NIUVT-Accelerating Innovation in Undersea Vehicle Technology
Abstract
University of Connecticut will conduct research in four major areas of the undersea environment to include concept development and Innovation, applied research, technology transition, industry engagement, and workforce development. This grant will leverage faculty and graduate student to research the undersea environment including Oceanography, acoustics, and ocean engineering. This research will include multiple topics that are naval relevant. NIUVT has selected five (5) Comprehensive (COMP) research projects and six (6) seed (SEED) projects to be funded in this proposal. NIUVT will work closely with NUWC to align the applied research and advanced technology development of the NIUVT with naval priorities, and assist in the transition of mature technologies into naval acquisition programs. NIUVT will also work closely with Electric Boat to ensure projects conducted as part of the NIUVT transition to enhance IR&D and concept formulation studies conducted at Electric Boat.
