US Joiner proposes to develop lightweight, low-cost structural fire protection by designing a composite insulation system. The system will have various materials faced with fire-resistant coatings.

This proposed effort investigates the current and voltage interruption capability of a novel breaker contact design driven by a rugged ultra-fast actuation mechanism. The arc created by the opening contacts is forced to take the form of a thin cylindrical sheet between two close fitting insulating surfaces resulting in very high heat losses compared to free arcs. At any given current, the volta ...

The current passive anti-submarine warfare (ASW) sonar processing paradigm is manpower-intensive, and relies heavily on expert operators to perform the classification function. 3 Phoenix proposes to apply innovative signal processing technologies to achieve a high level of automation in the detection and classification process in order to reduce the manning and workload levels required for passiv ...

Luna Innovations will develop a practical compact ultrasonic pollution detection instrument capable of detecting multiple pollutants, paths and monitoring the levels of pollutants such as copper or zinc, for use in environmental monitoring for storm water. Detecting the level of pollutants is an increasing problem as the EPA requires additional monitoring as part of the NPDES permitting process. ...

Vector sensors have been shown to operate very effectively in free field applications and are showing promise in the area of towed array configurations. The four channel (combination three axis accelerometers and hydrophone) sensors allow narrower beams to be generated with a smaller number of senors over a smaller foot print than can be obtained from simple hydrophones; however, they have been s ...

The Afloat Master Planning System (AMPS) module of the Navy Data Environment is the authoritative data source for the Fleet Commander Command, Control, Computers, Communication, Combat systems, and Intelligence (C5I) baseline. AMPS has evolved in response to emergent requirements without planning in a larger architectural context. The resulting system contains multiple interfaces for common tasks, ...

The C5I Modernization Process for Strike Force deployment represents a complex integration of data products to plan, assess, schedule and maintain configuration control over the systems and models that comprise the systems and systems-of-systems of today’s surface Navy. This process requires significant effort on the part of Program Managers to continuously update ship systems and maintain ship ...

Progeny Systems proposes to provide an effective and fun equipment maintenance training game through the innovative application of brain wave monitoring technology and Edutainment methodologies. Progeny Systems’ innovation will utilize current and planned Marine Corps TETS and Huntron operation procedures for performing Intermediate level LRU troubleshooting as the basis for an addictive and hi ...

Multi-sensor data fusion is a critical technology used to support contact tracking and association for many Navy missions and systems. Traditional approaches focus on fusing contact position and kinematics data from multiple heterogeneous sensors, with overlapping coverage areas, in order to provide more reliable estimates of the contact’s state. However, these systems fail to meet the require ...

Delta Epsilon Technologies, LLC is pleased to identify in this proposal the opportunity to show the feasibility of employing a new track correlation algorithm to improve the state of the art in maintaining consistent track identifications and track numbers among overlapping sensors in the presence of data latency.
