Service members are exposed to high noise environments on a daily basis. Aviation, mechanized, light and armored units are all exposed to environments well in excess of the permissible noise levels. In aviation alone, flight crews spend a majority of their day in aircraft and, even when not flying, are still subjected to the high noise levels of an active airfield. Ground crews carry headsets with ...

Oceanit proposes to further develop, optimize and implement the approach from Phase I and demonstrate the process improvements with brush LHE alkaline Zn-Ni plating. Mechanical and environmental properties, as well as process techniques, will be optimized and validated. Component alloy qualification testing and actual part service evaluation testing will be conducted.

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 ...

Oceanit proposes to design and develop a plug-and-play cyber sand box laboratory with safeguards to allow testing of computer/electronic devices against cyber attacks.

The U.S. Navy currently utilizes a number of towed systems from surface ship and submarines for sensing and communication applications. In a number of these cases, a tow cable extends either down from a surface ship or up from a submarine through the upper part of the water column where seawater temperature can be both highly variable vs. depth and dynamic in time and geographic location. Having a ...

Seam failures of flexible inflatable hulls is the primary reason for failures of military RHIBS and CRCs.These failures are a result of the current manufacturing methods being used, and which have been in place for over fifty years.Whats more, the manufacturing methods and fragmented supply chain of these hulls result in very long and unreliable lead times.These shortcomings impact the survivabili ...

Oceanit proposes to develop and demonstrate novel, tailored, designer separator materials with optimized properties to maximize lithium-ion cell/battery performance, life, safety and reliability.

The Navy uses towed arrays in the long-range tracking of submarine contacts. The acoustic performance of the array is dependent on the straightness of the array which is subject to drooping as ship velocities decrease and to bending and turning due to currents. The Navy is seeking innovation to autonomously straighten the array and protect the array from damage due to seafloor dragging. Makai deve ...

Enhancing existing handheld, broadband long wave infrared (LWIR) imaging systems with multi-color capability will enable new applications for infantry with no increase in overall weight load. Applications enabled by a multi-color LWIR sensor potentially spectral target detection, day/night operation and enhanced personnel target detection range. The technology will be able to seamlessly toggle bet ...
