The Navy wants the capability of firing over twenty missiles with Mark 72 boosters compared to about a dozen today, which will require a different ablative material than what is currently used. A solution to this problem is needed to get ahead of the curve for the future fleet operations. There is an opportunity to develop new ablative materials for the Mark 41 Vertical Launch System (VLS) with th ...

Nanohmics is developing technologies to improve overall Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement (MTVR) fuel efficiency by idle reduction and waste energy harvesting. Direct mechanical drive of the air compressor for example introduces constant parasitic losses that could be eliminated by driving the compressor electrically on-demand. Providing an electric-drive capability to the MTVR engine air compre ...

This effort will validate the Multi-Mode Moving Target Processor (M3TP) algorithm and adaptive feature-based techniques software developed under Phase 1 against radar data to characterize their robustness against sea state and target speed. Once validated, the goal is to integrate these algorithms into the modified OSI testbed for close loop testing against future test data to assess their capabil ...

Subsequent Phase II Proposal, extension of Phase II contract N0014-12-C-0373. High power, superconducting electron linear accelerators represent a new method of producing highly focused electron beams (Ebeams). These instruments have exciting applications in the area of free electron lasers and directed energy weapons, but are costly and currently only useful in small, highly-specialized markets. ...

The proposed effort for the SBIR Phase II.5 Project is a Continued Development to extend the capabilities of the Phase II unit in accordance with the UHF/MUOS SATCOM Triplex Filter Specification. The Triplex Filter will operate over the Legacy UHF SATCOM (UFO) frequency bands plus the entire MUOS frequency bands (Existing plus Growth), and will support transmit power levels up to 250 watts. The re ...

The proposed method for the fabrication of cathode heaters uses ink-jet printing of solutions containing tungsten particles. This method radically alters the manufacturing approach by introducing a complete data driven technology that will produce consistent heater elements and will allow quick turnaround for design changes.Phase I demonstrated the key elements of the technology: solution formulat ...

Decisions made at concept design have profound impacts on total life cycle cost. The industry trend is to apply automated software tools during concept design so larger numbers of alternatives can be evaluated and optimal, feasible solutions identified. Current ship concept design software tools lack the ability to synthesize physical layouts for shipboard distribution systems. Without sized and l ...

All military and many commercial aviators are required to undergo periodic hypoxia training to recognize the onset of hypoxic conditions and practice recovery skills. Current training is performed with the Reduced Oxygen Breathing Device 2 (ROBD2) which mixes oxygen and nitrogen to produce reduced oxygen concentration air mixtures representative of hypoxic conditions. However, the ROBD2 requires b ...

Under the subsequent Phase II program, Analysis, Design & Diagnostics, Inc. will work closely with the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and the technical development team from NSWC Panama City to further advance this technology to support mining S&T programs in both shallow and deep water environments. The culmination of this effort will be an end-to-end technology demonstration of the next generati ...

The MJU-49/B decoy is an infrared countermeasure dispensed by the ALE-47 countermeasure defense system to protect Navy aircraft form incoming threats that utilize infrared sensors. This decoy uses pyrophoric foils that react with atmospheric air upon release to give an infrared signature whose emissions are tailored to the threat sensors. The Navy has identified that greater protection would be af ...
