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 ...

MICROCOMPUTER SYSTEMS HAVE THE POTENTIAL OF AIDING THE OPERATIONS RESEARCH PROFESSIONALS ENGAGED IN LOGISTICS APPLICATION IN THE NAVY AND IN OTHER MILITARY, GOVERNMENT AND COMMERCIAL OPERATIONS. THE COMPLEXITY OF THE PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED AND THE LIMITATIONS OF MICROCOMPUTER HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE HAVE PREVENTED THEIR USE IN THE PAST. THE PROPOSED EXPLORATORY DEVELOPMENT WILL CONCENTRATE ON THE SOFT ...

THIS PROGRAM PROPOSES A UNIQUE PROCESS FOR PRODUCING O2 OR O2-ENRICHED AIR USING A PATENTED GROUP OF ORGAN- OMETALLIC AMINE-MANGANESE COMPLEXES. THESE COMPLEXES REVERSIBLY ADSORB AND DESORB O2 FROM AIR AND ARE NOT EASILY DEGRADED BY WATER VAPOR OR AMBIENT TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS. THE PLAN IS TO DISSOLVE THESE COMPLEXES IN A SOLVENT PHASE AND FACILITATE TRANSPORT ACROSS A POROUS POLYMERIC MEMBRANE. ...

CRYSTAL GROWTH IS THE ONLY CHEMICAL PROCESS KNOWN WHICH CAN CAUSE SPONATANEOUS RESOLUTION OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS IN THE ABSENCE OF ANY EXTERNAL CHIRAL INFLUENCE. MANY ORGANIC COMPOUNDS, WHETHER CHIRAL OR NOT, ARE KNOWN TO CRYSTALLIZE IN RESOLVED SINGLE CHIRAL CRYSTALS FROM SOLUTION, MELT, OR SUBLIMATION CRYSTALLIZATIONS ON EARTH. WE PROPOSE TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE SPONTANEOUS RESOLUTION PROCESS ALS ...

This proposal is in response to rapid modeling need in our military force. We plan to develop and demonstrate a framework that will allow warfighters to rapidly acquire and edit geospecific terrain databases, including both building exterior and interiors. The output of our models will be in standard 3D format, which can be used in a variety of simulation and training software, including VBS2. We ...
