This objective of this proposal is to demonstrate an automated towed-body Deployment-Retrieval (D-R) system on ACTUV. A control system monitors ship motions and the relative distance between the water surface and deck at the stern. Data from the sensors are processed and the optimal time to release or capture the payload is determine and executed. The D-R system is intended to prevent damage due t ...

Oceanit will design and develop a capability for measuring the atmospheric absorbers along the line-of-sight of airborne Electro-Optical/Infra-Red (EO/IR) sensors in support of sensor flight tests. During Phase II, we will develop and demonstrate prototype hardware and software solution based on our Phase I findings.

Oceanit will develop radar reduction technology for a panoramic imaging submarine mast that has multiple optical windows.

The opportunity of interest is the introduction and application of a bistatic tool set for both surface and submarine Mid-Frequency (MF) active sonar systems to enhance anti-submarine warfare (ASW) capability in strike group or coordinated surface and submarine ASW operations. The ability to localize threat submarine forces in a battlefield scenario by judicious application of bistatic capability ...

UHAC has demonstrated the capability to operate in water, mud, sand, and over rough terrain. Its propulsion is based on buoyant cells acting as paddle wheels. This system of propulsion is not efficient. It is suggested that more efficient propulsion can be incorporated without compromising the all-terrain capabilities of the vehicle. Further, segregating the functions of buoyancy, propulsion, and ...

Propel will research, investigate, evaluate and rank fiber, yarn and textile technologies with the potential to be embedded into uniform items in order to design and develop a sailor garment system that enables linkage of ship systems to the human in the near, mid and long term.

We propose to develop an acoustic and vibration noise monitoring system for investigating navy ship noise. BTech will explore the different vector sensor technologies, packaging, data recording, mounting, and noise software analysis.

Oceanit proposes to develop technologies and tools for detecting and classifying malwares using methods and techniques which are orthogonal to existing methods of binary/code analysis, binary and behavioral signatures.

Numerous carbon fiber uni products are widely used in the composites industry. These various products vary in cost, processing method, and final composite properties obtained. For example, previous studies suggest that crimp and/or thermoplastic stitch sites in traditional woven uni and stitch-bonded fabrics, respectively, lead to limited fatigue properties relative to composites derived from auto ...

Navy combat systems employ many underwater acoustic sensors to detect submerged threats. The performance of these sensors must be maintained at high levels for the combat system to perform effectively. These sensors are exposed to harsh environments and operating conditions that, over time, compromise sensor health resulting in degraded detection performance. Additionally, excessive radiated noise ...
