Accurate Automation Corporation (AAC) proposes to develop an analytical andexperimental database that demonstrates the basic feasibility of inlet injection ofoxidizer in turbojet engines for turbojet acceleration. This will enable operation ofconventional turbojets to higher Mach numbers, to higher speeds, and to higheraltitudes than they are current capable. This is a step in using the nation'si ...

The development of a pre-compressor mass injection system for extending the flight Mach number and altitude of conventional military afterburning turbofan engines is proposed. The injection of water and liquid oxidizer such as liquid oxygen can be used toenhance the performance of these engines so that they may power the reusable air-breathing first stage of a space access vehicle. The fluid inje ...

Acoustic Bandgap (ABG) materials can serve as acoustic filters to reduce and/or modify acoustic signatures. This is made possible by the incorporation of specific internal geometries within ABG panels, that are produced using solid free form fabricationtechniques. Three different types of (ABG) materials are presented, with two selected for further investigation. Two specific applications are p ...

Biology provides a vast number of examples of nanostructures produced at a level of precision that is superior to those that we can produce in the laboratory. The diversity of naturally occurring S-layers suggests that the nature of these self-assembledstructures is genetically controlled and can therefore be manipulated through recombinant processes. In this Phase I research plan, Agave BioSyst ...

High performance fiberoptic switches are in critical demand for use in the ever-growing communication networks and modern defense systems. Fiberoptic switch is the key component to enable much simplified and higher performance Active Optical Networks,where optical signals/channels are dynamically switched, routed, reconfigured, multiplexed, protected and restored all in the optical layer, elimina ...

The utility of continuously tracking vehicles in a battlefield has been demonstrated during the Gulf War and other recent conflicts. However, the ability to achieve reliable continuous tracking in many environments will require the use of FOPEN radar andefficient use of sensor resources. In this effort we extend current research to include heterogeneous terrain and apply this model to simulations. ...
