N/A

TO SATISFY AIR FORCE REQUIREMENTS TO IMPROVE AVIATION REACTIVE ATMOSPHERES IN A UNIQUE, CONTRACTOR-OWNED ENTRAINED FLOW REACTOR WITH ON-LINE, IN-SITU ANALYSIS OF VOLATILE SPECIES, TEMPERATURE AND RADIATION ABSORPTION CHARACTERISTICS BY FOURTER TRANSFORM INFRARED (FT-IR) SPECTROSCOPY. THESE DATA WILL BE USED TO EVALUATE THE APPLICATION OF EXISTING CONTRACTOR-DEVELOPED MODELS OF VAPORIZATION, PYROLY ...

N/A

THE DEVELOPMENT OF PASSIVE ACOUSTIC INSTRUMENTATION SYSTEMS AND TECHNOLOGY FOR REENTRY VEHICLE FLIGHT TEST MEASUREMENT OF HYDROMETER MASS AND NUMBER DENSITY IS PROPOSED.

DESIGN OF EFFECTIVE MAN-MACHINE INTERFACES (MMI) IS CRITICAL TO THE OPERATIONAL EFECTIVENESS OF INTERACTIVE COMPUTER SYSTEMS. UNFORTUNATELY, MMI DESIGN FLAWS USUALLY ARE NOT UNCOVERED UNTIL LATE IN THE IMPLEMENTATION PHASE WHEN THEIR CORRECTION IS VERY EXPENSIVE OR IMPOSSIBLE. RAPID PROTOTYPING TOOLS HAVE BEEN USE TO ALLEVIATE THESE PROBLEMS BY ALLOWING MMI DESIGNS TO BECOME VISIBLE AND MODIFIABLE ...

COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY ASSOCIATES (CTA) PROPOSES TO INVESTIGATE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR A PROFESSIONAL WORKSTATION TO BE USED BY ENGINEERS AT WRIGHT-PATTERSON, TO DEFINE ALTERNATIVES FOR MIGRATION OF MICRO COMPUTERS INTO PROFESSIONAL WORKSTATIONS, AND TO RECOMMEND A PLAN FOR IMPLEMENTING THIS MIGRATION. ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED WILL INCLUDE THE INTEGRATION OF OFFTHE-SHELF HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE AS WELL AS ...

CHARACTERIZING THE OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF INDIVIDUAL AEROSOL PARTICLES IN THE AEROSPACE ENVIRONMENT REQUIRED TO ALLOW PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF OPTICAL AND INFRARED SYSTEMS AND OPTICAL OBSCURATION COUNTERMEASURES. THERE EXISTS A NEED TO DEVELOP NEW INSTRUMENTATION WHICH CAN AUTOMATICALLY AND REMOTELY (IN-SITU) MEASURE AND RECORD THE TOTAL SCATTERING PATTERN FROM INDIVIDUAL AIRBORNE PARTICLES OF DIFFE ...

THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO TEST THE FEASIBILITY OF SPEAKER VERIFICATION TECHNOLOGY AS A VIABLE METHOD TO PROVIDE RAPID AND ACCURATE PERSONNEL IDENTIFICATION. IN ADDITION, THE ADAPTATION OF A NELSON AND JOHNSON ENGINEERING DESIGNED PERSONNEL LOCATOR WILL BE STUDIED FOR POSSIBLE USE IN PERSONNEL LOCATION IN A DEEP BASE APPLICATION. THE IDENTIFICATION AND LOCATION SYSTEM WILL BE COMPUTER CONTR ...

IN THIS PHASE I EFFORT WE PROPOSE TO DEMONSTRATE THE TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY OF A PASSIVE REMOTE SENSING INFRARED DEVICE THAT ACCURATELY AND IN REAL-TIME PROFILES ATMOSPHERICTEMPERATURE, HUMIDITY, AND REFRACTIVE INDEX. THIS PROPOSED EFFORT IS A LOGICAL EXTENSION OF A PREVIOUSLY SUBMITTED THEORETICAL AND NUMERICAL ALGORITHM STUDY WITH THE ARMY RESEARCH OFFICE. SINCE THEIR CHARTER IS FOR BASIC THEORET ...
