The operational commitments required of today's Navy as well as the goal to streamline material resources have made it necessary to increase maintenance quality while reducing time spent in its performance. Novel methods are being employed to reduce cost, time, and improve the mission readiness of military aircraft. Commonly, repairs made to the fiber optic networks on Navy aircraft at sea, require for optical cable to be spliced. The ability to mechanically restore the spliced section of cable back to its original specifications will reduce future maintenance costs while improving mission readiness. Luna Innovations is proposing to develop and manufacture low cost, transparent cable restoration devices and tooling that will fully restore the mechanical properties of the cabling after the splicing has been preformed on the optical network. During the first phase of this three phase development program, Luna will design, model, manufacture and test prototype devices to prove design and material feasibility. The Phase II effort will consist of design optimization, extreme environmental testing, and a sound plan for transition to large scale manufacturing. This project will result in a device and its necessary tooling that will meet the needs of the Navy for optical and electrical cable restoration.
