L. SENSORS AND SENSOR TECHNOLOGY: Sensors provide real-time information and data, and could provide a significant military advantage in a conflict. Marine acoustics is critical in anti-submarine warfare; gravity meters are essential for missile launch calibration. Look for technologies associated with:

-- Marine acoustics

-- Optical sensors

-- Night vision devices, image intensification devices

-- Gravity meters

-- High speed photographic equipment

-- Magnetometers

M. MARINE TECHNOLOGY: Marine technologies are often associated with submarines and other deep submersible vessels; propulsion systems designed for undersea use and navigation and quieting systems are associated with reducing detectability and enhancing operations survivability. Look for technologies connected with:

-- Submarines and submersibles

-- Undersea robots

-- Marine propulsion systems

-- Signature recognition

-- Acoustic and non-acoustic detection

-- Acoustic, wake, radar and magnetic signature reduction

-- Magnetohydrodynamics

-- Stirling engines and other air independent propulsion systems

-- Urban design
