The next generation of Multifunctional Information Distribution System (MIDS) radio terminals are currently under development and the Navy is in need of improved thermal management to enable the current state of the art signal processing capabilities within the currently deployed fleet environment. Roccor proposed to leverage its FlexCoolTM technology in partnership with ViaSat to design, develop ...

The Multifunctional Information Distribution System (MIDS) Joint Tactical Radio (JTRS) is a four-channel, software-programmable radio having up to eight Shop Replaceable Units (SRUs) that determine the functionality of the unit. The SRUs consist of electronics cards mounted in a sealed structure and secured in the chassis using standard wedge locks. Currently, the available heat rejection from the ...

For MIDS JTRS designers who face increasing heat loads with existing thermal designs that limit system performance, the LoadPath Advanced Solutions to Enable Next-generation Terminals (ASENT) is a conjugate thermal solution that enables simple integration of a collection of advanced thermal enhancements to overcome this challenge. Unlike traditional designs that rely on standard thermal technologi ...

This project will modify GFE (delivered under contract N68335-15-C-0102, to be returned to Fibertek), test the modified system, and deliver an advanced blue solid-state laser transmitter based on frequency doubling of a diode pumped near infrared laser. The technical approach utilizes a novel gain module design which maximizes pump efficiency while minimizing temperature rise and thermally induced ...

The overall objective of the proposed effort is to more fully develop a solid rocket motor case based on aluminum metal matrix composites (Al MMC) that will maintain or increase the performance of Navy rocket motors and improve compliance with insensitive munitions (IM) requirements. Touchstone Research Laboratory will use a modified filament winding process for producing Al MMC cases for technolo ...

Modeling and simulation play a critical role in the design and evaluation of high power microwave (HPM) devices. However, many of the most recent simulation methods have yet to be adopted by Navy scientists in their design process, in part because these methods need additional improvements and need to be shown to work on problems of interest to the Navy. Improvements to Magneto-hydrodynamics (MHD) ...

This SBIR Phase II proposal for a Common Embedded Vehicle Network Diagnostics Interface Hardware (CEVNDIH) for an IEEE-1394 based AS5643 network implementation is focused on IEEE-1394 PHY, Link and Open Host Controller (OHCI) optimizations, diagnostics and enhancements. The resulting implementation is designed; a) to create improvements to help maintenance personnel isolate subsystem, wiring, or c ...

Ferrium M54 is an ultrahigh-strength, high, toughness steel with high resistance to grinding burn damage, and stress corrosion cracking, which provides many technical and commercial benefits for use in the F-18 E/F/G hook point application over the incumbent 4330V steel. The technical advantages for risk mitigation, while extending the component life at approximately the same cost makes for a good ...

The United States Navy has identified a need for a tool to assist the training of Landing SignalOfficers (LSOs) that provides visualization and analysis of data from embarked carrier landings.BGI, LLC (BGI) has proposed a solution for training LSOs by leveraging the existing CarrierVisualization After-Action Review (AAR) product to create a Landing Signal Officer-DataAnalysis Toolkit (LSO-DAT) tha ...

Development of nanolayer polymer films demonstrated a new class of dielectric film materials for high energy density and high temperature capacitor applications. Current state-of-the-art biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) dielectric films are limited by low dielectric constant (e = 2.25), low energy density and deteriorated high temperature performance. In contrast, multilayer film technology ...
