The S-351 mini-sub is a prototype of the Dry Combat Submersible (DCS). This prototype was established as a means of risk reduction prior to a full commitment to the DCS program. Both of these platforms have an operational need to transit with minimum operator fatigue safely to a pre-defined point and covertly deploy and retrieve SEALS. To meet these operational needs, these platforms require upgra ...

ABSTRACT: DZYNE Technologies, Inc., proposes a Phase II SBIR effort to continue development of MONARCH, a Mobile Onboard Nexus for Autonomy and Radical Computation Handling. MONARCH shall provide an elastic, embedded computing capability for hosting operationally-relevant classes of software applications onboard manned and unmanned systems through the interoperation of distributed, networked compu ...

The objective of this Phase II SBIR is to develop a transducer using next generation ceramic technology, and wideband amplifier with enhanced magnetics to form a system that will operate in conjunction with spread spectrum digital communications software to enable acoustic communications from a submarine while operating at speed and depth. The research innovation behind project lies in the use of ...

The overarching objective of this sequential Phase II SBIR is to ruggedize, enhance and transition small form-factor HF, VHF and UHF Direction Finding (DF) systems to confirmed customers, providing them with a reliable and accurate DF capability, range to target, geolocation, and user-friendly interfaces. The primary target platform is the Beechcraft King Air 200/350 and its military variants. The ...

The ROBOpilot Unmanned Aircraft Conversion System is a modular system that rapidly converts existing manned aircraft into an autonomous unmanned aircraft without making permanent modifications to the host aircraft. ROBOpilot autonomously pilots an aircraft using the instruments and controls available to a human pilot. An onboard flight computer with autopilot will gather aircraft state data and ma ...

This research continues to progress the Next Generation Electronic Warfare Human Machine Interface (HMI) concepts as well as additional EW capability enhancements to improve the efficiency of the EW operator in the evaluation of emissions in the electromagnetic spectrum. Progeny Systems proposes to develop modular, extensible and open HMI solutions for the AN/BLQ-10 EW System that reduces the amou ...

The objective of the Follow-On Phase II effort is to enhance the capability and performance of Figure Engineerings Advanced Continuous Time-Adaptive Ventilation (ACTAV) technology by creating a stable test bed for insertion and validation. To further the operator safety improvements that ACTAV provides, Figure Engineering will also develop, test, implement, and validate a remote breathing zone (RB ...

Future all-electric warships demand improved electrical power density, conversion efficiency and system reliability. High Power converters are required for applications such as electromagnetic rail gun, EMALS, sensors and propulsion on comparable displacement, future ship platforms (see Figure 1). Development of 6500 V/100 A SiC MOSFET based modules, with a cost structure of < $45/Ampere are requi ...

The objective of this Phase II technical effort is to extend the software technologies developed in Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) N05-53 through improving and maturing Informedb Enterprise with enhanced roadmap capabilities to provide a dynamic engineering, planning, graphing, visualization, and decision making assessment tool and to demonstrate its applicability to a variety of Progra ...

Prime Photonics proposes to build on our successful performance in the Base portion of the Phase I SBIR effort to increase the TRL of a novel non-intrusive unseeded flow characterization system based on unseeded Filtered Rayleigh Scattering (FRS). We propose to demonstrate the technology at a TRL of 4 at the end of the 24-month Phase II Base project. Under this Phase II effort, Prime Photonics wil ...
