Physical Sciences Inc. proposes to develop and demonstrate novel composite propellant formulations using chemically modified forms of currently used propellant ingredients. The developed formulations will allow drop-in replacement of presently used double base formulations used CAD/PADs, such as rocket motor ejection seats. The innovative chemistries, combined with specific changes in the propella ...

GVD and its partners propose to develop an active anti-tamper conformal coating based on GVD"s proprietary polymer thin film vapor deposition technology. There is an immediate need to for improved anti-tamper (AT) technologies to protect critical program information (CPI) found in the software of weapon systems used by the US Military and its allies. Current state-of-the-art AT coatings applied to ...

Hstar proposes a mobile, advanced, agile, and adaptable Mission Module handling (A3M2-Hand) system which is compatible with Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) Mission Modules and common to all LCS configurations. Hstar"s innovative approach separates the lifting and transporting of the Mission Modules into two flexible, modular systems. Key subsystems include: highly maneuverable, reconfigurable Omni-dire ...

Operational availability of Navy systems has become a function of mechanical, electronic, computer, software, and network systems availability. Further, the challenge of maintaining operational availability will grow to enterprise scale as the Navy moves towards tactical cloud computing that automates information sharing and command and control services. However, in todays distributed computing en ...

As Navy operations change from open ocean to littoral regions, the impact of environmental effects on battlespace awareness increases. Defending against threats such as cruise missiles can be complicated by atmospheric effects that may change quickly in littoral regions. Evaporative ducts and related phenomena can affect propagation of not only radar but other RF systems. Improving the capability ...

Triton Systems, Inc. (Triton), is developing an Autonomous Undersea Vehicle that provides covert and persistent undersea surveillance in littoral waters. It utilizes less energy than other similar vehicles (low Joule/km and net positive Joules/year), and can operate in shallow coastal environment where others cannot. The system is called the Persistent, Autonomous, Repositionable, Surveillance (PA ...

This program will accelerate transitioning of high-throughput versions of JENTEKs MWM Array eddy-current sensors and GridStation impedance instruments to the U.S. Navy. The proposed systems will have between 350 and 600 fully parallel impedance channels. With greater data acquisition speed from each channel and with substantial increase in the number of fully parallel channels, larger surface area ...

During carrier-based aircraft mission planning, threat data is currently subject to repeated, manual transcription as it is repeatedly hand-typed into Joint Mission Planning Software (JMPS), Microsoft Excel, and other tools. This creates several mission risks, including: Data transcription into some software takes an enormous amount of time, in some cases well over an hour. As a consequence, stri ...

SI2 Technologies, Inc. (SI2) proposes to design and develop a wideband, electronically steered multi-beam transmit array for Navy surface ship EW systems. We will build on our Phase I efforts to demonstrate a 20:1 bandwidth array with wide instantaneous bandwidth and high efficiency at targeted frequencies. In Phase II, the wideband array concept will be refined through modeling and hardware. An ...

The Navy objective in this SBIR program is to develop a size, weight and power-optimized integrated GPS and Iridium anti-jam solution for Navy UAS platforms. In the Phase I feasibility study, Mayflower developed and analyzed the system architecture of a highly integrated Iridium/GPS Anti-Jam Antenna System (iGAASTM) solution, designed to mitigate jamming in the GPS and Iridium bands, that can be p ...
