Company Description: 

Maritime Applied Physics Corporation (MAPC) has a 30-year history of designing and building advanced technology systems for both commercial and government sponsors. What began as an engineering services company in the 1980’s has evolved into a research, engineering, and manufacturing company that conceives and builds technology-rich systems. MAPC has a combination of engineering and heavy fabrication capabilities that enable the company to design, prototype and produce innovative systems.

MAPC has specific experience with the design of electronic systems for advanced vehicles, including ground robots, hydrofoils, passenger vessel motion reduction systems, rudder and autopilot systems, watercraft launch and recovery systems, shipboard machinery systems, and unmanned aircraft launch and recovery systems. The company has an excellent capability to perform the dynamic simulations of control problems and design and implement digital controls for these systems. MAPC has built and supplied inertial navigation systems and robotic control systems on land, air and sea vehicles. The company has built electric vehicles for a major car company.

Starting Date: 

Feb 2019

The MIPS work at the University of Maryland allows MAPC to offer passenger hydrofoils that have a 15 percent lower fuel consumption than those of our competitors. Since fuel costs are the highest cost element in fast ferry operations, this is a very important benefit. The MIPS process gave our company access to Wind Tunnel facilities and aerodynamic expertise that we could not otherwise afford.
