The MAI team is developing a solution for a portable expeditionary AN/UYQ-100 USW-DSS unit that will have standalone and integrated Consolidated Afloat Network Enterprise Services (CANES) capabilities to further enhance individual unit and watchteam team ASW & ASUW capabilities. The MAI team will incorporate a robust embedded interactive training curriculum applicable to operators and supervisors. ...

Triton Systems, Inc. and partners propose to develop a 3D motion-controlled technology to eliminate or greatly reduce the need for tag line handlers when transferring boats, craft, and other cargo loads to, from, and on vessels. Current crane lifting operations are inherently hazardous and require tag line handlers to orientate suspended loads from vessel mounted cranes. Triton Systems’ solution ...

The paradigm changing Long Range Acoustic Communications System (LoRACS) is proposed to provide the Navy with the capability to reliable alert and control pre-deployed UUVs in an on-shelf environment.  Using environmental adaptability, innovative featureless signals capable of being reliably detected and decoded at very low SNRs and innovative transmit and receive arrays, the LoRACS provides rel ...

This proposal is presented by the team of delResearch, Image Acoustics, and Falmouth Scientific, and investigates transducers and wavaforms required for reliable long-range acoustic communication.  Phase 1 will leverage delResearch experience and tools from PopotoModem ACOMMS product to investigate known and new waveforms at various data rates and probabilities of detection and interception.  Ph ...

The Navy has explored the use of High Temperature Superconductors (HTS) to address some of their increasing power needs.  HTS Degaussing is the most developed application and HTS Degaussing has been designed into the LPD surface combatant.  Although HTS ADG is addressing the key challenges associated with copper DG systems, initial cable installations on LPD28 (lead ship) have identified some in ...

We propose the development of Active Low-Voltage Modulators (ALVM) based on the thin film lithium niobate (TFLN) photonic-integrated circuit (PIC) platform to realize enhanced radio-frequency (RF) links that are compact, efficient, and can be scalably manufactured using a commercial wafer-scale production capability. The proposed modulator design combines a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) wi ...

NDT Corp. will take the currently developed ACTT system, which can accurately assess the internal condition of concrete crossties and increase its speed.FRA 23-FR1 requests a system that at high speeds can assess both the internal and external condition of concrete crossties.Currently there are systems that can perform the external assessment at the required speeds.However, there is no system that ...

In response to N231-032, Launchable Mini Glider for Variable Payloads, Triton Ocean Systems will provide an open architecture subsea sensor platform based on Triton’s proven low-cost ocean tools: (1) the expendable subDART glider, (2) the LIMBIC inertial navigation system, (3) the openORB surface buoy, (4) the PBOF rotary actuator, (5) the BEM extreme-low-cost buoyancy engine module. Triton has ...

Mine countermeasure (MCM) operations employ neutralizers with a small explosive charge to engage naval mines. During the engagement, the neutralizer approaches a targeted mine and detonates its explosive charge, which can cause a sympathetic detonation or lower-order reaction in the naval mine. Battle damage assessment (BDA) to determine the outcome of the attack currently requires a follow-on mis ...

SI2 Technologies (SI2), an ARA Company, proposes to enable high data rate beyond-line-of-sight (BLOS) communications on Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs) by developing a low-profile, wideband active electronically steered array (AESA) to provide Ku- and Ka-band SATCOM links for emerging LEO constellations. During Phase I, SI2 will develop a high-fidelity AESA system model and perform a series of ...
