Veryst Engineering will design and prototype a submergeable energy harvesting device capable of generating 10 to 20 Watts for years. The device is based on a Veryst technology using stored energy capture and release. The technology can harvest power from alternating forces in mooring lines using encapsulated designs. The technology has been proven on a subWatt level. This project will address the ...

Maintenance activities cost DoD $81 billion a year and maintainers have only limited diagnostic capabilities for weapons systems life cycle management. Advances in sensors, embedded systems, and network information systems, make it possible to achieve unprecedented diagnostics. Luna will leverage advanced MEMS and nanotechnology to develop ultra-miniature smart sensors and network nodes for retrof ...

This program focuses on the delivery of practical corrosion monitoring capability to the Department of Defense for JSF and other aircraft. This includes surface-mounted and embedded MWM-Arrays for hidden metal loss monitoring, embedded dielectrometers (IDEDs) for moisture ingress monitoring, and hybrid solutions, using MWMs, IDEDs and new thermal sensors, for monitoring of corrosion in metal-metal ...

In this SBIR program, Agiltron proposes to develop a new class of wireless sensor nodes with integrated energy harvesters, which will be indefinitely self-powered, for use in Light Armored Vehicle (LAV) environments. The proposed effort leverages on industry-wide development in ultra-low power sensors and low-power wireless sensor network modules (IEEE 1451.5 standard), as well as Agiltron’s rec ...

An inductive power transfer approach is proposed, in which a backpack-deployed central power source will deliver power omni-directionally to battery-powered devices also borne by the Warfighter. Charge will be maintained in batteries without removal from the devices they are powering and without the need for cables and connectors. Phase I will address the major technical challenges, including inte ...

SI2 Technologies proposes to leverage its experience in the design of broadband, low profile array antennas to develop a wide band, high performance, low cost array to operate from S band through X band for Navy shipboard radar, electronic warfare (EW), and communications systems. SI2"s proposed array is based on proven technology, and will exhibit high efficiency, excellent pattern stability and ...

Auriga Measurement Systems, LLC and BAE Systems have teamed for this program. The objective is to reduce the intermodulation distortion (IMD) in wide bandgap solid state amplifiers that results from multi-tone signals. For this program, up to 8 simultaneous tones will be studied. To demonstrate the reduction of IMD, a power amplifier will be made that is capable of operating under multi-tone drive ...

The goal of the proposed program is to combine the functionality of the TR-232, TR-233 and ITC-1007 transducers into a single high performance transducer that can meet all of the Navys submarine acoustic communications requirements. All this needs to packaged into a form factor that fits within the current TR-233 footprint and include both transmit and receive response. Materials Systems Inc. (MS ...

Navy aircraft data are stored in several database management systems, both in digital format (data recorders and sensors) and paper records. Additionally, with respect to life management and maintenance, and repair and overhaul (MRO) activities. This approach results in multiplicity of data, some contradictory data, and incomplete data. An efficient Web-Based platform is needed with a reasoning en ...

In this Phase II effort, PEMDAS Technologies and Innovations (PEMDAS), in collaboration with subcontractor Westover Studios, proposes to develop a functional prototype of the Weather “Action Chain” Enabler (ACE) application using the technologies identified, knowledge gained, and preliminary design conceived during the Phase I effort. As designed, the Weather ACE application will be a non-intr ...
