THE NEED EXISTS FOR A SIMULATION CAPABLE OF PREDICTING THE EFFECTIVITY OF ACTIVE AND PASSIVE RF DECOYS IN TERMS OF ARMY AIRFRAME SURVIVABILITY AND MISSION EFFECTIVENESS WHEN EMPLOYED IN ENVIRONMENTS INVOLVING BOTH SINGLE AND MULTIPLE THREATS. THE OBJECTIVE OF THE PHASE I EFFORT IS TO DEMONSTRATE THE FEASIBILITY OF THE APPROACH BEING PROPOSED BY IMPLEMENTING AND DEMONSTRATING A PROTOTYPE CAPABLE OF ...

N/A

AMHERST SYSTEMS PROPOSES TO INVESTIGATE TECHNOLOGY FOR A DYNAMIC TARGET GENERATOR CAPABLE OF SIMULATING CORRELATED INFRARED, ULTRAVIOLET, MILLIMETER WAVE, OPTICAL AND ACOUSTIC SENSOR STIMULATION. THE SIMULATOR WILL BE BASED ON THE AMHERST SYSTEMS INFRARED SCENE GENERATOR (IRSG), COMBAT ELECTROMAGNETIC ENVIRONMENT SIMULATOR (CEESIM), AND RADAR ECHO PULSE SIMULATOR (REPS) SYSTEMS WHICH TOGETHER ALRE ...

AMHERST SYSTEMS PROPOSES TO DEVELOP AN EXPANDABLE AND RECONFIGURABLE SOFTWARE FRAMEWORK FOR TARGET VISUALIZATION WHICH WILL IMPROVE THE DESIGN AND EVALUATION OF CAMOUFLAGE MEASURES AND DECOYS. THE OBJECTIVE OF THE PROPOSED EFFORT IS TO PROVIDE THE ARMY WITH AN INTERACTIVE TOOL FOR THE SUBJECTIVE EVALUATION OF CAMOUFLAGE AND DECEPTION METHODS, AND FOR THE QUANTITATIVE MEASURE OF CAMOUFLAGE EFFECTIV ...

N/A

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THE IMPORTANCE OF COOPERATING EXPERT SYSTEMS ARCHITECTURES IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF INTELLIGENT PROGRAMS TO ASSIST WITH TASKS RANGING FROM DISTRIBUTED SITUATION ASSESSMENT TO INFERENCE OF PROTEIN STRUCTURE. THE MOST WIDELY ADOPTED IS THE BLACKBOARD ARCHITECTURE, WHICH HAS PROVEN HIGHLY EFFECTIVE IN A NUMBER OF SETTINGS. ONE SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM IS THE DEVELO ...

THIS PROPOSAL DESCRIBES RESEARCH TO DEVELOP MODELS AND METHODOLOGY PRODUCTS FOR SELECTIVE MICROWAVE RADIATION ABSORPTION. OUR MATERIALS ARE COATINGS. WE PROPOSE TO INCORPORATE FERROMAGNETIC AND FERRITE MATERIALS IN ORGANIC POLYMERS AND DEVELOPE EASILY APPLICABLE COATINGS ON VARIOUS SUBSTRATES LARGE AND SMALL. THESE COATINGS SHOULD BE HAVING A STRONG IN-BAND TRANSMISSION AND STRONG OUT OF BAND ATTE ...

THIS PROPOSAL SPECIFIES THE DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION OF VIDEODISC BASED INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS FOR THE VOCATIONAL EDUCATION OF DEAF ADOLESCENTS AND ADULTS. THE RESULTING PRODUCT WILL BE DEVELOPED BASED ON EXISTING AUDIOVISUAL FILMSTRIPS. IT WILL COMBINE A LEVEL 3 INTERACTIVE VIDEODISC (L3IV) AND A COMPUTER ASSISTED INSTRUCTION DISKETTE (CAI) ON THE TOPIC BASIC SOLDERING FOR ELECTRONIC R ...

BLOOD IS A BIOLOGICAL LIQUID THAT IS CONSTANTLY IN USE FOR PATIENTS UNDERGOING HEART SURGERY, RESUSCITATION OF HYPOVOLEMIC TRAUMA, HEMORRHAGE, ACUTE AND CHRONIC ILLNESSES. THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY TEN (10) MILLION UNITS OF BLOOD COLLECTED EACH YEAR FROM THREE MILLION INDIVIDUALS. HOWEVER, THERE ARE ABOUT ONE HUNDRED (100) MILLION PATENTIAL DONORS. AS A CONSEQUENCE THERE IS AN IMBALANCE BETWEEN THE ...

THIS PROPOSAL DESCRIBES AN INNOVATIVE CONCEPT FOR ELECTRONIC CAPACITORS THAT ALLOWS ENERGY STORAGE DENSITIES 1,000 TO 100,000 TIMES THOSE OF STATE-OF-THE-ART CAPACITORS. SUCH DENSITIES, USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH MICROELECTRONIC TECHNOLOGIES, WOULD ALLOW COMPLETE POWER SUPPLIES TO BE CONTAINED ON INTEGRATED-CIRCUIT CHIPS. THIS, IN TURN, WOULD ALLOW UNPRECEDENTED FLEXIBILITY AND SAVINGS IN CIRCUIT DE ...
