EVOLVING WEAPONS, TACTICS, AND THE COMMAND AND CONTROL STRUCTURE DEMAND FLEXIBLE, RELIABLE, AND HIGH RATE COMMUNICATIONS. FLEXIBILITY MUST INCLUDE INTEROPERABILITY, CONNECTIVITY, AND RECONSTRUCTABILITY. RELIABILITY MUST BE MAINTAINED IN A DYNAMIC, HOSTILE ELECTROMAGNETIC ENVIRONMENT. UNFRIENDLY C3CM ATTACKS ARE BOTH PASSIVE AND ACTIVE WITH BANDWIDTH AND DATA RATE BECOMING EXTREMELY SCARCE UNDER TH ...

THE MOST CRITICAL ASPECT OF THE RADIO FREQUENCY POWER SUPPLY FOR THE NEUTRAL PARTICLE BEAM INTEGRATED EXPERIMENT IS ITS POWER TO WEIGHT RATIO. IN ADDITION, THE SPACE-QUALIFIED 45V POWER SUPPLY MUST BE ABLE TO SUPPLY 27,000 AMP PULSES DOWN TO 350 MICROSECONDS WITH ONLY A 2 - 3% VOLTAGE DROP. PROTON EXCHANGE MEMBRANE FUEL CELLS HAVE POTENTIALLY THE HIGHEST POWER TO WEIGHT RATIO OF ANY TYPE OF FUEL C ...

For this SBIR project, Epitaxial Technologies will an innovative active sensor and associated ROIC technologies and demonstrate large format 128 x128 focal plane arrays (FPA) having simultaneously high single photon sensitivity, frame rates and effective bandwidths. In Phase I, we will design and fabricate an intermediate format (32 x 32) APD array and demonstrate that these devices are capable of ...

This proposal introduces advances in the performance and packaging of modular radiators for heat flow modulation on operationally responsive space (ORS) smallsats. The proposed concept is based on the loop heat pipe (LHP) thermal switching radiator. Two key advancements proposed are: 1) use of a novel submicron pore size, high permeability wick that offers higher performance and lower cost than ...

THE CONTRACTOR SHALL DEVELOP A FUZZY SET METHODOLOGY FOR UNCERTAINTY ANALYSIS IN PROBABILISTIC SEISMIC SAFETY ASSESSMENT OF NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS. FUZZY SET LOGIC WILL BEUSED FOR COLLECTING, QUANTIFYING AND PROPAGATING SUBJECTIVE,ENGINEERING JUDGEMENT USED IN THE UNCERTAINTY ANALYSIS. IN PHASE I, FEASIBILITY OF THE PROPOSED APPROACH WILL BE DEMONSTRATED BY APPLYING IT TO SELECTED PARTS OF A PROBABI ...

ABSTRACT: Cyber network has become a mission-critical asset for today"s military operation. To assure the availability of large-scale networks and their resources, mission commanders need to maintain situational awareness of the current status of the network and mission assets during the operations. In this proposal, Intelligent Automation, Inc. proposes an agent-based distributed mission-aware p ...

The future airborne network will be capable of supporting diverse heterogeneous networks (subnets). The constellation of ISR, C2 and Targeting networks are example subnet technologies. However, these networks currently only provide their own mission specific implementations, operate at different frequency bands, use different waveforms, and provide limited autonomous switching and routing capabili ...

BASED ON OUR RESEARCH, WE FEEL THAT THE STAINING PROPERTIES OF SITS (4-ACETOAMIDO-4'-ISOTHIOCYANOSTILBENE 2,2' DISULPHONIC ACID), A REAGENT WHICH ENABLES IN SITU VISUALIZATION AND DISCRIMINATION AMONG LIVING, DYING AND DEAD CELLS, MAKE IT A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR USE IN AN APPROPRIATELY DESIGNED INSTRUMENT. WE PROPOSE AN AUTOMATED VIDEO MICROSCOPE WITH MEMORY AND POSSIBLE REMOTE VIEWING CAPABILITY. IT ...
