In order to meet Navy’s need, ChromoLogic LLC (CL) proposes to develop a Membrane Contactor based CO2 Absorbing Module (MC-CAM) to timely remove CO2 maintain CO2 concentration of CCR in a safe range (

Emergingdx Inc in collaboration with academic and industry partners will design and develop a novel rebreather. The new design will (i) provide oxygen and/or eliminate CO2 at a rate to match metabolic rates of an active diver in missions lasting up to 10 hours (ii) be modular so that it can be easily disassembled, cleaned, disinfected, and dried, (iii) have similar or smaller formfactor than curr ...

Rebreathers are scuba gear that allow the diver to breath underwater without producing bubbles. They have many benefits including light-weight, reduced risk of decompression (lack of nitrogen in the system allows the divers to stay submerged longer) and stealth (since they produce no bubbles, they don’t reveal the diver’s location).  In this closed-circuit operation, the CO2 is removed from t ...

Mainstream Engineering will demonstrate continuous, reliable long-term active removal of CO2 without any appreciable heat generation, addressing issues of limited-capacity adsorbent scrubber materials. Breath monitoring micro-sensors incorporated into the rebreather will feedback information to a microcontroller that regulates and balances closed circuit rebreather (CCR) components, providing a sy ...

In this Phase I project, Oceanit will design a self-healing computing system for use on Navy vessels to keep a ship's primary functions operational in combat should the original computing system be damaged during an attack.

Candent Technologies is proposing to continue the development of its Phase I design of an advanced technology, electric driven air compressor for an aircraft Active Flow Control (AFC) system.  The Candent Team, utilizing its extensive turbomachinery design and development experience, along with their Academic partner, who used their expertise and state of the art technology to design the electric ...

Advancements in electronic warfare driven by sophisticated sensors and weapons are pushing shipboard power distribution systems to higher voltage, more power dense solutions. Reduced cost and increased flexibility necessitate solutions that are rapidly scalable and are characterized by longer life and lower maintenance. These objectives are in conflict, as increased power density reduces life and ...

Rising demand for electrified equipment in next-gen naval systems is increasing the pressure on power systems to achieve high power densities. To improve modularity, scalability, and size, weight, and power (SWaP), the Office of Naval Research (ONR) has pursued the development of Power Electronic Building Blocks (PEBBs) for over 25 years. ONR is currently attempting to develop SiC-based DC-DC powe ...

Intelligent information dissemination will be a critical weapon in future warfare, since it will enable warfighters to reduce sensor-to-shooter information delivery time, quickening the “kill chain” execution as a result. The future combat cloud mesh network must be agile and able to adapt to dynamic information delivery methods, formats, sources, languages and media to ensure tight coordinati ...

Global Engineering and Materials, Inc. (GEM), along with its team members, Professor Jinhui Yan at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), National Institute for Aviation Research (NIAR) at Wichita State University, Professor Dianyun Zhang at Composite Manufacturing and Simulation Center at Purdue University (PU), and Professor Yuri Bazilevs at Brown University, proposes to develop an inte ...
