Commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) components may be used to reduce the cost of the laser electronics needed for mid-infrared lasers being developed for infrared countermeasures applications. The Phase II project will develop circuit designs for these laser electronics using COTS components and demonstrate these laser electronics can operate in military environments. The laser electronics will be v ...

Vessels of all types have a limited useful life and must ultimately be dismantled or scuttled as artificial reefs, with wastes properly disposed. The Navy is seeking a means of removing hydrocarbons from inactive ships prior to ship dismantling or sinking as an artificial reef. The Phase I project investigated the use of a biological/mechanical system that was capable of removing free-phase oil w ...

PHASE BEHAVIOR STUDIES OF THE HFO(2)/TA(2)O(5) AND HFC/TAC SYSTEMS ARE PROPOSED. THIS WORK EMPHASIZES MEASUREMENT OF LIQUIDOUS TEMPERATURES AND WILL IDENTIFY PHASES PRESENT BETWEEN ABOUT 1500 DEG C AND 2500 DEG C. THE PROPOSAL INCLUDES NOVEL IN SITU METHODS INVOLVING CO(2) LASER HEATING AND THE USE OF ANNEAL QUENCH METHODS. A DIFFUSION COUPLE APPROACH IS PROPOSED AS THE MOST EFFICIENT MEANS OF EVA ...

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 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 ...

This Phase II Small Business Innovative research effort pools the expertise of a qualified team of protective coating specialists to demonstrate the next generation of high performance coating materials for the Marine Corps. The objective of this Phase II SBIR is to demonstrate the effectiveness of a single pack, zero-VOC Chemical Agent Resistant Coating in a pilot-scale field deployment scenario.

During Phase I of this project MicroEnergy Technologies demonstrated a prototype universal chemical, biological and radiological sensor. Defense against Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) has become increasingly critical national security need. Current technologies are generally targeted for single type of threat. In addition, the biological sensors are generally non-real-time and the current unive ...

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 ...

Development of accurate and effective new diagnostic and prognostic capabilities for JSF PHM will require extensive data on both health and faulted systems states. While healthy signatures can be collected quickly and easily, faulted systems are only observed rarely, and duplicating faulted conditions with seeded fault tests is time-consuming and expensive. Simulation models for faulted conditions ...
