Alternate PNT with eLoran (APEL) for Military Navigation in GPS Denied Environments
SBC: MAYFLOWER COMMUNICATIONS COMPANY, INC. Topic: N161002The objective of this SBIR program is to demonstrate a navigation system that can provide continuous position estimate accurate to better than 100 m (with 10 m goal) in GPS-contested environments by augmenting a military GPS receiver with eLoran signals and other small size, weight and power (SWaP) sensors. With eLoran signals being high-powered and transmitted at low-frequency, they are not disru ...

Stealthy RF-based Alternative PNT (STRAP)
SBC: CHARLES RIVER ANALYTICS, INC. Topic: N161002GPS performance can be degraded or disabled by radiofrequency (RF) jamming, RF interference, cyberattacks on satellite controls, or attacks on satellites/ground stations. Given these GPS vulnerabilities, military systems must be NAVWAR complianti.e., not reliant on a single source of positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) data. Possible alternative PNT technologies include E-LORAN; improved ine ...

OHIO Class External Hull Antifouling
SBC: BOSTON ENGINEERING CORPORATION Topic: N161044The US Navy, and other maritime operators, has a problem with fouling on hull surfaces. Coatings that may be effective when submarines are out at sea are not as effective when the boat is maintained in a static state for long periods of time. The skilled manpower needed, the radiological considerations, and the methods and tools used currently to address fouling in static situations collectively a ...

Towed Array Capstan Cover
SBC: PHYSICAL SCIENCES INC. Topic: N171068Many current submarine systems use the OA-9070B or E capstan towed array deployment and retrieval system. The OA-9070 is dependent on friction to generate marginally adequate deployment force to push the array through the friction inherent in the aft rollers. Repeated deployment and retraction cycles smooth the capstan surface, reducing the coefficient of friction to unacceptable levels.Physical S ...

Improved Coating Material for SSN Capstan Rim
SBC: ZKXKZ LLC Topic: N171068ZKxKZ proposes to identify and demonstrate several new material solutions that will upgrade the performance of the surface coating of capstans used in the towed array handling systems of SSNs. Candidate surfacing materials will be selected with the objective of demonstrating a 40% increase in friction coefficient between the coating and towed array, compared to the current baseline of shot peened ...

Improved Skirt System for Air Cushion Vehicles
SBC: Kubota Research Associates Topic: N171042Both the Deep Skirt and Advanced Skirt System material used on Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) experience significant wear during normal operations, which require expensive, time-consuming maintenance repairs. The US Navy is looking for innovative new material and manufacturing method for skirt systems to improve it durability and reduces Total Ownership Cost (TOC). Rubber skirts experience two m ...

Mitigation of Helmet Vibration
SBC: ACENTECH INCORPORATED Topic: N172120Acentech will leverage its expertise and considerable experience in solving vibration and noise problems to develop and provide finite element models and modal and transfer function analyses of the E-2D flight helmet to address the problem of pilot exposure to excessive vibration/noise related primarily to propeller blade passage tones. High-fidelity ANSYS FE models of the helmet composite shell i ...

Flight Head and Hearing Protection System
SBC: CREARE LLC Topic: N172120Upgrades to the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye inadvertently resulted in higher acoustic loading at its propellers blade pass frequency (BPF). This frequency overlaps with vibrational modes of the standard fixed-wing aircrew helmet, the HGU-68/P. As a combined result, E-2D pilots are experiencing exceptionally large vibrational and acoustic (noise) loading, potentially compromising aircrew performance and ...

True Awareness Hearing Protector
SBC: TRITON SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: N163D01Triton Systems will mature the technology for their previously developed low cost, passive ear protection device to be worn as an earplug and/or in a headset that will allow the warfighter to maintain situational awareness but filter out harmful noise threats for both impulse and continuous noise.

Inflatable Multi-Platform Recovery System
SBC: TRITON SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: N172124Naval Special Warfare operations depend on mobility. A man-portable, rapidly deployable, inflatable surface system to facilitate the high-speed surface tow of a disabled undersea vehicle such as the SEAL Delivery Vehicle (SDV) and Shallow Water Combat Submersible (SWCS) is needed. Triton Systems proposes a packable inflatable system that deploys and installs rapidly and simply. During Phase I, the ...
