Military missions require that the teams of autonomous UAVs to maintain a high degree of coordination to efficiently execute desired missions in environments where mission objectives may be changing in real time and in the presence of pop-up threats, whil

Advancements in submarine quieting technologies have made the threats faced by the U.S. Navy increasingly difficult to localize using traditional passive acoustic sonar. This difficulty has renewed interest in optimizing the performance of active sonars such the Low Frequency Active (LFA) and Compact Low Frequency Active (CLFA) systems for the Surveillance Towed Array Sensor System. LFA and CLFA w ...

The US Navy requires a Reliable Acoustic Path A-sized sonobuoy system. Major technical challenges include long distance data telemetry from near the deep ocean floor, sensor design to reduce electronic noise to exploit the environment, flow and vertical motion induced noise mitigation, and deployment and packaging given A-size buoy constraints.The Phase I effort demonstrated the practicality of a ...

Prognostics and health management (PHM) technology is critical for monitoring, detecting, and managing impending faults and enabling proactive maintenance of electronic systems before actual failures occur. This is essential to enhancing weapons system availability and maintaining a high level of mission readiness and system affordability. Current PHM advancements have focused on developing physic ...

Progeny Systems has performed analysis and preliminary design of an Expendable Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (ExCTD) sensor that can be launched from the 3 launcher on the submarine during the SBIR Phase I effort. The ExCTD can launch, ascend toward the surface, flood (change buoyancy) and then descend to sample the water column every 10 feet during ascent and every 5 feet during descent at ...

The introduction of new sensors into the Navy combat systems is risk prone due to the lack of complex simulation of the sensors. The ability to simulate predicted faults with data from a complex ocean simulation can reduce integration issues and cost. The simulation would also reduce the time it takes to introduce new sensors into the fleet by allowing the tactical system to update, test, and tune ...

All marine vessels with installed toilets must be equipped with a marine sanitation device (MSD) to minimize the impact of discharging potential pathogens into the environment. Although waste water is generally processed according to regulations, the effluents from many of the deployed MSDs are not routinely monitored for coliforms; it is simply assumed that the MSD is working properly. Therefore, ...

CCRi will enhance the utility of large-scale, geographically separated, semantic datasets by developing distributed capabilities for level 1 (entity resolution) and level 2 (inference) data fusion. CCRi will extend the model training server developed in Phase I, as well as the advanced techniques for concept extraction and visualization of large-scale semantic datasets developed during a parallel ...

Progeny will establish the Android Security Toolkits requirements by analyzing the KNOX specific STGs. Progeny will utilize the Samsung KNOX SDK to create a MDM device application and a web based administration console to comply with the Samsung Android with the KNOX STIGs. Progeny will develop test cases based on the Samsung Android with KNOX specific STIGs to validate that our solution meets all ...

Rapid response missions to remote, unknown areas are becoming a primary focus for U.S. military forces. These missions require time-sensitive development of intelligence from all available sources including open source data, historic imagery, and live collections. Capabilities currently exist to extract low-level information (i.e. entities, relationships, and actions) from these large scale data s ...
