In Phase I of this SBIR effort, Lakota created a general model for a component-based display architecture and a prototype of this general model in the form of a set of USW displays executing within the framework. In Phase II, Lakota proposes to follow through with the groundwork laid down in Phase I by developing the Enterprise Display Infrastructure (EDI) a ‘pluggable’ display infrastructure ...

Increased littoral deployment of submarines and other naval vessels has seen an increase in biological fouling and clogging of vessel cooling systems resulting in costly cleaning procedures and curtailed operations pending completion of cleaning procedures. To address and reduce the increased threat of biofouling, the Navy has begun installing electrolytic chlorination systems in submarines and s ...

Under the base Phase II award, MAPC will design a conceptual Aggregated Air Capable ship hull and connector system capable of full operations though SS5 and survivability though SS8.Under various options scaled toe tank models will be fabricated and tested.

MAPC will develop and field an integrated system capable of launching and recovering an unmanned air vehicle from an unmanned surface vehicle.

This Phase II SBIR develops a prototype Comprehensive Spectrum Management System (CSMS), an automated spectrum monitoring and management tool that will boost RF performance, isolate and correct spectrum related problems. The CSMS product described by this document provides for a new tool that leverages a set of components that provide for improved WLAN robustness and adaptation capability in the ...

In surveillance platforms such as the E-2, it is essential that the Airborne Early Warning (AEW) radar provide an accurate track picture of the surveillance region. Estimates of position and heading are important, but more critical is the maintenance of continuous tracks through clutter, target maneuvers, and other challenging scenarios. Thus, pre-filter techniques that can improve tracking perfo ...

The overall objective of this project is to develop an affordable, militarily useful and mature multi-sensor ASW fusion technology. The software will be demonstrated in a relevant environment to be at Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 6 for incorporation into the Multi-Mission Aircraft/P-8A. At a minimum, cross-sensor fusion of active sensors will be developed and demonstrated. Based on progress wi ...

The very shallow water and surf zone is a highly dynamic environment and the ever-changing morphology makes wave, current, and surf forecasting difficult if not impossible. These characteristics also are critical factors that govern future evolution or erosion of the coastal environment. The ability to forecast these changes is critical for naval operations in the littoral but is also important to ...

With both the funding from Phase I and Technest’s IR&D fund, we have successfully demonstrated the feasibility of an innovative, miniaturized, and lightweight hyperspectral imager called OmniGuard for periscope applications. The proposed OmniGuard will be able to fit below the existing Radome module which occupies the top of periscope. Optical ray tracing simulation proves that the designed 36 ...

In Phase I Syntonics demonstrated the feasibility of meeting the Navy’s UWB antenna system requirements using pixel-addressable reconfigurable conformal antenna (PARCA) technology. PARCA panels create a highly reconfigurable aperture using conductive pixels to rapidly reconfigure frequency, beam width, and polarization. In Phase II we will analyze, design, build, and test a breadboard transmissi ...
