Heat Pipe Cooling of Underwater Acoustic Projectors
SBC: ADVANCED COOLING TECHNOLOGIES INC Topic: N08T020This Small Business Technology Transfer Phase I project will develop an innovative thermal solution to cool underwater acoustic projectors. More efficient cooling of the acoustic projectors will allow the devices to run at longer duty cycles, higher output powers and with longer service life. Current acoustic projectors use thermal conduction through the transducer parts to dissipate the waste hea ...

Automated Modeling and Simulation Tool for Lightening the Load of Warfighters
SBC: VizTek, Inc Topic: N08T019Today’s Warfighter often carries an inordinate load that can lead to injuries and encumbered performance. Equipment is distributed among squad members with little, if any regard for differences in strength and anthropometry. Consequently, the current focus on human-centric design requires a modeling and simulation tool that can reduce the load Warfighters carry and can help distribute equipmen ...

Photonic WDM Digital Beamformer
SBC: AGILTRON, INC. Topic: N08T007An innovative concept for a scalable Digital Beamformer that can be applied to the full range of Navy radars/RF communication is proposed. The concept is photonics based and will support transmit/receive applications over the 0.1 to 40 GHz, and V bands. The design provides a digitally controlled True Time Delay based Beamformer effectively adaptive to a phased array in any portion of the spectral ...

Portable High Resolution Imaging for NDI of Hot Section Aero Turbine Components
SBC: RADIATION MONITORING DEVICES, INC. Topic: N06T011New technology is needed for the nondestructive inspection (NDI) of defects in gas turbine engines. This is particularly true for components such as turbine blades with fretting fatigue defects that are difficult to detect and characterize with existing NDI equipment. The lack of detailed flaw detection and characterization raises safety concerns, hampers fleet readiness and negatively impacts the ...

Mixed Initiative Machine for Instructed Computing: MIMIC II
SBC: APTIMA INC Topic: N07T031In less than a decade, UAVs have transitioned from a curiosity on the battlefield to a core capability for intelligence and attack. However, the intelligence that drives tactical decision making and flight control remains firmly lodged in the heads of expert operators. As more UAVs and other unmanned vehicles enter the battlespace, intelligent, autonomous UAVs will become a necessity. To address ...

Optimized Real-time Complex Information Display (ORCID)
SBC: APTIMA INC Topic: N08T004Advances in modeling and simulation, networking, and computer graphics technology have made it possible to conduct large-scale, distributed LVC training events, such as the Navy’s Fleet Synthetic Training-Joint (FST-J) exercises on a regular basis. However, FST-J exercises are not without room for improvement. Instructors and exercise controllers often confront difficulties assessing the state ...

Intuitive Navigation System for Effective Collision-avoidance Tactics (INSECT)
SBC: APTIMA INC Topic: N08T005Vertical short takeoff and landing (VSTOL) operators face numerous challenges, particularly during takeoff, hover, and landing operations. Threats take the form of power lines, structures, and—in the case of combat—enemy fire. Often, these threats are obscured when visibility is compromised by dust, sand, or snow. Maintaining awareness of the surrounding environment becomes almost impossible. ...

Guidelines and Rules Instrument for Displays in 3D (GRID 3D)
SBC: APTIMA INC Topic: N06T019Technology continues to advance at faster and faster rates. Often new technology is created with little regard for the impact to the humans who must use this technology. One new technology the Navy is considering using is autostereographic displays, which permit users to see a true 3D image without wearing cumbersome glasses. Aptima and its partner, Dr. Dirk Reiners of University of Louisiana, Laf ...

Aerodynamic/Structural Mistuning Technologies for Assessing IBR/Blisk Repairs
SBC: BLADE DIAGNOSTICS CORPORATION Topic: N06T015Blade-to-blade variations in frequencies lead to the phenomenon of mistuning. Even very small amounts of mistuning can cause some blades to vibrate much more than others. Mistuning can cause an amplification of resonant response by up to 400 percent, and has been identified as a primary factor in HCF failures. One issue in setting blend limits is whether or not the blending operation will exacerba ...
