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 ...

CONTRACTOR WILL DEVELOP A LAGRANGIAN FORMULATION FOR THE ELECTROMAGNETIC RESPONSE OF A METALLIC ENCLOSURE WITH THIN, SLIGHTLY DIFFUSIVE WALLS AND A WIRE SPANNING THE ENCLOSURE. CONTRACTOR WILL FIRST DERIVE A LAGRANGIAN OPERATOR ON THE FIELDS WHICH IS STATIONARY WHEN MAXWELL'S EQUATIONS ARE SATISFIED. THE LAGRANGIAN WILL THEN BE USED TO DETERMINE THE ENCLOSURE EIGENMODES (WIRE INCLUDED) AND THE AMP ...

CODES CURRENTLY EXIST THAT WILL CALCULATE THE ELECTROMAGNETIC ENVIRONMENT (EMP) PRODUCED BY A BEAM OF COLLIMATED GAMMA RAYS. THE COLLIMATION MAY BE EITHER CYLINDRICAL OR CONICAL. THE CURRENT EFFORT WILL BE TO INSTALL THE CODES ON AN ARMY CRAY COMPUTER AND TO SET THEM UP AND RUN THEM FOR PROBLEMS OF INTEREST TO THE ARMY.

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 ...

THERE IS AN ESTABLISHED NEED FOR A SIMPLE ROBUST TRANSDUCER TO MEASURE PARTICLE VELOCITY IN SEVERE BLAST AND SHOCK ENVIRONMENTS SUCH AS NUCLEAR AND HIGH EXPLOSIVE TESTS. A GAGE CONCEPT IS PROPOSED FOR DEVELOPMENT, BASED ON THE PROVEN MEASUREMENT PRINCIPLES USED IN THE HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL DX GAGE, BUT RECONFIGURED MECHANICALLY AND ELECTRICALLY TO WITHSTAND THE HARSH SHOCK ENVIRONMENTS. THE CONCEPT RE ...
