Navy’s digital modular radios (DMRs) have been upgraded to support a wide range of waveforms (e.g. SRW, HAVE QUICK, SINCGARS, SATCOM, and MUOS). To further increase the fleet’s warfighting capability, the U.S. Navy is interested in reducing the number of single function RF systems required on Navy ships and submarines. EMBARC (Efficient Multi-carrier Broadband Amplifier for Radio Communication ...

Development of a small UAS compatible Micro IFF transponder including Modes 1,2,3A,C,S , Dual band ADS-B, UAT, Mode 5 and interrogator. All modes include both receive (in) and transmit (out). Size is less than 8 cu inches and weight is under 6 oz with full AIMS 17-1000 compliance, including 500 watt output with diversity. Unit is also low cost and low maintenance. Unit meets full military temperat ...

The growing demand for flexible, extended duration UAS has accelerated LR, U-LE, and UAS requirements. The required UAS will host Research, Development, Testing, and Evaluation of future airborne communication sensors; Aerial-Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance; Electronic Warfare systems; and BLOS capabilities. This new suite of unmanned aerial sensor with real-time communication capabi ...

In this Phase II SBIR project Wagner Associates will develop enhanced Automated active Sonar Interference Avoidance algorithms (ASIA) that will automatically produce a recommended Active Sonar Interference Avoidance Plan (ASIAP). ASIA assisted automated and accurate sonar interference avoidance planning will:(1)     Improve search effectiveness (i.e., reduced time to detect and classify a sub ...

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 objective of the Phase II Program under Topic N181-034 is to support the construction and transition of the improved, cut-resistant Vibration Isolation Module (VIM) hose into fleet operations. During the Phase I effort, METSS clearly demonstrated proof-of-concept designs to toughen the VIM’s outer jacket against associated forces related to high-tension, longline fishing tackle. However, the ...

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 ...

Phoenix merges current state of the art inflatable soft structure technologies with extensive marine experience to demonstrate the Sea Water Inflated – Launch and Recovery System (SWI-LARS) concept as an enabling technology for the use of soft inflatable structures as components to undersea payload launch and recovery (L&R) system used in 21-inch diameter by 25-foot long tube. Based on experienc ...

Areté Associates, with critical technical support from QinetiQ North America (QNA) proposes development and demonstration of a full-duplex, underwater acoustic communications network, which includes an air/sea communications interface solution. QNA’s full-duplex DOLPHIN™ acoustic modem technology will be integrated with Areté’s, Expendable Data Exfiltration (EDEX) technology to create a fu ...

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 ...
