Phase I year
1994
Phase I Amount
$99,767
This program develops multi-spectral concepts for air induction system, effluent ducts and exhaust systems for diesel powered ships and turbine powered ships. The preliminary designs consider signature, weight, cost, and environmental impacts on the retrofit of existing ships with these systems. Specimen panels are tested to determine acoustic, thermal, visual and radar performance. Data from specimen tests are included in preliminary design analyses. Concepts are presented at a Preliminary Design Review with implementation of a full scale proof of concept demonstrator and a full scale hot flow test of the exhaust system.

Phase II

Contract Number: N00167-95-C-0124
Start Date: 9/22/1995    Completed: 9/22/1997
Phase II year
1995
Phase II Amount

This program proves the validity of a multi-spectral exhaust system concept for surface ships. The preliminary designs considering signature, weight, cost, and environmental impacts on the retrofit of existing ships with these systems were developed in Phase I. Specimen panels were tested to determine acoustic, thermal, visual, and radar performance. Phase II will: Provide a detail design of a concept for the LMU 1500; Modify the hot test facility at the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division, Annapolis, MD to simulate the flow conditions of the LMU 1500; Fabricate a full scale two duct segment of the design; Fabricate an evaluation suppressor for the LMU 1500 and support its installation for Naval Evaluation on a Navy Research Vessel.
