Resilience to evolving cybersecurity threats continues to be a high priority across Navy tactical and nontactical systems. Protecting these systems is a complex, daunting, technology challenge. Presently, a multilayered, defense-in-depth strategy is used to identify cyber-attacks and protect the core assets of a system, namely its data, from being compromised. Existing security tools and practices ...

Sonalysts proposes to develop PING!, a fun and engaging browser-based serious game for team Antisubmarine Warfare (ASW) at sea and on shore training that targets AN/SQQ-89A(V) sonar operators with progressively challenging tactical scenarios. As teams compete for the best scores, they can focus on proficiencies in which they need the most work, based on integration with the Moodle Learning Managem ...

Qualtech Systems, Inc. (QSI) proposes a Cyber-Resiliency Modeling and Assessment Framework leveraging its expertise in Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approaches, which facilitates cross-system risk-assessment of cyber-vulnerabilities, and analysis-of-options (AoA) studies in an ICS (Industrial Control System) architecture. An MBSE approach coupled with Risk Engineering would yield a compre ...

Sonalysts proposes to develop COA Battle Rehearsal and visualization Aid in 5-Dimensions (COBRA 5D), an innovative enhanced situational awareness and continuous maritime COA analysis and planning tool that extends surface Navy Battle Management Aids (BMAs) currently in development. COBRA 5D will enable rapid prototyping and demonstrate the feasibility of innovative dynamic and colorimetric tactica ...

GLSV Inc. will develop a robust and innovative autonomous depth control mechanism that will integrate into current and future ADCs which will enable greater power budgets for increased acoustic performance and/or operational range. The content of this proposal outlines GLSV’s engineering approach and past SBIR experience that will be used to successfully meet the technical objectives of this top ...

The primary goal will be to prioritize a list of radioisotopes based on availability, usability, demand, strategic interests, and production methods. In addition, we will begin to design and test new nuclear battery systems (radioisotopes coupled to a semi-conductor matrix). Results from durability or efficiency tests of nuclear battery prototypes using radiation from accelerated beams can be comp ...

In this SBIR effort we will develop an ultra-compact, high-speed, low RIN and high-power transmitter for high-performance RF photonic link applications based on our cutting-edge lithium niobate on insulator (LNOI) modulator. In phase I, we will design, fabricate and characterize a low Vp, push-and-pull LNOI modulator. We will study the optical couplings at the laser/modulator/fiber interfaces to a ...

To address NGA’s requirements, Sonalysts’ team of world-class experts in underwater optical communication proposes development and implementation of the Precision Optical Navigation Transceiver for Undersea Systems (PONTUS). PONTUS will transfer navigation information from an Underwater Navigation Beacon (UNB) to an Unmanned Undersea Vehicle (UUV) in an electromagnetic-spectrum-denied (e.g., G ...

Expeditionary airfields (EAF) provide the US military with flexibility in operations and strategy. The Marine's Wing Support Squadron and Navy Mobile Construction Battalions are tasked with rapid deployment and operation of expeditionary airfields in any feasible location around the world. AM-2 matting is the base upon which the entire EAF system rests. Large quantities of these mats are required ...
