
