Award Data

Research conducted in Phase I identified a range of data sources providing vehicle related information to consumers shopping around or interested in knowing more about vehicles. Majority of the commercial data sources focused on vehicle features, new/used/CPO pricing, and vehicles listings. Such data sources lacked safety as their central focus, which is a concern for U.S. Department of Transporta ...

At present, there are no solutions for equipping Class 1 and 2 unmanned aerial system (UAS) platforms with weapons systems that provide the capability for opportunistic engagement of high value targets (HVT). Munitions deployed on larger UAS, and other fixed-wing SOCOM assets, greatly exceed the payload capacity of Class 1 and 2 UAS assets currently in use for intelligence, surveillance, and recon ...

To address the need for oceanography tactics training able to enhance community knowledge of how oceanography impacts antisubmarine-warfare (ASW) prosecution in both analysis and employment of tactical sonar systems, ARiA will build on the success of the Phase I effort to further develop the ESAIL Cloud software-based tool for generation of training content on tactical employment of oceanography t ...

The M197 Gatling gun is a useful and highly effective battlefield weapon used on a variety of rotary wing aircraft. Unfortunately, the heat and wear caused by its high rate of fire requires preventative maintenance procedures to ensure combat readiness. Lubricants have been implemented to reduce wear and inhibit corrosion on its steel components, but their application requires more frequent mainte ...

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 ...

Intelligence will be embedded into the V-22 Osprey’s existing power distribution boxes to produce a compact and efficient load management system that reacts to common power source failure conditions by automatically shedding loads in priority. The system measures power quality directly from all power source inputs and reacts quickly enough to prevent power source failure or shutdown before it ha ...

To address the Navy need for enhanced ambient-noise modeling for sonar-sensor performance estimation, sonar tactical decision aids (TDAs), and simulation-based training, ARiA will develop, demonstrate, and transition key building blocks for an enhanced multidimensional ambient-noise model (MDANM) needed to overcome the limitations of the current state of practice for noise modeling in sonar TDAs a ...

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 ...
