THE DEEP-BASING CONCEPT REQUIRES THE CAPABILITY FOR FAST EGRESS FROM THE UNDERGROUND FACILITY. THIS EGRESS REQUIRES THE USE OF INCLINED RAISE BORERS, THE UTILITY OF WHICH DEPENDS, TO AN EXTENT, ON THE FLOW OF MUCK IN THE INCLINED RAISE. THREE METHODS FOR DETERMINING THE FLOW PROPERTIES OF MUCK ARE THE EMPIRICAL, THE ANALYTICAL, AND THE NUMERICAL. THE WORK PROPOSED HERE OFFERS A COMBINED EMPIRICALN ...

N/A

THE OBJECTIVE OF THE PROPOSED RESEARCH IS THE FEASIBILITY ASSESSMENT OF AN INTEGRATED SUPPORT ENVIRONMENT FOR THE COMPUTER-AIDED DESIGN, ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION OF IMAGE UNDERSTANDING ALGORITHMS FOR THE RECOGNITION OF MAN-MADE OBJECTS FROM IR OR SIMILAR ELECTROOPTICAL SENSORS. IF SUCCESSFUL, THIS RESEARCH WILL PROVIDE A BASIS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SEMI-AUTOMATED SYSTEM BY WHICH 3-D DESCRIPTIONS ...

RECENT VLSI ADVANCES IN THE DOD VHSIC PROGRAM HAVE RESULTED IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF MODULAR MULTIPROCESSOR ARCHITECTURES WHICH CAN BE "MIXED AND MATCHED" TO DESIGN EMBEDDED MILITARY ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS FOR NUMEROUS APPLICATIONS. TO DESIGN WITH THESE MODULES, IT IS NECESSARY TO DO EXTENSIVE TRADEOFF ANALYSES REQUIRING THE DESIGNER TO BE AN EXPERT ON THE DESIGN PROCESS AS WELL AS THE AVAILABLE MODULES ...

A PARTICLE GENERATOR CAPABLE OF GENERATING MONODISPERSE AEROSOL AROUND 0.1 MICROMETER WILL BE DEVELOPED. NUMBER OF PARTICLES GENERATED WILL EXCEED 10 TO THE 12 POWER PARTICLES PER SECOND. THE PRINCIPLE TO BE EXPLORED IS FLUID ENERGY GRINDING PRINCIPLE, COMMONLY USED TO GRIND BULK SOLIDS IN CHEMICAL INDUSTRY. THE PROJECT WILL INCLUDE AERODYNAMIC PARTICLE SIZE MEASUREMENT USING AERODYNAMIC PARTICLE ...

ABSTRACT: An ability to reduce the weight of cables has the potential to provide significant cost savings, reduce maintenance and improve reliability of satellites. The costs of developing and producing satellites are linearly proportional with the satellite"s weight, with each kilogram costing around $1 million when delivery-to-space costs are included. With global satellite launches expected to ...

The objective of this proposal is to develop Selective Availability Anti-Spoofing Module (SAASM) compliant GPS receiver for Geosynchronous Earth Orbit (GEO) applications. In this proposal, we explore an approach to design the GEO GPS SAASM receiver based on improved techniques for signal acquisition (or detection) and then signal tracking (and demodulation) of weak GPS signals. GPS signals availa ...

ABSTRACT:Emergence and feasibility for flexible body-worn electronics and particularly medical patches requires high performance electronics capability.The problem is that these new technologies must have flexible and conformal physical formats and conventional electronic components are not in any way flexible. In the CLAS Phase I program, a new flexible high-performance manufacturing and material ...

ABSTRACT: To provide reliably secure communications, development of practical quantum optical devices for ground-to-space quantum key distribution is a necessity. The overall goal of this Air Force effort is to develop and deliver a single photon source based on heralding to indicate when a photon has been generated. The proposed device will produce single photons on demand with high efficiency ...
