For efficient space operations, and for effective space force enhancement to terrestrial forces, Aerospace Operations Center (AOC) personnel must be continuously aware of the status of on-orbit assets, payload coverage, reacting to system degradations andfailures, and responding to intolerant environments for satellites. To complete the situational awareness picture, there is also the need to depi ...

Current guidance and control technology is recognized as an impediment to the common military, civil, and commercial goal of achieving reliable, low-cost, aircraft-type operations into space. A team lead by Guided Systems Technologies, Inc. hassuccessfully demonstrated the key components of a fully adaptive ascent guidance and control system that offers a high degree of mission flexibility, fault ...

Oceanit has successfully shown in Phase I that highly accurate (sub-arcsecond) observations are obtainable utilizing a relatively low-cost COTS system. These highly accurate angular observations can be introduced into the orbit determination process as asupplement to high-quality range data. These improved angular observations help resolve the geometric ambiguity of range-only orbit determinatio ...

The battlefield of the future will be a `digital battlefield' - a place dominated by unmanned air, land, and sea combat vehicles, precision guided smart weapons, and real-time networked communications. The unmanned vehicle, whether operating on air, land,or sea provides force multiplication, lower costs, and reduced risk of casualties. As they exist today, the miniature autonomous munitions act ...

The MolecularSensor Biotechnology Couples Aptameric 'Antibodies of the Future' with a Synthetically-Modified Laser and RF-Excitable Luminescent Biopolymer Capabl ...

Technology Resourse International Corporation's (TRI's) breakthrough lens design and molding technology has the potential to produce wraparound laser eye protection and safety lenses that deliver superior vision, extended peripheral vision, enhanced safetyand improved comfort. These lenses will be significantly superior to any lenses currently available.The proposed manufacturing process that inc ...

A twenty-fold increase in the telemetry data rates over the past 10 years, coupled with the reduction in available spectrum and the proliferation of various wireless systems, makes it necessary to increase the efficiency and quality of aeronauticaltelemetry (TM) systems. The objective of this program is to develop affordable directional airborne TM antennas to functionally replace existing omni-d ...
