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 ...

Advances in microelectronics, data communication systems and sensor technology have led to the production of relatively small, inexpensive and accurate measuring devices that can be considered expendable. Releasing these compact sensor packages from manned and unmanned aircraft provides the user a mechanism to place sampling points with great accuracy as opposed to conventional ground-based, b ...

A significant amount of effort has been applied to the extremely complex littoral environment, particularly in the area of acoustics. The Navy's increasing requirements to operate in shallow water necessitates examination of the Navy's models for prediction of shallow water phenomena. Ambient noise in shallow water is not well understood or well modeled. Surf noise is a major contributor to amb ...

Omni Technologies, Inc. proposes to study the design feasibility of a sensor and data acquisition package to be used in the monitoring and collection of mine burial and mine burial forcing function data. The data will be used to improve military mine burial models to determine the detectability of buried mines and help define mine hunt training curriculums. The sensor and data acquisition pack ...

This proposal addresses a design and fabrication investigation of a volume photorefractive optical memory system. The technology supports integration into two dimensional (2D) arrays of reconfigurable optical interconnect pixels for high performance digital processing applications such as high speed telecommunications and computing. The proposed volume memory array will be integrated into the hi ...

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 ...
