The Phase II Buoy Localization and Uncertainty Estimation (BLUE) program is developing advanced algorithms and software to improve target localization error in air ASW multistatic sonar missions. Significant improvements in target localization come from three distinct technology advancements: better knowledge of sonobuoy motion, more accurate target tracks, and improved fine bearing measurements f ...

Navy operations in congested littoral areas or when transiting straits is very challenging for force protection because of heavy traffic ranging from small pleasure craft and fishing vessels, to very large cargo ships and barges that are navigating in close proximity. Constructing and maintaining the track picture over long periods of time under these conditions is particularly difficult because t ...

As technological complexity increases, so too does the cost of integrating new systems. Each innovation yields geometrically more interfaces with which to integrate. Unless we develop a better approach, it becomes cost prohibitive to integrate additional technologies and capabilities. Current integration approaches seek to address this complexity through managed commonality and shared infrastructu ...

Signal Systems Corporation (SSC) is developing a Multistatic Operator Target Search and Discrimination Aide (MOTSDA) that enables operators to exploit the increased search detection capabilities of future Air ASW designs without workload increases. Using MOTSDA, operators will focus on promising alerts and regions of high interest that are generated by new automatic target discrimination technique ...

The ability to refuel piloted aircraft in flight is considered a strategic military asset and has been a critical element of success in nearly every US and NATO military engagement of the jet age. Equally important going forward will be the ability to perform Autonomous Aerial Refueling (AAR) and refuel unmanned aircraft in flight. In order to properly set the requirements for AAR, a high-fidelity ...

The primary objective of this effort is to develop a tractable computational tool to assess the probability of ignition within aircraft combustors and augmentors during routine igniter and/or system design analysis. This computational tool will provide for the off-line assessment of ignition probability given flowfield simulation data, characteristic igniter geometric and physical parameters, and ...

The arresting system is a critical component to ensure mission readiness and pilot safety during landing operations on an aircraft carrier. The Advanced Arresting Gear (AAG) Water Twister is the most critical mechanical component for absorbing kinetic energy from landing aircraft and as such it is necessary to ensure its reliability and health status. Issues have previously been identified with th ...

To address the need of auto-extracting data relevant to significant events and to archive patterns, Intelligent Automation, Inc. (IAI) team proposes to continue developing a Scalable Event Extractor for Multi-Level Event Data and Pattern Archiving: SEE. The key innovations of our proposed SEE system are (1) a large class of analytics that extract valuable and important information from raw data, a ...
