The objective of this Navy Phase II STTR program is to design, develop and manufacture energy scavenging modules for “small unit power” architecture. The energy scavenging modules (ESMs) developed in this program will be able to capture the magnetic fields surrounding electrical power lines and electrical equipment and convert their energy into electricity. The ESMs will be designed to have th ...

This project delivers a compact system to assess and reduce local uncertainties that impact routing and sensor operation decisions while tracking the evolution of the maritime environment around unmanned platforms at sea (UUV/USV). The system runs both at control centers and on-board the UUV/USV’s, subject to different network bandwidth and computing environments Size, Weight and Power (SWaP) co ...

The DLA and Air Force Sustainment Center (AFSC) require procedures for acceptance of repairs and replacement parts made with additive manufacturing (AM). Tools for monitoring and control of AM processes are vital to that acceptance procedure. Vibrant Corporation provides process monitoring and control and nondestructive evaluation (NDE) services with its Process Compensated Resonance Testing (PCRT ...

The U.S. Navy seeks methods to improve the fuel economy of marine diesel engines through utilization of waste heat. Low temperature engine jacket water, lubrication oil, and aftercooler air are largely untapped streams of thermal energy on these ships, but their utilization circumvents many operation challenges associated with exhaust gases. For example, variable and high exhaust gas temperatures ...

Increased availability of graph-structured military data and recent technical advances in neural network design and training methods has led to an opportunity to advance the state of the art while simultaneously establishing and improving the ability:(1) to monitor a platform or force, (2) to predict capabilities and limitations of the force, and (3) to suggest opportunities and vulnerabilities. ...

Submitted at the invitation of the contracting office, this proposal details the Phase II Base and Phase II Options planning and costs for the development of the Interferometer for Neutral-Thermosphere Dynamics Imaging (INDI). The recently completed Phase I effort resulted in the design of a cubesat compatible sensor for measuring altitude profiles of the neutral wind speed and direction by measur ...

Musculoskeletal pain and discomfort are prevalent issues for naval pilots and aircrew, particularly within the rotary wing community where a combination of poor seat ergonomics and cockpit design result in airframes that actively promote poor posture and induce high rates of musculoskeletal fatigue. There is a critical need for a functional solution that can be rapidly implemented to reduce the in ...

The U.S. Marine Corps are organized and equipped as a "force in readiness” and their ability to operate with agility and efficiency often depends on armored tactical vehicles. One portion of this readiness is the ability of the transparent armor (TA) in these vehicles to operate effectively. TA is a laminate system of integrated, optically clear materials that provides ballistic protection while ...

Introducing advanced analytics to aviation sustainment improves fleet readiness by aiding problem diagnosis and predictive maintenance. Mosaic’s Automated Logistics Environment Analytics Application (ALE AA) enables the use of high-end predictive analytics by analyzing data collected from aircraft in-flight performance monitoring systems to provide insight into fleet-wide aircraft performance. E ...

Propose development of Automated Interface Middleware Service (AIMS) solution to solve the federation integration problem. AIMS is devised to be a flexible simulation architecture messaging middleware that enables distributed, modular development of models, so modules may be integrated without modifying the simulation’s underlying software. The framework will integrate multiple models located at ...
