Award Data

High-data rate communication with undersea objects is desirable at speed and depth, and it has long been recognized that lasers in the blue-green portion of the electromagnetic spectrum are the most viable option for penetration of seawater. In order to optimize signal-to-noise in daylight conditions the optimal wavelengths to work at is one of the Fraunhofer bands in the blue-green where the sola ...

Technical Product Definition Information. In this activity we created a preliminary technical data package (TDP) at a Level 3 Production per MIL-STD-31000 definition. A TDP is a technical description of an item adequate for supporting an acquisition strategy, development, manufacturing development, production, engineering, and logistics throughout the item's lifecycle. The technical description de ...

This proposal introduces an approach from Brighton Cromwell to Improve product availability and increase competition through the development of Small Business eligible manufacturing utilizing the DLA’s Land and Maritime (L&M) Limited Source National Stock Number (NSN) List. The list contains NSNs with an Annual Demand Value (ADV) >$10K currently sourced with only 1-2 manufacturers. We are offeri ...

Develop innovative methods and associated tools to support the definition of Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) capabilities and their individual instruments using an Open Architecture (OA) approach, to allow for precise understanding of the ATE, interoperability across Navy and DoD electronics maintenance, and improved utilization of Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) tools to support ATE operations. Th ...

Safe operation of the current Navy lighterage system can be performed in Sea State 3 and below. At present, sea state estimation is made by Navy personnel and is dependent on their level of experience.Creare is developing an automated Sea State Predictor (SSP) to provide a more accurate and reliable determination of the current sea state. The system relies on measurement of heave of the warping tu ...

This SBIR effort will develop the OptiNav Functional Beamforming tool to make noise source characterizations of aircraft/engines be simpler, faster, and cheaper. Many platforms do not have funding to afford the cost of current noise characterization procedures; however, this project directly addresses that gap. The work under this project will be to further develop the OptiNav, Inc. FB capability ...

Navy’s digital modular radios (DMRs) have been upgraded to support a wide range of waveforms (e.g. SRW, HAVE QUICK, SINCGARS, SATCOM, and MUOS). To further increase the fleet’s warfighting capability, the U.S. Navy is interested in reducing the number of single function RF systems required on Navy ships and submarines. EMBARC (Efficient Multi-carrier Broadband Amplifier for Radio Communication ...

Aircrew on the E 2D Advanced Hawkeye are being challenged by exceptionally high head vibration and acoustic noise. This compromises crew safety, voice communications, and mission success. The aircrew need help. Research by the Navy and Creare shows that the aircrew helmet resonates at the aircraft’s blade pass frequency (BPF), thereby exacerbating the vibration and noise experienced by the aircr ...

Mentis Sciences Inc. proposes to develop Technical Data Packages and generate Source Approval Requests for 13 critically needed components for the Air Launched Cruise Missile engine platform, the F107, which is no longer supported by the OEM, but is scheduled to remain in service through at least 2030. Under previous funding, Mentis has worked with the F107 engineering team to identify and priorit ...

Rigid Wall Shelters (RWS) are an integral building block for Marine Corp operations and support a multitude of operational needs from maintenance and repair operations to command posts and medical operations. There are several critical operational deficiencies with metal RWS. The weight of legacy systems and lack of insulation result in a high cost to transport and difficulty heating and cooling i ...
