THE NAVY DESIRES AN OPTICAL CORRELATOR SYSTEM TO DETERMINE AIRCRAFT PARAMETERS DURING THE TERMINAL PHASE OF LANDING ON AIRCRAFT CARRIERS. THE FOUNDER OF ADVANCED OPTICAL SYSTEMS, INC. (AOS) CONCEIVED AND DEVELOPED A SERIES OF OPTICAL CORRELATORS FOR MISE. TERMINAL GUIDANCE AND FOR SMART BOMBS. WE DEVELOPED A MULTICHANNEL TRACKING CORRELATOR WHICH WE PROPOSE TO APPLY TO THE AIRCRAFT LANDING PROBLEM ...

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 ...

THERE IS AN ACUTE NEED FOR VERY HIGH EFFICIENCY HEAT EXCHANGERS IN CRYOGENIC APPLICATIONS. THE GOAL OF PHASE I IS A HEAT EXCHANGER DESIGN WITH AN EFFECTIVENESS 0.99. THE HEAT EXCHANGER GEOMETRY IS A PERFORATED, PARALLELPLATE TYPE. THE DESIGN METHODOLOGY ENTAILS EXPLICIT CALCULATION OF HEAT TRANSFER RATES AND PRESSURE DROPS BY CONSIDERING LONGITUDINAL THERMAL CONDUCTION, BOUNDARY LAYER DEVELOPMENT, ...

CONTINUOUS, FULL POWER OPERATION OF HIGH OUTPUT SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES IS GENERALLY LIMITED BY THE HEAT DISSIPATION CAPABILITY OF THE DEVICE PACKAGE. EXISTING COOLING SCHEMES REQUIRE COOLING PUMPS AND SECONDARY RADIATORS, WHICH LIMITS THE APPLICATION OF THESE DEVICES TO LARGE VEHICLES. THIS PROPOSAL CONCERNS THE ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF A THERMAL PACKAGE WHICH IS CAPABLE OF DISSIPATING HIGH HEAT FLUX ...

MANY MATERIALS, SUCH AS DOPED SI AND GE, REQUIRE LOW OPERATING TEMPERATURES FOR OPERATION. ELEMENTAL SUPERCONDUCTORS, SUCH AS NB, MUST BE OPERATED BELOW THEIR TRANSITION TEMPERATURES, WHICH DO NOT EXCEED 9 KELVIN. THE EXISTING CRYOCOOLER CYCLES, EVEN IF THEY CAN REACH THESE TEMPERATURES, ARE VERY INEFFICIENT BECAUSE OF POOR REGENERATOR PERFORMANCE. THE PROPOSED EFFORT COVERS THE DEVELOPMENT, USING ...

BECAUSE OF THE COMPLEXITY OF THE HELICOPTER FLOW FIELD, A ZONAL METHOD OF ANALYSIS OF COMPUTATIONAL AERODYNAMICS IS REQUIRED. IN THIS RESEARCH, A NEW PROCEDURE FOR COUPLING POTENTIAL AND VISCOUS FLOW CALCULATION SCHEMES IS PROPOSED. AN OVER-LAPPING, VELOCITY-COUPLING TECHNIQUE IS TO BE DEVELOPED WITH THE UNIQUE FEATURE THAT THE POTENTIAL FLOW SURFACE SINGULARITY STRENGTHS ARE OBTAINED DIRECTLY FRO ...
