This proposal is directed to the preparation of high-surface-area (HSA) activated-carbon fibers that are suitable for the Army's lightweight chemical-protective combat uniforms. The overall goal of the proposed program is to develop a domestic source of activated-carbon fibers having surface areas greater than 1500 m2/g. Our approach begins with a novel method of preparing polymeric precursor fibe ...

KVH Industries proposes to design and demonstrate a low cost short range acoustic buoy release system designed to locate and retrieve underwater instruments. The proposed design effort will address the problems of search rate, identification, homing, slant range measurement, localization and buoy acknowledgement. The focus of the Phase I effort will be optimization of correct response to address a ...

1This program is directed towards developing a pilot manufacturing line for chip-on-glass (COG) monochrome and color thin film electroluminescent (TFEL) flat panel displays. This manufacturing line will use the same COG process identified and qualified in Phase I. A statistically significant quantity of VGA flat panel displays will then be built on this manufacturing line to verify the COG manufac ...

We propose to develop an Environmental Monitoring System by integrating various technologies to create a hybrid artificial neural network system. By functionally decomposing the requirements of environmental monitoring we can apply emerging technologies to fulfill these modularized requirements. Ten (10) years of experience indicate that the technologies directly applicable to specific requirement ...

Future artillery launched systems will take advantage of high levels of circuit integration to achieve sophisticated signal processing capabilities in a small rugged package. Two areas that do not presently lend themselves to miniaturization are filters and oscillators. This project will develop miniature rugged RF circuits using thin film microwave acoustic bulk wave resonators and filters and a ...
