Triton Systems, Inc propose to modernize and improve the efficiency of the MK39 Expendable Mobile Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) Training Target (EMATT) motor. Endurance, speed, acoustic noise, and cost are system level goals for a propulsion system that will be supported by this motor development effort. Triton proposes an innovative motor configuration and design that allows for a wider efficient operating range, which is necessary for EMATT which has a wide speed range and varying amounts of drag. Modern motor technology, including PCB stator motors, provides a high performance starting point in space, weight, and noise.
Benefit: Tritons motor will support system level goals for an underwater vehicle propulsion system such as endurance, speed, acoustic noise, and cost. This motor technology will be scalable and adaptable to other vehicle sizes using the tools from this effort. Commercial, academic, and military underwater vehicles are all potential users of this technology.
