Beacon will create a cloud-based Digital Infrastructure Sustainment Platform for the Surface Combat Systems Center, with a goal of providing real-time visibility into system capabilities and readiness and event planning. Beacon will develop and configure the prototype platform for managing baselines for SCSC. It will be capable of integration with any modern system, of where there are several sta ...

The Navy's continued pursuit of standoff in dangerous and high risk environments is challenging for Navy EOD operators due to operation in currents, extended depths, and the limits that underwater operations put on communications. To this end, Boston Engineering had developed the Communications and Operation Node for Expeditionary Underwater Systems (CONEXUS), an integration kit that provides 3-5k ...

This proposal addresses the challenge of incorporating non-kinematic features into tactical active sonar tracking algorithms applied to surface anti-submarine warfare. The central focus is the development of three general methods that use feature information (i.e., their statistical characterization) to improve both data association and filtering. The methods are general in that they apply to a wi ...

The MTC2 system is an ACAT 3 program of record currently under development by PMW 150 that will deliver the next generation of maritime C2 capabilities to the fleet. In order to meet Fleet needs for MTC2, PMW 150 relies on the Science and Technology division to research, develop and evaluate new technologies for consideration. The Command and Control Experimentation (C2X) system provides a Researc ...

A lightweight, stowable UAV Recovery System is proposed to meet the Navy’s need for a lightweight, inexpensive, automated ship system for safely recovering and securing multiple types of fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) on small deck Navy ships with minimal ship design and onboard manning impacts. During the project engineers will design, construct and demonstrate a Recovery System pro ...

This Phase II program consists of advanced research and engineering development that leads to the delivery of a software package enabling the potential deployment in tactical networks of a Secure Voice over IP (SVoIP) application. This software package referred to as the Secure Voice Core Technology (SVCT) incorporates the Variable Data Rate (VDR) voice encoder developed by the Naval Research Labo ...

Imperia Batteries, a division of Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI), proposes to develop and demonstrate a process to reduce the cost of the Hammerhead energy storage system while meeting the functional, performance and form factor requirements. In this process, the separator will be directly applied as a coating to the surface of a battery electrode. The key advantages of the directly applied separator ...

Subsequent Phase II Proposal, extension of Phase I contract N00014-13-P-1152.Under the ACTUV program, DARPA developed a strategically critical autonomous anti-submarine warfare vessel, called Sea Hunter. One key to Sea Hunter’s success is an ability to avoid collisions with manned vessels by following the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS). However, autonomous C ...

To continue organizational excellence and world superiority, the Navy must make wise, evidence-based investments in training systems to maximize return-on-investment (ROI). High-fidelity simulations are costly to develop and run, and they may not result in the best learning gains. The Navy needs a way to understand how fidelity, task complexity and level of experience interact to develop ideal tra ...
