Minimized Space, Weight and Power Network Architecture Solution Navy SBIR FY2015.1 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2015.1 Topic No.: N151-015 Topic Title: Minimized Space, Weight and Power Network Architecture Solution Proposal No.: N151-015-1084 Firm: Fuse Integration, Inc. 3434 Midway #2002 San Diego, California 92110 Contact: Sumner Lee Phone: (619) 925-0154 Web Site: www.fuseintegration.com Abstract: The objective of the Fuse approach to this SBIR is to develop and deliver a minimized SWaP networking architecture that provides an immediate solution to NAVAIR platform integration challenges while also laying out a roadmap for future development and progression that keeps aircraft platforms ahead of changes and challenges in the environment of communications, networking and cyber security. The Fuse Phase I will not just answer questions with feasibility analysis, but deliver workable physical and software solutions that can be rapidly transitioned into Navy platforms at the direction of NAVAIR and/or other program offices. Benefits: There exists a significant need for networking solutions with a decreased SWaP footprint in multiple industries. Naval aviation requirements for the solution defined by this project reach across multiple aircraft and unmanned vehicles. To ensure successful transition to the fleet, Fuse has targeted multiple program offices. Continued alignment with NAVAIR and the opportunity to transition Fuse solutions across the submarine, surface, and aviation enterprises will be a central theme for this project to ensure a strong transition path. The market need for networking continues to grow, and the solutions outlined here will be immediately extensible beyond just aircraft, and even beyond the military into commercial spaces. Commercial users in multiple industries have a need for advanced networking connectivity. Surveillance systems for security, police and first responders, boat and vessel manufacturers, building, and vehicle manufacturers all work to integrate complex networks into their designs. IP networks, connected through cellular connections, satellite connections, and other links, reach out to so many commercial products that this technology could prove to be useful well beyond military application.
