THE OBJECTIVE IS TO CREATE GROUP DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM (GDSS) SOFTWARE WHICH PERMITS ARMY PERSONNEL TO QUICKLY MAKE DECISIONS, EVEN WHEN THE DECISION MAKERS ARE LOCATED AROUND THE WORLD. THE SOFTWARE WOULD OPERATE ON PERSONAL COMPUTERS, SUCH AS THE ZENITH 148, AND BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE ARMY'S WORD-PROCESSORS AND OTHER SOFTWARE. SPECIFIC PHASE I OBJECTIVES WILL BE TO DEFINE AND PROGRAM THE FEATU ...

Effective aircrew teamwork is critical for insuring mission success and reducing accidents. There is a requirement for a tool that helps aircrew trainers conduct standardized evaluations of teamwork performance. In the proposed research, a portable Instructor's Associate will be designed and constructed to help standardize the measurement process and provide assistance to the instructor. A vari ...

We will develop high-temperature high-power mid-infrared (2-5 micron) diodes based on InAs/InGaSb/InAlSb type-II quantum wells. In pulse mode operation, we will investigate the pulse-to-pulse reproducibility with repetition rates > 50 KHz. Recently, we have demonstrated room-temperature optically pumped lasers from 2.8 to 4.5 microns based on InAs/InGaSb/InAs/AlSb type-II quantum wells. For 4.5 ...

THE LONG TERM OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT A GENERAL SELF-EXTENSIBLE KNOWLEDGE BASED REASONING TECHNOLOGY SPECIFICALLY TARGETED FOR USE IN COMPREHENSIVE MANUFACTURING AND MANAGEMENT OPERATIONS SYSTEMS. THIS TECHNOLOGY SHOULD PROVIDE MANUFACTURING AND MANAGEMENT OPERATIONS SYSTEMS WITH AN AUTOMATED REASONING MECHANISM FOR INFERRING THE POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCE, OF ACTIONS AND ...

Soldiers using the ABCS systems do not have on-line access to doctrinal publications and context sensitive tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPS) to aid them in their mission planning process. These TTPs should support the users current task by retrieving information based on the force affiliation and situation. Doctrine, missions, policies, and strategies are some of the considerations in g ...

The command and control (C2) architecture is currently a static client-server environment allowing applications to communicate with their data and in some cases with other applications. The C2 architecture of tomorrow needs to be more diverse, providing for distributed objects to interact with many plug-and play applications. Each platform should be capable of being dynamically configured to run ...

THE PROPOSED PROJECT INVOLVES A THOROUGH FEASIBILITY STUDY WHICH WILL RELY HEAVILY ON EXISTING TEST DATA, ANALYSES AND COMPUTER CODES ALREADY APPLICABLE TO THE MEASURE OF QUANTITY-DISTANCE RATIO, AND WHICH WILL LEAD DIRECTLY INTO DETAILED DESIGNS FOR FIELD TESTING FOR PHASE II. SPECIFICALLY, A LITERATURE SEARCH FOR RELATED TEST DATA, ANALYSIS METHODS, AND COMPUTER CODES WILL BE CONDUCTED; RELATED ...

Beam Technology Corporation is prepared to develop an innovative personal Radio frequency Radiation Dosimeter based on concepts originally enunciated by Dr. Johnathan Kiel, The approach will use a technology that promises to be much more versatile than currently available methods of measurement, which often employ E-field probes and meters. The objective is to use a novel chemical, Diazoluminomel ...

THE OPPORTUNITY EXISTS TO EXTEND THE CAPABILITIES OF THE USAF ADVANCED DYNAMIC ANTHROPOMORPHIC MANIKIN (ADAM) WHICH HAS BEEN DEVELOPED TO ASSESS THE INFLUENCE OF HUMAN RESPONSES ON EJECTION SEAT PERFORMANCE. THE MORE REALISTIC ARTICULATIONS AND VERTICAL SPINAL RESPONSE OF ADAM CAN BE SUPPLEMENTED WITH ADDITIONAL INSTRUMENTATION TO ALLOW THE DEFINITION OF INJURY PROBABILITY ASSESSMENT CRITERIA. SIN ...

Biodynamic Research Corp (BRC) proposes to conduct a research study aimed at measuring and modeling dynamic gas flows and pressures in the human lung in response to rapid decompression. The program would produce new research on flow-pressure response (impedance) of the human lung to dynamic overpressure at ground level and altitude, both with and without imposed breathing resistance; attempt to e ...
