WASHINGTON, 10 May 2009. U.S. Navy submarine technology designers needed software development expertise to develop experimental applications software for real-time military data fusion aboard Virginia-class fast attack submarines and other Navy vessels. The found their solution from 3 Phoenix Inc. in Fairfax, Va.
Scientists at 3 Phoenix are developing advanced military software algorithms and data fusion applications software, and a visualization interface for environmental research data Virginia-class attack submarines and other vessels as part of the Navy's Open Architecture and Network Centric Operations Warfare systems.
Company experts are doing the work under terms of a $10.1 million small business innovative research (SBIR) phase-3 contract awarded on 8 May from Naval Sea Systems Command in Washington. The contract follows Navy SBIR phase-1 and -2 contracts for similar work awarded in 1986 and 1987.
These research contracts involve relatively low-power electronics, advanced algorithm design, and real-time data fusion technologies, as well as commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products, and integration of hardware and military software.
