DENTAL ILLNESSES AND INJURIES OCCURRING IN THE FIELD ARE DIFFICULT TO TREAT WITHOUT A DENTAL CHAIR. WE HAVE DESIGNED A FIELD EXPEDIENT DENTAL CHAIR MADE OF COMPOSITE (PRIMARILY HONEYCOMB AND CARBONGRAPHITE FIBER) MATERIALS. THE CHAIR ALLOWS BOTH STAND-UP AND SIT DOWN DENTISTRY. THE CHAIR WEIGHS LESS THAN TEN LB., FOLDS TO A SMALL VOLUME, IS EASILY CLEANED AND IS RUGGED. ADDITIONALLY, THE DEVICE AL ...

THE TACTICS AND DOCTRINE OF THE MODERN BATTLEFIELD DICTATE THE NEED FOR INTELLIGENT MACHINES TO ASSIST HUMAN OPERATORS. THE TECHNOLOGY ASSOCIATED WITH ENCAPSULATING THE KNOWLEDGE AND TECHNIQUES USED IN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) TO CAPTURE THE REASONING PROCESS THAT HUMAN EXPERTS PERFORM WILL HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON FUTURE COMPUTER SYSTEMS FOR THE MILITARY. EQUALLY AS IMPORTANT AS THE DEVEL ...

THIS PROPOSAL DESCRIBES A NEW DECEPTION COUNTERMEASURE TECHNIQUE TO COUNTER ADVANCED GUIDED WEAPON SYSTEMS. PRIOR EXPERIMENTATION PERFORMED AT ARC DEMONSTRATED THE INTERACTIONS OF THE LFAD ANGULAR DECEPTION TECHNIQUE, SUPERIMPOSED ON TARGET LINE-OF-SIGHT RATE, AND THE IMPACT UPON MICROWAVE WEAPON SYSTEM PERFORMANCE. THESE PROJECTS EXPLORED SEVERAL OPERATIONAL SITUATIONS AND IDENTIFIED POTENTIAL WE ...

THE PROPOSED CONCEPT IS A REFLECTOR-EXPENDABLE DESIGNED TO COUNTER WEAPONS SYSTEMS THAT UTILIZE INTEGRATED RF/EO/IR TARGET ACQUISITION AND TRACKING SYSTEMS THREAT FIRE CONTROL SENSORS OVER THE ENTIRE FREQUENCY. THIS PHASE I EFFORT IS CONCERNED WITH PROVING PRELIMINARY FEASIBILITY OF THE BASIC CONCEPT ANALYTICALLY FOR APPLICATIONS ON SEMA AIRCRAFT, AND TO PERFORM SUFFICIENT PACKAGING ANALYSIS TO ES ...

IN SUPPORT OF THE IDENTIFIED NEED FOR A FULL SCALE FEED SYSTEM FOR COMVAT WHICH WILL BE COMPATIBLE WITH FUTURE AND PRESENT RESUPPLY VEHICLES AND REQUIRE LITTLE EFFORT FROM THE CREW, THIS SIX MONTH TRADE STUDY WILL CREATE, AND ANALYZE A MINIMUM OF THREE FEED SYSTEM CONCEPTS VIA A SYSTEMS APPROACH. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS WILL BE ESTABLISHED, WEIGHTED AND APPROVED BY THE SPONSORING AGENCY PRIOR TO THE C ...

THIS PROJECT DEVELOPS AN INTELLIGENT INTERFACE FOR A COMMAND AND CONTROL DECISION-MAKER TRYING TO USE MULTIPLE ARTIFICAL-INTELLIGENCE BASED DECISION AIDS IN A COORDINATED MANNER. IT ADDRESSES THE CRITICAL NEED FOR COMMAND AND CONTROL DECISION-MAKERS TO BE ABLE TO USE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AIDS WITHOUT COMPROMISING THEIR INTUITIVE COGNITIVE APPROACH TO THE REAL TIME AND MULTI-TASKING DEMANDS OF C ...

N/A

THE POWER OF INSTANT FEEDBACK IN STIMULATING LEARING HAS BEEN WELL DEMONSTRATED IN THE EDUCATIONAL COMMUNITY, BUT MODERN TECHNOLOGY HAS BEEN SLOW IN PRODUCING A PRACTICAL, RELIABLE AND COST-EFFECTIVE METHOD OF PROVIDING SUCH FEEDBACK IN THE CLASSROOM. WE PROPOSE TO DEVELOP A SYSTEM WHICH UTILIZES CURRENT TECHNOLOGY TO ENHANCE THE LEARNING SITUATION FOR THE PUPIL AND INCREASE THE EFFICIENCY OF THE ...
