This project is the development of a single crystal underwater acoustic modem transducer for Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUV) which is compact in size, operates at low to moderately low center frequencies, in a broad band frequency range to accommodate state-of-the-art binary, FSK and spread spectrum signaling schemes that promote covertness. The device exploits the high coupling coefficient an ...

Reliable System Services Corporation (RSS Corp.) proposes an 18-month program, with a 6-month option, to analyze, design, develop and demonstrate the feasibility of a low cost, low power, high capacity, robust RF communications network using UAV relays in an ocean environment. The developed architecture and design will be suitable for the Navy tactical environment and consistent with FORCEnet. A s ...

The objective of this Phase II investigation is to optimize the coating process to apply a Nickel Boron coating on small barrel bores and develop pre-production prototypes of MK46 5.56mm Machine Gun Barrels using Ni-B coatings. The innovation proposes to address the shortcomings of the current Electroplated Hard Chrome bore coating, and is an advancement in surface finishing technology that provi ...

This project evaluated the feasibility of developing software to address the following problems: (1) analysis, simulation, design and planning of insulation, surface preparation, and coating of ships, and (2) integration of automatic planning and design tools with the popular Ship Constructor CAD package. Tools to support estimating and planning of shipboard surface preparation and coating have ...

The project is a movable self supporting interior environmental enclosure for securing to specific areas on a flight deck of an aircraft carrier is most any weather conditions an providing an interior environment suitable for non-skid coating removal and application within the range of the required specifications.

As noted in a Congressional Budget Cost Report in 1999, each flight hour for an H-60 helicopter costs approximately $12,000 per hour of flight. A properly-designed training device for LSE Students could supplement or replace live helicopter flight hours, and has the potential to provide LSE’s that are better trained to handle Emergency Conditions as well saving a great deal of money. This Phas ...

Digital Authentication Technologies, Inc. (“DAT”) proposes to begin design, build, debug and testing of its innovative physics-based system that has been developed in its NAVAIR Phase I contract. As the Phase I work describes, the DAT system introduces physics-based strong authentication and location awareness to defeat hacker tools and add additional layers of protection to currently exposed ...

The objective of this Phase II SBIR development effort is to automate the process for extracting obstruction clearance features. These processes developed here will have direct applicability to other automated geospatial feature extraction problems. This development will include combining computer vision based algorithms and photogrammetric techniques to automatically extract vertical obstruction ...

Hydraulic and lubricating fluids provide critical functionality for Los Angeles Class Attack Submarines. Submarine hydraulic systems continuously experience salt water intrusion that results in contamination of hydraulic fluid and leads to component failures. Our objective is to develop a commercially-viable, lightweight Portable Filtration Unit (PFU) capable of restoring hydraulic fluid to better ...
