Oceanit proposes to develop novel nutraceutical and/or pharmaceuticals to enhance important USSOCOM Multi-Purpose Canine (MPC) performance attributes that optimize their performance, improve recovery time when wounded and increase their survivability.

In the proposed effort, KAC will establish a process for reverse engineering and redesigning foreign weapons, primarily the 7.62x54R PKM and the 12.7x108mm NSV. Our engineers will use laser scanning to reverse engineer weapons from our on-site museum. We will reverse engineer the bolt from the PKM in order to demonstrate the viability of the laser scanner, our engineers, and our machine shop to co ...

Vadum will develop and simulate a new beamforming protocol for Distributed Communications and Electronic Warfare (DCEW) that will implement distributed TX and RX beamforming algorithms between a cluster of nodes, such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), and cooperative or uncooperative receivers. The Vadum approach uses an innovative Master-Slave architecture employing multiple input multiple outpu ...

Mobile radios on highly dynamic platforms, when networked into a virtual antenna array, can perform distributed array agile beamforming (DAAB) to serve the purposes of communications at longer range, higher data rate, and higher quality of service, targeting (an imaging radar for intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance - ISR) at longer range and higher resolution, and more powerful electronic ...

Acceleration of a launch package from a railgun is a disruptive technology with capabilities to launch projectiles in a shorter time-to-target and a greater effectiveness at long range. However, these railguns generate tremendous magnetic fields of up to 20 Telsa. These magnetic fields pose a threat to on-board, mission-critical electronics within the launch package. Mainstream Engineering Corpora ...

This effort will leverage commercial wearable sensors to tailor physical fitness training to increase Marines physical fitness and readiness. Marines are not often given a clear set of protocols for exercises, nor given adequate tools to monitor their fitness levels. Part of this work is to align infantry task demands against physiological measures, then identify a set of devices suitable for main ...

A craft capable of transporting an ACV from a well deck ship to shore at speeds in excess of 25 knots is being proposed. This craft, referred to as a Sled, is based on the use of inflatable drop stitch panels coupled to a simple aluminum frame. This approach offers the means to collapse the sled in constituent parts that can be stored in a small volume. The propulsion system is also modularized fo ...

RDRTec’s RACAS’s Active Element Scanned Array design approach to meet collision avoidance performance, SWaPC and cost goals utilizes RDRTec’s unique array topology.RDRTec has been developing, enhancing, and extending the Common Radar Airborne Collision Avoidance System (C-RACAS) and associated modeling and simulation tools for non-cooperative conflict avoidance for both Triton and Fire Scout ...

Vigilant Cyber Systems, Inc. (VCS) has designed a Cyber Battle Damage Assessment Tool (CyBDAT) to quantify the probabilities associated with Computer Network Attack (CNA), Computer Network Exploitation (CNE) and Electronic Attack (EA) and allow for the direct comparison of cyber-attacks and kinetic attacks in mission planning. In Phase I VCS completed the high level design of CyBDAT, completed the ...

The Windlift Man Portable Wind Energy System (MPWES) will produce 6 kW of renewable energy while weighing only 440 lbs. The renewable energy density (W/lb.) will be approximately seven times greater than a state of the art solar system, as represented by the GREENS system which is currently deployed by the USMC. Significant optimizations are possible in future design spirals that will allow the sy ...
