THE OBJECTIVE OF THE PROPOSED EFFORT IS TO REDUCE THE SIZE, WEIGHT, AND COST OF THE RELAY OPTICS OF THE AIRCRAFT HEAD UP DISPLAY (HUD), BY REPLACING IT WITH TRANSMISSION HOLOGRAPHIC LENSES. HOLOGRAPHIC LENSES ARE VERY LIGHT AND CAN BE MANUFACTURED AT VERY LOW COSTS. APPLICATIONS OF HOLOGRAPHIC LENSES TO HUD WERE LIMITED IN THE PAST, DUE TO WIDE SPECTRAL BAND OF THE HUD - CATHODE RAY TUBE (CRT). HO ...

THERE ARE MANY MILITARY AND COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS WHERE VERY HIGH SPEED AND HIGH RESOLUTION SIGNAL PROCESSING, COMPUTING, IMAGE PROCESSING AND VISION SYSTEMS ARE DESIRABLE. CURRENT SYSTEMS ARE SEVERELY LIMITED BY DEVICES THAT REQUIRE RELATIVELY LONG TIMES TO GET INFORMATION INTO AND OUT OF THE SYSTEM. APPLICATIONS SUCH AS SURVEILLANCE, TRACKING, PROCESS MONITORING, QUALITY CONTROL AND MANY OTHER ...

Freestyle Technology, Inc. proses to design an build a six-camera video imaging device for use in navigation research. The individual cameras will be attached to two-meter tethers to allow for flexible placement on a variety of platforms. All cameraswill be genlocked to a common signal to assure that corresponding pixels in each camera are sampled at the same time. A user interface will be prov ...

Freestyle Technologies, Inc. proposes to perform exploratory research in the area of munition-deployed microprobes. The baseline microprobe will consist of simple acoustic and sesmic sensors and will be deployed by an autonomous munition at locations ofinterest. Once deployed, the microprobes will form an ad hoc wireless network and passively monitor for targets. The microprobes will signal the ...

The overall goal of the proposed research is to develop a comprehensive, efficient, and well-validated model for the prediction of the shape and thermal history of components manufactured using Laser Additive Manufacturing (LAM) processes. The proposedmodel will use a combined Eulerian-Lagrangian treatment for analyzing the interactions between the gas and particle phases, and the laser beam. The ...

THIS PROPOSAL WILL DETERMINE THE MERIT AND FEASIBILITY OF A RECOMMENDED METHODOLOGIES (WHICH BEST LINK THE ADA DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT, WITH THE RAPID PROTOTYPING DEVELOPMENT PROCESS ASSOCIATED WITH AI APPLICATIONS THAT ARE WRITTEN IN EITHER LISP OR PROLOG LANGUAGE) BY MAPPING BETWEEN APSE AND ASE AND THE MAPPING OF THE SUPPORT ENVIRONMENT INTO THE ADA SUPPORT ENVIRONMENT. THE SECOND SUB-PROBLEM I ...

Diode laser present one of the most challenging thermal problems in industry. The small footprint and very high power levels combine to create extremely high heat fluxes in the vicinity of the diode. Tese heat flux levels raise the diode temperature,leading to lower lasing efficiency, wavelength shifts, and reduced diode lifetime. The cooling problem becomes even more difficult when combined wi ...
