The work described herein is designed to take the two unique switch technologies invented in Phase I to the technology level necessary for manufacturing to customer"s specifications. The single-shot explosive driven dielectric puncture switch employs a unique electrically initiated explosive primer developed for applications in firearms and through modification uses the gases generated on detonati ...

A technique that enables rapid high fidelity SAR scene generation is proposed. Results of Phase I have shown the proposed technique superior to current convolution methods. The technique will be optimized and tested for the AMRDEC common scene generator. A stand-alone product for commercialization will be specified and prototyped.

Applied Quantum Technologies proposes the development of a snapshot Raman spectral imager for chemical imaging applications with a 1-5 meter standoff. Standoff chemical imaging methods are typically point-based, making scan times impractical for situations where a wide area needs to be surveyed. The high spectral resolution needed to take advantage of the specificity of Raman spectroscopy limits t ...

With the ongoing involvement of computers in all facets of modern society, both private and public organizations increasingly rely on computer networks to support key portions of their critical infrastructure. Consequently, those networks contain increasingly more sensitive information, making them prime targets for would-be attackers. The goal of a typical intrusion detection system (IDS) is to p ...

Analysis of chemical samples in the field and in confined areas has many advantages over laboratory analysis. Laboratory analyses can be slow, involve increased expense, lead to additional waste generation and disposal problems, and may introduce errors due to sample degradation or mishandling. In situ analysis mitigates all of these problems. The specific aim of this project is the development of ...

Polarization imaging holds promise for providing significant improvements in contrast in a number of target detection and discrimination applications. In several recent development efforts, it has been demonstrated that manmade objects have a significantly stronger polarization signal than natural backgrounds resulting in good contrast that complements the conventionally imaged infrared signature. ...
