Improved head and hearing protection is required for aircraft maintainers working on a carrier flight deck during launch and recovery operations. Legacy Flight Deck Cranials are inadequate in many aspects including hearing protection, impact protection, cleaning, comfort, and compatibility with night vision devices (NVDs) and with chemical, biological, and radiological (CBR) equipment. In this p ...

The current use of polymer matrix composite materials aboard U.S. Navy ships has been limited to mainly exterior parts such as DDX topside structures, sonar bow domes, towed array fairings, diving planes, control surfaces and the prototype submarine sail dome for VA class submarines. There has been increasing interest in the development of composite materials for applications inside ships and sub ...

The US Navy is seeking improved capabilities to quickly and efficiently generate 3-D target templates (or “site models”) to support such operational systems as the Tomahawk Command and Control Systems (TC2S), Distributed Common Ground Station-Navy (DCGS-N), and collateral damage assessment (e.g., CDET and FastCD). There are two parts of interest. The first is to extract valid and reliable 2-D ...

The proposed Phase II effort will implement design recommendations set forth in the Phase I Final Report. The result will be an efficient, mobile ADC Mk2 (MADC) acoustic countermeasure device. The proposed technology insertion will retain the ADC Mk2 form factor and acoustic package, providing a mobile device that can be deployed with legacy launch systems. MADC will integrate RMP propulsor tec ...

Improved head and hearing protection is required for aircraft maintainers working on a carrier flight deck during launch and recovery operations. The current head protection is inadequate in many aspects including impact protection, hearing protection, cleaning, comfort, and compatibility with night vision goggles (NVGs) and with chemical, biological, and radiological (CBR) equipment. Creare pro ...

The development under this effort will take the innovative techniques and concepts implemented in IAVO’s GeoGenesis software and take them to the next level; making them available for operational usage. Currently GeoGenesis spans a broad range of applications including imagery exploitation, registration, orthorectification, mosaicking, as well as DEM generation and editing. Included in GeoGene ...

The Navy is seeking improved capabilities to generate automatically elevation data products and have updatable and retrievable output via an automated advanced tactical terrain database system, supporting the Tomahawk Cruise Missile Program. The envisioned end-to-end solution must be able to process, manage, and/or fuse a variety of inputs, and these include multi-source imagery as well as existin ...

The objective of the Phase II SBIR is to develop our GaN FET technology and satisfy the needs of NAVAIR communications systems. Specifically, we will be developing GaN FET technology that is suitable for Class D operation at frequencies up to 2GHz. We will achieve the program objectives by developing high frequency capable GaN FETs to support the switching speeds needed for the Class D PA. We will ...

GaN HEMTs have the ability to delivery very high power levels when operated at at high voltages (48V). Therefore, they are ideally suited for high power amplifiers such as the E2C HPA used in the Advanced Hawkeye aircraft. The current version of the E2C HPA utilizes silicon technology. We propose to develop a reliable 300W GaN packaged device that can be used to develop a significantly lighter and ...

Creare’s ultimate objective is to provide the Navy with an improved method for determining the elongation of aircraft carrier catapult cylinder rows. During Phase I, we developed benchtop prototypes and conducted extensive laboratory tests in representative environments and considered integration options in detail. Based on these prototypes, we established an overall system topology, shipboard ...
