The purpose of this effort is to develop a process for creating visualization models and AR/VR software tools for training and work instructions, which include 1) A hardware kit with a 3D scanner/computer with accessories for capturing colors and textures; 2) A Tablet and AR/VR headsets • A software package with tools for creating and decimating models from CAD files, 3D scanners, and photogramm ...

The purpose of this research and development project is to design and develop an innovative adaptive training solution. The resulting Intelligent Scenario Management Framework (ISMF) architecture will provide life cycle support for adaptive training that includes training content creation, training execution, performance measurement, After Action Review (AAR), and adaptive training content generat ...

This SBIR delivers two optical ground stations, based on commercial design, to support experimentation and laser communication with AFRL spacecraft.  These assets facilitate research in flexible space operations, secure low probability of intercept (LPI) communications, and management of shared resources with disparate commercial networks.  The standards based design supports day and night opera ...

In Phase II, Mainstream will continue development efforts for several lenses used in the stabilized glide slope indicator (SGSI) system and Fresnel lens optical landing system (FLOLS). Mainstream produced prototype clear acrylic lenticular lenses prototypes that passed optical tests performed by the engineering support activity (ESA) at NAWCADLKE in Phase I. Mainstream will develop conformal color ...

Unbalanced loading of electrical generators can increase system losses, reduce generator lifetime, and increase the frequency of spurious circuit breaker tripping. Current technology to balance loads include EVRs and UPSs, which are must too large and heavy for application in navy submarines. Therefore, the Navy is in need of more flexible and power dense solutions such that timely equipment chang ...

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 U.S. Navy has launched a comprehensive program to extend the service life of its fleet of aircraft, with the goal of having aircraft fly more than 50-percent longer than originally intended. Efficient utilization of maintenance resources is essential for aircraft service life extension. A current issue associated with the maintenance of aircraft platforms is the cost of single loop clamp cushi ...

Additional sources of supply are desired by the Defense Logistics Agency for Land and Maritime hard-to-source items, as well as critical application and safety items (CAI/CSI) for Aircraft Launch and Recovery Equipment (ALRE). Mainstream has carefully reviewed the requirements provided in the technical data packages for several NSNs and determined that they fit within our manufacturing capabilitie ...

Maritime Classification Aid (MCA) performance will be enhanced by maturing both the 3-D ISAR technology developed under the phase SBIR topic N141-081 and the integration of the enhanced capability with SEMS / Minotaur. Tuning and testing will be focused on transition to the MQ-4C Triton and P-8A Poseidon programs. 3D-ISAR work previously performed on topic N141-018 demonstrated that under favorabl ...

The objective of this project is to develop a comprehensive suite of tools, called the DAA Radar Software Suite and Simulation (DAA-RSSS), that supports future Navy procurement and certification of non-cooperative sensor technologies for Detect And Avoid (DAA) as well as develop plans to support EO/IR sensors as the non-cooperative sensor as informed by FAA activities in developing Minimum Operati ...
