Workstations are needed for land and sea based ocean surveillance systems for reduction of intelligence and operational data. this project is directed at the development of very powerful workstations. these will support man-machine systems with capabilities of exploitation of data becoming available… More

The phase i effort will establish the requirements for the trajectory model and provide the basis for the generation of the computer product specification.

The u.s. icbm directed energy weapon (dew) vulnerability study establishes first order dew vulnerability susceptibility levels for selected u.s. icbm components. it then rellates those levels to threat system concepts which could deliver the lethal beams on target under typical engagement… More

A heuristic search procedure is proposed for solving the mixed-integer linear program associated with determining optimal signal timing for arterial and network signal systems. the proposed search procedure shows promise of reducing the computational burden associated with solution of large scale… More

This proposed phase i research effort will be a systematic, intensive study towards greater understanding of the tactical aircraft mobility problem. it explores the feasibility of developing a detailed plan for making mobility possible for current and future u.s. air force tactical aircraft through… More

The digital scene matching area correlator (sdmac) is used by unmanned vehicles to provide low altitude guidance position updates to the inertial navigation system. in order to enhance current operation of dsmac, verac, incorporated proposes to accomplish the following: 1. compile data on current… More

This program evaluates the use of external protection material (epm) for hardening u.s. icbms to foreign laser threats. both continuous wave and pulsed lasers are considered. the program first collects and evaluates materials test data relative to its threat applicability. the more promising of the… More

This program is to conduct a c3i technology designed to examine the impact of these technologies on the exploitation of soviet mobile missile systems. the survey will examine technologies and methodologies that could be used to integrate c3i subsystems into c3i/battle management systems. shortfalls… More

This proposal presents an overview of an approach to the issues, methodologies, and technologies that affect air force strategic planning in relationship to ballistic missile warfare. there are many assets being developed by the military services for use in the tactical arena that could assist in… More

Our technical approach to assessing the value and feasibility of rv delivered damage assessment sensors is built upon our successful approach of analyzing, defining, development and testing an air force runway repair airborne damage assessment system. the approach calls for a careful problem… More

Verac, incorporated proposes to conduct a research program which will define the requirements for an automatic perception system which will support nasa mission planning and flight control for the space station and space shuttle. modern methods from computer aided pattern recognition such as… More

Verac proposes to use its extensive computer science and software expertise to show the feasibility of the development of a graphics post-processor for the tsar and dyna-metric logistics models. to accomplish this, verac will perform a survey of identified users to determine specific needs for the… More

The proposed effort addresses an extension of the inertial guidance test demonstration (igtd) program, which consists of the integration of a low cost inertial guidance unit with a mk-82 bomb, to include a terminal seeker. the study focuses on the synergism between inertial guidance and terminal… More

The proposed investigation postulates several candidate concepts for a portable time-space-position-information (tspi) system, evaluates each candidate and selects one or more concepts which satisfy air force cost and performance requirements. the investigation also examines advanced real-time tspi… More

This effort addresses the issues of guidance and navigation for a new family of strategic weapons to be delivered from hypersonic vehicles. the specific focus of the investigation is transfer alignment of the weapon inertial navigation system from that of the hypersonic carrier vehicle. initial… More

This study developed the methodology for designing a propulsion expert assessment tool (peat). the contract tasks consisted of data source identification/collection and interviewing experts. the experts interviewed were from industry (design engineers), logisticians and operational personnel. a… More
