The objective of this Phase-II proposal is to develop Alameda Applied Sciences Corporation's (AASC) Coaxial Energetic Deposition (CED) process to increase the life of gun barrels by depositing a protective refractory metal coating to the inside of thebarrel that can outperform and replace the electroplated chrome coatings that are presently used. This effort extends and builds upon AASC's promisin ...

The Phase II compact, acoustic-model, execution server (CAMES) System will demonstrate that an entire CASS application can be mapped into FPGA-based GRAB modules and executed at 50 times that of a single microprocessor. The objective is superior ratingembedded metrics -- cost, performance, power, cooling requirements, volume and reliability when compared to microprocessor approaches. The CAMES Sy ...

Bonded repair is a preferred technique for repairing localized damage in aircraft structures like Apache, Chinook and Comanche that can efficiently restore the ultimate load capability of the structure. However, the effectiveness of the repair depends uponthe integrity of the bonding interface between the repair patch and the host structure. Currently there are no inspection methods that can provi ...

The proposed project will develop prototype software for a Stochastic Neural Network for Missile Reliability Prognostics. A neural network model will be developed to predict missile reliability based on the environmental history of particular missiles.Prediction training will be employed to predict missile reliability at future times, based only on training data available at the current time. Pr ...

In Phase I we determined that available ANAM data, while extensive, was inadequate for normative purposes because of wide variations in testing conditions, test battery configuration, and subject demographics. In Phase II, we will complete our survey ofexisting data to define a general purpose ANAM test battery (ANAMgp). We will then collect normative data on the ANAMgp battery from 60 demograph ...

The launch and recovery of manned and autonomous aircraft are strongly affected by the ship motion resulting from the ocean wind and wave environment, the ship induced airwake, and aircraft interaction with the ship dynamics and the ship airwake. We propose to develop an advanced aircraft/ship dynamics/ship unsteady airwake interaction modeling and simulation tool for the purpose of design, te ...
