A STUDY IS PROPOSED TO DEVELOP A FIRST-ORDER MODEL FOR ASSESSING COUPLED ABLATION/EROSION RESPONSE OF COMPOSITE MATERIALS USED FOR NOSETIPS AND HEATSHIELDS ON VARIOUS VEHICLES. THIS MODEL WILL BE DEVELOPED FROM AVAILABLE EROSION DATA AND SELECTED SINGLE IMPACT EROSION DATA OBTAINED ON VIRGIN AND CHARRED MATERIALS. UNCERTAINTY BOUNDS FOR VARIOUS MATERIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL INFLUENCE VARIABLES WILL B ...

SPARTA, INC. HEREIN PROPOSES A SBIR PHASE I PROGRAM THAT WILL ANALYTICALLY ESTABLISH THE TECHNICAL MERIT AND FEASIBILITY OF DEVELOP-MENT OF FLEXIBLE OVERLAY CONCEPTS FOR USE IN MARV-COMPATIBLE INFLATABLE DECOYS. THE PROPOSED EFFORT WILL (1) IDENTIFY AND ANALYTICALLY QUANTIFY THE MATERIAL PROPERTIES REQUIRED FOR SUCESSFUL FUNCTIONING OF THE FLEXIBLE OVERLAYS, (2) DEVISE CANDIDATE MATERIALS CONCEPTS ...

THE OBJECTIVES OF THIS PHASE I PROGRAM ARE TO PROVIDE A FIRST ORDER DETERMINATION OF THE UNCERTAINTIES IN DEW PHENOMENOLOGY, BOTH FOR ELECTRONICS AND STRUCTURE, THAT PREVENT ACCURATE PREDICTIONS OF STRATEGIC BALLISTIC MISSILE SYSTEM SURVIVABILITY TO DEW EFFECTS AND THAT PREVENT THE DEVELOPMENT OF COST EFFECTIVE HARDENING MEASURES AND TO PROVIDE A PRELIMINARY IDENTIFICATION OF ANALYTIC AND EXPERIME ...

TECHNIQUES EXIST TO EXTRACT HARMONIC STRUCTURES UNDERLYING SPECIAL SIGNALS THAT ARE UNAVAILABLE FROM THE CONVENTIONAL FFT. THIS PROPOSAL, BASED ON INITIAL RESULTS, IDENTIFIES THOSE TECHNIQUES AND SUGGESTS HOW THEY MAY BE USED FOR SPECIAL TARGET RECOGNITION, AND CERTAIN TYPES OF SPREAD SPECTRUM DETECTION.

THE PROJECT WILL DEFINE THE CAPABILITIES AND DETERMINE THE COST TO DEVELOP A TRANSPORTABLE, REALTIME DYNAMIC SIMULATOR SYSTEM WITH THE FOLLOWING FEATURES: A) DENSE, PULSE-BY-PULSE ENVIRONMENT; B) C3 SYSTEM MODELS FOR BOTH ATTACKER AND DEFENDER FORCES; C) INTERACTIVE PARTICIPATION OF UP TO E.G., 6 PILOTS TO CONTROL THEIR AIRCRAFT, ASSOCIATED AVIONICS AND MISSILE SYSTEMS; D) INTERACTIVE PARTICIPATIO ...

THE PROBLEM OF LOCATING AND STRIKING TARGETS IN A PREVIOUSLY SELECTED AREA OF INTEREST IN ALL WEATHER DAY OR NIGHT OPERATION AND WITH AN OVERALL FOOTPRINT COVERAGE LIMITED TO MOBILE TARGET DEPLOYMENT AREAS HAS BEEN THE ACHILLES' HEEL OF THE CRT CONCEPT SINCE ITS INCEPTION. THE KEY ISSUE IS THAT THERE EXISTS NO SMART ALGORITHM AND INHERENT AI PROCEDURE FOR RELIABLY IDENTIFYING THE MOBILE TARGETS WH ...

QUANTIC INDUSTRIES HAS DEVELOPED FIVE DIFFERENT USD DESIGNS RECOGNIZING THE NEED TO PREVENT INADVERTENT INITIATION OF PROPULSIVE ORDNANCE FUNCTIONS OF THE MISSILE SYSTEM AND SUBSEQUENT WARHEAD MOVEMENT. PRESENT DEVICES ARE HEAVY, SLOW, EXPENSIVE, AND HAVE HUNDREDS OF SMALL, MOVING PARTS. QUANTIC PROPOSES A PROGRAM TO ASSEMBLE, TEST, AND EVALUATE TWO OF THESE DESIGNS, TO ENSURE THE RELIABILITY AND ...

A LIBRARY OF INFORMATION NEEDS TO BE ASSEMBLED IN ONE PLACE WHICH PERMITS ANALYSIS OF THE OPERATIONAL AND TECHNOLOGY PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH ACCURATE DAMAGE ASSESSMENT. IN THIS PROPOSAL WE DESCRIBE THE TECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS REQUIRED FOR THE ASSEMBLY OF THE LIBRARY ELEMENTS AND ALSO A METHODOLOGY WHICH COULD BE CODED TO QUANTITATIVELY ASSESS THE TRADE-OFFS OF THE OPERATIONAL AND TECHNOLOGY REQU ...

THE UNATTENDED PRECISION GRINDING STATION ADDRESSES A NEED FOR HIGH VOLUME, HIGH PRECISION GRINDING OF PROPULSION SYSTEM PARTS. REALIZATION OF THE UNATTENDED GRINDING STATION IS DEPENDENT UPON THE DEVELOP-MENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE RELATIONSHIPS FOR ADAPTIVE CONTROL OF WHEEL-AND-WORKPIECE STIFFNESS, DAMPING, AND COMPLIANCE IN THE GRINDING PROCESS. THE MEASUREMENT AND CONTROL OF THESE PARAMETER ...

AFSTC SEEKS ANALOG TO DIGITAL (A/D) CONVERTERS WHICH CAN OPERATE IN CLOSE VICINITY TO COOLED FOCAL PLANE IMAGERS AT SPEED COMPARABLE TO THEIR NORMAL READOUT SPEED FOR FUTURE SPACE SYSTEMS APPLICATIONS. Q-DOT, INC., PROPOSES A NOVEL 12-BIT, 1 MICROSECOND, 10 MW A/D CONVERTER CHIP WHICH CAN OPERATE AT CRYOGENIC TEMPERATURES (10 DEG K - 40 DEG K) AND IS SMALL ENOUGH (25 X 25 SQ MIL) TO BE LOCATED AT ...
