ALPHATECH proposes to design, develop, and demonstrate an integrated multi-source sensor simulation (MS3). It will be built upon a software infrastructure specifically designed for the integration of legacy software components. ALPHATECH will exercise theproposed architecture by integrating several existing simulation components through a well defined process that will adapt them for architectural ...

Naval intelligence centers validate, correlate, and analyze information from various sources (cryptologic sensors, tactical airborne reconnaissance, units in contact with the enemy, etc.) to generate Indications and Warning (I&W) in support of friendlyoperations. Increasingly, naval intelligence centers are deployed in littoral regions around the world. The close proximity of littoral threats si ...

The Navy is rapidly transitioning to the electronic presentation of maintenance documentation (IETMs), combined with advances in automated machine diagnostics. The overall technical objective for Phase I was to demonstrate the feasibility of using a singlesource of IETM data to effectively support maintenance aiding and maintenance training. In order to become experts, maintenance technicians need ...

Technological advances (e.g., advanced electronic classrooms, video tele-training, and web-based curricula), quickly being incorporated into instructional environments, offer the instructor increased flexibility. To maximize learning we must explore notonly technology but the multiple factors that impact training effectiveness. It is not enough to simply incorporate the most recent technological ...

Technological advances such as advanced electronic classrooms, video tele-training, and web-based curricula offer flexibility for training not possible in traditional settings. Computer-supported training must be more than a simple digitization oftraining materials. Rather, training has to support engaged learning and leverage the full range of resources employed in classroom-based instruction, ...

Undersea sensors require means of transporting data to an end-user. Acoustic modem networks are being developed for this purpose, but they are limited by battery power, network priorities, and requirements for clandestine operations. We propose a systemsapproach to reducing the impact on the network of moving large volumes of data, using both low rate and high rate acoustic telemetry, combined w ...

Military aircraft require corrosion inhibiting sealants around fasteners gaps to prevent fuel leaks, water ingress, and corrosion. Conventional selants must be wet-applied during assembly, which results in excessive labor costs and downtime. Limitationsof conventional polyether and polysulfide-based sealants include: the slowness of cure below room temperature, contraction during cure, and cumbe ...

The Navy is under pressure to reduce shipboard manning levels in the face of ever-intensifying tactical responsibilities, battlespace tempo, and weapons lethality. There is thus an increasing need for team coordination, cohesiveness, and especiallyadaptability in operator task allocation during intense tactical operations. We propose to address this by designing a generic distributed agent-based A ...

The overall goal of this project will be to develop an automated sampling and chemical analysis system that can be used for detecting trace concentration of explosives in marine environments. Such an analysis system can be integrated into a smallautonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) and employed for the identification and mapping of unexploded ordnance in bodies of water. Phase I will involve the d ...
