THIS PROJECT IS TO EXAMINE THE STRUCTURAL REQUIREMENTS OF A MUNITIONS DISPENSER, AND IDENTIFY COMPOSITE MATERIALS AND THEIR APPLICATION TO DESIGNS THAT WOULD REDUCE PARASITIC STRUCTURAL WEIGHT BY 30%. THERE ARE A VARIETY OF FIBERS, RESINS, AND MANUFACTURING PROCESSES THAT HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR ACHIEVING SIGNIFICANT WEIGHT REDUCTION. AS THE PROPERTIES AND COSTS OF COMPLETED COMPONENTS VARYWITH MAN ...

WE PROPOSE THE EXTENSION OF A NEW ANALYTICAL TECHNIQUE, SPUTTER INITIATED RESONANCE IONIZATION SPECTROSCOPY (SIRIS) TO INCLUDE DEPTH PROFILING. THIS PHASE I PROJECT WILL DETERMINE THE FEASIBILTY OF MAKING THIS PRELIMINARY MEASUREMENTS USING THE SIRIS TECHNIQUE ON STANDARD SAMPLES OF SI DOPED ALGAAS AND TI DOPED LINBO3. SUCH SAMPLES ARE OF INTEREST TO THE AIR FORCE'S VHSIC AND ELECTRO-0PTIC DEVELOP ...

N/A

THE INCREASINGLY WIDESPREAD APPLICATION OF MIL-STD-1553B TO MILITARY AND, POTNTIALLY COMMERCIAL AIRCRAFT HAS CREATED A NEED FOR DIGITAL OUTPUT FLOW ANGLE TRANSMITTERS. THE CURRENT MEANS OF GENERATING A DIGITAL OUTPUT FROM EXISITING TRANSDUCERS HAS AN UNFLAVORABLE IMPACT ON SIZE, WEIGHT, POWER, COST AND RELIABILITY. DIGITIAL ENCODING TECHNIQUES ARE BELIEVED TO HAVE BENEFICIAL APPLICATION TO EXISTIN ...

THE POSIDENT CONCEPT USES FINGER PRINT IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM TO COMPARE THE SUBJECTS LIVE FINGER PRINT WITH A STORED FINGER PRINT. THE STORAGE MEDIUM CAN BE ONE OF SEVERAL TYPES. A PHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGEIIS ONE METHOD OF STORAGE. DIGITAL DATA IN PROM IS A SECOND METHOD. THE ID CARD IS PLACED FON THE ELECTRO-OPTICAL CORRELATION DEVICE. A VIDEO CAMERA (VIDICON OR SOLID STATE CCD CAMERA) IS USED TO SCAN ...

ABARIS PROPOSES A DEVELOPMENT EFFORT TO RESEARCH THE PROBLEM AND CONCEPTUALIZE AN EXPERT SYSTEM TOOL FOR JOB AIDING OF THE REPAIR OF ADVANCED COMPOSITE AIRCRAFT STRUCTURE. THE SYSTEM WOULD CONSIST OF EXPERT SYSTEMS SOFTWARE, KNOWLEDGE OF AIRCRAFT COMPOSITE DESIGN, INSPECTION, AND REPAIR TECHNIQUES, STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS TOOLS, COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN ENGINEERING DATA BASE, AND VIDEO DATA STORAGE SYSTE ...

ABARIS PROPOSES TO DEVELOP A PORTABLE EXPERT SYSTEM THAT WILL AID THE FIELD OR ORGANIZATIONAL TECHNICIAN IN THE INTERPRETATION OF ULTRASONIC NON-DESTRUCTIVE INSPECTION FOR THE DETERMINATION OF THE SCOPE, MAGNITUDE, AND IMPACT OF INTERNAL DAMAGE TO COMPOSITE LAMINATE STRUCTURE. ONE OF THE MAJOR PROBLEMS FACING THE AIR FORCE IS THE IMPACT OF NEW ADVANCED COMPOSITE STRUCTURAL MATERIALS ENTERING OPERA ...

ASI PROPOSES A RESEARCH METHODOLOGY FOR THE PURPOSE OF MAXIMIZING THE SEARCH FOR AND THE EXTRACTION OF NEW CONCEPTS AND INNOVATIONS IN THE AREA OF EXTENDING THE CAPABILITIES OF THE HUMAN IN AERONAUTICAL/ SPACE SYSTEMS THROUGH DESIGNING, CONDUCTING, RUNNING, AND MONITORING OF A FUTURISTS/RESEARCH WORKSHOP. THE PROPOSED METHODOLOGY INCLUDES: 1) THE USE OF ASI DESIGNED OR REFINED FUTURIST TOOLS AND M ...

THE RAPID DEVELOPMENT OF BIOTECHNOLOGY HAS MADE IT IMPERATIVE TO DETECT BIOHAZARDS WHICH MAY BE ENCOUNTERED INI STRATEGIC AREAS OF AIR FORCE OPERATIONS. THE RELEASE OF BIOLOGICAL/CHEMICAL WARFARE AGENTS IN A DEEP BASE WOULD PRESENT A SIGNIFICANT THREAT. IN PHASE I OF THIS PROPOSAL, WE WILL DEVELOP A QUALITATIVE METHOD OF DETECTING LOW CONCENTRATIONS OF AIRBORNE CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL AGENTS. THIS ...
