Phase I

Contract Number: N68335-16-C-0207
Start Date: 4/28/2016    Completed: 8/14/2017
Phase I year
2016
Phase I Amount
$149,460
BH Technology proposes a Form, Fit, and Function end-to-end upgrade replacement to the current DESI system. Our system uses novel technology and updated enhancements that eliminate current system obsolescence, end of life, and performance issues while reducing total cost of ownership of the system over its expected lifetime. The proposed technology, components, and designs used in our proposed DESI system are leveraged from current NAVY qualified sensor systems used on aircraft carrier elevators so that first pass qualification testing of the DESI system has a very high probability of success.

Benefit:
Although the DESI system is highly specific to steam catapult aircraft launch systems, the individual components that make up the system can be extracted as stand alone products for both military and commercial use. These products include sensors that work in harsh environments, touch screen operational systems, and upgraded system peripherals that find applications ranging from oil and gas exploration to aircraft maintenance to robust transportation and material handling system.

Keywords:
form fit and function, form fit and function, Proximity sensors, Sensors, catapult sensors, ruggedized systems, launch sensors, digital end speed sensors
