Thermobarics Affordable Weapon REMUS Thermobaric fills, developed at NSWC Indian Head, were used operationally against Taliban and al-Qaeda targets in Gardez, Afghanistan, during March The picture at top left shows a DTRA test of a BLU-118B in Nevada during the run-up to Operation Enduring Freedom; the picture to its right is a BLU-118B at Indian Head. Thermobarics are also being adapted to the Hellfire missile and the LAWS rocket; a related product is a man-portable, high-performance cutting tool (lower left). ONR has pursued the basic chemistry behind thermobarics since shortly after the USS Forrestal fire in 1967. The Affordable Weapon—a low-cost, loitering weapon fabricated largely from COTS parts—has entered limited service in Operation Iraqi Freedom. It comes from the Time Critical Strike Future Naval Capability. REMUS (also SAHRV) is an autonomous underwater vehicle developed in the Organic Mine Countermeasures Future Naval Capability. It has entered service as an alternative to the marine mammals hitherto used for very shallow water mine hunting, and was used to clear the port of Um Qasr during Operation Iraqi Freedom. …for Sailors and Marines 9/17/2018

Naval Research: An Enduring and Evolving Mission
Josephus Daniels Thomas Edison Naval Research Laboratory (Appropriations Act, 1916): “[Conduct] exploratory and research work … necessary… for the benefit of Government service, including the construction, equipment, and operation of a laboratory….” Office of Naval Research (Public Law 588, 1946): “… plan, foster, and encourage scientific research in recognition of its paramount importance as related to the maintenance of future naval power, and the preservation of national security.… ” Vannevar Bush Harry S Truman Naval science and technology, as a formal, permanent program, dates to the First World War. In 1916 Thomas Edison convinced Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels that the Navy needed a research laboratory if it was to successfully prosecute the war America was likely to enter. Daniels agreed and secured the establishment of the Naval Research Laboratory. In 1945, Vannevar Bush persuaded President Harry S Truman to set up a permanent federal agency that would continue to sponsor research in universities, industry, and elsewhere along the lines that had been so successful during the Second World War. In 1946 Truman signed legislation establishing the Office of Naval Research—the first permanent federal agency whose mission it was to sponsor scientific work. Transitioning science and technology to operational uses has always been the goal of Naval research, and this goal has received explicit endorsement in subsequent legislation. Transitioning S&T (Defense Authorization Act, 2001): “…manage the Navy’s basic, applied, and advanced research to foster transition from science and technology to higher levels of research, development, test, and evaluation.” 9/17/2018

Integrated, Use-Inspired Research
Basic Research (6.1) Applied Research (6.2) Advanced Technology Development (6.3) Development ( ) Science & Technology Research, Development, Test, & Evaluation Advanced Technology Development—REMUS AUV Basic Research—Shoaling Waves Experiment [Pictures show, from right to left, examples of 6.1 (SHOWEX--the Shoaling Waves Experiment led by University of Miami off the Carolina cost, studying basic phenomena in turbulent flow, including the interaction of waves with the ocean bottom), 6.2 (output of a wave height prediction model done by the Naval Research Laboratory exploiting some of SHOWEX’s results), and 6.3 (a REMUS autonomous underwater vehicle made at Woods Hole, initially for ocean sampling and now being adapted for mine countermeasures—REMUS became operational last year, and was used during Operation Iraqi Freedom to clear the port of Um Qasr).] The Department of the Navy’s science and technology program is not only balanced, but it’s integrated as well. Basic research explores fundamental natural properties and processes, applied research explores ways of manipulating or using those phenomena, and advanced technology development devises technologies to exploit them. These three kinds of research, when integrated, form a great feedback loop. Our program officers--the scientists and engineers who actually invest our funds--all manage all three categories of work. We’ve found that this gives them a useful perspective on the whole spectrum of Naval science and technology.

