This investigation concerns a new type of lidar system for the determination of the three-dimensional structure of the troposphere and its constituents. the multibeam lidar system is based on a new principle, not previously used, which offers several advantages over a scanning lidar with which it… More

A design study is to be carried out for a lidar system which will provide three-dimensional mapping of upper tropospheric aerosol and cloud. application would be for altitudes up to about 15 kms and ranges out to 30 km. the instrument would provide alternative forms of color-coded real-time display… More

U.S. Army smoke and obscurant field testing programs produce information and data for assessment of inventory and developmental obscurants. Determinations of obscurant cloud dimensions, locations, and centroids are often used for quantifying performance. To determine geometric cloud characterization… More

The Environmentally Oriented Systems Atmospheric Effects Library (EOSAEL) treats the propagation of ultraviolet through millimeter wavelength electromagnetic radiation for a wide range of atmospheric conditions. Because EOSAEL was originally designed in the 1970s for operation on mainframe and… More

Future USAF vehicles (missiles/fighter aircrafts) will have to operate under high altitude flight conditions in order to reach global targets and/or to meet unforeseen threats to the security of USA. A new accurate engineering code is needed to determine quickly the aerothermal characteristics of… More

It is proposed to develop an ultra-sensitive, remotely operated, person portable, GPS mounted and internet ready explosive detector of novel design. It will consist of an ion source based on the elactro-spray ionization source for which 2002 Nobel Prize was awarded to Prof. John Fenn. His… More

It is proposed to develop an ultra-sensitive person-portable, HERO-safe, GPS-mounted, and internet-ready explosive detector of novel design. It will consist of an ion source based on corona discharge ionization. This source will ionize molecules of explosives present in ambient air. They will then… More
