High speed, low cost optical self routing optical crossbar switches with gigabit data rates are key components in optical communication and routing systems. We propose to fabricate and study a monolithically integrated optical crossbar switch which will be inexpensive and high performance. This integrated switch utilizes thin film emitters and detectors integrated directly onto a host integrated c ...

REMOTE SENSING OF VIBRATIONS USING COHERENT LASER RADAR (CLR) HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A MEANS OF IDENTIFYING REMOTE TARGETS BY ANALYSIS OF CHARACTERISTIC VIBRATION SPECTRA. CO2 LASER TECHNOLOGY HAS BEEN USED IN EFFORTS UP TO THE PRESENT. RECENT ADVANCES IN EYESAFE ( 1.4 UM) SOLID-STATE LASER AND LASER RADAR TECHNOLOGY POINT TO A MORE SENSITIVE, COMPACT, SHORTER WAVELENGTH ALTERNATIVE, HIGHLY COMPAT ...

GLOBAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGY, INC. PROPOSES TO DEVELOP AN INTELLIGENT TUTORING SYSTEM (ITS) ARCHITECTURE THAT IS FLEXIBLE, MODULARLY STRUCTURED TO ALLOW FOR FUTURE EVOLUTION, AND WHICH CAN BE USED IN A FAMILY OF TACTICAL WEAPON SYSTEMS IN EMBEDDED TRAINING OPERATIONS. IN PARTICULAR, WE PROPOSE USING AN EXISTING ITS FOR WEAPON SYSTEM TRAINING, THE INTELLIGENT EMBEDDED OPERATOR ASSISTANT (I ...

CURRENTLY, THE LANDING REQUIREMENTS OF CLOSE-RANGE, SHORT-RANGE, AND MEDIUM-RANGE UAVS PLACE OPERATIONAL LIMITS ON THEIR USE. A LOW COST, PORTABLE, PRECISION APPROACH AND LANDING SYSTEM IS DESCRIBED IN THIS PROPOSAL WHICH USES THE GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM (GPS) . TO BE VIABLE AS A PRECISION APPROACH SYSTEM, GPS MUST BE CAPABLE OF PROVIDING AN ACCURACY OF BETTER THAN 9.1 METERS IN AZIMUTH AND 3 ME ...
