The proposed program utilizes advanced radar technology to develop a fuze for penetrating weapons. The technology is the result of Aeres efforts in the analysis and design of Ground Penetrating Radars. The unique approach utilizes millimeter-sized impulse diodes to develop extremely short microwave pulses, and digital processing to characterize the return signal. A test program will provide dat ...

The objective of this project is to implement and demonstrate a comprehensive physical model and practical computation tool for predicting/analyzing soot formation due to hydrocarbon-fuel combustion is liquid-propellant rockets. A state-of-science approach is proposed for understanding/ quantifying soot formation mechanisms/rates and for investigating/ designing methods to minimize the mass/numbe ...

Current lithography techniques generally adopted by the semiconductor industry in the U.S. and other nations involve the use of masks which are prepared either by photolithography or by electron beam lithography. The masks consist of a glass plate on which a layer of chrome and another layer of resist are deposited. The resist is developed where it is irradiated and the chrome is etched thus leav ...

The object of this phase I project is to develop and test innovative universal GPS/INS estimators based on an advanced mixed H2/H00 filtering technique. The estimators will be universal in the sense that it will not require custom filter design, while providing robustness to measurement outliers, near sufficiency, minimum variance, noise suppression and mitigation of the effects of large derivati ...

This project will determine the feasibility of developing a mission-information collection, analysis, and reporting system (MICARS) to meet the specific needs of an AF Special Operations Forces (AFSOF) squadron. MICARS will be maintained in a computerized relational database, and will generate tailored reports for squadron leaders, training officers, and system designers. MICARS will capture dat ...

Distributed processing is becoming increasingly important. To support multilevel secure distributed processing, multilevel directory services will be requires. X.500 Directory Service will be particularly important as this will be incorporated in significant commercial systems and will be used in the MISSI program. Trusted database management systems (DBMS) have the potential to form the basis ...
