PHASE II TECHNICAL OBJECTIVE The major objective of this Phase II proposal is to establish open source traffic simulation model and software, and to develop application programming interfaces to accommodate future traffic research needs. Objectives will be accomplished by building and demonstrating FOMM, an open source traffic simulation model and software. Furthermore, to accommodate future resea ...

This Phase II research expands Phase I research on Saccharina latissima and is to design and develop “seed” nursery methodologies for the development of commercial-scale production of juvenile kelp plants including Alaria esculenta and Laminaria digitata. The project objectives include: 1. Isolate and maintain cultures of New England species of Alaria esculenta and laminaria digitata to be use ...

MACH I Inc. propose to extend the technology developed under a previous Phase II STTR. This new technology will transition the demonstrated performance advantages to a commercial system, the Joint Multiple Effects Warhead System (JMEWS) warhead for integration into a Block IV Tomahawk warhead system. Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) is prepared to develop and commercialize the proposed technolog ...

The materials used in Navy aircraft are subjected to the harsh corrosive maritime operational environment which can cause costly maintenance problems and failures. Current alloys such as AerMet 100 have excellent strength and toughness but are not corrosion resistant. This SBIR has the goal of developing ultra high strength stainless steels with mechanical properties equal to those of AerMet 100 a ...

Discovery Machine"s overall objective is to prepare for integration into the P-8 Advanced Training Base (ATB). We will accomplish this objective through the design, development and testing of Basic Level Actions (BLAs) for various entity types operating in the JSAF synthetic environment. We will create a Maritime Console for using the BLAs to create missions for the entities from the BLAs. In addi ...

Maritime Security is derived from robust Situational Awareness and enabled through a man machine interface which promotes rapid human cognition. The ability to sense threats even in seemingly benign environments is key. Sensing threats early affords Fleet Operators critical timely reaction to set material conditions, station personnel, initiate a challenge and prepare responses. An approach has be ...

Modern pulsed power systems and power electronics demand high energy density, high reliability, and fast discharge speed capacitors that cannot be fabricated with commercially available dielectric materials. Current electrostatic capacitors usually have an energy density below 2 J/cc due to the limitation of dielectric material performance and reliability constraints. The bulky size of existing ca ...

The goal of this Phase-II SBIR effort is to build and demonstrate the performance and advantages of advanced azimuth sensors that are non-magnetic, compact, low power, light weight, rugged, insensitive to magnetic interference and electronic jamming, are not dependent on GPS signals, are readily integrated in laser rangefinders and laser designators, and are useful in Battlefield environments. The ...

Navy aircraft are currently using proprietary, size, weight and power inefficient copper interconnects for avionics. These interconnects are costly for the Navy to maintain and to retrofit. New solutions are needed that are standards-based, easily upgraded and maintained, and leverage the efficiency of fiber optic, WDM technology. Accipiter Systems with its team will be developing a High-Speed, Lo ...

The Navy has established the need to replace the present high power sonobouy power source used in Air Anti Submarine Warfare (ASW) Systems. Present technology for the ASW sonobouy battery utilizes a primary Lithium/SO2 battery chemistry which provides for up to 20, 10 second pulses drawing 5500 W of power at 65 V. The present system poses a safety concern arising from the venting of toxic fumes du ...