Basic Research Payoff – Wide Bandgap Semiconductor Materials
Microwave receivers Military aircraft radars Military RF detectors Cell phones Multicolored displays Power switching devices … sapphire SiC substrate SiN Passivation; Advanced Epi Best GaAs Best SiC 5 10 15 20 25 30 X-band power density 1/96 1/98 1/00 1/04 1/02 GaN power density ONR’s involvement with these materials dates to the 1950s. From 1970 to 1982, ONR was the only government agency investing in wide bandgap materials (other agencies had grown discouraged). The crucial breakthrough in GaAs was made at NRL with ONR funding in 1974—the ability to grow usable GaAs crystals enabled the entire cell phone industry. Here are some applications of wide bandgap materials: Gallium Arsenide (GaAs): virtually all microwave receivers in use today, military communications and radars, military infrared detectors, fiber optic cable receivers and transmitters, cell phones, aircraft radars, and (soon) shipboard radars. Gallium Nitride (GaN): multicolored displays (green and blue), white lights (possible replacements for both incandescent and fluorescent bulbs—GaN light emitting diodes (LEDs) achieve efficiencies of up to 29%, as opposed to 12% for conventional fluorescent and 4% for incandescent bulbs), and, possibly, radars for theater ballistic missile defense. As a result of their very high dynamic range capabilities, GaN amplifiers are also advantageous for use in multifunctional electromagnetic systems. Finally, because of their very robust nature and high dynamic range, they appear to be ideally suited for microwave receivers requiring immunity to large electromagnetic pulses. They also will almost certainly be employed in 3rd generation cell phone base stations. GaAlN will also have applications in solar blind detector work. Silicon Carbide (SiC): power switching devices (snubber diodes in Power Electronic Building Blocks (PEBB) are becoming SiC devices; eventually so will the switching transistors), solar blind ultraviolet detectors, substrates for GaN devices, and probably eventually radars for theater ballistic missile defense.

Autonomous Undersea Vehicles: Robots do the dangerous work
Tactically Adaptable Crawlers Magnetic Sensors CCD Camera Long Base Line Battlespace Preparation AUV Recon/minehunting Long endurance (17hrs) -Klein 5400 Sidescan Sonar - GPS/INS - CAD/CAC Deployable, affordable, adaptable systems find mines REMUS is deployed operationally by Naval Special Clearing Team 1 (NSCT-1), where it is replacing marine mammals. NSCT-1 used REMUS to clear Um Qasr—the principal Iraqi port. REMUS certified that channels were mine-free; only then were transports brought in.) The operators particularly like its ease of shipment (Chris Von Alt of Woods Hole/Hydroid designed it to be shipped by Fedex) and its ease of preparation (there’s no need to check water quality, install pens, etc., which one must do before deploying marine mammals). It took them less than 2 hours to take REMUS off the aircraft that delivered it, program it, and put it in the water for a mission. Normally it takes about 3-5 days to get a marine mammal working. The Tactically Adaptable Crawlers have been used in Afghanistan for clearing caves. (They were developed for reconnaissance and minehunting from the surf zone through the beach.) The gliders (which exist in variants produced by Webb Research—shown in the picture—the University of Washington, and Scripps, are oceanographic research tools with a trans-oceanic range and an endurance measured in months. They are now being adapted for persistent surveillance of the deep ocean basins. (Gliders with auxiliary power are being adapted for littoral surveillance.) The Battlespace Preparation Autonomous Vehicle (BPAUV) is a longer endurance counterpart to REMUS, intended for operation is somewhat deeper water. BPAUV has participated successfully in numerous Fleet Battle Experiments and is expected to enter operational service this year.

