Technology Service Corporation (TSC) proposes to further mature its promising Moving Target Focusing algorithm, which was developed and successfully demonstrated on simulated and measured airborne radar data in Phase I. Further work will be performed to customize this algorithm for the classified mode parameters of the F/A-18 APG-79 and/or other airborne Navy radar system. The objective is to deve ...

The US Navy faces daunting energy challenges that will further increase in severity, given the ever-increasing global demand for energy, diminishing energy supplies and demand for enhanced environmental stewardship. Additionally, noise is an important issue for the Navy due to the adverse effect it has on personnel and communities around naval air bases and training sites. Military combat aircraft ...

The Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) was designed to rapidly reconfigure for a variety of missions, such as Anti-submarine Warfare, Mine Countermeasures, and Surface Warfare. Currently, multiple and different material handling systems are used between the two LCS variants. For example, the Independence variant uses fork trucks, straddle carriers, and pallet jacks, while the Freedom uses straddle carrier ...

To advance the Automated Warhead Characterization System (AWCS), an innovative yet practical technology solution for NAVAIR, MSI proposes to perform Phase II of the AWCS SBIR project. By providing expanded and enhanced data acquisition capability, significantly reduced turnaround time, and streamlined operation for the end user, MSIs AWCS technology will improve the current arena testing process s ...

Signal Systems Corporations (SSC) Autonomous Multi-Static Performance Optimization and Recommendation Tool, or AMPORT, addresses several deficiencies with the current MPRA mission planning systems. Specifically, it improves the is the mission planning time and autonomously ingests the most current predicted environmental data available from the Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO), as well as in ...

In this SBIR program, Structured Materials Industries, Inc. www.structuredmaterials.com (SMI) is developing infrared-transparent, electromagnetic shield coatings which can be applied to electro-optic sensor windows and domes. The coatings will be deposited by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), which can deposit high quality films with very low stress and excellent uniformity on 3-dim ...

The Naval Air Warfare Center (NAWC) needs accurate, autonomous techniques for atmospheric correction of airborne imaging sensors to support flight testing, specifically validation of Noise-Equivalent Differential Temperature (NEDT) capabilities of Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) sensors used for Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) applications. A key aspect of validating NEDT spec ...

In the Base period of the Phase II of the Sonobuoys as Opportunistic Receivers (SOAR) SBIR, SSC will demonstrate the technology of using DIFAR receivers to receive data from an MH-60R ALFS system and that data then being linked back to the CV-TSC for processing and operator review. In order to do this SSC will show via classified simulation that using the DIFAR buoys in the SOAR system provides me ...

The proposed Hierarchical Evolutionary Programming (H-EP) technology focuses on improving threat classification and electronic warfare battle management using the Genetic Programming (GP) optimization paradigm. The applications of the technology include: (1) on-shore emitter reference library optimization for classification performance, (2) forward deployed near real-time emitter reference library ...

Navy needs improved reliability ignition systems for aerospace engines to reduce flameouts at high altitudes as well as reduce maintenance cost because of the need to frequently replace the conventional spark plug igniters for fuel ignition in the engines. Laser ignition, whose feasibility has been demonstrated in the past decade for conventional natural gas and gasoline engines is very well suite ...
