 | | (U) This program responds to the Joint Strike JMA through research leading to better structural materials to increase platform survivability; automated target recognition algorithms to improve identification of friend or foe (IFF), and to help improve real-time targeting under camouflage conditions; and physics and chemistry foundations for improved multispectral, all-weather sensors and electronics. |
 | | (U) Program response to affordability requirements includes research on condition based maintenance, embedded training, manufacturing science, antifouling coatings, advanced materials and coatings, biosensors, and electro-optical and multifunctional electronic devices and concepts that promise to greatly simplify future undersea surveillance arrays and radar systems while reducing life cycle cost. |
 | | (U) ($129,938) Ocean Sciences will respond to Forward Engagement/Deterrence, Joint Littoral and Intelligence/Surveillance/Reconnaissance JMAs by advanced studies of littoral internal waves, shoaling surface waves, and benthic processes, and by exploring concepts and techniques for autonomous ocean sampling from unmanned platforms for improved undersea surveillance, mine detection, and countermeasures. |
