The Sonalysts Team proposes the research, identification, and Proof-of-Concept demonstration of an architecture solution to the Fleet Numeric Meteorological and Oceanographic (METOC) Center (FNMOC) to include a software suite of tools for the Navy Advanced Climate Analysis and Forecast (ACAF) System. This approach will allow end users and FNMOC analysts to manipulate the latest climate, meteorolog ...

Submarine operations are increasingly complex and lack automated support. This has made mission planning and conduct cumbersome, labor-intensive, and error prone. As a result, PEO-IWS5 and ONR developed and fielded the AN/BYG-1 Mission Planning Application (MPA) to help streamline mission planning workflow. To assist with further streamlining of mission planning workflows, Sonalysts Phase I SBIR d ...

EOSPACE proposes to extend the development of the Photonic VNA demonstrated in the Phase I effort and pursue technology insertion opportunities into an appropriate Navy program such as SEWIP Block 2/3.

Resodyn Corporation proposes to develop a single tough thermoplastic polymer coating material and system solution for aluminum and composite boat hulls. The coating functions as an adhesive for attaching doubler plates. It encapsulates and prevents water from corroding metal substrates plus it is hydrophobic and can include corrosion inhibitors and colorant. Basic polymer components are tough ther ...

The use of unattended floats, platforms, and drones addresses the immense challenge of cost-effectively characterizing the chemistry of the oceans. The proposed program strengthens this capability by demonstrating the feasibility of Laser Fluorescence Enhanced Flame Spectrophotometry (LFEFS) for the simultaneous and high precision measurement of calcium and strontium. These are key elements of the ...

Sonalysts will research and develop an immersive 3D trainer for the Battle Force Tactical Network (BFTN). Utilizing past efforts and development conducted under the Phase I SBIR effort, Sonalysts will create a robust simulation-based training system that will allow operators of the BFTN to train for challenging Anti-Access Area Denial (A2AD) events. Present training consists of standard Computer-B ...

There has been a renewed push across NASA centers and programs to make Systems Engineering & Integration (SE&I) processes more efficient and results-oriented than the current cumbersome and expensive cross-checking processes using text documents, and transition to a repeatable and a cost-effective process of Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE). In parallel, Systems Health management (SHM), with ...

In Phase II, the QSI-Vanderbilt team seeks to develop a system-level diagnostics and prognostic process that incorporates a "sense and respond capability," which first uses error codes and discrete sensor values to correctly diagnose the system health including degradations and failures of sensors and components, and then invokes appropriate prognostics routines for the assessment of RUL and perfo ...

Particle size distribution (PSD) is a fundamental environmental measurement, with diverse biogeochemical applications including carbon cycle science, ecosystem and fisheries modeling, and harmful algal bloom (HAB) detection/prediction. There is optimism that estimates of PSD will be available from ocean color measurements (such as NASA's upcoming PACE mission), and will be able to help constrain g ...

A prototype high temperature, single optical fiber thermal imaging system will be developed, tested, and delivered to GRC. The components of the instrument will be specified in detail, designed, fabricated, and purchased where appropriate. The illumination and imaging system will be assembled and system tests will be performed. Given a set of calibration images produced by the diagnostic, the i ...
