AccessData is proposing enhancements to its Distributed Network Attack (DNA)product to increase the functionality which will increase the number of workstations that can participate in the system; from approximately 1,000 to potentially 1,000,000 workstations. This will be accomplished by coupling its world class password attack technology with a proven open source desktop grid computing infrastru ...

THE STUDY OF OCEAN PROCESSES SUCH AS MINERAL DISSOLUTION, ION SPECIATION AND REDOX EQUILIBRIA AS WELL AS EFFLUENT AND POLLUTION MONITORING REQUIRE ACCURATE AND PRECISE MEASUREMENTS OF BOTH MAJOR AND MINOR CHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS. ALTHOUGH SPECTROPHOTOMETRY AND FLAME PHOTOMETRY HAVE BEEN USED FOR SEA WATER ANALYSIS, POTENTIONMETRY WITH ION-SELECTIVE ELECTRODES IS THE MOST COMMON-METHODOLOGY, PARTICUL ...

THE FAILURE CRITERIA PRESENTLY USED FOR PREDICTION OF THE ULTIMATE STRENGTH OF A COMPOSITE MATERIAL ARE BASED UPON THE ASSUMPTION THAT THE COMPOSITE BEHAVES AS AN IDEAL ORTHOTROPIC MATERIAL. THIS IDEALIZATION OF COMPOSITE MATERIALS IS INCONSISTENT WITH THE WAY BRITTLE COMPOSITE MATERIALS FAIL. SINCE FAILURE GENERALLY BEGINS AT A SMALL CRACK OR VOID A FAILUTE CRITERIA BASED UPON A CRITICAL FLAW SIZ ...

The speed at which an attack is detected is a critical trigger for all responses to follow. The accurate determination of the type of attack will determine the type of emergency personnel and response needed. The location will determine the target response area as well as determine by proximity which of the responders that are available can be first on the scene. Therefore, a system that can do th ...

THIS PAPER PRESENTS A NEW APPROACH TO THE DESIGN OF A SELF-CONTAINED UNDERWATER DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEM (UDAS) BASED ON A GENERAL-PURPOSE DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING (DSP) ARCHITECTURE. THE PROPOSED ARCHITECTURE USES A HIGH-PERFORMANCE MILITARY STANDARD SINGLE-CHIP MICROPROCESSOR AS A SYSTEM CONTROLLER. WHEREAS EXISTING SYSTEMS USE SPECIAL-PURPOSE HARDWARE DEDICATED TO SIGNAL PROCESSING FUNCTIONS, I ...

MULTISPECTRAL ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES PERMIT ANALYSIS OF NONLINEARITIES GIVING RISE TO CERTAIN BROADBAND SIGNALS. THE ADVANTAGES OF THIS TECHNIQUE OVER LINEAR METHODS ARE DETAILED.

A COMBINED EXPERIMENTAL AND ANALYTICAL STUDY IS PLANNED TO DEVELOP ADVANCED COMPOSITE PIPING SYSTEMS. DUAL WALL PIPE WILL BE DEVELOPED AND TESTED FOR IMPROVED IMPACT RESISTANCE AND TOUGHNESS. EPOXY AND POLYESTER RESINS WILL BE USED IN COMPOSITE PIPE SECTIONS AND BONDED WITH EPOXY ADHESIVES AS WELL AS WITH HEAT-SHRINKABLE ULTRA HIGH MOLECULAR WEIGHT POLYETHYLENE AND ADVANCED ELASTMERIC COUPLINGS AN ...

Solid State Scientific Corporation is pleased to propose a CPP Phase II program to develop an uncooled hostile fire indication system with hostile fire identification. Algorithm concepts using bands in the visible through the (uncooled) SWIR will be explored for identifying threats and their angle of arrival while rejecting false alarm sources in clutter environments. The band pass of the narrow ...

Recently, the Navy has seen a shift from open-ocean or “blue-water” operations to littoral or “brown-water” operations, with warships operating close to shore in high clutter environments. The TNC filter provides a low cost solution CIF improvement. This technology is applicable to several radar families that are fielded and in development. Phase II of the program will focus on character ...

Superconducting materials are ideal candidates for fault current limiters (FCL) due to their low insertion loss and inherent ability to transition to high impedance in a very short time. Creare proposes to develop an FCL based on the use of High Temperature Superconductors (HTS) that can be applied directly to future U.S. Navy platforms. During Phase I, we developed an HTS FCL design and analyti ...
