Low-frequency radars operating in the VHF and UHF bands, like the AN/APY-9 on-board the E-2D Hawkeye can detect and even track low-observable aircraft. But historically, UHF radars had resolution and detection issues that have made them ineffective for accurate targeting and fire control. Higher frequency radars provide the benefit of higher angular resolution. Migrating to higher frequencies (S-b ...

In this Phase II project, WW Technology Group (WWTG) will develop a scalable and powerful framework and foundation for Model Based System Engineering (MBSE) supported by Big Data in a streamlined software toolchain. The approach uses an established front end that can consume a wide variety of data types and formats found in engineering documents. A series of Big Data analytic methods are used to r ...

Technical Product Definition Information. In this activity we created a preliminary technical data package (TDP) at a Level 3 Production per MIL-STD-31000 definition. A TDP is a technical description of an item adequate for supporting an acquisition strategy, development, manufacturing development, production, engineering, and logistics throughout the item's lifecycle. The technical description de ...

This proposal introduces an approach from Brighton Cromwell to Improve product availability and increase competition through the development of Small Business eligible manufacturing utilizing the DLA’s Land and Maritime (L&M) Limited Source National Stock Number (NSN) List. The list contains NSNs with an Annual Demand Value (ADV) >$10K currently sourced with only 1-2 manufacturers. We are offeri ...

FireSky/CHATTIN (Cyber Hardening and Agility Technology for Tactical IP Networks) provides cyber defense, agility, and real-time threat intelligence for aerial tactical IP networks. FireSky/CHATTIN drops into existing IP based aerial networks and provides cyber defense. This work involves enhancing FireSky/CHATTIN to provide the capabilities required for deployment to Battlefield Airborne Communic ...

Topographic features found in ground-based natural images contain information that is useful for a variety of applications including geolocation estimation and navigation. Traditionally, these features have been manually labeled by analysts which is costly and time consuming, especially considering the volume of readily available data. During Phase I, we have demonstrated a novel TOFENet framework ...

With the explosive growth of Internet of Things (IoT) and mobile communication technologies, media streaming service and applications based on video content have gained remarkable popularity and interest from users. When someone is using their device to record a video, then share that video with friends through a certain website (e.g. Netflix, YouTube), the process may sound simple from the user s ...

Global Engineering and Materials, Inc. (GEM), along with its team member Virginia Tech (VT), proposes a new approach for quick repair of corroded fastener holes using an emerging solid-state process, additive friction stir deposition (AFSD). AFSD integrates the friction stir principle with a robust material feeding mechanism to enable site-specific deposition. Renowned for low cost, high speed, ea ...

The overall goal of this SBIR Phase II Reachback project is to develop an enabling technology for shipboard additive manufacturing. NAVSEA has been installing advanced manufacturing equipment, including 3d printers, onboard ships in support of shipboard operations and to evaluate performance of the equipment in shipboard environments and in response to Fleet demand. However, the performance of the ...
