THE COMPLEXITY OF THE NEXT-GENERATION FAULT-TOLERANT ELECTRONIC SYSTEM DESIGN TASKS WILL REQUIRE INTERACTIVE ACCESS TO THE RELIABILITYPREDICTION TOOLS IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THE DESIRED RELIABILITY GOALS. THIS PROPOSAL ADDRESSES THE INTEGRATION OF THE AFHRL DEVELOPED MISSION RELIABILITY MODEL (MIREM) AND THE AVAILABLE CIRCUIT DESIGN PROGRAMS IN AN ENGINEERING WORKSTATION ENVIRONMENT. THE PROPOSED EFF ...

CURRENTLY AVAILABLE AUTHORING SYSTEMS HAVE BEEN PROVEN EFFECTIVE IN PRODUCING COMPUTER-BASED TRAINING LESSONS CONTAINING SEQUENCES OF TEXT AND GRAPHICS SCREENS THROUGH WHICH THE STUDENT IS GUIDED UNTIL MASTERY IS ACHIEVED. IN A PERSONNEL TRAINING SIMULATION, FAR MORE ADVANCED CAPABILITIES ARE REQUIRED, INCLUDING MULTITASKING, COMMUNICATION WITH EXTERNAL DEVICES, HIGH SPEED DATA ANALYSIS AND GRAPHI ...

IT IS PLANNED TO DEVELOP A WORKSTATION ENVIRONMENT FOR THE ADVANCED THERMAL HYDRAULIC ENERGY NETWORK ANALYZER (ATHENA) CODE TO FACILITATE FUSION REACTOR DESIGN STUDIES. ATHENA HAS A WIDE RANGE OF CAPABILITIES AND IS AN ESSENTIAL TOOL FOR THE STUDY OF FUSION REACTOR DESIGN. THE PERSONAL-COMPUTER (PC)-BASED WORKSTATION ENVIRONMENT FOR ATHENA WILL STREAMLINE AND AUTOMATE THE DEVELOPMENT OF INPUTDECKS ...

THIS PROJECT IS DIRECTED TOWARD DEVELOPING THE SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL INSIGHT NECESSARY FOR EVALUATING THE UTILITY OF A SOLID OXIDE FUEL CELL COMPATIBLE WITH THE DIRECT ELECTROCHEMICAL OXIDATION OF H(2)S. THIS APPROACH, WHICH FORMS THE BASIS OF AN ELECTROCHEMICAL CLAUS-TYPE PROCESS FORSULFUR REMOVAL, WILL STUDY CELLS POSSESSING THE GENERAL CONFIGURATIONS: H(2)S,AS(2)/ZRO(2)(8(W)%Y(2)O(3))/LA(0.8 ...

THE OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT IS TO DESIGN AND PRODUCE A LOW COST PLANAR ARRAY OPERATING AT 94 GHZ WHICH WOULD USE A COMBINATION OF Z-CUT QUARTZ MICROSTRIP FOR THE RADIATING ELEMENTS AND LOW LOSS INSULAR GUIDE LINES FOR THE FEED NETWORK. THE INITIAL PHASE I WORK WILL CONCENTRATE ON THE ANALYSIS OF THE PROXIMITY COUPLING BETWEEN THE INSULAR GUIDE FEED LINE AND THE MICROSTRIP PATCHES. THE FIRST PHASE ...

A CONCEPT FOR A WIRELESS V-BAND COMMAND/RESPONSE DATA LINK IS DESCRIBED WHICH WOULD HAVE MAJOR IMPACT ON COMMUNICATIONS IN AIRCRAFT AND SUPPORT ELECTRONIC SUBSYSTEMS (INCLUDING MISSILES AND SUBMUNITIONS). THE WIRELESS LINK CAN BE USED TO REPLACE HARD-WIRED CABLES OR DATA BUS (TO SAVE WEIGHT AND IMPROVE RELIABILITY) AND/OR AS A REDUNDANT BACKUP TO IMPROVE WEAPON AIRCRAFT SURVIVABILITY IN EVENT OF B ...
