"21st Century Systems, Inc. (21CSI) proposes to continue its research and realization of an agent-based decision support system, EXLOG21, for logistics and maintenance operations. In Phase I we researched the base theoretical underpinnings for expeditionarylogistics and constructed a convincing autonomic logistics (AL) system prototype (interfaced to a notionally simulated subset of an instrumente ...

"21st Century Systems, Inc. proposes to research and realize an agent-based decision support system for logistics and maintenance operations. We will use a highly innovative hybrid Bayesian/differential game modeling approach to tackle this problem. Theresulting theory and technology will facilitate logistics and maintenance operations by addressing such practical problems as tradeoff evaluation f ...

"The compact, acoustic-model, execution server (CAMES) and enhanced system-level development environment enables scientists to deliver compute intensive algorithms to all fleet platform types. All topic requirements are met by CAMES architecture implementedas a highly compact, general-purpose execution engine. The key innovation is the CAMES Synchronizing Memory Manager(SMM), which delivers data t ...

"Accurate Automation Corporation (AAC) proposes to develop a Precision Molded Foam(PMF) method that combines features of precision molding, foam injection and vacuumbagging. This method promises to be low cost, to be scalable to high production rate,to require very little touch labor for finished parts and to provide a high degree ofdimensional precision. With this method, small (

"The objective of this proposal is to develop low noise propellers for application in a UAV concept called SWARM. We propose a combined effort of theoretical and experimental studies to be fully responsive to the need of the SWARM program. AccurateAutomation Corporation (AAC) offers a comprehensive approach to design and manufacture a propeller that reduces the noise by 12dBA with respect to the ...

"A study is proposed in which the performance of an underwater acoustic vector sensor (AVS) containing conventional piezoelectric transducers is compared with that of an AVS containing single crystal piezoelectric transducers. An acoustic vector sensor isa device that measures three orthogonal components of the acoustic particle velocity in conjunction with the acoustic pressure at a single point ...

"Acoustech proposes a Phase I study to develop an acoustic dyadic sensor using piezoelectric single crystals. The study combines theoretical and numerical modeling along with experimental data obtained from a pre-prototype unit to assess the feasibility ofdeveloping a full scale unit during Phase II for a surveillance application. Greater sensor directivity in a comparable or smaller sized packag ...

"The Navy is faced with the problem of transmitting data betweenvarious platforms and underwater instrumentation. Security andsafety prevent physical contact between the platform and the datasource so remote optical communication is necessary. A frequencydoubled Nd:YAG laser is used in these situations because itproduces a green beam for efficient transmission through coastalwaters. Unfortunate ...

"The Advanced Integrated Warfare System (AIEWS) will require a high-energy, long-pulse laser that emits wavelengths in the visible to near infrared for optical countermeasures of anti-ship missiles. To meet this future Navy need, Aculight Corporationproposes an affordable and modular diode-pumped solid-state (DPSS) laser that is frequency converted to the visible and near infrared. This modular ...
