Wolf is developing an aircrew-mounted helicopter restraint system for mobile aircrew that prevents ejection from the aircraft and provides crash and fall protection. It attaches to any D-ring currently used to attach the gunner's belt, and requires no modification to the aircraft to use. It automatically manages the slack between the aircrew and the attachment point. It senses motion associated wi ...

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 ...

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 ...

The objective of this effort is to construct and test a 40 kW UPS with at least 100ms of holdup time, integrated into a standard 19 inch rack mount enclosure with 4U (7 inch) height, and designed to meet electrical and mechanical/shock specifications required for naval shipboard application. Traditional UPS applications are typically not optimized for weight and volume, and utilize bulky lead-acid ...

Amida's Phase II prototype will be a “user system” comprised of an Evaluation Methodology, a Hardware Emulation Unit, and several software items (Trojan/Trigger Insertion, Instrument/ Countermeasure Insertion, Data Collection and Analysis, and an Evaluation Recommendation). It will be instantiated as a physical device and enable a user to evaluate a system in a virtualized and safe environment ...

Solid state RF and millimeter wave weapons systems require substantial power to operate. Pure solid state systems have limited energy density and require charging over the typical use cycle. The directed energy system must be compact enough to mount on a vehicle such as a HMMWV, a small trailer or a structure such as found within an embassy compound. Current power systems are much too large and he ...

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 primary objective of this Phase II proposal is to further develop and demonstrate a lightweight passive power factor compensation unit utilizing advanced high-temperature magnetic materials and design techniques to achieve power quality improvement for a 65 kVA, 115V, 400-Hz aircraft power system. Based on identified system problems in the F-18 Super Hornet platform, the compensation system mu ...

To address the Navy need for enhanced ambient-noise modeling for sonar-sensor performance estimation, sonar tactical decision aids (TDAs), and simulation-based training, ARiA will develop, demonstrate, and transition key building blocks for an enhanced multidimensional ambient-noise model (MDANM) needed to overcome the limitations of the current state of practice for noise modeling in sonar TDAs a ...
