NIUVT 2021 - Targeted Projects Accelerating Technology Innovation for Current and Future Undersea Ve
Abstract
The National Institute for Undersea Vehicle Technology (NIUVT) continues to accelerate the advancement of undersea technology import,ant to national defense and economic development. This proposed funding will allow NIUVT to pursue applied research to effectively m,eet current and future needs of the Navy. Consistent with the Navys strategy, the NIUVT mission is to conduct applied research to a,ccelerate the development and transition of enabling technologies to advance and streamline the design and manufacturing of the next,-generation U.S. undersea fleet. The requested funding will address the urgency and importance of injecting advanced technologies in,to new designs/blocks by continuing to support and aggressively expanding applied research in undersea vehicle technologies. To effi,ciently allocate resources and accelerate advances in undersea vehicle innovation and technology, short-term high-impact applied res,earch projects will be conducted. The proposed work will be conducted in the following areas directly related to undersea vehicles:,Evaluation of Shock Mitigation Using Bubble Screens and Deep-Sea Structural Failures; Re-Envisioning Optimal Structural Design Using, Feedback Control Theory; and Smart Materials and Structures Testbed. The undersea vehicle research will provide solutions and explo,re opportunities to accelerate innovation in the undersea research and development enterprise.
