This proposal addresses the continued development of an innovative seat cushion design that actively promotes healthy blood circulation in the upper legs and buttocks by reducing the seated pressure where blood flow is blocked; this restores oxygenated blood to these regions, which reduces or eliminates symptoms of numbness and muscle ache. The Phase II effort will initially focus on rigorous quan ...

Bistatic radar processing by airborne signals intelligence (SIGINT) and other intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance (ISR) platforms affords covert, passive exploitation of adversary or own-force radar systems to improve tactical situational awareness and fused intelligence products. Traditionally these bistatic signals have been ignored or unexploited by existing SIGINT/ELINT. The bistatic si ...

This effort to improve the capabilities of the ESM system will increase the reliability and reduce lifecycle support costs of the Radar Wideband (RWB) subsystem on submarines. Analog to digital converter (A/D) based digital receivers will be applied to yield improvements in Radar signal acquisition and processing. In-phase and Quadrature (I/Q) data streams will be created from which intra pulse mo ...

Space Micro proposes to develop a space qualified antenna for CubeSat application. This antenna will meet all of the space environments including vacuum and radiation. It must be capable of integration with other space communications electronics and also compatible with CubeSat P-POD housing. Space Micro will perform test and evaluation of this antenna, followed by integration into a selected Cube ...

The Navy wants to extend the life of the MH-60R ALFS Transducer NiCad battery pack to be sure that failure of the battery pack does not significantly impact the failure rate of the ALFS Transducer. Battery packs typically fail before the expected life of the individual cells because of the lack of observability of the cells during charging and discharging. CornerTurn will add additional circuitry ...

SA Photonics has developed a new class of digital night vision head mounted displays, which represent a breakthrough in digital night vision with their low-profile digital sensors and high resolution, wide field of view displays. For the first time in a head mounted display (HMD), night vision imagery can be digitally enhanced and recorded. The purpose of the current STTR project is to develop a ...

Toyon proposes to develop a scenario-based radio simulator and analysis tool which can be used to simulate, analyze, and test the next generation of mobile, multi-protocol tactical systems. The tool, based upon Toyons Geospatial Analysis Planning Support (GAPS) Toolbox, provides a geographic information system (GIS) framework complete with an intuitive graphical user interface, detailed 3-D enviro ...

In Phase II, Solute Consulting will produce a prototype robust collaboration capability for Navy Command and Control, Navy Wave with the following technical objectives: 1 - Implement and demonstrate a federated, multi-server, Navy Wave prototype, 2 - Simulate Disconnected, Intermittent, and Limited (DIL) network connectivity issues, and demonstrate the ability to adapt to these conditions, without ...

nanoPrecision Products (nPP) proposes the development of a new family of hermetic multi-fiber optic feed-through sub-assemblies and the related optoelectronics packaging attachment processes for avionics fiber optic transceivers. A low-cost manufacturing process will be developed to produce the feed-through components. New hermetic sealing techniques will enable high yield, high coupling efficie ...

The Navy is looking to increase the availability of space grade components, such as resistors, which are sometimes single sourced. While DoD originally was the driver for and major customer of electronics components in the 1960s, today the total DoD usage of electronics components is now lest than 1%. These economic realities have caused a current situation in which space programs have a limited a ...
