ASSETTs Phase II base effort under SBIR N05-149 provides three key products which result from the documented methodology and processes established during Phase I:(1) Requirements associated with the Combat System of the Future (CSoF) developed from our robust methodology and captured in an Initial Capabilities Document (ICD) and Cognitive Specification, (2) CSoF architectural prototype and associa ...

The US Navy is tasked with managing the complex problem of forecasting and scheduling shipyard resources and ships through the shipyards to accomplish required ship and ship system maintenance and upgrade actions.NAVSEA, in cooperation with the Commander, U.S. Fleet Forces Command (CFFC), schedules maintenance availability periods for submarines, ships, and aircraft carriers. The CFFC develops sch ...

The architectural assessment tool being developed by ASSETT, Inc is based upon research completed for both DOD and the commercial market place.The assessment process has been validated against both submarine combat system and commercial network architectures and during Phase II will be made compliant with the DODs architectural framework (DODAF).Using a set of nine key attributes mapped to the fou ...

Software reverse engineering has become a science of well-defined methods, tools, and philosophies. Known approaches – such as white-box, black-box, and gray-box attacks – and highly-intricate tools – such as debuggers, decompilers, and disassemblers – can be combined to reveal the secrets of software intellectual property and to steal once-secret code and data. Current approaches to sof ...

The primary objective of this Program would be to develop magneto-electric sensors with increased sensitivity to minute variations of low frequency magnetic fields, using a technology that is deployable for long time-periods using small batteries. This will be accomplished through the following steps. (1) Use new materials couple in the laminate composite, in order to enhance the ME effect. (2) Us ...

Current geo-technical measurement systems are low resolution and generally require significant research vessel support. In this SBIR, the OASIS/WHOI team proposes to build a system that will remotely, autonomously and rapidly estimate and map shear strength parameters using state-of-the art Autonomous Undersea Vehicle (AUV) technology. The AUV-based Acoustic Sediment Classifier (ASC) is an inno ...

The need to understand complex designs for systems is ever increasing. The opportunity exists to improve the development processes by equipping system design teams with the ability to explore the outer and inner workings of a system throughout development in a manner that is intuitive and insightful. SimVentions will continue researching the modeling of the complex and rich relationships within ...

The main objective of this proposal is to build on the efforts of the Army SBIR Phase I project to finalize the design and development of a superior lightweight and comfortable flame resistant garment made of nonwoven composite fabric. The goal is to significantly elevate the fire and thermal protection properties of these next generation composite fabrics over conventional Nomex® at lower cost. ...

Gas turbine engine manufacturers seek to produce engines capable of operating at ever higher temperatures. One of the primary impediments to increasing operating temperature is the diminution of structural integrity that occurs in turbine airfoils at high temperature. This Phase II SBIR project will design, test and assess the manufacturability of an advanced film cooling airfoil facsimile (and ...

The objective of this Phase II program is to implement, demonstrate and validate the computational techniques that were developed in Phase I that can be used for materials-damage based prognosis of gas turbine engine components and component assemblies. This approach will consist of a probabilistic multi-axial three-dimensional non-linear structural analysis method to enable the implementation of ...
