This work is focused on the development of fabrication technology for large form-factor scintillation crystals for multi-modal detection of radioactive sources, and development of mobile imaging and mapping instruments based on these large format scintillators.

Gamma dosimetry is an integral part of radiation safety and protection for a wide range of military operations. For these applications, Geiger Müller (GM) tube is used as the standard gamma dose rate sensor. The cost-to-performance metric for this sensor type has reached a plateau and new sensor materials are needed for the next generation of dosimeters. Recently there has been a vast development ...

Under this SBIR topic N16-009, Metis Design Corporation (MDC) has presented a method for detection of damage in complex fastened joints. Rotorcraft have been at the forefront of Condition Based Maintenance (CBM). For nearly 20 years, Heath & Usage Monitoring Systems (HUMS) have been used on rotorcraft such as the H-60, CH-53E, and V-22 to collect prognostic data to reduce preventative maintenance ...

A new generation of miniaturized atomic magnetometers is being developed and integrated into naval platforms such small unmanned aerial systems (UASs).  This project leverages a previously developed miniaturized magnetic anomaly detection (MAD) unit to form new UAS configurations and signal processing methods that maximize performance against explosive hazards.

Electronic Warfare goals include controlling the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) by exploiting, deceiving, or denying enemy use of the spectrum while ensuring its use by friendly forces. To support these goals, Triton proposes to develop NOEMON, a neurosymbolic Cognition-as-a-Service (CaaS), multiagent-based distributed AI system.  The platform will generate machine actionable Electronic support ( ...

The Navy seeks to develop a cryogenic temperature retaining material that can maintain its cryogenic temperature, around 30 Kelvin, for a time period of 2-4 hours without substantially increasing the final system weight. The application is to maintain cryogenic temperatures on superconducting DC power cables in the event that cooling is interrupted. Most materials lose their specific heat capacity ...

Triton Systems proposes to develop a vacuum-processible, conjugated polymer coating for oriented monolayer conductivity, highly-uniform coverage, and anti-stiction performance. Such a coating is critical to the reliability of advanced Micro-Electromechanical Systems (MEMS) devices that malfunction if their micro-sized features become stuck. Stiction can occur from opposing surfaces being charged, ...

Triton Systems, Inc., in partnership with Vanderbilt University, will design, build, and test the Triton Sensor for Autonomous Identification and Location of Opposing Resistance (SAILOR), a hostile fire indicator mountable to Group 1 unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) and self-guiding target munitions. The Triton SAILOR uses a combination of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) optoelectronic components, CMO ...

Triton Systems and partners who are deep area experts will continue to develop a contemporary Higgins boat that can serve as littoral transport for personnel, manned vehicles, and unmanned autonomous systems.  The contemporary Higgins boat will support expeditionary advanced base operations with flexible and modular mission packages. This role variant vehicle will allow manned operation, remote o ...

Triton Systems, Inc. is proposing an innovative, low cost method for the delivery of sensor payloads to specific locations for oceanographic, environmental, and biologic data collection in various depths of water. The DART System (Deployment using Acoustic and Ranging Transmission) will be capable of delivering a payload to a predetermined location within a 33 ft radius. The DART vehicle will be c ...
