As autonomous vehicles journey down the path of increasing competence, it is necessary for humans to be able to

The design of a High Frequency Motion Simulators (HFMS) is required to satisfy the Hardware-in-the-Loop (HWIL) testing objectives for current defensive missile systems. This development will provide a unique 6-DOF-motion simulator currently not availableand extend the capabilities of current Flight Motion Simulators (FMS). The introduction of a unique on-cascaded gimbal configuration offers the ...

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 ...

This is a Phase II proposal to build a prototype imaging spectro-polarimeter for the measurement of spectral and polarization signatures of both targets and backgrounds for improved target recognition capability for laser radar. The proposed innovativesnapshot imaging spectro-polarimeter provides spectral and polarization information in the 1.25 to 2.08 micron spectral region for each pixel in on ...

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 ...

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 ...

The small spacecraft power system proposed in this program provides significant advantages over state-of-the-art systems including: (1) use of a high efficiency (25%-35%) AMTEC, static power conversion system, (2) reduced planform area, and vulnerability, (3) mass efficient phase change material for thermal energy storage during solar eclipse periods, (4) high reliability with no vibration, (5) si ...
