The goal of this project is to develop a modular dock system thatis both commercially viable and militarily useful. The militaryrequirements will be established by the JMLS Program. The designemphasis will be on maximizing the degree of standard componentsand subsystems, and thereby minimizing the… More

In consideration of the operational requirements of the US Navy VSW/MCM forces to transport marine mammals, this investigation evaluates alternative hullform and innovative technologies to reduce shock transmission to occupants and mammals. Specifically,this investigation evaluates and compares the… More

Electrical system design requires several studies and calculations be conducted to verify proper operation of the system and specification of equipment. This includes fault current calculations, load analysis, motor starting analysis, harmonic analysis, generator response studies, electro-magnetic… More

It has been well documented that the Navy's Seabasing vision for staging bases near the theater of operations calls for an extension of the distance offshore from the current two to five miles to one hundred to two hundred miles. Although the distances will be greater, response times and… More

The topic stated objective is the development of innovative approaches to provide in-situ hull form augmentations to the existing ships and craft to allow for increased speed without a significant reduction in payload capacity. The proposed project will accomplish this by implementing an innovative… More

Tests conducted during Phase I of this SBIR project demonstrated that the Stolkraft hull form showed promise for motion reduction, which may result in less injurious effects on high speed craft occupants. However, side-by-side tests were not conducted during Phase I with a similar capacity and… More

The goal of this project is to provide a tool for developing an accurate model of the shipboard electrical installation and transitioning the design information to production requirements. The SEA-Pro project integrates existing affordable COTS software packages, [specifically ShipConstructor ship… More

The Art Anderson Associates team will develop a Portable Autonomous TEU Transfer System (PATTS), which will be used in conjunction with a Container carrying USV (CSV), to enable the autonomous movement of containers from ship to shore.

The CONREP Crane telescopes out from a side access on the military guide ship and reaches out and rests on the flight deck of the approach ship. This allows the cargo weight to be shared between the two vessels. This also virtually eliminates the relative height changes of the crane over the… More

The project team will leverage innovations currently under development to provide a multi-purpose Riverine Stolkraft outfitted with a Distributed Control System (DCS) to meet the future Riverine Force requirements. The Riverine Stolkraft will be capable of performing all of the Riverine Command and… More

A connector design will be developed and tested that enables the connecting together of three trimarans in tandem.

The JHSV will reach speeds of 35+ knots and allow for the rapid transit and deployment of conventional or Special Operations Forces (SOF) as well as equipment and supplies. It is planned for an FY10 IOC. One of program's objectives is to reduce the Reception, Staging, Onward movement and… More

The longstanding tradition of using lines to moor ships to docks is inherently labor intensive and hazardous. Synthetic line snapback, limbs caught in rigging, as well as failed deck fitting projectiles, have maimed and killed many shipboard and dockside personnel over the years. Likewise, the… More

The proposed Mobile Port concept, consists primarily of a modular and rapidly deployable Floodable Jetty dissipate the required Pierson-Moskowitz Sea State 5 (SS5) energy, without any additional stabilizing anchors. Within the Jetty's lee, the Lightweight Modular Causeway System (LMCS) that has been… More

The Lightweight High-Speed Amphibious Vehicle SBIR topic seeks to explore innovative concept designs and associated enabling technologies applicable to replacing the existing 5 ston Lighter, Amphibious Supply, Cargo"LARC V". However, there are a multitude of different organizations with… More

It is no longer sufficient to design and build single mission vessels, large or small. In today"s world, vessels need to be multi-functional and adaptable to changing world conditions and scenarios. Art Anderson Associates has developed a concept design for a multi-mission capable, amphibious… More
