THE WORK PROPOSED WILL RESULT IN A COMPLETE, PRELIMINARY SYSTEM DESIGN OF AN ELECTROMAGNETIC PROJECTILE LAUNCHER, BASED ON THE STAR EML CONCEPT DEVELOPED BY AMERICAN ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES. THE COMPLETED DESIGN WILL PERMIT THE AIR FORCE TO COMPARE THE PERFORMANCE, WEIGHT AND SIZE OF THE STAR EML WITH OTHER CONCEPTS BEING INVESTIGATED. THE STAR EML SYSTEM IS OF INTEREST TO THE AIR FORCE BECAUSE THE ...

THIS PROJECT WILL PREPARE FOR EVALUATION A MATERIAL WHICH SHOULD DEMONSTRATE SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE IN ABSORBING AND DISSIPATING EXPLOSION SHOCK ENERGY. THE COMPOSITION PROPOSED AND ITS BASIS FOR PERFORMANCE ARE EXPLAINED. SHOCK WAVE TESTING WILL BE UNDERTAKEN; AND BASED ON THE RESULTS, RECOMMENDATIONS WILL BE MADE FOR FUTURE PROJECT DIRECTION.

THE OBJECTIVE IS TO DEVELOP COMPUTER SOFTWARE WHICH ANALYZES THE OPERATIONAL HISTORY OF ARMY VEHICLES, SUCH AS 5-TON DIESEL TRUCKS, AND BASED ON THIS ANALYSIS RECOMMENDS MAINTENANCE AND OTHER PREVENTIVE ACTION WHICH MINIMIZES EQUIPMENT BREAKDOWN. THE SOFTWARE WOULD OPERATE ON A PRIME COMPUTER, AND IT SHOULD INCLUDE EXTENSIVE GRAPHICS CAPABILITIES WHICH WOULD ASSIST IN PROGNOSTIC ANALYSIS. THE SOFT ...

ANTROPIX CORPORATION PROPOSES TO OBTAIN TIME - RESOLVE OPTICAL PROPERTIES MEASUREMENTS (PLASMA OPACITY IN THE 8 - 12 MICRON SPECTRAL REGION, AS WELL AS STARK BROADENING AND RELATIVE INTENSITY PARAMETERS) ON BROADBAND PLASMA BARRIERS (BPBS) GENERATED BY LASER ACTIVATION OF ALKALI METAL (E.G., NA AND CS) VAPORS. SIMILAR MEASUREMENTS WILL BE COMPLETED ON KNOWN PHASE TRANSITION MATERIALS (PTMS) SUCH A ...

THE RESEARCH FOR AN ALTERNATE MEANS TO CRT TECHNOLOGY OF GENERATING VISUAL DISPLAY HAS BEEN UNDERWAY FOR YEARS. THE PROGRAM PROPOSED WILL DEFINE A METHOD OF PRODUCING A "CRT" TYPE OF VISUAL DISPLAY USING A LASER SCANNING CONCEPT PREVIOUSLY BASED ON WORK AT APA OPTICS, INC. THE PREVIOUS WORK DEFINED A METHOD OF GENERATING A NONMOVING PART SINGLE AXIS LASER SCAN GENERATOR. THIS PROGRAM WILL INVESTIG ...

USE OF ATOMIC LAYER EPITAXY IS BEING INVESTIGATED FOR GROWING SINGLE CRYSTAL ALGAN LAYERS. THE FORMATION OF NITROGEN VACANCIES IS EXPECTEDTO BE SUPPRESSED BY THE UNIQUE ATOMIC LAYER DEPOSITIONS AND THE EXCITATION OF NH3 GAS BY A LASER SOURCE. THIS SHOULD RESULT IN HIGH QUALITY LARGE AREA SINGLE CRYSTAL LAYERS OF ALGAN WHICH COULD BE USED TO MAKE SOLAR BLIND ULTRA-VIOLET (UV) SENSORS. THESE THIN EP ...

THE OBJECTIVES OF THE PROPOSAL EFFORT ARE TO IMPROVE THE RELIABILITY AND TO REDUCE THE FABRICATION COSTS OF SINGLE MODE FIBEROPTICS COUPLERS BY: 1. DEVELOPING THICK, SINGLE MODE WAVEGUIDES WITH IDENTICAL CROSS SECTIONAL PROFILE MATCHING THAT OF SINGLE MODE FIBERS; AND 2. LOCATING THESE FIBERS TO WAVEGUIDES, MADE OF ELECTROOPTIC MATERIAL, USING PREALIGNED ETCHED "V" GROOVES IN A GAAS SUBSTRATE. OUR ...

THREE CONCEPTS ARE PROPOSED FOR REACTIVE PROTECTIVE SYSTEMS FOR ABOVE-GROUND HARDENED STRUCTURES. THESE AND OTHER CONCEPTS WOULD BE EVALUATED FOR THEIR EFFECTIVENESS IN DEFEATING OR SERIOUSLY DEGRADING THE TERMINAL BALLISTIC PERFORMANCE OF A VARIETY OF CONVENTIONAL MUNITIONS WHICH COULD BE USED TO ATTACK AND DIRECTLY IMPACT HARDENED STRUCTURES. APPROXIMATE COST COMPARISONS WOULD BE MADE BETWEEN CO ...
