The Low Cost Space Coupled Phased Array Radar is a high performance, low cost, compact, totally integrated radar system designed specifically for mobile and small ship platforms. Design and cost objectives are met by use of an innovative space coupled array architecture which cost effectively utilizes emerging monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs) and a sophisticated, compact wavefo ...

This Phase I effort will result in the development of a PC based software application which publishes specifications and performs requirements tracing using a relational database management system. Research has shown that none of the current requirements management products reviewed "encompassed all of the systems engineering methodology ... and that "expensive, elaborate toolsets tended to ...

Geoloc will create and test an innovative GPS receiver software algorithm for processing Global Positioning System radio beacon data. The objective is to increase the accuracy of the single-frequency receiver's position determination by simultaneously solving for all unknown variables in the geolocation problem, rather than approximating them as is common in existing receiver algorithms. The ...

GeoLogics Team personnel will investigate the use of current and emerging security and VLAN standards being produced by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) LAN/MAN Standards Committee (LMSC) under Project 802. IEEE LMSC working group 802.10 is chartered with producing the Standard for Interoperable LAN/MAN Security (SILS) and IEEE LMSC working group 802.1 is chartere ...

The purpose of the FLAG (Fuzzy Logic Algorithm Grouping) Data Fusion SBIR is to provide an enhancement to the Navy's warfare capabilities in C4I (Command, Control, Computer, Communications and Intelligence) by developing an architecture that fuses acoustic and all-source data in an innovative manner. The medium risk and high payoff technology being implemented is fuzzy logic, which addresses the s ...

This proposal investigates spectral decomposition methods for identifying and classifying mine-related acoustic events. Minelaying operations produce a set of acoustic signature events ranging from the repeated splashes from mines dropped from an airplane, to the whirring of a motor unreeling a cable tethering a mine a set distance below the surface. Standard time-frequency (t-f) images, su ...

A new technique is proposed for the prediction and prevention of failures in sensors and avionics. The technique will be based on a seminal discovery in multivariate regression analysis that promises to yield dramatic increases in failure forecasting accuracy. Failure probabilities, rather than being estimated on the basis of one or two basic variables, such as the total number of flight hours, wi ...

A six-month program in proposed to design and fabricate micropower, absolute pressure sensors micromachined from single-crystal silicon. The sensor utilizes a now capacitive sensing structure developed for micromachined micrometers, seismometers, and differential pressure sensors. The sensor will be housed in a package having a full form, fit, and function compatibility with existing Navy underwa ...

InfoTech proposes to develop schemas and an overall design for the FPAC, CSS, C/CLAM, FOTDT, C/SCAPE, EMA/WS, and Ship Specification systems and the CAD 2 Combat System Equipment Macro Libraries. The schemas will be implementable in an Object Oriented Database Management System (OODBMS), and will be developed using Rumbaugh's Object Modeling Technique (OMT). It is noted that many NAVSEA systems ...
