Within the increasingly contested undersea operational arena, the Navy needs a tactical and competitive advantage in undersea sensing and detection through improved situational awareness with respect to environmental parameters, such as sound speed profile (SSP) and bottom properties, that affect overall submarine sonar sensor performance. Current approaches for enhancing environmental situational ...

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.

In this Navy Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) program, Tetramer has developed a UV curable adhesive, TIMA, for use in mechanical splices for the repair of avionic fiber optic systems in the F/A-18 Hornet and other Department of Defense plaforms. Through Phase I and Phase II efforts, the TIMA adhesive performance was demonstrated in a breadboard system, surpassing all applicable quality cr ...

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 ...

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 ...

"Ocean Energy Extraction for Sensor Applications" has applications on buoy systems to be used by the United States Navy to increase situational awareness and battle-group integration by enabling power independent data acquisition and distributed sensor networks. Electro Standards Laboratories proposes to meet the requirements with mechanical wave energy extraction accomplished using integrated ele ...

We propose to carry out research and development of highly efficient broadband cryogenic switches using voltage controlled 2D electron gas in III-Nitride heterostructure field-effect transistors (HFETs). Due to extremely high electron density in the 2D channel formed at the AlGaN/GaN interface, III-Nitride HFET - based RF switches offer low insertion loss, lower than that of pin diodes and quite c ...

A yb laser at 976 nm is a three level system. By placing Sm in the core (to reduce stimulated emission above 1,000 nm) and Yb in a surrounding ring, a more efficient laser at 976 nm can be obtained. This will be Q-switched to serve as the first stage of a pulse source in a MOPA configuration. The second stage will be a HOM fiber designed to amplify the pulses from the first stage. With a HOM fiber ...

This document proposes a system that allows engineers from multiple disciplines, using numerous simulation packages, to input data from a variety of sources, both run-time and off-line, in a manner that allows them to examine that data in a number ofdifferent ways. The architecture should allow for a great deal of flexibility and extensibility, allowing engineers to add multiple types and styles ...

Sensorless linear motor control addresses the market need for cost effective and more reliable control of electric motors by removing the mechanical sensors from the feedback control system. The mechanical sensors are the weakest link in the controlsystem in terms of reliability and parts and maintenance costs, especially in demanding environments. For linear motors in particular, the position se ...