Thermobarics Delivered in < 6 months
Gardez, Afghanistan—cave complexes struck 3 Mar 02 DTRA tests BLU 118B, 14 Dec 01 Accidents show part of the motivation: you want propellants to burn reliably and explosives to detonate violently, but only at the right place and the right time. On 29 July 1967, a Zuni rocket loaded aboard an A-4 Skyhawk on USS Forrestal’s flight deck cooked off and struck the aircraft to its front (whose pilot was the future Senator McCain) died in the fires and explosions. USS Enterprise and USS Nimitz later suffered similar accidents. ONR’s program in synthetic organic chemistry addressed basic problems underlying the accidents. Energetic materials (propellants and explosives) must meet conflicting performance demands: They must release large amounts of energy rapidly and reliably They must be safe to handle--they must resist mechanical shock, high temperatures, etc. They must be safe to store for 20 years or more Energetic materials are difficult to characterize. Most of the work had been empirical—even Edisonian—trial and error. This means that developing new explosives and propellants with desirable characteristics has been slow, expensive, and suboptimal. Explosives are composites, so local effects cannot be ignored, and the chemical reactions are fast. Basic research has been necessary in: energetic crystal structures, combustion mechanisms, and initiation mechanisms. Performers included University of Chicago, University of New Orleans, City University of New York, MIT, Stevens Institute of Technology, Cal Tech, and NSWC Indian Head. Among ONR’s performers in this work was Ahmed Zewail of Cal Tech, whose development of femtochemistry enabled chemists to observe fast reactions as they occur. Zewail’s work earned him the 1999 Nobel Prize for Chemistry. This basic research ultimately transitioned to Naval Surface Warfare Center Indian Head’s work on thermobarics. After 911, OSD called for thermobarics (on 19 Sep). Indian Head’s thermobaric fill was weaponized and tested by DTRA, and used operationally against al Quaeda cave sanctuaries in Gardez, Afghanistan on 3 Mar 02.

Virtual At Sea Training (VAST)
(instead of Vieques) USS O’Bannon trains with VAST VAST is a family of training systems that exploit advances in M&S and VE to give combat units the ability to employ live or constructive fire against simulated targets in synthetic geo-specific terrain to achieve realistic, deployable mission training at any time or place across the IDTC. VAST was deployed to Naval surface fire support ships in the Atlantic Fleet during FY 03. (Pictures show training conducted by destroyer USS O’Bannon.) Meets broad spectrum of Fleet/Force combat training needs via integrated, interoperable set of training/mission rehearsal capabilities. Maintains readiness across entire IDTC via training pierside, in transit, and on-station. Increases affordability of training through cost reductions of up to 50%. Up to 50% savings in combat training costs achieved via Reduced ordnance expenditure (use of constructive rather than live fire) Reduced steaming time: training can occur pierside in constructive mode and near port in live mode Reduced Air time: ASW AirVAST eliminates need for SH-60 and P-3C flights as part of at-sea ASW training Reduced sonobuoy expenditures: ASW AirVAST exploits simulated sonobuoys and sonobuoy data for ASW team training Realistic fire support training no longer needs a range Constructive Air ASW Training in Port 9/17/2018

Digital Precision Strike Suite Strike for special operations
Barrage Round Digital Precision Strike Suite (DPSS) links strike aircraft and special operators Digital Precision Strike Suite made F-14s strike aircraft of choice over Afghanistan & Iraq System improves targeting accuracy and timeliness for Image Guided Bombs (IGB). It automatically mensurates a tactical image by geo-registering its features against a previously stored National image. It has been integrated into a variety of systems including FLIR’s, Target Locators, and other imaging systems. The IGB uses Direct Attack Munition Affordable Seeker (DAMASK) with image templates from either pre-planned missions, an off-board data collection system, or an on-board image-collection system like FCAP. Imagery derives from data collected and processed by the Full Capabilities (FCAP) TARPS-CD tactical reconnaissance system flown on F-14 aircraft. FCAP provides exploitation of high-resolution, wide-area-coverage EO and IR imagery, and target-selection capabilities inside the F-14 cockpit. Within the cockpit, the aircrew selects the target, geolocates the target using national-imagery and terrain databases, generates an edge-enhanced image template of the target, and then transmits the template to the DAMASK seeker. The elapsed time between target identification in the cockpit and the bomb drop will be less than 5 minutes. The major efforts will be in software for real-time generation of the image template, integration of system components into flight-qualified systems, and coordination of assets, e.g., training of air crew. FCAP Pods are available from NRL, DAMASK and dummy bombs are available from NAWC China Lake. F-14 aircraft for flying the FCAP Pod and the DAMASK-guided weapon were available from VX-9, Pt. Mugu CA. This ONR/NRL/NAWC China Lake program was begun in 2000 and delivered products in time for Operation Enduring Freedom. 9/17/2018

