Within the increasingly contested undersea operational arena, the Navy needs a tactical and competitive advantage in undersea sensing and detection through improved situational awareness with respect to environmental parameters, such as sound speed profile (SSP) and bottom properties, that affect overall submarine sonar sensor performance. Current approaches for enhancing environmental situational ...

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 ...

This project involves the development of innovative acoustic motion (accelerometer) sensors with increased tolerances to shock and improving commercial readiness. Investigations and developments of sensor that can withstand is considered.

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 ...

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 ...

Propel proposes to enhance the performance of the US Air Force's current Cold Weather Aviation System (CWAS) Boot by identifying and testing innovative materials and technologies in order to develop prototype boots that can enhance the thermal insulation performance of beyond that of the current CWAS boot. The innovative CWAS boots will be comfortable for daily use, meet all Safe to Fly requiremen ...

Future DoD and Navy missions require advances in current high voltage power electronics technology. In this proposed effort, Agnitron will investigate the limitations of existing MOCVD technology and propose solutions towards an MOCVD system for Gallium Nitride capable of growth rates over 10um per hour at pressures from low to super atmospheric. The goal is to achieve low background concentration ...

Propel will undertake research efforts to investigate seamless knitting for U.S. Navy knitwear as compared to cut and sew assembly. Propel will develop initial concepts and swatches and evaluate their technical feasibility, comparing promising concept to traditionally sewn seams using a variety of internationally recognised standards and test methods. Propel will also develop a design brief and co ...

The ultimate goal of this SBIR effort is to deliver improvements to existing Fleet electronic warfare support systems by using statistical learning techniques to aid in the classification and unique identification of modern radar emitters. Since software-defined and solid-state emitters do not have the analog features traditionally used for classification, we will use more abstract, but well-defin ...
