Four-dimensional (4-D) Oceanographic Instrumentation
SBC: BENTHOS, INC. Topic: N02197The dissemination of data collected from undersea systems historically has been accomplished via cable and/or by RF telemetry. In many cases the available (limited) signal processing capability has required the transmission of raw or only slightly processed data to the end user. Because of limited telemetry bandwidths, only a few sensors could therefore be active at any one time. Due to recent ...

Underwater Acoustic Communications
SBC: BENTHOS, INC. Topic: N05T022This proposal is concerned with the development of very long range acoustic communications (acomms) with submerged submarines with towed arrays . To achieve long ranges, we must move down from our conventional signaling above 10 kHz, to a frequency regime which imposes little attenuation on the signals. Based upon the availability of an extensive, well-documented long-range sonar data base, we p ...

Underwater Acoustic Positioning System
SBC: BENTHOS, INC. Topic: N04205ABSTRACT The US Naval Special Warfare (NSW) and Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD) organizations require the development of a new underwater positioning/navigation system. Most existing systems utilize acoustic transponders in a long baseline (LBL) or similar configuration to provide navigation assistance to underwater vehicles. The Navy has identified LBL-related issues such as limited accurac ...

A Profiling Bioluminescence Sensor for use in the Coastal Ocean
SBC: BENTHOS, INC. Topic: N05T026Collecting and understanding marine bioluminescence (BL) distribution data is an important Navy requirement for strategic operations. Bioluminescence profile, spatial distribution, and temporal data can be used to understand the vulnerability of covert operations or to determine the detection threshold of hostile forces. Additionally, the low-cost collection and cataloging of this information wil ...

Automated Launch and Recovery of Un-tethered, Mini-Unmanned Underwater Vehicles from Unmanned Surface Vehicles
SBC: BLUEFIN ROBOTICS CORP. Topic: N04127The US Navy will use growing numbers of unmanned autonomous vehicles to perform a variety of functions including mine surveillance and subsurface mapping, particularly in connection with missions for the Littoral Combat Ship. These functions are often performed by deployment of sensors, sources and arrays from organic offboard vehicles (OOVs). During Phase I of this project, Bluefin Robotics Corp. ...

Passive Dynamic Icephobic Coatings
SBC: Cape Cod Research Topic: N04084Advanced ice prevention technology is required to meet the US Navy's needs in protecting ship superstructures and personnel from the damaging effects of ice accretion. Severe ice accretion on ship superstructures can result in drastic loss of stability and handling. Many de-icing methods have been developed around the concept of mechanical or thermal energy. These methods are efficient but they ...

Hydrogen Separation from a Logistic-Fuel Reformate Stream
SBC: CellTech Power, LLC Topic: N05040A two step reforming process for diesel type fuels with high sulfur content is proposed. In the first step the fuel is passed through an electric arc, as a result of which the fuel decomposes into mainly hydrogen carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and water. To prevent soot formation a certain amount of air is added to the fuel. The process is called plasma reforming, and has demonstrated high toler ...

Surface Finising Polycrystalline Alumina Missile Domes
SBC: CERANOVA CORP Topic: N04172Increasing missile velocities coupled with higher sensor performance requires commensurate improvements in dome performance. Cutting large sapphire crystals into hemispherical domes has become a commercially viable, though relatively expensive, business. The machining and polishing of sapphire into more aerodynamic dome shapes, such as an ogive, is a much more difficult and expensive endeavor. ...

Polycrystalline Alumina Ogive Missile Domes
SBC: CERANOVA CORP Topic: N04173The increasing missile velocities coupled with higher sensor performance requires commensurate improvements in window and dome performance so that they do not limit the imaging capability of the sensors. Sapphire is the most durable, commercially available infrared missile dome material. The machining and polishing of sapphire into more aerodynamic dome shapes, such as an ogive, is a difficult a ...

Hybrid Inferencing for Data Fusion and Situation Assessment
SBC: CHARLES RIVER ANALYTICS, INC. Topic: N04T025We have developed a hybrid inference system for data fusion (DF) and situation assessment (SA) for multi-source intelligence analysis, with specific application to Marine Corps operations in urban environments. The approach views an urban environment as a complex dynamic system whose state vector is composed of a large number of both discrete and continuous variables (hence is hybrid) representing ...
