Given two closely related pieces of software X and Y, where Y differs from X through a number of small but important (from a security point of view) modifications that were done to Y, the

Department of Defense is interested in development of small fighter-like vehicle for combined underwater and surface motions at high speeds. The vehicle requires carry weapons under water. The weapons may generate high additional drag, and drag reductionis the key aspect in design of its hybrid hull. Hydrofoil removes missiles from water at highest speeds, but the problem is to reduce the drag bef ...

Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) is a powerful technique for detecting and identifying target analytes, such as CBW agents, even at very small concentrations. However, traditional SERS techniques often suffer from poor reliability andreproducibility. Nanoparticle-based SERS has a tremendous advantage over bulk-surface SERS due to a very high amount of surface area for interaction in a ...

Military aircraft are largely constructed from special aluminum alloys, which typically have secondary precipitate phases that substantially improve mechanical strength. However, these regions also promote corrosion in such common environmental conditionsas acid rain, saltwater, and thermal cycling. The problem is significant enough that the U.S. Air Force expends approximately $1 billion per year ...

Complex engineered systems involve a broad spectrum of technologies and interactive subsystems that must work synergistically in order to achieve the mission goals. The design of such complex and large-scale systems necessarily involves the collaborativeefforts of numerous geographically dispersed groups and design teams associated with private companies, government laboratories, and/or universiti ...

We propose to research the use of a hit point decoy, attached to the body of aircraft to increase the survivability of aircraft from sholder launched aint-aircraft missiles. The hit point decoy will radiate infrared energy that will cause the attackingmissile todeviate its course away from critical aircraft areas and instead, impact the aircraft at a hardened, less critcal point where the aircraf ...

ADIABATICS, INC. IS PLEASED TO PROPOSE A RESEARCH PROGRAM TO DEVELOP A NOVEL "COMPACT, MINIMUM NOISE, AUXILIARY POWER UNIT (APU) FOR LIGHTWEIGHT VEHICLES." THE APU USES A COMMERCIAL DIESEL ENGINE AND AN ADVANCED GENERATOR AND NOVEL COOLING TECHNIQUES TO MEET THE STATED REQUIREMENTS. THE KEY PERSONNEL AT ADIABATICS AND SYNCHROTEK ARE WELL AWARE OF THE NEED TO REDUCE THE SIZE AND WEIGHT OF APU SYSTE ...
