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 ...

A critical problem inherent in the available commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) QSFP+, and related transceiver (TRX) modules, E/O connectors and interfaces, is that none are designed and manufactured per relevant military standards; and therefore, all will suffer routine and frequent failures in environments that induce high vibration, radiation and/or broad thermal operating conditions. These failur ...

The following tasks are to be executed by the contractor in support of NAVAIR Materials Engineering Division AIR 4.3.4 and NAVSEA 04X3 Tactical Innovation Implementation Laboratory (TIIL). These tasks are in support of evaluating high pressure cold spray technology for the repair of A356 and E357 cast components, allowing the dimensional restoration and return to service of the components. The tas ...

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 ...

Marine life entanglement is one of the critical permitting issues that is currently constraining the growth of domestic offshore aquaculture. Synthetik Applied Technologies is proposing to develop a low-cost entanglement detection system for offshore aquaculture operators. The system will use a combination of near real-time satellite imagery, intelligent on-site cameras (both above and below the w ...

This Phase I proposal to Topic N191-022 describes BTech’s approach to develop a smaller diameter version of the ADC MK 4 Mod 1 countermeasure that will fit into a 3-inch diameter form factor. Designs of the electroacoustic transducers and tuning/matching circuits are described that enable low frequency coverage in a smaller diameter vehicle. The proposal draws on BTech’s experience with broadb ...

This Phase I proposal to Topic N191-023 describes BTech’s approach to develop a method to control depth of a 3-inch counter measure to replace legacy system that relies on a propeller. Designs and calculations are presented that support the feasibility of our proposed approach and that it will reduce energy consumption.

This Phase I proposal to Topic N191-038 describes BTech’s approach to transferring data through a submarine hull with a data capacity in excess of 10k bit/sec (bps) using piezoelectric ultrasonic transducers. Some of the communication techniques include signaling to increase data packet detection at lower power levels. The Phase I baseline design of the signal schemes and the transducer system w ...

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.
