ATR has proposed an interface system concept, Compensated Ramp Interface System (CRIS), comprised of a landing platform and a transfer platform. The landing platform provides continuous support to the ramp, and the transfer platform provides a transition interface for a vehicle to cross from the landing platform onto the floating platform deck. A monitoring and situation awareness system will be u ...

Human operators must closely monitor video for simultaneous situational awareness and threat assessment. For instance, urban environments in a state of constant activity generate numerous visual cues, each of which must be examined so that potential security breaches do not go unnoticed. The need for constant vigilance places a significant burden on the human operator, invariably leading to fatigu ...

The sensor data in the area of Navy Multi-INT could be multi-modal, including acoustic images, ocean profiles, infrared data, biometric data, vehicle tracking information, and facial profiles. Textual information, including intelligence reports or chat logs, will also be considered as sensor data. It is important to develop highly scalable and effective data warehousing and mining methods for in-d ...

The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) has identified the need for a technological capability to integrate legacy networking devices to support IPv6 routing architecture, as it seeks to transition the Automated Digital Networking System (ADNS) to IPv6. Leveraging the MSEC-T Phase II work on IPv6 multicast security and other related advanced networking technologies, Architecture Techn ...

An intelligent, open ALE (iALE) infrastructure that brings value to the NAE and is a viable commercial product outside of NAVAIR will have its foundation grounded in industry standards for common logistics business processes, aviation data exchanges, master data management, technical infrastructure, development platforms, and software application stacks. Upon the successful completion of Phase 1, ...

An estimated 20% of a US Navy ship"s total fuel consumption is due to heating, ventilation and air-conditioning. Reduction in electrical consumption of Navy ship Fan Coil Assemblies with increased energy efficiency is necessary for fuel savings. Rocky Research proposes an advanced Fan Coil Assembly Unit with high efficiency heat exchangers, low-noise fan design, variable speed drive technology and ...

In this Phase II SBIR project, QM Power will build and integrate the high performance alternator researched, analyzed and developed during the Phase I SBIR effort with an internal combustion engine using load following power electronics and demonstrate through empirical testing in a simulated shipboard marine environment that this alternator will maintain its high power density and efficiency adva ...

We propose to develop a low weight small volume ultrasonic imaging system Rthat will allow an inspector to quickly detect the amount of corrosion present in Tan aircraft structural component. The initial objective of the Phase I activity is Gthe application and laboratory demonstration and evaluation of a newly Ndeveloped system. A need exists for detailed visualization by an operator of Psu ...

In recent years, a new opportunity for protecting encrypted data has risen. Functional Encryption (FE) provides an entirely new vision of encrypting data. Instead of encrypting to individual users, in a functional encryption system, one can use FE to describe a policy of how to share data based on a user's credentials or attributes. While recent research has significantly advanced the capabi ...

The development of a standoff sensor that can measure 3D components of wind velocity in the downwash of a rotorcraft operating near solid surfaces would enable a better understanding of this complicated flowfield and provide data to validate computational models. The goal of this research is to develop an Aerosol Lidar Velocimeter (ALV) that uses multiple near-parallel lidar beams to track the mot ...
