Several objectives in this proposal include systematic study of innovative ways and means to improve survivability and safety of airborne platforms (C-130, C-17, Helicopter), flight crew, paratroops, cargo and equipment. High altitude deployment and glide operations, and airborne snatch and recovery of individuals or cargo from ground or water pick-up sites will also be studied. This proposal will ...

Existing balloting codes do not consider all of the forces and interactions that contribute to balloting of hypervelocity projectiles. This effort will result in the definition of a complete mathematical model and the design of an appropriate, user friendly, computational model to predict hypervelocity projectile balloting. Arrow Tech, whose engineers are well known for the development and applica ...

This proposal is directed to the preparation of high-surface-area (HSA) activated-carbon fibers that are suitable for the Army's lightweight chemical-protective combat uniforms. The overall goal of the proposed program is to develop a domestic source of activated-carbon fibers having surface areas greater than 1500 m2/g. Our approach begins with a novel method of preparing polymeric precursor fibe ...

ADAPTATION OF STATE-OF-THE-ART GIGAHERTZ WAFER PROBE TECHNOLOGY (WPT) FOR USE IN DESIGN, TROUBLESHOOTING, AND PRODUCTION OF MULTICHIP MODULES (MCMS) IS PROPOSED. THESE PROBES ARE CURRENTLY CAPABLE OF TESTING SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES ON WAFERS AT FREQUENCIES UPTO 75 GHZ. PHASE I WILL SHOW THE ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL FEASIBILITY OF PROBING MCMS AND SET DIRECTION FOR PHASE II. KEY TASKS INCLUDE ESTABL ...

This project will design and evaluate software prototypes to examine three issues in hypermedia design. 1. What is the proper balance between user and system control? 2. What strategic knowledge is needed to take advantage of the new dimensions of information available and how can the system's design aid in the acquisition of the knowledge? 3. What is the most effective way to integrate informatio ...

1This program is directed towards developing a pilot manufacturing line for chip-on-glass (COG) monochrome and color thin film electroluminescent (TFEL) flat panel displays. This manufacturing line will use the same COG process identified and qualified in Phase I. A statistically significant quantity of VGA flat panel displays will then be built on this manufacturing line to verify the COG manufac ...

Inside Out vs Outside In! It seems reasonable to hypothesize that the pilot of an air vehicle will feel more in harmony with the actions of his vehicle when he is at the relative "origin" of the coordinate frame of reference of that vehicle ... and will respond more quickly and with greater accuracy, precision, and efficiency. Experience teaches that this occurs for a piot when utilizing an "insid ...
