Advanced Materials Technology, Inc responds to the Navy need to develop novel blast packaging materials that will contain blast effects of an accidentally detonated weapon, namely MK84 bomb. The container should be lightweight and strong for ease of handling and must meet shipboard fire, smoke, and toxicity requirements. We propose to develop a highly innovative and lightweight container structure ...

Advanced Technologies Group, Inc. proposes a Solid-state, Lightweight, Active-balance-system, Powered-by-light, (SLAP). The SLAP balancer will reduce or eliminate drive shaft vibrations caused by rotational dynamics of the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) lift fan drive shaft. Reduced shaft vibration will prevent drive shaft maintenance and improve support bearing life while reducing lift fan clutch w ...

In support of low flying air vehicle missions, the Navy seeks improved capabilities to detect automatically, geo-locate, and determine the height above ground of vertical obstructions over operational areas. Of importance is the ability to assess the horizontal and vertical accuracy of detection results and detect obstructions above specified heights. The solution must be able to process and fuse ...

Aerosol particles play an important role in visibility, acid deposition, climate, and human health, although large uncertainties remain in quantifying their impacts which depend on their chemical composition and atmospheric transformations. An innovative aerosol mass spectrometer (AMS)has been recently designed to fill a critical need for size-resolved, quantitative chemical composition data on a ...

The military and intelligence communities seek computing systems that can safely share information with different degrees of confidentiality. Systems achieving that goal are said to operate in multi-level mode, which indicates that the system contains information at several different levels of confidentiality but cannot share information with unauthorized users. Communities requiring multi-level ...

In this proposal we discuss several potential approaches to solutions of the current problems associated with transient gamma radiation circumvention in US Navy electronic systems. AET, Inc. proposes a comprehensive and cost-effective solution to the nuclear event circumvention problem, with wide application in US Navy strategic systems. Three options will be considered as solutions to the ra ...

Under this program, an evaluation will be performed to select the optimum electric power generation package to meet electrical output requirements within the confines of the propulsion system architecture - based on the results of the Phase I SBIR. Additionally, system configuration and integration issues will be addressed in an effort to quantify the following: · Document the prime power gener ...

The focus of the Phase I effort is to determine the feasibility of using new and innovative high temperature probe tools to evaluate the HCF issues directly related to a military turbofan low pressure turbine application. Specific focus of the Agilis efforts will be to develop increased life probes that will be capable of withstand long-term exposure to the aggressive operating environment of the ...

The proposed approach provides a high performance mechanical optical fiber splice of single piece construction. Leveraging on advanced glass and polymer material processing technologies, the new splice design offers advantageous attributes of compactness for use with minimum space intrusion, passive self-alignment of the fiber core in all directions, easy guided fiber insertion, quick action, a ...

Agiltron and University of Oklahoma jointly propose a revolutionary multi-band/multi-threat warning system having intrinsic advantages in sensitivity, speed, energy efficiency, reliability, and cost as compared with the competitive approaches. The device integrates three-band detection and identification within a single sensor, eliminating the need of pixel registration and data fusion from multip ...
