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. ...

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

Recent developments in DNA microarray generation technology have made entirely new methods of gene analysis feasible. The DNA microarray can greatly facilitate research in the areas of drug and vaccine discovery, disease screening, and toxicology, amongothers. Therefore, the importance of a low-cost, high-resolution, high-throughput DNA microarray generation system cannot be understated. Curren ...

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 ...
