Algorithms for 3 Axis Magnetometer in the Water Column

The Department of Defense, specifically the Navy, is seeking innovative solutions through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program to develop algorithms for 3-axis magnetometers used in underwater object detection. The primary objective is to create advanced real-time signal processing algorithms that enhance the performance of low-power commercial 3-axis magnetometers, addressing challenges such as motion-induced noise and calibration issues that affect detection capabilities. These algorithms will play a crucial role in improving the detection, localization, and classification of underwater threats, with potential applications extending to military and commercial sectors, including geological exploration and satellite altitude control. Interested parties should note that the solicitation is set to open on January 8, 2025, with a closing date of February 5, 2025, and can find more information at the official SBIR website.
