The operational need for this improved towed array technology insertion initiative stems from the necessity to improve availability and reliability of towed arrays in use on submarines in both shallow and deep water environments, and represents a critical submarine capability enhancement. The proposed project will extend and transition the telemetry, packaging and iPEN technologies developed und ...

The objective of this effort is to develop the Integrated Combat System (ICS) for use in tactical vehicles within the Marine Corps Networking-On-The-Move (NOTM) program. The ICS provides a consolidated view for tactical Command & Control (C2) operations, enabling the capability to operate all C2 systems from each display/interface, along with logging and monitoring of vehicle system status for dat ...

The focus of this Select Phase II program is to build and deliver laser components both for airborne water vapor and ozone DIAL systems. Specifically, Fibertek proposes to deliver to NASA the following prototype systems: 1) A complete water vapor DIAL transmitter with single-line output tunable over the 936 nm water vapor line, 2) A wavelength converter for ozone DIAL compatible with the ...

Recent events such as the fire on the USS GEORGE WASHINGTON have shown that communications and decision making can have a dominant impact on scenario outcomes involving shipboard fires. The processes by which information is learned, disseminated, assembled, and processed have a direct effect on where, when, and what kind of response is mounted by the crew. Current recoverability simulations, such ...

Capitalizing on a strong expertise in III-Nitride epitaxy, GaN-Si power device designs, and wide-bandgap power electronics, researchers at GeneSiC Semiconductor propose a SBIR program focused on the development of 15 kW/300C-rated power converters using AlGaN/GaN-Si MOS-HFETs and Schottky rectifiers. The proposed AlGaN/GaN-Si power converters to be developed in this program will usher in a new gen ...

Radio spectrum is a scarce and therefore valuable commodity. There is a growing need in both government and commercial sectors to make more efficient use of the available spectrum to serve greater densities of users as well as support higher data rates. Not only has demand for spectrum exponentially increased in recent times, but spectrum currently allocated to DoD users is being reallocated for c ...

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant The Virtual Occupational Therapy Assistant VOTA will enable stroke patients to practice activities of daily living ADLs as part of an in patient skilled nursing outpatient home health and or teletherapy rehabilitation program The system leverages low cost human motion tracking advanced kinematic pose estimation algorithms and state of the art game e ...

Tanks and enclosures were named the top corrosion expense on Navy vessels, accounting for $204 M in annual direct costs. To control these costs, there is a need for an automated monitoring system to assess coating damage and cathodic protection (CP) system performance. During the Phase II program, Luna proposes to complete a prototype coating condition monitoring system (CCMS) suitable for submari ...

ABSTRACT: Currently, there is no certified, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)-based solution for cross-domain voice and video. More specifically, combatant commands and other agencies have requirements to enable users across different security networks to initiate and receive direct cross-domain audio and videophone calls, and to participate in audio conference calls. To address this need, Tr ...

The objective of this project is to develop high-fidelity, computationally efficient, physics based models for electro-optical imaging systems that operate from an above-water platform and are used to detect underwater objects. The goal is to accurately simulate the output of such systems and provide meaningful quantitative measures of their performance based on environment and threat specificatio ...
