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 ...

A UNIQUE HIGH TEMPERATURE, HIGH PRESSURE GASEOUS PHOTOCHEMICAL REACTOR WITH OPTICAL AND MASS SPECTROMETRIC SPECIES DETECTION CAPABILITIES WILL BE DESIGNED. THE PROPOSED DESIGN, UTILIZING AEROCHEM'S EXPERIENCE IN CONSTRUCTING AND USING SIMILAR APPARATUS, WILL EXCEED THE UPPER TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE SPECIFICATIONS GIVEN IN THE SOLICITATION IN ORDER TO GIVE THE INSTRUMENT GREATER UTILITY. ALTERNATE ...

ALTHOUGH THERE ARE NO INTRINSIC CONFLICTS FOR THE SAME MATERIAL SYSTEMS TO ACHIEVE BOTH THE RADAR ABSORPTION AND THERMAL SUPPRESSION CHARACTERISTICS THERE EXISTS NO COMMERCIAL PRODUCT THAT HAS THE DESIRED DUAL PROPERTIES. A THEORETICAL CALCULATION ON THE FEASIBILITY OF SEVERAL PROPOSED MATERIAL SYSTEMS WILL BE PERFORMED. THE CALCULATIONS ARE BASED ON A MEAN FIELD THEORY FOR DIELECTRIC PROPERTIES. ...

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 PROPOSAL IS TO APPLY COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMIC (CFD) SIMULATIONS TO DESIGN SLUGLESS HIGH VELOCITY PULSE SHAPED CHARGE WARHEADS FOR ARMOR PENETRATION. WE HVE DEVELOPED A NEW AND VERY NOVEL CODE ELPIC (EXTENDED LAGRANGIAN PARTICLE IN CELL CODE) WHICH OVERCOMES THE NORMALLY ENCOUNTERED DIFFICULTIES OF BOTH EULERIAN AND LAGRANGIAN CFD CODES FOR THESE PROBLEMS. USING THIS HIGHLY RELIABLE AND EFF ...

N/A

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE RESEARCH HAS PROGRESSED TO THE POINT WHERE IT HAS PRODUCED A WIDE RANGE OF APPLICATIONS, TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES. TO ASSURE THAT THESE SYSTEMS WILL RELIABLY PERFORM WILL REQUIRE THE DEVELOPMENT OF ADVANCED TESTING PROCEDURES. THIS PROPOSAL DETAILS A PLAN FOR ORGANIZING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE KNOWLEDGE AND BUILDING SOFTWARE TOOLS WHICH USE THIS KNOWLEDGE AS A FIRST STEP TOWARD ...
