Avineon proposes to develop a model for acquiring, organizing, storing, distributing, and analyzing the combat systems data resulting from interoperability tests, corrective actions, upgrades and modifications, during the D-30 process. The analyses will:(1) assist in the determination of readiness, (2) plan modifications and (3) assigning the plans priorities, based upon available budget and criti ...

A new hand-held, lightweight, low-cost, modular, infrared remote sensor of chemical weapon agents (CWA) and toxic industrial chemicals (TIC) will be developed for anti-terrorism applications. The sensor will depend on new differential absorptionradiometer (DAR) technology that enables detection of multiple species while nearly perfectly correcting for interferences by atmospheric gases (such as w ...

The Air Force and other DoD agencies are seeking transformational communications and technology that will support legacy and future mission data transfers over lower-cost and more reliable network infrastructure, such as Internet Protocol (IP) networks.In Phase I, Avtec will (1) define the requirements for the Real Time Multiplexer (RTM), (2) evaluate the ability of existing COTS multiplexer/demul ...

In Phase II, the focus is select real world scenarios to demonstrate an actual implementation and to evaluate the performance of the proposed dynamic networking. Avtec will focus on the following Time Sensitive/Time Critical wide bandwidth applications:Link 16 Enhanced RELNAV Targeting in GPS denied Environments, and Advanced Tactical Targeting Technology (AT3). Avtec is currently involved in th ...

Avtec views this SOCOM program as an RF systems development program, more than just an antenna development program. The family of antennas developed under this program must work with a wide range of communications systems, and also provide a wide range offunctionality (communications reception and transmission over a broad frequency range with multiple radio systems, provide omni and directional c ...

Barron Associates, Inc. (BAI) proposes an aggressive Phase I effort to develop novel adaptive, integrated guidance, control, and estimation algorithms for ballistic-missile interceptors with stringent hit-to-kill requirements. The approach combines recentadvances in nonlinear control (backstepping) and estimation methods, and leverages on-line neural network technology for rapid adaptation and ro ...

Permanent Magnet Motor (PMM) technology, already used in demanding applications by the U.S. Navy and by the oil drilling industry, may be expanded to replace electro-hydraulic steering gear on DDG 51 class ships. PMM steering can potentially provide suchbenefits as improved dynamic performance, reduced noise emissions, lower maintenance, higher reliability, and lower life cycle cost.The challenge ...

The objective of the work proposed herein is to develop and demonstrate an approach for the fast protection of shipboard electrical power systems based on a novel high-speed relay (HSR) algorithm. The algorithm quickly and correctly detects and isolatesfaults, long before current levels reach thresholds required for protection by overcurrent relays. The HSR algorithm is ``tunable'' for different a ...

The ideal prognostic system would be generic, requiring no domain-specific knowledge for its application. The prognostic system must also perform across all operating regimes without generating an excessive number of false alarms, and must successfullydiagnose problems. The semi-empirical technique proposed herein by Barron Associates, Inc. and its academic partners at Princeton University takes a ...
