DEVELOPMENT OF A PLAN AND ITS DEMONSTRATION IN PRODUCING MODERN DATABASE FOR RV TECHNOLOGIES IS PROPOSED BY USING CLOUD MICROPHYSICAL DATA SETS COLLECTED SINCE 1985 OVER THE NORTH AMERICAN CONTINENT AND U.S. ARMY KWAJALEIN ATOLL. THE PLAN INCLUDES THE USE OF AIRBORNE RADAR, MODELING, AND SATELLITE ADDITIONS TO THE PARTICLE SIZE DATA TO CORRELATE PARTICLE SIZE AND LIQUID WATER CONTENT OVER AN EXTEN ...

TO MEET THE KINETIC ENERGY ANTI-SATELLITE (KE ASAT) REQUIREMENTS FOR TIMELY AND RELIABLE KILL ASSESSMENT, AEROMET PROPOSES TO RECOMMEND INNOVATIVE TECHNIQUES IN REAL-TIME KILL ASSESSMENT SPECTROSCOPY. BECAUSE IT CAN BE CRITICALLY IMPORTANT TO ACCURATELY VERIFY SATELLITE ELIMINATION, A KILL ASSESSMENT SYSTEM MUST DISCERN BETWEEN VARIOUS HIT AND MISS PHENOMENA, INCLUDING THE USE OF POTENTIAL COUNTER ...

BETTER METHODS TO DELIVER AND DISSEMINATE CARGO ARE NECESSARY TO FULLY EXPLOIT THE CAPABILITIES OF FUTURE INTRATHEATER AIRLIFTERS. THE ARMY'S AND AIR FORCE RENEWED EMPHASIS ON MOBILITY WILL REQUIRE GREATER PRODUCTIVITY BY TRANSPORTATION RESOURCES TO ACHIEVE NATIONAL OBJECTIVES. THE NECESSITATES A MORE THOROUGHLY-INTEGRATED TRANSPORTATION NETWORK. ADVANCED TECHNOLGIES, MATERIALS, AND INNOVATIVE ENG ...

THE OBJECT OF THIS EFFORT WILL BE A REDUCTION IN WEIGHT AND PRODUCTION COSTS, RELATING TO THE CURRENT 5.56 BRASS CASED AMMUNITION CARRIED BY THE U.S. MILITARY FORCES. IT WILL INVOLVE THE EVALUATION OF MATERIALS AND DESIGNS USED BY AMMUNITION TECHNOLOGIES INC (A.T.I.) IN THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE M193 PLASTIC CARTRIDGE CASE DEMONSTRATED AT FORT LEWIS WASHINGTON IN SEPTEMBER OF 1988. THESE ...

AN EFFICIENT COMPUTATIONAL METHOD IS PROPOSED FOR MODELING THE COMPLEX PHYSICAL PHENOMENA OCCURING IN HIGH ENERGY CONTINUOUS WAVE LASER FLOW FIELDS. THESE FLOWS TYPICALLY CONTAIN BOUNDARY LAYERS, MIXING LAYERS, WAKES, AND EMBEDDED SHOCK WAVES. IT IS DIFFICULT TO GENERATE A MESH APRIOR WHICH WILL RESOLVE ALL FEATURES OF THE FLOW. THEREFORE, AN ADAPTIVE GRID TECHNIQUE WILL BE USED AND COUPLED TO AN ...

DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF SOLID-STATE DIRECTION-INDICATING APPARATUS, WITH TILT-IMMUNITY, THAT PROVIDES AN AUDIBLE OR TACTILE INTERFACE WITH THE USER. REDUCED SIZE TO ALLOW ENCAPSULATION IN A TYPICAL WALKING CANE. A DEVICE WILL BE DESIGNED THAT WILL PROVIDE A VISUALLY IMPAIRED PERSON WITH AN INDICATION OF HORIZONTAL DIRECTION, WITH RESPECT TO THE EARTH'S MAGNETIC FIELD. THE DEVICE WILLALSO SIGNAL ...
