Follow on Google News | Makai Awarded Small Business Grant for Deep-Drifting SonobuoysMakai competed for and won the Navy SBIR Phase 1 grant [Topic number: N142-117] to analyze the sonobuoy survivability under extreme ocean conditions, analyze dispersion of buoys due to ocean currents, identify suitable tether components, and perform parametric analyses of the new sonobuoy system. The ultimate goal of the project is to identify a configuration for a survivable, deep, drifting, persistent sonobuoy system that fits in the existing A-size form factor. Work on Phase 1 will be completed in mid-2015, when the project will be reviewed for a potential Phase 1 Option and/or a Phase 2 continuation of the project.
