Precision Combustion, Inc. (PCI) proposes a simple, lightweight and regenerable system to detect and filter out contaminants in-situ via a concept originally developed and validated for NASA spacecraft life-support. It will be designed to permit drop-in integration with the OBOGS pilot breathing system and complement its operation. It will clean up pilot breathing air, protect OBOGS sorbent impair ...

Functional and information gaps have emerged in the systems that provide logistics support for U.S. Navy Food Service operations aboard ships and at shore galleys. These shortfalls have manifested themselves as inefficient workflows, extensive rework, unsatisfactory financial audit readiness, and can often result in a lack of available menu items on fleet mess decks. The Sonalysts Team proposes th ...

To realize the full potential of autonomous systems, it is imperative that they behave safely, correctly, ethically, and legally. Providing these assurances through offline verification alone is insufficient, due to the complex and changing nature of autonomous systems. Online monitoring and corrective actions are necessary to account for uncertainties, and to increase trust between a human superv ...

Sonalysts proposes to develop COA Battle Rehearsal and visualization Aid in 5-Dimensions (COBRA 5D), an innovative enhanced situational awareness and continuous maritime COA analysis and planning tool that extends surface Navy Battle Management Aids (BMAs) currently in development. COBRA 5D will enable rapid prototyping and demonstrate the feasibility of innovative dynamic and colorimetric tactica ...

Qualtech Systems, Inc. (QSI) proposes a Cyber-Resiliency Modeling and Assessment Framework leveraging its expertise in Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approaches, which facilitates cross-system risk-assessment of cyber-vulnerabilities, and analysis-of-options (AoA) studies in an ICS (Industrial Control System) architecture. An MBSE approach coupled with Risk Engineering would yield a compre ...

Sonalysts proposes to develop PING!, a fun and engaging browser-based serious game for team Antisubmarine Warfare (ASW) at sea and on shore training that targets AN/SQQ-89A(V) sonar operators with progressively challenging tactical scenarios. As teams compete for the best scores, they can focus on proficiencies in which they need the most work, based on integration with the Moodle Learning Managem ...

Resilience to evolving cybersecurity threats continues to be a high priority across Navy tactical and nontactical systems. Protecting these systems is a complex, daunting, technology challenge. Presently, a multilayered, defense-in-depth strategy is used to identify cyber-attacks and protect the core assets of a system, namely its data, from being compromised. Existing security tools and practices ...

Verus Research and the University of New Mexico (UNM) are pleased to respond to the Navy Phase I STTR solicitation N19A-T001 titled “Optimized Higher Power Microwave Sources.” Verus Research, in collaboration with UNM, propose to develop a GW-class, S-band, high power microwave (HPM) source to integrate in vehicle and vessel stopping systems. Our integrated approach ensures the objectives for ...

Improved magnetic anomaly detection can counter threats from quieter submarines and mines. This Phase I STTR project will address this goal using improved atomic magnetometry methods based on pumping alignment coherence in rubidium vapor. A means of changing the polarization of the pump light will ensure that atomic coherence can be pumped in any orientation of the magnetic field. Multiple probe b ...

Transparent Sky LLC (TSky) and UltraHiNet LLC propose algorithms systems for precision computation in real-time of 3D (RT3D) models using low size, weight, and power (SWaP) architectures. Results exploit the successful Phase I algorithm, Shell3D, that over 100 times faster than leading algorithms. Further work will: • Build and test a prototype system for UAV use. • Develop field-testable soft ...
