Award Data

The Portable Multimodal Biometric Device (PMBD) application developed by Aware Inc. will provide an integrated capability to employ individual-oriented identity information during the conduct of maritime and expeditionary operations. The PMBD application will rapidly establish identity information of unknown individuals encountered during the conduct of operations and improve force capacity to upd ...

This Phase II Small Business Research Project will develop a prototype for a Lightweight Laser Magnetic Gradiometer suitable for integration into UUVs such as the Remus 100 and similar platforms. The LLMG is used to characterize buried mines and eliminate sonar clutter in shallow water MCM operations where it is desirable to remove men and other mammals from the water. The LLMG will consist of two ...

Program Executive Office Submarines (PEO SUB) requires initiatives that help it achieve its Virginia Class platform cost reduction objectives as well as contributing innovative technologies to the Submarine Based Strategic Deterrent (SBSD) development and legacy classes (SSGN). To this end, PEO SUB requires technology initiatives that contribute to the goal of controlling multiple sensors using a ...

Due to their high power density and efficiency, large capacity, high temperature superconductor (HTS) motors and generators offer a number of advantages over conventional electrical machines for ship propulsion and power generating systems. One of the key practical issues with HTS machines and other shipboard HTS systems is the support equipment required to accommodate the required cryogenic opera ...

TIAX proposes to develop a solid state heading sensor to meet Navy towed array requirements.

The U.S. military’s next-generation radio system, JTRS, is based on Software Defined Radio (SDR) technology and will create new opportunities, methods, and applications for generating and sharing tactical data. One of the many challenges in realizing the JTRS vision is to create small, lightweight, embeddable devices that operate from battery power, meet the requirements for performance, SCA com ...

To develop and deliver a back projection screen and projector mounting assembly that is designed specifically to take advantage of the technological advancements that have taken place in the commercial display marketplace. With the introduction of light weight, very high performance projectors, it has become possible for the first time to take a true COTS projector and install it on a full-motion ...

COCOMs and G/RSSCs need the ability to rapidly and conveniently perform MUOS communications usage planning and to determine if a particular allocation is sufficient so as to, if necessary, negotiate an adjusted apportionment to service their priorities and throughput requirements. To satisfy this need, ORB Analytics, LLC, proposes a MUOS Quick Planner that executes an approach that exploits COTS 3 ...

Advances in superconducting technology over the past few years have resulted in High Temperature Superconductor (HTS) systems onboard Navy ships. HTS based systems can lower costs dramatically by lowering system weight and power consumption. These HTS systems, however, require efficient, maintenance-free and cost-effective cooling. Depending on ship class and HTS systems, 40 cryocoolers may be nec ...

During our Phase I SBIR program, KaZaK Composites, Inc., in collaboration with Raytheon IDS, developed and evaluated concepts that enabled compact stowage and automated deployment of self defense systems located in shared spaces of seven different mooring stations on DDG 1000. The design problem confronted was the need to store either the ROSAM gun system or LRAD nonlethal defense system in the sm ...
