The goal of this Phase II SBIR is to extract more information from existing submarine acoustic sensors through a highly innovative inter- and intra-sensor correlation algorithmic, in order to provide U.S. submarines with increased acoustic superiority over increasingly quiet adversaries. U.S. adversaries are continuously improving their acoustic quieting technologies through efforts such as marine ...

The ultimate goal of this SBIR effort is to deliver improvements to existing Fleet electronic warfare support systems by using statistical learning techniques to aid in the classification and unique identification of modern radar emitters. Since software-defined and solid-state emitters do not have the analog features traditionally used for classification, we will use more abstract, but well-defin ...

Rigid Wall Shelters (RWS) are an integral building block for Marine Corp operations and support a multitude of operational needs from maintenance and repair operations to command posts and medical operations. There are several critical operational deficiencies with metal RWS. The weight of legacy systems and lack of insulation result in a high cost to transport and difficulty heating and cooling i ...

SEA CORP will leverage the innovative technologies developed under the prior SBIR Phase II project and extend the Research & Development (R&D) activities to the development of critical submarine combat system payload integration efforts. In the previous effort, components were successfully developed facilitating integration of Improved Submarine Launched Mobile Mine (ISLMM) capability aboard subma ...

Phase I research resulted in an overall framework and set of component algorithms for the Visual Argumentation for Resolving Inefficiencies (VARI) platform. VARI uses best-in-breed algorithms and a novel visual interface to enable contributors to better structure their arguments and increase the quality of contributions of the system. Through standardized, yet adaptable processes, contributors can ...

This project involves the development of innovative acoustic motion (accelerometer) sensors with increased tolerances to shock and improving commercial readiness. Investigations and developments of sensor that can withstand is considered.

The objective of the efforts being proposed is to develop high energy density and power density batteries with long cycle life by high-speed additive manufacturing technologies.

Develop innovative methods and associated tools to support the definition of Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) capabilities and their individual instruments using an Open Architecture (OA) approach, to allow for precise understanding of the ATE, interoperability across Navy and DoD electronics maintenance, and improved utilization of Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) tools to support ATE operations. Th ...

In this proposal, a broadband laser system is explored which has the potential to deliver high power over a broad portion of the long wavelength infrared (LWIR) spectral range. The system is composed of multiple quantum cascade laser modules which are spectrally combined into a single output beam. In order to simplify system construction, the system is designed to operate with a small number of ac ...

The need to launch Unmanned Underwater Vehicles from a 21" torpedo tube environment is of interest. To address this need, a carbon fiber composite sabot system utilizing advanced materials is proposed. The Unmanned Underwater Vehicle Sabot System (UUVSS) will be designed to function within a 21" torpedo tube environment on Virginia Class submarines. The proposed technology will be fabricated, test ...
