Oceanit proposes to develop technologies to improve the acoustics performance of abrasive blasting nozzles for paint and surface coatings removal.

The proposed effort aims to develop technologies to improve the acoustics performance of abrasive blasting nozzles for paint and surface coatings removal. The objective is to investigate the noise generation mechanisms of abrasive blasting operations and develop a quiet, effective and efficient nozzle. This development is to optimize the acoustics and productivity performance of blasting nozzles a ...

Touchstone Research Laboratory (TRL) has identified acetate fibers with structural characteristics analogous to heritage viscose rayon, which suggests they will be very promising Carbon Cloth Phenolic (CCP) reinforcements for Solid Rocket Motor (SRM) nozzles. Furthermore, acetate fibers are manufactured in the United States and are commercially available and deemed sustainable. Accordingly, TRL, ...

A pointed slender body at high angle of attack will generate two symmetric vortices resulting from the separation of flow on the leeward side of the body. At critical angles of attack, the vortex shedding becomes asymmetric due to micro-imperfections present at the nose of the body. This asymmetric vortex shedding can result inside forces that may exceed the control capability of the vehicle, an ...

We propose to develop an active motion-compensation platform for roll-on/roll-off (RO/RO) cargo vessel discharge operations onto a floating platform that reliably and safely enables the military to supply needed cargo for military operations and humanitarian assistance in conditions up to sea state 5. The proposed platform will provide a more cost-effective means of enhancing cargo throughput than ...

A craft capable of transporting an ACV from a well deck ship to shore at speeds in excess of 25 knots is being proposed. This craft, referred to as a Sled, is based on the use of inflatable drop stitch panels coupled to a simple aluminum frame. This approach offers the means to collapse the sled in constituent parts that can be stored in a small volume. The propulsion system is also modularized fo ...

A craft capable of transporting an ACV from a well deck ship to shore at speeds in excess of 30 knots is being proposed. This craft, referred to as a “Sled,” is based on the use of inflatable drop-stitch panels coupled to a simple aluminum frame. This approach offers the means to collapse the sled in constituent parts that can be stored in a small volume. The propulsion system is also modulari ...

In this Phase I SBIR, Oceanit will develop a novel, powerful, adaptable cyber defense capability to support autonomous Air Force weapons systems.

The single biggest technical challenge in developing an amphibious vehicle with the required speed and range is this: the hull shape required for an effective land-mobile armored fighting vehicle produces too much hydrodynamic drag and too little buoyancy to achieve the speed and endurance required to support an over-the-horizon amphibious assault. However, innovative adaptive hull devices compris ...
