"21st Century Systems, Inc. (21CSI) proposes to continue its research and realization of an agent-based decision support system, EXLOG21, for logistics and maintenance operations. In Phase I we researched the base theoretical underpinnings for expeditionarylogistics and constructed a convincing autonomic logistics (AL) system prototype (interfaced to a notionally simulated subset of an instrumente ...

THIS PROJECT, IF SUCCESSFUL, SHOULD PROVIDE: A GENERAL MODEL AND PROCEDURE FOR USE IN DESIGNING PIEZOELECTRIC SENSORS -HYDROPHONES, ACCELEROMETERS, ETC.--WHICH WOULD ENABLE THE DESIGNER OF A SENSOR TO PREDICT ITS SENSITIVITIES TO THE STIMULUS FOR WHICH IT WAS DESIGNED, AND TO EXTRANEOUS STIMULI WHICH GENERATE INTERFERING SIGNALS; INFORMATION ON HOW THE CHOICE OF PIEZOELECTRIC MATERIAL AND MODE OF ...

"The Patuxent River Naval Air Warfare Center (Aircraft Division)is working towards the completion of a personal double hearingprotection (DHP) communication system for use in extreme noiseenvironments. This Phase II program has been designed to finishthe identification of best-possible performance for DHPcommunication systems, followed by successful prototyping of asystem that will be available f ...

"This project will develop and implement in embedded hardware the capability needed to configure pre hit, a component level automation infrastructure.This approach optimizes survivability using models of damage or casualty scenarios. This capability willbe demonstrated in a laboratory hardware in the loop simulation. This project leverages the results of several other ongoing research efforts al ...

THE OBJECTIVE OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT IS TO ASSEMBLE AVAILABLE SOFTWARE PROGRAMS INTO AN INTELLIGENCT RDT&E MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM (MIS) FOR PERSONAL COMPUTERS.

FATIGUE LIFE EXPENDITURE DETERMINATIONS UNDER THE SAFE PROGRAM DO NOT ACCOUNT FOR FLIGHT VARIATIONS FOR DIFFERENT MISSIONS, OR EMPLOY STATE-OF-THE-ART SEQUENCE-ACCOUNTABLE FATIGUE ANALYSES. THE PROPOSED PROGRAM WILL INVESTIGATE THE FEASIBILITY OF UTILIZING THE FLIGHT PURPOSE CODE DATA TO DEVELOP CORRELATIONS BETWEEN FLIGHT PURPOSE CODES, GROSS WEIGHTS, AND FLIGHT MANEUVERS SPECTRA; AND ESTABLISH A ...

DEVELOPMENTS IN THE SCIENCE AND ADHESION AND ADHESIVE BOND- ING HAVE LET TO INCREASED EFFICIENCY IN THE USE OF FOREST PRODUCTS. HOWEVER, TO IMPROVE THE PRODUCTIVITY OF FABRICA- TION OPERATIONS AND TO EXPAND THE USE OF WOOD-BASED MATERIALINTO APPLICATIONS IN WHICH IMPROVED SHEAR AND BENDING STRENGTH INCREASE RELIABILITY AND STRUCTURAL LIFE, IT IS NECESSAY TO INCREASE THE INTERLAMINAR BOND STRENGTH ...

THE PRESENT TREND IN HUMAN/COMPUTER INTERFACES IS THE USE OF VISUAL, ICONIC MANIPULATION FOR COMPUTER CONTROL. THE APPLICATION OF A VISUAL INTERFACE CAN BE ADAPTED TO USE IN PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES. THE PROPOSED RESEARCH AND TESTING PROGRAM WILL BE CARRIED OUT TO DETERMINE IF A DIAGRAMMATIC PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE PROVIDES AS MUCH PRODUCTIVITY AND AS HIGH A QUALITY OF SOFTWARE AS TEXTUAL LANGUAGES. THE ...

"The 3 inch Acoustic Device, Countermeasure (ADC) MK2 is theNavy's standard torpedo countermeasure which has been deployedon submarines for over 20 years. The Mobile ADC MK2 device iscurrently under development and will provide significanttactical value in putting as much seperation between thelaunching submarine and the countermeasure as possible. Inorder to maximize the mobility effectiveness ...
