In the proposed effort, we will leverage this extensive experience and capabilities to realize a frequency agile mmW radiometer that can cover the range of DC-110 GHz and can be scaled to DC-200 GHz under Phase II. Ours is a photonic system that multiplies and up-coverts a low-frequency reference signal onto an optical carrier (laser) using EO modulation, then uses the modulation sidebands to inj ...

Transit Agency Information required for managing Service centers on resources and assets that need to be available to operate the transit service as designed. An opportunity exists to design an Integrated Framework providing Service delivery and Maintenance Management Information to quantify the reliability and availability of the assets. This framework will incorporate modeling of the asset inven ...

Training in the symptoms of Spatial Disorientation (SD) has shown to be valuable in aiding pilots to recognize its onset and provide a means for mitigating its effects, but such demonstrations have traditionally been associated with specialized equipment and devices. Since the vast majority of pilots for the commercial aviation jet fleet are trained (or recertified) on 6-degree-of-freedom (DOF) h ...

PRIVATE INVESTMENTS IN TRANSPORTATION CAN BE PROFITABLE. THE HORIZONTAL DEVELOPMENT PROCESS (HDP), EMPLOYING A SPECIALIZED FORM OF PEOPLE-MOVER AS A HORIZONTAL ELEVATOR (H*E), MAXIMIZES THE DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL, REDUCES THE RISK OF HIGH COSTS OR LOW INVESTMENT RETURN. AN HDP GUIDE WITH INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL APPRAISALS INCLUDING PROFORMA DATA AND PRELIMINARY UTAG (URBAN TRANSPORTATION ACTION GRANT ...

THE FEASIBILITY OF BUILDING A PERSONAL COMPUTER MODEL OF THEEVACUATION PROCESS WILL BE STUDIED, USING AN EXPERIMENTAL MODEL DEVELOPED BY GOURARY ASSOCIATES INC. THE RESULTING MODEL WILL PERMIT THE STUDY AND VISUALIZATION OF PASSENGER MOVEMENTS DURING EVACUATION. IT WILL ALSO ALLOW THE STUDY OF THE EFFECTS OF CROWDING, FIRE, OBSTRUCTIONS, AND OTHER EFFECTS DURING THE EVACUATION PROCESS. THE MODEL W ...

THIS PROJECT IS BASED ON THE BELIEF THAT AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLTRAINING IS INDEED A TASK THAT COULD BENEFIT GREATLY FROM THE ADDITION OF SPEECH TECHNOLOGY. THIS PROPOSAL IS ALSO BASED ON THE BELIEF THAT THIS APPLICATION REQUIRES VERY CAREFUL INTEGRATION BEING AWARE OF THE SPECIFIC LIMITATIONS AND CAPABILITIES OF THE AVAILABLE TECHNOLOGIES. WE OFFER BOTH EXTENSIVE RESEARCH EXPERIENCE WITH AIR TRAFFICC ...

To assist with the National Geodetic Survey’s federal mandate to provide accurate positioning—including heights—to all federal non-military mapping activities in the USA, Aurora Flight Sciences proposes to integrate a gravimetry payload on a unmanned aerial system (UAS). Potential options include using either an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or an optionally piloted aircraft (OPA). An OPA ...
