Significant SONAR detection performance can be achieved through the development and use of new larger acoustic sensor arrays such as WAA, CAVES, and LVAA. However, installation costs required to support the cabling hull penetrations of these arrays often drives the retrofit solution to be cost prohibitive. Development of a non-hull penetrating hydrophone solution could potentially save significan ...

Automatic detecting, tracking, identification, and cross platform hand-off of moving targets in urban environment from small, jittery aerial platforms are very critical to many military missions in the new century. These tasks are performed poorly today. We will build on Phase I success in development and demonstration of a software system for real time moving target detection and tracking. SET ...

Software critical to national security and essential to a corporation’s survival can easily be exploited through reverse engineering and unauthorized access. Without innovative protection initiatives, these vulnerabilities can be leveraged by an attacker to distribute a program without proper authority, tamper with its intended functionality, expose proprietary algorithms, and launch viruses/wor ...

The central goal of this topic is to develop the ability to quickly and efficiently determine, prioritize, and optimize maintenance efforts across both individual ships and the Fleet as a whole. We propose: • to develop a web based application toolset that can be deployed within the Non-Tactical Data Processing System (NTDPS) architecture as part of the Distance Support Initiative • Capture a ...

The objective of this Phase II effort is to support the NAVAIR WBBL UAV project through continuing to define and document specific required modifications to the P-3 aircraft, the airborne control station and the data link / antenna. Defense Technologies, Inc. (DTI) will provide engineering support by (1) defining operationally relevant P-3 information; (2) defining and documenting the required ex ...

TKC International LLC will produce a comprehensive, fully integrated weapon-target centric (W-T-C) model for use by the Submarine Force. The W-T-C model will enable the Submarine Force to make key strategic investment and acquisition decisions in terms of total force structure, build rates, and key systems and technologies that will cover multiple warfare domains and future threats. TKC will buil ...

Propagation Research Associates, Inc., (PRA) proposes to develop a software/hardware-in-the-loop (S/HWIL) capability that will implement the PRA Fast Algorithms for State Estimation (FASE) in a real-time environment. PRA developed a maximum likelihood estimator and a smoothed iterated filter to reduce filter transients. The PRA S/HWIL will provide a unique capability to 1) evaluate the performance ...

This proposal responds to the need for a more capable velocity sensor for Naval Special Warfare undersea vehicles that will enable 3D bottom and water column tracking. Currently, the Advanced Seal Deployment System utilizes a Doppler Sonar capable of operations at altitudes of up to approximately 300 meters over the sea bed for bottom track mode. There is also a stated need to decrease weight, v ...

One of the US Army’s priority R&D areas has been focused on lightening the load carried by the soldier. Much of this concentrates on personnel body armor such as ballistic vests and helmets. Recent composite material developments using aramid fabrics coated with thermoplastic resins and graphite fabric-epoxy skins demonstrate potential not only to meet/exceed all structural and ballistic requir ...
