The goal of this project is to develop an XML-driven platform that will rapidly determine the hazards associated with a collection of chemicals at a given location. Beginning with a query consisting of location, date, and time, the CHAIN (Chemical HazardAssessment Information Network) system will prioritize the materials at the location to provide a ranked list by hazard along with recommended pro ...

This proposal describes the design and creation of an interface for controlling multiple UAVs in a real-time situation. Named the Uninhabited Air Vehicle Management Interface (UAVMI), it is centered on a 3-dimensional graphical representation of theoperational geographic area. The operator is able to move a 3D cursor around within this geographic volume, selecting groups, paths, and targets in 3D ...

Rapid growth in the performance and capabilities of pulsed thermography, and the increased use of composite materials in the construction and repair of military and commercial aircraft, has strongly positioned it as a viable NDI technique. Thistechnology, as it currently stands, is a widely accepted rapid, non-contact, wide-area inspection tool. In Phase I of this program, Thermal Wave Imaging, ...

CONCEPT ANALYSIS CORPORATION (CAC) PROPOSES TO DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF FABRICATING SELF DEPLOYING SPACE STRUCTURES WHICH DO NOT USE ACTUATORS. IN PHASE I, CAC WILL EVALUATE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PLASTIC MEMORY PHENOMENA WHICH COULD BE USED AS A SELF DEPLOYING MECHANISM. PHASE II IS ENVISIONED FOR DEVELOPMENT AND FULL SCALE TESTING. PLASTIC MEMORY IS RECOGNIZED AS THE TENDANCY OF A STRUCT ...

Today's weapon systems and engagement doctrine are highly complex. Attempting to understand and glean important details from tabular data, end game results, and 2-D graphs is difficult. Providing a 3-D real-time representation consolidates all availablekinematic information into a single presentation. This enables observation of engineering level information in the physical realm by viewing actual ...

The proposed program will test the feasibility and key concepts towards the fabrication of a full-scale flexible thin film film photovoltaic blanket. In Phase I, the full size blanket will not be built. That will be undertaken in Phase II. Phase I willfocus on the development and validity testing of the module coupon design, and the integration of the module coupons to fabricate a subscale phot ...

Achieving a combination of high level of strength and toughness in metal alloys has always been the goal of metallurgical research, particularly true in development of construction steel alloys. Significant advances have been made in this area in the pasttwenty years, culminating with introduction of alloys AF1410 and AerMet100. Unfortunately the enhancement of properties was typically obtained th ...

Rapid growth in the performance and capabilities of thermography, and the increased use of composite materials in the construction and repair of military and commercial aircraft, has strongly positioned it as a viable NDI technique. In Phase I, ThermalWave Imaging, Inc. and UD-CCM propose to develop an AC coupled, non-contact Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) technique that can evaluate 3-D state o ...

In response to the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD)'s need for adaptable information assimilation systems to support the fast paced flow and complexity of the evolving battlefield in both Command and Control (C2) and direct combat applications,Soar Technology, Inc. proposes to research and design an intelligent information configuration system. This system will support dynamic configuratio ...
