THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS STUDY IS THE DEVELOPMENT OF TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES DESIGNED TO AID IN THE ABILILTY TO DEVELOP DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING SYSTEMS FOR REAL-TIME ENVIRONMENT. THE INITIAL INVESTIGATION WILL FOCUS ON THE DEVELOPMENT AND AND EVALUATION OF INTERCEPTOR MANAGEMENT ALGORITHMS USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE PLANNING TECHNIQUES. THE WORK TO BE PERFORMED DURING PHASE I WILL INCLUDE DEVELOPING AN ...

THIS PROPOSAL CONCERNS THE BASIC RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT REQUIRED TO DEFINE AN OPERATIONS MONITORING ASSISTANT (OMA) WHICH IS INTENDED AS A TOOL FOR ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF CURRENT EVENTS ON A CORPS, OR DIVISION LEVEL OPERATIONS PLAN. THE SYSTEM IS PRINCIPALLY CONCERNED WITH FULFILLING AN INDICATIONS AND WARNING FUNCTION, THAT IS, WITH PREDICTING THE CONSEQUENCES OF IMPORTANT BATTLEFIELD EVENTS I ...

A POWERFUL, NOW IMAGING MODALITY IDEALLY SUITED FOR THIN-SHELLED STRUCTURES BUT CONSIDERABLY MORE GENERAL IN NATURE IS PROPOSED. THE APPROACH IS BASED ON WELL- ESTABLISHED DIGITAL TOMOSYNTHESIS PRINCIPLES AND MODERN REAL-TIME DIGITAL RADIOGRAPHY TECHNIQUES. A SERIES OF COMPONENT RADIOGRAPHS OF A STRUCTURE TAKEN FROM DIFFERENCE ANGLES ARE MANIPULATED ACCORDING TO A RESTORATIVE ALGORITHM TO RECOVER ...

A NEED EXISTS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)-BASED COMPUTER PROGRAM (ALGORITHM) WITH A HEURISTIC DATA BASE, OPERATIVE ON A MILITARIZED 16-BIT MICROPROCESSOR, SUCH AS, INTEL 8086 WHICH WOULD BE RESIDENT ON A COMBAT VEHICLE, FOR THE AUTOMATIC RECOGNITION OF MILITARY TARGETS. TARGET IDENTIFICATION WHICH INVOLVESCOMPLEX HUMAN DECISION MAKING IS NOT VERY RELIABLE WHEN SUCH DECIS ...

A BASIC RESEARCH PROGRAM HAS BEEN INITIATED AT THE ARMANENT RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT CENTER (ARDC) ENCOMPASSING THE FIELDS OF AI AND ROBOTICS FOR APPLICATIONS TO WEAPON PLATFORM AUTOMATION AND FIRE CONTROLSYSTEMS. THE THRUST OF THE PROGRAM IS TO DEVELOP "SYSTEM-BUILD" TOOLSOR SOFTWARE MODULES TO SUPPORT EVOLUTIONARY DEVELOPMENT AND PROTOTYPE DEMONSTRATION OF AN AUTONOMOUS/SEMI-AUTONOMOUS PLATFORM ...

THE ADA LANGUAGE HAS BEEN DESIGNED FOR THE DOD AS A PRIMARY LANGUAGE FOR EMBEDDED SYSTEMS. MANY FEATURES OF ADA TEND TO MAKE EXECUTION OPERATING SYSTEM (OS)-INTENSIVE. THESE ARE I/O, MULTITASKING, EXCEPTION HANDLING, TIMESLICING, AND DYNAMIC STORAGE MANAGEMENT. IN MANY SYSTEMS THESE FUNCTIONS ARE HANDLED BY THE OS COOPERATING WITH THE LANGUAGE RUNTIME SYSTEM (LRS). CALLS TO THE OS GENERALLY FORCE ...

THERE IS A NEED TO DEVELOP FAST, ('REAL-TIME'), THREE DIMENSIONAL (3D) VISION PROCESSING ALGORITHMS APPLICABLE TO MACHINE RECOGNITION OF PATTERNS IN SUPPORT OF FIRM CONTROL SUB-SYSTEMS, CAPABLE OF AUTOMATICALLY RECOGNIZING TARGETS ON THE BATTLEFIELD. TARGET IDENTIFICATION WHICH INVOLVES COMPLEX HUMAN DECISION MAKING IS NOT VERY RELIABLE UNDER THE STRESS OF COMBAT ENGAGEMENT, EVEN THOUGH A DISTINCT ...
