8 open or upcoming topics mention maritime & undersea, across 2 agencies. Matched by keywords in the topic title and description.
Bio-inspired Underwater Teams
Bio-inspired underwater vehicles have nearly matched the speeds and efficiencies of real fish.
DIRECT TO PHASE II: Minimally Invasive Remote Blood Collection Device for Free-Ranging Cetaceans
Navy bottlenose dolphins are valuable Fleet assets whose health and well-being are essential to sustaining mine countermeasures, port security, and object recovery missions.
Monolithic Graphene–CMOS Broadband (UV-LWIR) Focal Plane Arrays for target detection in low-light conditions
The Navy continues to field multiple seeker technologies to detect, identify and engage targets in multi-domain operations through obscurants. However, you cannot detect something you cannot see.
Cleaner for the Time Domain Reflectometer Tank Level Indicator
Fouling on the TDR sensor used for TLI is a persistent problem. The TDR is necessary to provide accurate and precise readings for fuel measurement.
Fire Resistant Joiner Bulkhead
Fire represents a grave hazard to Navy vessels.
Input-Output Unit (IOU) for Secure Processing and Routing of Hull, Mechanical, & Electrical (HM&E) and Navigation Signals
IOUs are used on all Navy DDG 51 class ships to transfer Steering Control, Machinery Control, and Damage Control signals, as well as Interior Communication Alarm and Indication, Synchro and Digital Navigation data.
Intermediate Temperature Cooling Unit
Navy ships have a chilled water system that runs throughout the ship providing cooling to electronic equipment.
Underground or Underwater Robotics for Low-Visibility, Poor-Connectivity or Hidden Topography
