EOM Offshore, LLC will design and conduct proof-of-concept studies for a mechanically compliant mooring cable, to include embedded optical fiber, called LEO (lightweight electro-optical) stretch hose. Based on EOMs existing neutrally-buoyant electro-mechanical stretch hose, and having previous optical fiber study, EOM will perform two LEO studies in parallel to retire highest risks early. First, p ...

Triton will develop a specialized airborne robot that can autonomously detect, identify, and safely treat bird nests to halt embryo development.

The need for long submerged durations and more power-hungry mission packages in unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) applications has spurned the development of advanced energy storage systems that can achieve energy densities greater than current battery chemistries. Hydrogen/oxygen fuel cells, while demonstrating good efficiency and system simplicity, are constrained by the volume requirements of h ...

The Optically-Aided Safety Enhancement System (OASES) project develops core technologies for an Optical Collision Detection/Operator Situational Awareness System applicable to the MQ-8C Fire Scout VTUAV and other Class 4 UAVs. OASES integrates a Wide-Field-of-View (WFOV) uncooled long-wave infra-red (LWIR) camera array for search-detect-track functionality with a micro-gimbal plus zoom Narrow-Fiel ...

The primary objective of the proposed INAV-SL (Image Based Navigation for VTUAV Shipboard Landing) program is to provide an advanced image-based navigation system in response to Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) (PMA-266) capability needs for a backup landing system for the MQ-8 Fire Scout Vertical Take-off and Landing (VTOL) Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (VTUAVT). The INAV-SL system utilizes ...

Use of electromagnetic energy to accelerate payloads has significant advantages over conventional methods such as chemical propellant, steam, or compressed air. Systems can be safer, lower wear, lower maintenance and can potentially achieve higher velocities than conventional methods. Tailoring of launch velocities and launch velocity profiles over a wide range is also readily done.The key to effe ...

Advances in Additive Manufacturing (AM) have enabled the possibility of producing full-strength working prototypes for manufacturing/functional optimization of new and existing components. Triton Systems, Inc. proposes to provide for the Navy a continuation of a feasibility study and demonstrative prototyping efforts for Navy sonobuoy components to detail potential performance benefits, production ...

Triton Systems proposes to develop innovative SUBSAFE hull penetrator technology to connect HEL weapon system subcomponents through a submarine pressure hull to facilitate the integration of a HEL weapon system on VIRGINIA Class submarines. The risks associated with getting power from the laser source to the masthead include limitations in current penetrators, and limitations on the length of the ...

A major advance in submarine sensing technology was enabled in the early 2000s with the advent of the Navys Integrated Submarine Imaging Systems (ISIS) program, which has incorporated visual and digital imaging into photonic mast assemblies, providing all-weather, high-resolution imagery. The Navy has identified that current antireflection (AR) coatings do not adequately meet photonic mast specifi ...

Because naval operators are responsible for performing preventative maintenance and monitoring the Operational Availability (Ao) of a large number of vessel components within complex systems, there is a high risk of unnecessary or unwarranted maintenance of components, which can inflate costs and significantly delay deployments. Although each vessel emits copious amounts of data, this data is conf ...