Titanium Fabrication Processes for Expeditionary Howitzer
Reduces M mm howitzer weight by 45% Spade M777 spade production began October 2003. Saddle Ongoing project - started May 2003; expected end Nov 2005; total project cost estimated at $2.5M. $45M estimated cost avoidance; ROI = 18:1 The M777 Marine Corps Lightweight Howitzer is the first system to successfully demonstrate the use of titanium for its structural components. Using titanium alloys in place of steel reduces the weight of each gun from 16,000 to 9,000 pounds, resulting in substantial improvements in transport logistics and weapon set up time. Production costs of three components (spade, saddle, and cradle tubes) will be reduced. Lower cost titanium castings will reduce acquisition and total life-cycle costs. Cost avoidance will be achieved through part reduction; less labor intensive, more efficient manufacturing; and a substantial reduction in variability and rework. The estimated acquisition cost avoidance for the planned five year production of 650 howitzers for the Marine Corps and the Army is $27M for the investment cast spade, more than $5M for the investment cast saddle, and $13M for the flow formed cradle tube. Life-cycle costs for selected components will be reduced and improved manufacturing efficiency will have a positive impact on the production schedule. NATO is considering adopting this howitzer as the standard howitzer. Production for NATO will significantly increase the long-term cost avoidance generated by this project. The Program Office and its prime contractor, BAE Systems, will carry out the implementation effort. The targeted insertion date for the spade component is during the Low-Rate Initial Production (LRIP) in October 2003; the saddle and cradle tube will impact the Full Rate Production (FRP) phase with delivery by October Technology transfer opportunities also exist in other DoD programs that depend on low-cost structural titanium alloys for reducing system weight while improving the performance of components (e.g., Future Combat Systems). Cradle Tubes M777 saddle and cradle tubes will enter production October 2004. Saves $45M over 650 unit production run 9/17/2018

Zero Maintenance Materials
Nanostructured coatings with unprecedented damage tolerance & bond strength—now entering service Nanotechnology is here…today Nanostructured coatings with unprecedented damage tolerance & bond strength have been qualified under MIL STD 1687A for a growing number of Fleet applications. Seedling is a totally new coating process based on miniature pulsed rocket motors. It is capable of coating restricted surfaces. The process deposits a nanostructured alumina titania ceramic. This coating has been applied to ship’s propulsion shafts—the first ship so equipped was USS Chief, MCM-14, in November A diver inspection of USS Chief’s shafts in January 2003 indicated no evidence of circumferential scoring, failure, or spalling. The type commander has, on the strengthcoating has been shown to dramatically extend shaft life and time between repairs. Before the new coatings were applied, circumferential scoring of propulsion shafts had required the type commander to drydock each MCM every 18 months for shaft replacement. (The practice was to swap battle spars for old shafts, then send the old shafts back to the shipyard for reconditioning which cost $1M annually across the class. This represents just the cost of replacing and reconditioning the shafts, not the associated costs of dry docking, or the opportunity costs of the ships’ unavailability for operations.) Rutgers, University of Connecticut, Stevens Institute of Technology, SUNY Stony Brook, UC Irvine, Informat (manufactures the powder) A&A (spray company), and NSWC Carderock were the major performers in this program. A totally new coating process based on miniature pulsed rocket motors and capable of coating restricted surfaces—coming soon 9/17/2018

Advanced Corrosion Control
Old tanks look like this after 5 years… …new tanks will look like this after 20 years Traditional coatings in tanks and void spaces have been epoxy-polyamides and epoxy-amines with an average lifespan of 5-7 years. The new coatings—developed by NRL under ONR sponsorship—are single-coat polyurethanes, easily applied , solvent-free, and rapidly curing. Tests aboard the ex-USS Gunston Hall indicate that the new high performance coatings will last for 20 years. Better coatings for ships’ tanks 9/17/2018
