Innovative Veterinary Medicine, Inc. has conceptualized and designed an anesthesia ventilator named DolVent™ specifically for the Navy Atlantic bottlenose dolphins and California sea lions. The DolVent™ ventilator design will support the normal physiologic state of these animals using ventilation modes mimicking their natural breathing including the modes of Airway Pressure Release Ventilation ...

There are numerous regions across modern aircraft that necessitate advanced corrosion solutions in order to protect and maintain their readiness. One such application is the numerous cathodic fasteners that are galvanically coupled to anodic structural materials, like high-strength aluminum alloys. There is a need to bolster corrosion protection at these locations via a user-friendly surface treat ...

Tactical networks have increasing needs for greater cybersecurity and greater flexibility and resilience. By combining the advances made in the field of virtualization in terms of Type-1 (Bare Metal) Virtualization, and Introspection via the Hypervisor, a

The Fixed Submarine Broadcasting System (FSBS) is a low frequency (LF) and very low frequency (VLF) communication system that provides independent and survivable connectivity to the United States Navy nuclear submarine force. The system includes six outdoor transmission antennas that operate at high power and generate extremely high electric fields in a wide variety of environmental conditions. Th ...

NanoSonics HybridSil Ice Protective Coating (IPC) will provide a practical, near-term solution for protecting U.S. Navy ships from problematic ice buildup during arctic missions. A Phase II STTR transition will provide a pivotal funding bridge toward Phase III maturation of this very promising, empirically validated coating technology. Building from its Phase I success and strong collaborative, sh ...

Differential equations are widely used to analyze and simulate the dynamics of complex systems in the physical, biological and social sciences. Inferences with such models are challenging due to both statistical and computational complexity. Stan is a widely used, open-source, probabilistic programming language and Bayesian inference engine. We propose to extend Stan by incorporating solvers for o ...

The marine environment is extremely corrosive to turbine engine components due to the large amount of salts from the sea coupled with the fuel impurities and the high temperatures experienced. To cope with future operational requirements, a strong need exists to develop novel, protective coatings to provide environmental protection from hot corrosion and oxidation conditions across a wide range of ...

The Navy needs to fuse and distill time-stamped data sources as varied as overhead imagery and Twitter feeds into actionable intelligence such as alerts, on-demand reports about entities of interest, and search capabilities. In order to enable such analytics, it is effective to learn fixed dimensional vectors (embeddings) representing the entities present in these heterogeneous data sources, which ...

Current state of the art oxidizers have been in service for decades, leaving the performance of our munitions and propulsion systems unchanged while our tactical objectives have increased in their requirements. Keeping with ongoing changes in the worlds military, maintaining a tactical advantage while meeting or exceeding mission capability requirements is of utmost importance for our nation. As s ...
