-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Capsizing of small vessels, such as commercial fishing vessels, is a frequent event. This phenomenon is generally associated with the combined action of storm seas, inadequate design parameter regulations, and dangerous ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)High contact density environments are becoming ubiquitous in autonomous marine vehicle (AMV) operations. Safely managing these environments and their mission greatly taxes platforms. AMV collisions will likely increase as ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1987)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Over the last several decades, there has been a dramatic increase in the complexity and power requirements of radars and other combat systems equipment aboard naval combatants and this trend is expected to continue for the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)This thesis utilizes concepts taken from the NAVSEA Design Practices and Criteria Manualfor Surface Ship Freshwater Systems and other references to create a Cooling System Design Tool (CSDT). With the development of new ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Autonomous platforms and systems are becoming ever more prevalent. They have become smaller, cheaper, have longer duration times, and now more than ever, more capable of processing large amounts of information. Despite ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)The US Navy has identified a need for an autonomous, persistent, forward deployed system to Detect, Classify, and Locate submarines. In this context, we investigate a novel method for multiple sensor platforms acting ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)As the sophistication and technology of ships increases, U.S. Navy shipbuilding must be an effective and cost-efficient acquirer of technology-dense one-of-a-kind ships all while meeting significant cost and schedule ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1980)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)The MIT end to end electric ship model is being developed to study competing electric ship designs. This project produced a model of a Power Conversion Module (PCM)- 4, DC-to-DC converter which interfaces with the MIT ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Recent advances in small-scale portable computing have lead to an explosion in swarming as a viable method to approach large-scale data problems in the commercial, scientific, and defense sectors. This increased attention ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Contracting for US Navy ship procurement is complex due several factors such as budgetary and political concerns, sole or near sole source environments, and long lead-time construction. In the current climate of shrinking ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)This thesis presents the preliminary design and assessment of Wavecutter, an innovative super high speed, hybrid hydrofoil/SWATH crew boat. The intended mission of the vessel is the very-fast transportation of crew and ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Improvement of the propulsive efficiency of ships has always been one of the main objectives for naval architects and marine engineers. Contra-Rotating propellers (CRP) are propulsor configurations offering higher efficiency ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Over the next 5 years, MIT Sea Grant is tasked with locating and photographing Didemnum Vexillum, an invasive species which threatens New England fishing habitats. Didemnum research is conducted in the photosynthesis zone ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)Traditional propellers operate fully submerged, with cavitation limited as much as possible in order to minimize its disruptive and damaging consequences. Conversely, supercavitating propellers operate in an encompassing ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)U.S. Navy ships have non-rotating radar and electronic warfare devices installed, which are often supported and trained by two-axis gimbals. In current shipboard solutions the payloads are often placed on a platform above ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)OpenProp is an open source propeller and turbine design and analysis code that has been in development since 2007 by MIT graduate students under the supervision of Professor Richard Kimball. In order to test the performance ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)The US Navy implements structural preventative maintenance procedures onboard its vessels using ship's personnel inspection. These procedures have been largely successful in identifying major problem areas before any ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Hydrodynamic flow visualization techniques of scaled hull forms and propellers are typically limited to isolating certain operating conditions in a tow tank, circulation tunnel, or large maneuvering basin. Although cost ...
