Technology Spotlight
Wireless power system design toolbox
Naval Surface Warfare Center - Crane Division
Far-field wireless power energy systems (WPES) promise to deliver electricity from a remote location to items such as drones, sensors, and maybe even cars. A wide variety of engineers work in a highly distributed environment to design these systems, which creates varying methodologies and differing computation results.

Addressing WPES design issues, Navy scientists have developed a robust, distributed modeling, simulation, analysis, and visualization (MSAV) environment.

Businesses or entrepreneurs can license this patent-pending technology for commercial developmen
