A NEED EXISTS FOR A LOW COST, PREFERABLY HANDHELD ADVANCED SEARCH AND RESCUE SURVIVAL RADIO WHICH NOT ONLY PROVIDES FOR THE TRANSMISSION OF EMERGENCY SIGNAL ON ALL THREE OF THE CARRIERS (ELT, CPL, INTERNATIONAL EMERGENCY SIGNAL TRANSMISSION) BUT ALSO PROVIDES AN EMERGENCY VOICE TRANSCEIVER OPERATING AT 282.8 MHZ. SIGNAL ENGINEERING PROPOSES DEVELOPMENT OF A COMPREHENSIVE SPECIFICATN FOR THE BEACON ...

Development of an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) for a low cost miniature gun launchable Inertail Navigation System (INS) to be packaged within a 60 mm projectile is prosed. The IMU sensor cluster design proposed is based upon the inertial silicon sensors produced by Waddan Systems. A pair of the silicon accelerometers are mounted together with their input axes coincident. Each is excited by an e ...

THE ADDITION OF INCREASINGLY COMPLEX ACOUSTIC, NON-ACOUSTIC ASW, TARGET DETECTION, AND TRACKING EQUIPMENT ON NAVY HELICOPTERS HAS GREATLY INCREASED ASW CREW WORKLOAD. THE INCORPORATION OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TECHNIQUES CAN HELP REDUCE AIRCREW WORKLOAD IN THE AREA OF AIR, SURFACE, AND SUB-SURFACE THREATS. MISSION RESEARCH CORPORATION PROPOSES TO DESIGN A SYSTEM THAT PERFORMS THREAT CLASSIFICATI ...

There is a demonstrated need for a new multifunction infrared line scanning imaging system to provide high spatial resolution of targets as well as high thermal resolution of the scene. this SBIR will develop the optical and optomechanical system to work in conjunction with the reconfigurable detector array currently under development in a separate Phase I SBIR to provide the Navy with this import ...

THRUSTVECTOR CONTROL (IATVC) SYSTEM FOR A 6 INCH DIAMETER TAIL CONTROL MISSILE. THE END RESULT OF THIS EFFORT WILL BE A STATE-OF-THE-ART CONTROL ACTUATION SYSTEM WITH THE ASSOCIATED MECHANISMS NEEDEDFOR COMBINED TVC AND FIN AXIS CONTROL. SUCH A SYSTEM WILL GREATLYENHANCE THE PERFORMANCE AND AGILITY OF SMALL DIAMETER AIR TO AIR MISSILES (5-6 INCHES). AN IATVC SYSTEM DOES NOT PRESENTLY EXIST IN THE ...

There are four key elements to the successful design and ultimate deployment of an acoustic underwater communications system for IUSS/ASW tactical connectivity. First, the properties and limitations of the undersea environment must be understood and characterized. Second, the communications link design must provide robust and efficient performance in the presence of the highly variable undersea en ...

Our clean-sheet-of-paper architectural concept is different from any used by the Navy at either UHF or EHF. It takes advantage of the unique attributes of DSCS space and ground segments, compared to other MilBatcom systems. Still, our innovative networking concept is compatible with current and Planned small shipboard SHF terminals. It focuses on the SHF modems and network controllers. It builds o ...
