AVID will perform conceptual design of a cluster of micro-air-vehicles (MAVs) that can be carried by a ground launched missile to the target site. A concept of operations will be developed to frame the requirements in each phase of the concept. Trade studies will be conducted using validated multidisciplinary MAV design tools with the objective of finding a design that maximizes the effectiveness ...

XL Scientific is pleased to respond to the Army’s SBIR solicitation A16-123 entitled “Miniaturization of high average power, high peak power, wide bandwidth antennas”. To meet the Army's requirement, XL Scientific proposes the use of its "Ferengi" antenna concept. This antenna incorporates several design features which XL Scientific will optimize as part of the research effort to offer the f ...

Optimized training for advanced Navy systems requires a notable change in the learning paradigma training paradigm in which the training system assists the learner in an effort to enter and maintain an optimal brain learning state. The Curriculum for Accelerated Learning through Mindfulness (CALM) solution provides a pre-training mindfulness module that prepares the sailor for learning and a metho ...

The Metron team proposes to design, develop and demonstrate a prototype FAAS system. Our approach is specifically formulated to leverage innovative cognitive processing and inference algorithms to maximize information gain for a robust solution under changing environmental conditions. We propose a number of innovations to exploit non-traditional information to improve the discrimination power of t ...

Barron Associates has developed a simple, low-cost, mortar augmentation to improve range and targeting. The Phase I research will involve simulation analysis to verify the design and performance enhancements.

Current Navy Cybersecurity solutions often employ complicated or unique interfaces to use and manage the various capabilities. They also typically require frequent updates to maintain their effectiveness against threats. This poses serious problems for the fleet when any update to a cybersecurity tool requires integration, testing, and redelivery of the combat systems Operating System and software ...

Prior to the advent of Big Data and the availability of affordable digital data storage, organizations would typically gather only the data from system logs that could be immediately identified as useful. With modern Big Data Collection, the focus has shifted to collecting and storing as much data as possible; even if that data is not immediately identified as useful to the human eye. The intentio ...

TDA has teamed up with Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) as its subcontractor to address the target SBIR topic objectives of (a) increasing computational efficiency of AM calculations, (b) modeling strategies for complex geometries with support structures, (c) optimizing support structures for these geometries, and (d) integrating the tools with existing metal AM machines interface software. TDA pla ...

The Navy requests an innovative and expandable data transportation scheme for the AN/UYQ-100 Undersea Warfare Decision Support System (USW-DSS) that translates bi-directional data exchanges between disparate and diverse data sources into a common language. We propose the use of the Universal Gateway (UGW), a product already in-use with the Navy, to provide data translation, data mediation and data ...

Authorizations provided to the Navy for operation of the SURTASS LFA/CLFA active source require specific measures to be taken to avoid harming marine mammals. This generally includes searching the water column within 2 km of the SURTASS ship for the presence of marine mammals before going active. The current workhorse for this is the High Frequency Marine Mammal Monitoring (HF/M3) sonar. However, ...
