Aircraft Survivability Re-routing Navy SBIR FY2006.2 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2006.2 Topic No.: N06-115 Topic Title: Aircraft Survivability Re-routing Proposal No.: N062-115-0082 Firm: BONN Corporation 1350 E. Flamingo Road, #479 Las Vegas, Nevada 89119-5263 Contact: David Bonnesar Phone: (702) 735-5651 Web Site: www.BONNCorporation.com Abstract: In this SBIR, BONN Corporation will design, develop and demonstrate a prototype algorithm that will compute, in near real-time, the maximum safe-fly altitudes (above ground level [AGL]), throughout an entire area of interest, in which an air vehicle is undetected by all threats (static or dynamic) in the order of battle. The algorithm will account for the radar and infrared signature of any air vehicle platform and will be capable of running on existing computer hardware (i.e., current onboard mission computer systems). This safe-fly altitude solution can then be fed into a real-time aircraft re-routing tool to provide a safe corridor and haven away from mobile and pop-up threats. This would greatly enhance the survivability and successful completion of combat search and rescue operations. In general, the research and technologies that this SBIR will fund will be a firm foundation for improvement to the efficiency, effectiveness, and survivability of low altitude operations (e.g., helicopters, UAVs, rotorcraft, C-130s, V-22 Ospreys, etc.) in complex battlespaces. Benefits: The algorithm developed as a result of the proposed effort has excellent potential for use by the ground mission planning community (e.g., JMPS, PFPS/Falcon View, TCS, etc.). At the completion of Phase II, the near real-time algorithm technology is directly applicable to NAVAIR, Army Aviation, and United States Special Operations Command low altitude assets. Systems such as DCGS-N and TBMCS can use the technology developed in this SBIR with the provision of decision making tools for low altitude vehicle missions such as penetration determination of an area of interest (AOI) with a given order of battle, and determining safe entry/exit locations within the AOI.
