Award Data

This project will develop improved sensor fusion of underwater surveillance and fire control related ]data based upon biologically inspired data association and sensor fusion techniques. In this _proposed SBIR, AAC will examine under-sea surveillance requirements for providing contact data hassociation for two or more contacts in the littoral environment. We will analyze biologically-inspired [tec ...

Accurate Automation Corporation will design, develop, demonstrate, and transition by the end of Phase II a new tool, the Precision Logistics Support System (PLSS), which can assist Marine Corps logistics personnel in rapidly generating and refining a logistics / supply plan that will best meet the needs of any specific deployment. The prototype PLSS will be configured for a LAN-connected PC en ...

AeroSoft, Inc. proposes to develop, incorporate and validate transition and anisotropic turbulence models for improving the low-Reynolds number predictions for high-lift airfoil configurations. The turbulence-modeling package will use Menter's two equati

The proposed prototype Operational Trainer for the FFG-7 AAW Combat System will provide the US Navy with a means for training the FFG-7 AAW combat team to operate their equipment in condition 1 watch stations. Each watch station will be provided with the ability to train as they fight by allowing continuous on-board AAW training that includes all elements of the combat system with interactions as ...

The objective of the proposed Phase I work is to demonstrate the feasibility of using the Choi-Williams distribution to estimate the time ¿ frequency distribution of transients of interest to the IUSS. The specific objectives are to develop a metric for IUSS images and to show that the Choi-Williams distribution of these images may be used for classification. The Choi-Williams distribution is ...

Warhead design calculations and weapons effectiveness estimates require a methodology to predict structural response and the associated damage to air targets from reactive munitions. The objectives for the proposed Phase I study effort are to develop candidate launch conditioning, reaction initiation and reaction rate methodology, to incorporate existing ballistic, blast and quasi-static pres ...

The objective of this project is to design a new large caliber naval gun to fit in a relatively small volume within a ship and yet be capable of firing ranges considerably greater than are presently available from equal caliber guns and ammunition. This gun will have a very short recoil whose greater recoil forces will be passed directly to major load bearing structure near the ship's ke ...

CTI and its subcontractors, BDM's Defense Enterprise Integration Team and Sonalysts, Inc., propose to apply a hybrid task analysis methodology to model critical functions in the CIC and derive measures of performance by individuals and teams. The approach is a hybrid in that it joins cognitive analysis techniques with methods typically used to in business re-engineering studies. In addition, it in ...

We propose to develop algorithms which can be used to assimilate separate satellite data sets of important geophysical parameters into global, gridded data sets. The data assimilation program will be cast as a retrieval problem in which the true, instrument independent global distribution is retrieved from the combined satellite data set. This problem will be solved using the method of optima ...
