The Candent Technologies “Reduced Cavitation, High Efficiency Outboard Propulsor for Small Planing Craft” Phase II program is structured to develop an advanced waterjet propulsor for the Combat Rubber Raiding Craft (CRRC). This new axial flow waterjet propulsion system is designed as a “bolt on” assembly that replaces the lower unit of the existing MFE 55 outboard motor. This new propulsio ...

The team proposes to use an analogous approach to the method previously developed and demonstrated under the Phase II/II.5 AFP-based trace TNT sensor. The technology developed under this Phase II will use an optically-interrogated (SERS) transducer in conjunction with a preconcentrating front-end sampling approach for the detection of RDX, PETN and HMX.

In this Phase II, Oceanit proposes to further the impedance approach and battery analyzer device developed in Phase I to demonstrate an optimized technique for monitoring, diagnosis and prognosis of lead acid batteries. Oceanit shall design an integrated lead-acid battery health monitoring tool prototype for testing in an operationally relevant environment. Impedance model will be further refined ...

Oceanit proposes to develop and demonstrate novel, tailored, designer separator materials with optimized properties to maximize lithium-ion cell/battery performance, life, safety and reliability.

The objective of this project is to develop a modular, open-architecture, physics-based ground vehicle mobility prediction software tool for world-wide terrains that are encountered in military applications including on-road and off-road soft soil terrains. The tool will integrate three modules: (1) Physics-Based Vehicle-Terrain Modeling tool; (2) Geographic Information System (GIS); and (3) Stoch ...

The automated identification and processing of goods and documents using machine-readable barcode identifiers is one of the key enabling technologies underlying most modern logistics system. However, the Navy’s efforts to utilize barcode technology with the Fleet Food Service Management (FSM) system has been often challenged by unique requirements for food service aboard operational vessels, the ...

In this SBIR effort we will develop a balanced detection analog photonic link consisting of a DFB laser, a dual-output high-speed, low-Vp mach-zehnder modulator (MZM) and a high-power, high-linearity balanced photodetector (BPD) using a dual-core, single mode, multicore fiber (MCF) that is supplied by our subcontractor, OFS. We will design, fabricate and characterize (phase I) the MZM and the BPD, ...

Team proposes to use active LIDAR and passive LWIR hyperspectral imaging systems for standoff detection of chemical and biological plumes.

The T/R module development derives from and extends from a technology developed by North Star Scientific (NSS) in SBIR Phase III work on a LINK-16 high power amplifier. The T/R module effort initiates a radar electronics development to follow a multi-band antenna that is being developed for 21st century Navy surveillance needs.

Oceanit proposes to develop visual analytics tool to support collaborative decision making with high-dimensional variables using 2D, 2 1/2D, and 3D visualization with interaction for demonstration.
