INNOVATIVE APPROACHES ARE DESCRIBED IN THIS PROPOSAL FOR SUPPRESSING FREQUENCY MODULATION ON A SINUSOIDAL CARRIER. PARTICULAR EMPHASIS IS DIRECTED TO THE SUPPRESSION OF IDENTIFIABLE COMPONENTS OF A COMPOSITE MODULATION PROCESS FOR THE PURPOSE OF RETAINING, FOR SEPARATE MEASUREMENT, ANY FORM OF RANGE-RATE DOPPLER SHIFT/MODULATION PRESENT. THE PROPOSED EFFORT WILL CONSIST OF AN ANALYTICAL STUDY FOR ...

THE PROPOSED WORK PROVIDES AN INTEGRATION OF THE ELECTRONIC DELIVERY TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPED THROUGH THE U.S. ARMY RESEARCHINSTITUTE FOR THE ARMY'S BASIC SKILLS EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM, AND THE NEEDS OF THE CIVILIAN POPULATION IN ADULT LITERACY/ BASIC SKILLS EDUCATION. TESTED CONCEPTS USED IN THE HAND- HELD TUTOR THAT HAVE PROVEN EFFECTIVE IN THE TEACHING OF SPECIALIZED VOCABULARY TO SOLDIERS IN THE ARMY ...

THERMOPLASTIC MATRIX COMPOSITE MATERIALS SUCH AS GRAPHITE/PEEK AND GLASS/ULTEM OFFER GREAT POTENTIAL AS STRUCTURAL MATERIALS FOR HELICOPTER AIRFRAMES. THROUGH THE USE OF THERMOPLASTIC MATRIX COMPOSITES IT IS POSSIBLE TO BUILD THE LIGHTWEIGHT, DURABLE, DAMAGE TOLERANT STRUCTURE REQUIRED FOR HELICOPTERS. THIS PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO DEVELOP AN AUTOMATED FIBER-REINFORCED THERMOPLASTIC FIBER PLACEMENT ...

SEVERAL TECHNIQUES WHICH HAVE BEEN USED BY ACL TO MEASURE RESPONSE OF BOTH FILAMENT-WOUND AND BRAIDED GLASS, KEVLAR AND GRAPHITE EPOXY COMPOSITE TUBES WILL BE EMPLOYED IN THE INSTRUMENTATION OF A VARIETY OF FILAMENT-WOUND COMPOSITE STRUCTURES. THESE STRUCTURES WILL BE CHOSEN BY ACL AFTER TECHNICAL DISCUSSIONS WITH MICOM PERSONNEL, AND MAY INCLUDE GOVERNMENT FURNISHED STRUCTURES OF PARTICULAR INTER ...

THE WASTE HEAT EXCHANGER IS OFTEN THE LARGEST SINGLE COMPONENT IN DIESEL-EXHAUST POWERED AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMS, AND ON ACCOUNT OF ITS HIGH MATERIAL CONTENT, IS OFTEN THE HEAVIEST AND MOST COSTLY AS WELL. THE NEED EXISTS FOR A HEAT EXCHANGER DESIGN AND FABRICATION TECHNIQUE WHICH IS COMPACT AND LIGHTWEIGHT, RESISTS FOULING FROM EXHAUST GASES, IS EASILY CLEANED, USES INEXPENSIVE MATERIALS, AND IS ...

THE RECENT DISCOVERY OF SUPERCONDUCTIVITY AT HIGH TEMPERATURE (90 DEG K) IN COPPER CONTAINING CERAMICS HAS RESULTED IN A RAPID ACCELERATION IN SUPERCONDUCTOR RESEARCH. PRODUCTION TECHNIQUES ARE BEING EXAMINED FOR THE FABRICATION OF BULK AND THIN FILM SAMPLES. THE CURRENTLY USED PROCESSES FOR MAKING THIN FILMS OF SUPERCONDUCTORS ARE PRIMARILY LIMITED TO EXPENSIVE, SMALL SCALE, LABORATORY TECHNIQUES ...

THE WHITE SANDS MISSILE RANGE GAMMA RAY FACILITY IS USED TO QUALIFY MILITARY EQUIPMENT FOR RADIATION HARDNESS. ISOTOPIC SOURCES OF 60 CO AND 137 CS ARE USED TO PRODUCE INTENSE GAMMA RAY FIELDS THAT ALLOW TESTING OF ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS IN ENVIRONMENTS THAT APPROXIMATE ANTICIPATED NUCLEAR BATTLEFIELD CONDITIONS. RECENTLY IT HAS BECOME CLEAR THAT DOSE ENHANCEMENT EFFECTS PRODUCED BY A LOW ENERGY COMPO ...

THE PROPOSED PHASE I RESEARCH WILL BUILD ON ALPHATECH'S THEORETICAL WORK ON THE GENERATION OF CRITICAL OPTIONS IN TACTICAL PLANNING AND ALPHATECH'S PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE OBSERVING PLANNING DEFICIENCIES IN FIELD EXERCISES. BOTH NORMATIVE THEORY AND DESCRIPTIONS OF ACTUAL PLANNING BEHAVIOR WILL BE USED TO IDENTIFY AREAS WHERE TACTICAL PLANNERS NEED DECISION SUPPORT IN ORDER TO GENERATE CRITICAL OPTIO ...
