Situational Awareness for Mission Critical Ship Systems
SBC: IERUS TECHNOLOGIES INC Topic: N18AT009The US Navy operates a vast fleet of combat and support vessels with complex power control systems under the control and decision authority of human operators. Several current resources such as SPY-1D radar and Vertical Launch System (VLS) and future resources such as railgun, AMDR, and high energy laser (HEL) are energy hungry, exceeding current and planned power generation capability when deploy ...

Situational Awareness for Mission Critical Ship Systems
SBC: IERUS TECHNOLOGIES INC Topic: N18AT009With the advent of the Navy’s newest classes of all-electric vessels, the interdependence and functional correlation of the power plant with other mission-critical ship systems such as integrated cooling, weapons, navigation, air surveillance, and IT control network systems, maintaining optimal oversight and control of power distribution aboard ship becomes increasingly challenging. As the opera ...

Refractory Metal Coating for Electromagnetic Launcher Rails
SBC: TDA RESEARCH, INC. Topic: N10AT025Electromagnetic launchers or rail guns are a key component of the Navy’s all-electric ship of the future, but they lack the durability required for repeated firings. TDA Research and the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) are developing a tough, durable and conductive refractory metal coating that will protect the copper alloy conductors (rails) from the extreme heat and wear conditions inside the ...

Quench Monitoring and Control System for High-Temperature Superconducting Coils
SBC: ADVANCED CONDUCTOR TECHNOLOGIES LLC Topic: N19AT016The Navy has been developing superconducting systems, based on high-temperature superconductors (HTS), for future use on Navy ships. One of the challenges associated with superconducting magnets is the possibility of a quench, which is an event where a local hot spot develops within the superconductor that quickly spreads throughout the device, driving it into its normal and dissipative state. Sen ...

Process to Mitigate Catastrophic Optical Damage to Quantum Cascade Lasers
SBC: IRGLARE LLC Topic: N19AT004The development of a catastrophic optical damage model for quantum cascade lasers describing instantaneous laser damage at high optical power levels is proposed. The model will be validated by comparison to experimental data. Based on obtained results, changes to laser design and laser fabrication resulting in an increased damage threshold will be implemented. The work will ultimately result into ...

Power Dense Turbo-Compression Cooling Driven by Waste Heat
SBC: MANTEL TECHNOLOGIES, INC. Topic: N19AT013The U.S. Navy seeks methods to improve the fuel economy of marine diesel engines through utilization of waste heat. Low temperature engine jacket water, lubrication oil, and aftercooler air are largely untapped streams of thermal energy on these ships, but their utilization circumvents many operation challenges associated with exhaust gases. For example, variable and high exhaust gas temperatures ...

Power-Dense Electrical Rotating Machines for Propulsion and Power Generation
SBC: CONTINUOUS SOLUTIONS LLC Topic: N19AT007The primary objective is to develop electric machine/drive topologies and power architectures that achieve the power densities required for 50% more power without the increase in weight or space requirements. In addition to PMSM-based designs, two new machine topologies will be considered. The first is a trapped flux coreless (TFC) machine that utilizes superconducting pucks made of YBCO to produc ...

Physics-based Computationally Efficient Spray Combustion Models for LES of Multiphase Reacting Flows
SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION Topic: N17AT002One important challenge for the reliable prediction of liquid fuel effects on the combustion in aviation combustors and augmentors is the accurate modeling of underlying physical processes, involving the evaporation of fuels, preferential vaporization, scalar mixing and ignition. LES methodologies are required to accurately capture these transient and inherently unsteady combustion processes. In t ...
