The opportunity of interest is the introduction and application of a bistatic tool set for both surface and submarine Mid-Frequency (MF) active sonar systems to enhance anti-submarine warfare (ASW) capability in strike group or coordinated surface and submarine ASW operations. The ability to localize threat submarine forces in a battlefield scenario by judicious application of bistatic capability ...

A hybrid lithium ion battery / super capacitor energy storage device is developed that uses the high power capability of the super capacitor to satisfy pulsed power load requirements such that stress on the lithium ion batteries is reduced. This results in extended discharge time and higher efficiency utilization of the battery stack.

We propose to develop an acoustic and vibration noise monitoring system for investigating navy ship noise. BTech will explore the different vector sensor technologies, packaging, data recording, mounting, and noise software analysis.

The DoD uses flexible fuel bladders in multiple air, ground, and sea vehicles because: 1) they easily fit into almost any space, 2) they are corrosion proof, and can often be self-sealing and explosion proof, 3) they allow for customized placement of fittings and connection points, 4) they collapse as they empty, thereby eliminating the need for venting and minimizing fuel sloshing and its associa ...

Navy combat systems employ many underwater acoustic sensors to detect submerged threats. The performance of these sensors must be maintained at high levels for the combat system to perform effectively. These sensors are exposed to harsh environments and operating conditions that, over time, compromise sensor health resulting in degraded detection performance. Additionally, excessive radiated noise ...

Electronic Warfare (EW) systems Human Machine Interface (HMI) is used to classify and correlate electronic emissions. The HMI must maximize operator efficiency and support effective decision making and must create a workspace that reduces the operator?s manual interaction with the system. In order to capture the HMI requirements, SEA CORP will follow a structured process to study the AN/BLQ-10 ope ...

The design and development of compact, low frequency, broadband acoustic source technology is considered for the Mobile ASW Training Targets. The Phase I effort considers evaluation of several novel low frequency transducer designs and exploration of the associated trade space, including performance, size and cost. Design feasibility is supported with calculations of expected performance and by pr ...

Numerous carbon fiber uni products are widely used in the composites industry. These various products vary in cost, processing method, and final composite properties obtained. For example, previous studies suggest that crimp and/or thermoplastic stitch sites in traditional woven uni and stitch-bonded fabrics, respectively, lead to limited fatigue properties relative to composites derived from auto ...

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant Wound healing is an intricately regulated process broadly characterized by phases of inflammation proliferation and remodeling Imbalances in any one of these phases can result in inadequate healing scar formation or in the development of chronic wounds such as diabetic ulcers Diabetic ulcers are responsible for the majority of lower extremity amputations ...
