Additive technology has been developed which will extend the operating temperature of common aviation fuels like JP-5. However, the currently available additive packages cannot extend the operating temperature high enough to meet the anticipated requirements of future gas turbine engine designs. In addition, these additive packages usually deteriorate other performance properties of the fu ...

Not Available The overall objectives of this proposal are: a) to demonstrate the feasibility of using rapid, low-cost test methods for screening materials to be used as fasteners in critical assemblies; and b) to rapidly screen existing and new high-strength (120-150ksi) corrosion resistant materials to replace K-Monel, which is unacceptable for critical application at these strength levels due t ...

Existing materials used for marine cable connectors each have drawbacks in terms of cost or performance. Alden Products Company proposes a program to develop a family of cable connectors and adapters that lower the present cost/performance barrier in two ways; through the use of alternative materials and through new manufacturing methods using the existing materials. The main goals of P ...

Not Available The objective of this proposal is to demonstrate 1) new principles of sampling and 2) new principles of beam sampling will allow obtaining of up to billion times attenuated replica of the beam. Acousto-optical diffractive gratings in noble gases kept at normal atmospheric pressure and temperature will be used in one scheme to ensure absorptionless sampling of high power beams. Sampl ...

Not Available This is a proposal for an Advanced Discrimination Ladar Receiver (ADLR). The ADLR concept is based upon state-of-the-art integrated circuits and image tube technology. The concept is very innovative with enormous potential for increasing performance above existing multiple-independent-channel, discrimination-ladar-receiver designs used for reentry vehicle and decoy discrimination. S ...

Not Available AI and Expert System technology offer the capability of capturing human decision processes. Developing a general schema for capturing the knowledge required for each CIC position facilitates the development of Intelligent Watch Station Software Modules to automatically perform the associated watch station's tasks, including filtering, collecting, correlating, interpreting, identifyi ...
