Standard U.S. Navy fiber optic assemblies require that the fiber be bonded to the connector using an adhesive that is labor intensive and heat controlled (MIL-A-24792). Advanced Material Systems (AMS) proposes a study that could solve this problem through the development of an adhesive system that would cure at room temperature in less that 3 minutes and yet meet all of the in-service req ...

BONN Corporation (BONN) has chosen to concentrate on a methodology that computes an optimal target search in near-real-time, with the capability of accommodating user-definable optimality based upon time / pathlength, probability of target detection target value, and survivability in a dense threat environment. This methodology will be extensible to address multiple airborne platforms and multipl ...

The Crown team proposes to develop a Global Positioning System Based Formation Control System (GFCS). The proposed GFCS shall allow vehicles to maneuver relative to each other without reference to additional positioning data and shall allow separations of the nearest points on the vehicles in formation as low as one meter. The GFCS shall utilize commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS)/ non-developm ...

1The present proposal addresses those mission areas where excellent seakeeping is required in a small, high-speed craft that has substantial range. A preliminary and detail design will be performed for a 10-ton, carbon-fiber reinforced Hydrofoil Small Waterplane Area Ship (HYSWAS). The design will establish hydrostatic, hydrodynamic, structural, control and propulsion aspects of the demonstration ...

The proposal program will demonstrate packaging technology in an optical interconnect device consisting of at least 64 parallel interconnections between stages. The packaging will allow a 1 GHz bandwidth, micro-optoelectronic switch to survive in a 50 g (gravity) shock and vibration environment. OptiComp's enabling GaAs "Smart" optoelectronic interconnect modules will be used in the proposed opt ...

SEABORNE POWERED TARGETS ARE CURRENTLY REMOTELY CONTROLLED VIA LINE OF SIGHT RADIO FREQUENCY SYSTEMS. IT IS DESIRED TO REMOVE THIS LINE OF SIGHT LIMITATION. THE PROPOSED SOLUTION WILL UTILIZE A TARGET BORNE LORAN C NAVIGATOR TO ESTABLISH LOCATION AND AUTONOMOUSLY CONTROL THE TARGET BETWEEN WAYPOINTS INSERTED INTO THE NAVIGATION. LOCATION DATA WILL BE COMMUNICATED TO A CONTROL STATION, FOR MONITORI ...

Standard Object Systems, Inc. proposes the adaptati on of its Standard Objects for Phonetic Speech Recognition software to the development of a Software Package for Speaker Independent or Dependent Continuous Speech Recognition. This application supports both speaker independent and dependent connected word recognition with adaptation to multi lingual and multi accent envir ...

SEVERAL CONCEPTS ARE PROPOSED FOR LOCOMOTIVE CAB ALERTERS THAT CAN BE RETROFITTED TO ALERTER SYSTEMS ALREADY IN SERVICE. THE CONCEPTS INCLUDE A TOUCH SCREEN, WHICH REQUIRES TOUCHING A TARGET TO RESET THE TIMER OR TO RESPOND TO THE ALERTER LIGHT PROMPT. THE INITIAL LOCATION OF THE TARGET ON THE SCREEN IS AUTOMATICALLY SELECTED AT RANDOM. ANOTHER CONCEPT IS THE USE OF A TELEPHONE KEYPAD WITH LCD, WH ...
