The objectives for this Phase II effort follow logically from the Phase I proposal and the ground work laid in Phase I. The overarching goal is to prove a radically different approach to sensor packaging which offers a quantum leap in performance, cost reduction and manufacturability improvement. Preliminary testing results from Phase I indicate that the alternative technical approach to telemetry ...

3 Phoenix, Inc. (3Pi) plans to continue development of a field-deployable RF over Fiber (RFoF) distribution system that consists of both high-frequency RF optical channels and bi-directional digital channels providing telemetry and data-fusion capability. The development will be focused on the implementation of a high-capacity, high frequency capability necessary for the Navy"s radar and communica ...

For SIGINT and surveillance applications the higher sensitivity is of prime importance enabling interception of weak signals. For cellular communications, higher sensitivity results in an increased coverage range of a base station, thereby effecting enormous cost savings, by utilizing fewer base stations per given area. However, the amplitude sensitivity of the receiver is limited by its noise fig ...

The goal of this SBIR is to develop technologies that will segregate data of various security classification levels using approved hardware and software techniques and simplify data access and usage for the sailor. This effort is designed to increase the productivity of the user by removing or automating the barriers currently involved with accessing data at different classification levels simulta ...

One of the key challenges for Navy acquisition personnel (sponsors and program managers) is to track capabilities from the Research and Development (R & D) stage to deployment of a capability into the fleet to ensure the Navy is meeting current and future threats while filling the gaps in capabilities. SimVentions proposes a computerized tool that can help manage the interconnected levels of infor ...

Our Context-Aware Multiple Objective Planning (CMOP) is focused on the expansion and refinement of the mission planning capability in order to more fully support the capabilities required by Under Sea Warfare Decision Support System (USW-DSS). This includes expanding the spatial-temporal and semantic reasoning capability to dynamically determine objective function relevance to the current mission ...

There is currently a lack of reliable instrumentation which can provide data about non-catastrophic foreign object damage without an extended examination by a highly skilled technician. Current methods require a detailed visual inspection either through engine disassembly or with a borescope. Furthermore, this process becomes increasingly difficult as engines and airframes become more and more int ...

Integument Technologies,Inc and subcontractor (The Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory) will develop several new paint formulations using novel photochromic dyes having fast switching capabilities and long term properties. This formulation is targeted towards applications on Navy submarines. Specifically, this program will focus on creating advanced visual effects that effectively change colo ...

A software based simulation environment for stimulation of developmental NCTR algorithms is proposed. The proposed software will consist of a distributed architecture simulation, interconnected via a standard network protocol LAN. This simulation willinclude 3-degree of motion (3DOF) models of both surface ship and airborne surveillance platforms equipped with a modern volume search radar, a multi ...
