MONOSTATIC RADAR SYSTEMS USING SPACE-TIME ADAPTIVE PROCESING (STAP) HAVE BEEN SIMULATED IN DETAIL AND SHOWN TO PROVIDE LARGE IMPROVEMENTS IN MOVING TARGET DETECTION. AND TRACKING CAPABILITY. THE PROPOSED STUDY WILL APPLY STAP TECHNOLOGY TO BISTATIC RADARS WITH AIRBORNE RECEIVERS AND AIRBORNE OR STATIONARY TRANSMITTERS. CANCELLATION OF CLUTTER IN A BISTATIC RADAR IS COMPLICATED BY THE RAPIDLY VARYI ...

INNOVATIVE APPROACHES ARE PROPOSED FOR ANALYTICAL INVESTIGATION AND EVALUATION IN A PHASE I EFFORT TO DEVELOP MULTIPATH AND CLUTTER SUPPRESSION TECHNIQUES FOR LOW SURFACE GRAZING ANGLE CMW AND MMW RADAR DIRECT OR DIFFERENTIAL GUIDANCE OF A MISSILE TO A TARGET IN THEATER MISSILE DEFENSE APPLICATIONS. THE RADAR IS EITHER MISSILE-BONE OR SITUATED IN THE MISSILE LAUNCH AREA OR ON THE LAUNCH PLATFORM. ...

1 We propose to develop and test a prototype algorithm to quantitiatively measure visibility over high albado surface such as land. The computer code will be based on the technique of analyzing the two dimesional spatial frequency power spactrum obtained from subregions of high resolution visible imagery data. To incure computational efficiency, spatial power spectra will be evaluated employing st ...

THE PRESENT WORK DEALS WITH THE DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT, TESTING AND IMPLE MENTATION OF A REAL-TIME MONITORING SYSTEM TO DETERMINE THE PARTICLE S IZE DISTRIBUTION OF SOOT. THE NOVEL TECHNIQUE SHALL MAKE USE OF MULTI WAVELENGTH ANALYSIS OF THE LIGHT SCATTERING PROPERTIES OF THE PARTICLE S TO INFER THE PARTICLE INDEX OF REFRACTION, THE SOOT NUMBER DENSITY A ND THE PARTICLE SIZE DISTRIBUTION. THE PHASE I ...

AEROBALLISTIC RANGES PROVIDE INVALUABLE DATA FOR DESIGNING AIR DELIVERABLE MUNITIONS AND ARMAMENT. PRESENT METHODS FOR OBTAINING AERODYNAMIC COEFFICIENTS FOR THESE MUNITIONS ARE CUMBERSOME AND TIME CONSUMING. DATA REDUCTION INVOLVES A LONG SEQUENCE OF INDIVIDUAL STEPS WHICH CAN TAKE FROM SEVERAL DAYS TO WEEKS. BECAUSE OF THE SLOW TURN AROUND TIME, ERRORS ARE NOT CORRECTED DURING THE TEST. THE INEX ...

AETECH WILL PRODUCE AN AUTOMATED TOOL TO ASSIST IN THE DESIGN AND DEVE LOPMENT OF COURSEWARE FOR INTELLIGENT COMPUTER ASSISTED INSTRUCTION SYSTEMS USING ENHANCED HUMAN-COMPUTER INTERFACES. THE AUTOMATED TOOL, CALLED THE INTELLIGENT COURSEWARE DEVELOPER, WILL USE APPROVED AIR FORCE METHODS OF INSTRUCTIONAL SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT (ISD) TO ALLOW THE AIR FORCE INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGNER TO BUILD A COURSE USIN ...
