Develop a concept for an end-to-end design of a redesigned ADC Mk 2 Mod 6 that meets the operational requirements of the current device, but only meets the environmental requirements for over-the-side shipboard launch, of which are noted in the description. Include, in the design, details of the modularized reconfiguration of the existing acoustic projector, electronics, and thermal lithium power supply, which notionally can be provided as Government Furnished Information (GFI). Establish the feasibility of the design through modeling and simulation pitted against known environmental requirements enabling surface ship launch capability. The Phase I Option, if exercised, will include the initial design specifications and capabilities description to build a prototype solution in Phase II.
Benefit: Some commercial applications include marine mammal acoustic diversions and geological exploration.
