Shock Hardened Timer Base Integrated Circuit

Not Available This Phase I SBIR proposal is for the develop and test an optical/electronic rotary joint for Naval undersea towed array applications. The proposed concept employs a spiral wound fiber optic ribbon cable to achieve high optical transmission and low signal modulation in a rotary joint having a limited number of turns in a predetermined direction. The optimum configuration, brassboard design, fabrication, and integration of a rotary electronic joint capability will be addressed in the Phase I effort. The Phase I effort also includes laboratory performance testing of the optical, electronic, and mechanical characteristics. An Option to Phase I is also proposed for the preliminary design of the optical, electronic, mechanical interfaces for the towed array.
