"The objective of this Phase I effort is to produce "ATO Link", an operational link analysis prototype, that can predict and identify planning and re-planning conflicts during the ATO (Air Tasking Order) planning process. The analyst will have thecapability to perform many "what if" scenarios and ATO Link will determine if there would be any future potential plan conflicts.ATO Link extends our cu ...

"The objective of this Phase II effort is the development and operationaltest insertion of ATO Link, an effects-based dynamic planning andscheduling tool that exploits link analysis and optimizationtechnologies. This capability can be inserted into TAP, the Theatre AirPlanning System currently in operation at Air Force Air OperationCenters (AOCs). This technology directly adds value to the current ...

The primary objective of this proposed work is to develop a method of producing integrally stiffened, complex shaped monolithic structural components in high strength aluminum alloys at a lower cost and lighter weight than equivalent conventional built-up assemblies. In Phase I the feasibility of attaining this objective will be demonstrated by conducting a series of subscale experiments based upo ...

The occurrence of causative agents such as Cryptosporidium parvum and other pathogens in water supplies presents a critical issue. Transmitted through water and animals, these organisms provide a reservoir of infection, which results in the excretion of the environmentally stable cysts or oocysts that are impervious to inactivation by many drinking water disinfectants. Cryptosporidium infections a ...

It is proposed to use a carbon cold cathode as a source for an electron spray Chemical andBiological Warfare Agent (CBWA) decontamination unit. The goal is to design a device usingthe cold cathode source and model all of the necessary parameters of its operation. Electronbeam technology has been shown to be an excellent tool in medical treatment and environmentaldecontamination systems. Phase I ...

It is the goal of Applied Optronics to develop, fabricate and package antimony alloy diode lasers capable of high power operation at wavelengths between 2 and 5 microns, and to design a practical, high performance master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) device based on antimony alloy diode lasers. In the proposed effort, Applied Optronics will use newly developed aluminum, gallium, and antimony m ...

Compact pulsed power systems and power sources are rapidly becoming important in aerial-based military systems. With the increase usage of High Power Microwaves (HPM), advanced radar systems, electrical propulsion systems and space based laser systemsstate-of-the-art pulsed power modules take on increasing importance. Applied Physical Electronics, L.C. proposes two systems that offer compact, hig ...

"There is a need for a personal radiofrequency radiation (RF) alarm that has the ability to detect high levels of electromagnetic field exposures, in both near and far-field situations, so that personnel can perform their duties without health hazards inenvironments mandated by DOD operations. This project will develop a small, inexpensive portable alarm to detect overexposures to RF electric and ...
