Optically transparent components for lasers, envelopes for vapor lamps andinfrared transparent domes for missiles require a multi-mode system ofelectromagnetic guidance. In recent years efforts have been concentrated onmaximizing the resolution of optical materials for use in high-energy lasersystems by minimizing the absorption of irradiated power and subsequentdeformation caused by heating. In o ...

This Phase II SBIR proposal describes an innovative towelette for the decontamination of organophosphorous nerve agents from skin, wounds, and other sensitive surfaces of exposed military personnel. The towelette consists of a cotton fabric on which isimmobilized an Organophosphate Hydrolase (OPH) that has been demonstrated to hydrolyze Sarin, Soman, Tabun, VX, and Russian-VX. In Phase I, this n ...

Systems Planning and Analysis, Inc. (SPA) proposes to develop a full-scale, semi-active recoil damper system for the Apache AH-64 attack helicopter nose chain gun based on magnetorheological (MR) fluid and digital control technologies. By activelydissipating recoil forces, which excite the flexural modes of the gun barrel and the gun mount structure, this recoil system was shown in Phase I to red ...

Systems & Processes Engineering Corporation (SPEC) proposes the Hyper-ASIC Program to impact hyperspectral imaging and fast parallel processing of algorithmic data for non-destructive inspection, smart munitions, target identification and classification,and battlefield damage assessment. Hyper-ASIC penetrates to the heart of the commercial semiconductor market with a unique product strategically ...

Defense Planning Guidance (DPG), FY2000-2005 requires the United States (U.S.) Military to develop the capability to rapidly project a dominant ground force anywhere in the world within days. The Army Vision and draft Army Strategic Environments (Draft FM525-5) reinforce the DPG by requiring the right mix of mission tailored, combat-ready land forces and capabilities, including support and sustain ...

IAI is working with a partner company, Time Domain, Incorporated to develop and apply a new type of radio called Time-Modulated Ultra-Wideband radio. When two TM-UWB radios communicate, each immediately knows the range to the other to within approximately.1 inch. TM-UWB radios do not transmit continuous radio waves like conventional radio. Only pulses are transmitted, and power is used only duri ...

We propose to develop, build, and validate a hybrid decision support toolkit that utilizes a combination of common sense reasoning, domain knowledge based reasoning, and soft computing techniques to support intelligent decision making. The main product ofthis project will be the Hybrid Decision Wizard (HDWizard), an agent-based decision support system that facilitates the automated generation of ...
