Single Crystal Acoustic Vector Projector Technology Navy SBIR FY2010.2 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2010.2 Topic No.: N102-181 Topic Title: Single Crystal Acoustic Vector Projector Technology Proposal No.: N102-181-1300 Firm: TRS Ceramics, Inc. 2820 East College Avenue State College, Pennsylvania 16801 Contact: Kevin Snook Phone: (814) 238-7485 Web Site: www.trstechnologies.com Abstract: TRS Technologies proposes to develop high duty cycle, compact single crystal transducers for vector projectors. TRS will work with Penn State ARL in evaluating new single crystal compositions for high temperature and drive, as well as evaluate passive materials used in transducer construction under thermal cycling. Modeling will be used to evaluate three different transducer designs to establish trade-offs between designs. An initial design will be chosen and two designs will be built in the Option to corroborate models for going forward in Phase II. Benefits: Direct benefits from the program are a better understanding of single crystal and various transducer designs. High power, compact transducers are applicable to many platforms including UUV, submarine, minehunting and torpedo defense. These can also be used in high power commercial applications such as undersea cable detection or Homeland Security. Return
