A survey of High Power Microwave technologies reveals substantial efforts toward microwave technology. Gains in power and efficiency are being made to the point of being deployable. Unfortunately, little effort has been made toward the pulse powerrequired to drive the microwave sources. This proposal details a phase II effort aimed at providing deployable pulsed power sources compact enough to ...

THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROPOSAL IS TO CONDUCT PRELIMINARY TESTS ON A NOVEL CHEMISTRY WHICH COULD RESULT IN THE PRODUCTION OF A LOW COST WAFER WHICH CHANGES COLOR UPON EXPOSURE TO WARFARE GASES (WG). SIMILAR WAFERS WHICH WE DEVELOPED FOR OTHER GASES ARE ABOUT 2" X 1" X 1/16" AND WEIGH ABOUT 2.3 GM. THESE CHROMOSENSE (TM) WAFERS CAN DETECT HYDROGEN SULFIDE, ETC. IN 10-30 SEC. AT CONCENTRATIONS OF THE ...

THIS PROJECT FOCUSES ON THE TWO MOST IMPORTANT ISSUES OF ALL OF COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS: 1) HOW GOOD ARE THE NUMERICAL ANSWERS OBTAINED IN A COMPUTATION? AND 2) HOW CAN THE BEST POSSIBLE ANSWERS BE OBTAINED FOR A FIXED AND LIMITED COMPUTATIONAL EFFORT, BUDGET, OR COMPUTING CAPABILITY? IN GENERAL TERMS THE ANSWERS TO THESE QUESTIONS ARE 1) TO DETERMINE RELIABLE A-POSTERIORI ESTIMATES OF ERROR ...

We propose to further develop a new technique for imaging underground facilities based on the passive monitoring of acoustic emissions from both stationary and moving equipment within such facilities. It is well known that all mechanical devices, such asmotors, gears, etc, emit acoustic signals. It is possible to identify an acoustic source based on its noise spectrum. During Phase I, we have demo ...

The primary goal of this project is to design, develop, and demonstrate an electronic enterprise-wide planning and management system (e-TEAM). The e-TEAM concept relies upon a SDM (System Development Methodology) conceptual architecture, instrumented withartifact management and information brokerage software, enabled through a wireless-web, handheld-based technology interface and supported by dat ...

We propose to design, build, and deploy an On Demand Depot Shop Simulation System (ODSS). The proposed approach uses a combination of data mining and knowledge discovery methods to automatically reconfigure and optimize systems simulation models. Becauseit operates through the shop portal, the ODSS solution will be platform independent and enable collaborative depot shop systems modeling and ana ...

The primary goal of proposed Phase II effort is to develop a versatile and powerful Software Tool for Efficient Airspace Management (STEAM) that can be used by airspace managers and policy makers for reviewing, analyzing, and assessing the utilization ofspecial use airspace over time and for designing strategies for optimal long-term utilization.During Phase I, KBSI successfully demonstrated the a ...

Hydrogen powered equipment requires a source of hydrogen, a fuel that is not widely distributed. Currently the military runs nearly exclusively on JP-8, a heavy hydrocarbon. To make hydrogen powered equipment practical at forward locations requires areformer that can produce hydrogen from JP-8. The plasmatron reformer at the core of this process can process any fluid hydrocarbon, including fuel ...
