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 ...

An Interactive Structural Analysis Environment and Management System (iSAMS), designed to support the practice of simulation governance of engineered repairs of metallic and composite aircraft structures, is enhanced, certified and deployed for production deployment. Repairs to modern military aircraft require certified engineering analysis methods. Methods have evolved with the history of airfram ...

The computational framework designed to meet the technical requirements of Simulation Governance with the goal of enabling reliable predictions of damage accumulation caused by cyclic loading in metallic airframe components that have small initial flaws, will be validated at the component level. The predictive performance of the model to determine the remaining fatigue life of mechanical component ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Throughout the SBIR Phase I, it was shown that it is possible to develop a solution which was capable of procedurally identifying and generating the support structures necessary for powder bed additive manufacturing (AM). In addition, it was shown that this new combination of support structures greatly increases the likelihood of a quality build. Upon this body of knowledge, the Phase II base will ...

To address the need for oceanography tactics training able to enhance community knowledge of how oceanography impacts antisubmarine-warfare (ASW) prosecution in both analysis and employment of tactical sonar systems, ARiA will build on the success of the Phase I effort to further develop the ESAIL Cloud software-based tool for generation of training content on tactical employment of oceanography t ...
