EMISSION CONTROL (EMCON), INCLUDING RADAR EMISSION MANAGEMENT, IS A SUBDIVISON OF THE MUCH GREATER SUBJECT OF BATTLE MANAGEMENT. AT PRESENT, THERE IS NOT A FULL DEVELOP AND NAVY ACCEPTED TECHNIQUE FOR EXAMINING THE ENTIRE TECHNICAL MANAGEMENT OF POTENTIAL SEA BATITLES. THIS PROPOSED EFFORT WILL FOCUS ON A VALUABLE SUBSET OF BATTLE STRATEGY, THE INTERPLAY BETWEEN ELECTROMAGNETIC EMISSION CONTROL AN ...

WE HAVE RECENTLY DEVELOPED A DURABLE INFRARED OPTICAL HUMIDITY SENSOR FOR AIRBORNE IN-CLOUD USE. WE ARE CURRENTLY ADAPTING THIS SENSOR FOR USE IN THE EXTREME PRESSURES AND TEMPERATURES OF PRIMARY COOLANT LOOPS OF GAS-COOLED NUCLEAR REACTORS. IN THIS PROPOSED PHASE I EFFORT WE WILL THEORETICALLY AND EXPERIMENTALLY SHOW THAT IT IS FEASIBLE TO ADOAPT OUR EXISTING NON-CONTACT MOISTURE SENSING TENCHNOL ...

DEVELOPMENT IS PROPOSED OF AN IMPROVED TYPE OF 400 HZ LINE VOLTAGE REGULATOR (LVR) THAT INHERENTLY PROVIDES LOW-DISTORTION OUTPUT VOLTAGE WITH NON-LINEAR LOADS WITH DISTORTED INPUT VOLTAGE. REGULATION IS ACCOMPLISHED BY ALTERNATELY SWITCHING AT HIGH FREQUENCY A BOOST OR A BUCKTRANSFORMER SECONDARY WINDING IN SERIES BETWEEN THE LVR INPUT AND OUTPUT. THE LVR FUNCTIONS AS A VARIABLE-RATIO TRANSFORMER ...

THIS PROPOSAL ADDRESSES THE NEED FOR AN UNMANNED MULTI-PURPOSE NAVY ROBOT SUITABLE FOR OUTDOOR, INDOOR OR SHIPBOARD USE. SUCH A VEHICLE CAN BE READILY DERIVED FROM UNIQUE'S PRIOR WORK ON HIGH PERFORMANCE FULL MOBILITY VEHICLE PLATFORMS. THIS PLATFORM, MADE POSSIBLE BECAUSE OF UNIQUE'S HIGHLY EFFICIENT PROPRIETARY ELECTRIC DRIVE SYSTEM, INCORPORATES FOUR WHEEL DRIVE WITH FOUR WHEEL 360 DEG STEER IN ...

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 ...

Miniature

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 ...

Polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) electrolysis is used on-board submarines to generate breathing oxygen for the crew. Expensive noble metals are used as electrocatalysts and these precious metals contribute to approximately 25% of the cost of the electrolysis cell. Greatly reducing or eliminating the amount of noble metal electrocatalysts would significantly reduce the cost of the electrolysis ce ...

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 ...

In the Phase II effort, CEI will develop an Advanced Direct Digital Exciter for Radar (ADDER) targeted for the AN/SPS 49A(V) (SPS-49) search radar as part of the SPS-49 technical refresh with relevance to other military and commercial applications (e.g. exciter, Software Defined Radio (SDR)). ADDER will directly replace the multi-step Intermediate Frequency (IF) analog conversion with direct-digit ...
