We live in a three dimensional world, where we can go around an object and observe it from all angles. The current displays: TVs, movie screens, and computer monitors are all two dimensional devices. These displays give us only "flattened" realities. The missing third dimension carries with it tremendous amounts of information that is absolutely vital to the users. ACT has demonstrated the princip ...

INNOVATIVE APPROACHES ARE PROPOSED FOR ANALYTICAL INVESTIGATION AND EVALUATION IN A PHASE I EFFORT TO DEVELOP MULTIPATH AND CLUTTER SUPPRESSION TECHNIQUES FOR LOW SURFACE GRAZING ANGLE CMW AND MMW RADAR DIRECT OR DIFFERENTIAL GUIDANCE OF A MISSILE TO A TARGET IN THEATER MISSILE DEFENSE APPLICATIONS. THE RADAR IS EITHER MISSILE-BONE OR SITUATED IN THE MISSILE LAUNCH AREA OR ON THE LAUNCH PLATFORM. ...

1Innovative techniques for radar high angle resolution are proposed for investigation in a Phase I effort to enable the resolution of the direction of arrival (DOA) of returns from multiple targets that fall within one beamwidth and within the same range and Doppler Cells. The techniques proposed emphasize the pursuit for optimal utilization of available aperture space, by a combination of arrange ...

The future generation of both military and commercial diesel engines will operate at significantly higher temperatures and pressures than today's engines. The future combat system diesel engine operating parameters demand significant design improvement of in cylinder insulation. Increased cylinder pressure and reduced cooling requirements, heat energy recovery in the exhaust gas by turbo chargin ...

A high-power density, low specific heat rejection diesel engine design for traditional and hybrid future combat system (FCS) vehicle configurations is being proposed. The total propulsion system of the vehicle hybrid configuration will fit the future vehicle assigned space/volume by TACOM's vehicle concept laboratory. The proposed engine will have a high-pressure common rail fuel injection syste ...

Recent world events have highlighted the need for timely and accurate intelligence data to assess threats and combat terror. An unmanned surface vehicle (USV ) can potentially perform intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) missions, provide force protection, hunt for mines in coastal waters or harbors, and provide port security. USVs under development by the Navy are powered by the ...

Field combat load assessment for combat training and combat mission personnel load management is an identified military need. The combat load assessment device or CLAD must meet several requirements not found in off-the-shelf commercial or consumer weighing devices. Weight requirements, accuracy requirements, functional requirements, and cost requirements prohibit the use of currently OTS hardwa ...
