The Navy has identified the need for a software enhancement to the DSSS mode wideband anti-jam modem (WAM) to optimize network performance of the SATCOM link. Traditional networking approaches are incapable of providing mission-efficient and resilient operations at low information rates. To overcome this limitation of the state of the art, Architecture Technology Corporation (ATCorp) developed an ...

SEA CORP will leverage the innovative technologies developed under the prior SBIR Phase II project and extend the Research & Development (R&D) activities to the development of critical submarine combat system payload integration efforts. In the previous effort, components were successfully developed facilitating integration of Improved Submarine Launched Mobile Mine (ISLMM) capability aboard subma ...

The goal of this Phase II SBIR is to extract more information from existing submarine acoustic sensors through a highly innovative inter- and intra-sensor correlation algorithmic, in order to provide U.S. submarines with increased acoustic superiority over increasingly quiet adversaries. U.S. adversaries are continuously improving their acoustic quieting technologies through efforts such as marine ...

QuesTek Innovations LLC, a leader in the field of Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME), proposes to design and optimize a new Nickel Aluminum Bronze (NAB) alloy for use as feedstock material in directed energy deposition (DED)-based additive manufacturing (AM) in order to enable the development of AM technologies for quicker, cheaper, and more reliable production and repair of NAB ...

NAVAIR has identified the need for operating mobile tablets in multi-level secured, disjointed mission environments to establish a common Electronic Kneeboard (EKB) capability across all United States Naval (USN) and United States Marine Corps (USMC) aviation platforms. This will enable access to digital publications, imagery, and dynamic data in USN and USMC aircraft, enhancing aircrew situationa ...

This STTR project proposed by CU Aerospace (CUA) and research partner the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) will provide innovative thermal management systems-level analysis tools to the Navy, enabling detailed investigations of air platform thermal management issues associated with electronics loads (e.g., avionics/radar upgrades for military aircraft). The Phase I effort focuses ...

QuesTek Innovations LLC, a leader in the field of Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME), proposes to develop an ICME analysis tools involving Bayesian analysis, variance analysis, uncertainty management and database comparison and assessment functionalities to address the issue of database and model quality. QuesTek will apply the computational tool to improve databases and models ...

MicroLink Devices proposes to integrate its high-efficiency, lightweight, and flexible solar sheets to the Puma UAS platform to significantly extend the flight endurance of the aircraft. The Navy has a growing fleet of small unmanned aerial system (UAS) vehicles that enable tactical intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities not possible before, and a need to extended mission ...

In this Phase II SBIR program, QuesTek Innovations, a leader in the field of integrated computational materials engineering (ICME), proposes to design and develop new aluminum alloys tailored for the unique processing conditions and challenges of Additive Manufacturing (AM) processing. QuesTek is uniquely suited to rapidly designing new aluminum alloys specifically optimized for AM processing usin ...

The objective of the proposal is to reduce the cost of fabrication of sapphire optical hyper-hemispheres for submarine masts. Due to the nature of sapphire, deriving complex geometries from grown boules using current conventional fabrication techniques is one of the major contributors to cost. Removing excess material requires long diamond tool grinding cycles. New advances in ultrasonic technolog ...
