What the grant funds
Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division is interested in receiving proposals for the following Basic Research Opportunity Areas: 1. College - University Student and Faculty Research Projects NSWCCD is interested in receiving proposals directed toward student or faculty general research projects where the focus is upon technologies and capabilities outlined in the Doing Business with Carderock website: https://www.navsea.navy.mil/Home/Warfare-Centers/NSWC-Carderock/Business/ under the Partnering with Carderock tab. NSWCCD is especially, but not solely, interested in research projects dealing with Machine Learning, Data Analytics & Modeling, Data Visualizations, Cyber Security, Complex Systems & Organizational Dynamics, Operations Analysis and Military Utility/Impact Analysis, Knowledge Management & Retention, and Web Presence with Tool Implementation strategies (both for Business Operations and Technical applications). With the latest advances in machine learning and artificial intelligence, NSWCCD desires to begin to see how these advances may impact our activities, especially in relation to laboratory & range data acquisition & transmission, upgrades to our business operations & efficiency, and enhancing our internal communications capabilities by improving efficiency, as well as user experience. The goal of these research projects is to develop and implement innovative tools that will revolutionize our operations thus making us a more secure, efficient and preferred supplier to our stakeholders. 2. College - University Student Capstone and Senior Research Projects NSWCCD seeks proposals for novel research projects whose intent is the development of future naval scientists and engineers. NSWCCD is especially interested in technical projects dealing with Hydrodynamics (specifically the interaction of fluid flow over rough or bio-fouled surfaces), Unmanned Vehicle Dynamics & Control, tool development for Automated Ship Design, Extreme Environment Materials Development (e.g. Ultra-high Temperature Erosion & Corrosion), Automated & Advanced Materials Processing and Characterization (including Modeling & Simulation), and Structural Health Monitoring. Other technology areas will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. More specific details of various areas of interest can be found at the Doing Business with Carderock website: https://www.navsea.navy.mil/Home/Warfare-Centers/NSWC-Carderock/Business/ under the Partnering with Carderock tab.
