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 ...

CM SYSTEMS WHICH ARE MULTI-SPECTRAL IN NATURE ARE GOING TO BE REQUIRED TO PROTECT ARMY AIRCRAFT IN ADVANCED SCENARIOS DUE TO THE INCREASED SOPHISTICATION AND UTILIZATION OF THE TOTAL SPECTRUM BY ENEMY AIR DEFENSE NETWORKS. IN ORDER TO OPTIMIZE THE ARMY'S POSITION IN THIS MATTER A VITAL NEED EXISTS TO PERFORM A COMPREHENSIVE ENGINEERINGLEVEL ANALYSIS OF ELECTRONIC BATTLEFIELD. IN ORDER TO DETERMINE ...

THE FEASIBILITY STUDY INCLUDES R&D TASKS TO INVESTIGATE THE FOLLOWING: A) WORKPIECE CLASSIFICATION; B) WORKPIECE LOCATION AND ORIENTATION, AND C) WORKPIECE SURFACE CONDITION. THESE TASKS INCLUDES PREPROCESSING OF REAL-TIME VIDEO DATA FROM A SPECIAL 3-D VISION SYSTEM, AND APPLICATIONS OF ADVANCED COMPUTER VISION METHODOLOGIES TO CARRY OUT THE INVESTIGATION OF A), B), AND C).

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 ...

A BASIC RESEARCH PROGRAM IS PROPOSED TO STUDY CAPACITIVE ENERGY STORAGE AT 77 K BASED ON CADMIUM-LEAD NIOBATE CERAMICS FOR TWO REASONS: (1) THE DIELECTRIC CONSTANT IS UNUSUALLY LARGE AT THESE TEMPERATURES (\8000); AND (2) THE FERROELECTRIC TRANSITION CAN BE COMPOSITIONALLY ADJUSTED BELOW 77 K. TWO ADVANTAGES ACCRUE: (1) THE STORED ENERGY DENSITY AT 77 K IS MAXIMIZED; AND (2) ON DISCHARGE (I.E., E ...
