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 manually-adjusted tethers currently used as the primary restraints for non-seated crew members on rotary wing platforms have several deficiencies, including: the need for manual slack monitoring and adjustment; hindrance of movement due to nuisance locking; annoyance loads on the occupant; and, inconvenient or unrealistic access to the airframe-mounted control points of the systems. The propos ...

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 ...

Paragon proposed development of the Coacting High Integrity Material Energetic Release Attenuation (CHIMERA) system to contain energy release, exhaust products, and heat from failures of lithium ion batteries. CHIMERA uses a building block approach whereby layers of materials are tailored to provide thermal and over-pressurization protection for battery storage applications. Once qualified, these ...

The overall objective of this project is to provide NAWCAD with a local and enduring MUOS terminal test capability. This is achievable through W5’s Mobile User Objective Orientation System (MUOOS) which is the world’s first and only MUOS satellite and ground system simulator. This project is broken down into two objectives. Objective 1 is to assemble and deliver a MUOOS to NAWCAD’s laborator ...

Visual Landing Aids on air capable ships and aircraft carrier flight decks are required for night and/or low visibility aircraft operations for general lighting, navigation, flight deck, and special purposes. Future aircraft are expected to have hotter exhaust that could threaten the integrity of these lighting fixtures. During Phase 1 and Phase 2, a new form fit functional converter assembly, wit ...

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 output of the traditional optics fibers produce a Gaussian-shaped output due to the internal mode structure. Moreover, the output from traditional optical fibers contains spatial non-uniformities that are undesirable for certain applications. Many advanced applications require a “flat-top” intensity distribution of the laser beam as it produces uniform illumination and minimizes speckle. T ...
