EMISSION CONTROL (EMCON), INCLUDING RADAR EMISSION MANAGEMENT, IS A SUBDIVISON OF THE MUCH GREATER SUBJECT OF BATTLE MANAGEMENT. AT PRESENT, THERE IS NOT A FULL DEVELOP AND NAVY ACCEPTED TECHNIQUE FOR EXAMINING THE ENTIRE TECHNICAL MANAGEMENT OF POTENTIAL SEA BATITLES. THIS PROPOSED EFFORT WILL FOCUS ON A VALUABLE SUBSET OF BATTLE STRATEGY, THE INTERPLAY BETWEEN ELECTROMAGNETIC EMISSION CONTROL AN ...

COUNTERMEASURES DESIGNED AGAINST SATELLITES MUST KEEP PACE WITH RAPID STRIDES PRESENTLY BEING MADE IN SOPHISTICATED USE OF OCEAN SURVEILLANCE-TYPE SATELLITES. THESE ADVANCES IN SURVEILLANCE INCLUDE HIGH TECHNOLOGY ELECTRONIC HARDWARE AND SIGNAL PROCESSING. THE PROPOSED EFFORT WILL FOCUS ON DEVELOPMENT OF AN INNOVATIVE SYSTEM CONCEPT FOR COUNTERMEASURES AGAINST PRESENT AND FUTURE SATELLITE SURVEILL ...

THE AES CORPORATION HAS DEVELOPED A NOISE PROCESSOR (NP). THE PROCESSOR HAD THE ABILITY TO DETECT A SIGNAL OF KNOWN PULSE WIDTH BURIED DEEP WITHIN THE R.F. NOISE FLOOR OR ELECTRONIC JAMMING. THE COMBINATION OF PROPRIETARY HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE ALLOWS THE NP TO SEARCH FOR A VERY EXACT SIGNAL. THE SIGNAL PARAMETERS ARE PROGRAMMED INTO THE SOFTWARE. THE TWO CONCURRENT PROCESSORS ARRIVE AT THE PROBABI ...

A RESEARCH PROGRAM TO PROVIDE SIMULATION MODELS APPLICABLE TO THE DESIGN SPECIFICATION OF A MICROWAVE MOISTURE SOUNDER OPERATING AT 183 GHZ IS DESCRIBED. THE DESIGN SPECIFICATION PROCESS CONSISTS OF INSTRUMENT RESPONSE SIMULATION, SENSITIVITY ANALYSES, AND MOISTURE RETRIEVAL PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT. THE OBJECTIVE OF THE INITIAL EFFORT IS TO DEVELOP COMPUTER ALGORITHMS CAPABLE OF TREATING THE RESPON ...

THIS PROPOSAL IS TO DEMONSTRATE THE FEASIBILITY OF SWITCHABLE HOLOGRAMS IN RAPID (\ NANOSECOND) REPROGRAMMING OF VLSI CHIPS. THE CONCEPT WAS CHOSEN FOR HIGH SPEED, LOW SIZE, LOW COST, LOW POWER CONSUMPTION, AND MINIMUM WIRING. IT WILL RESULT IN HIGH FLEXIBILITY AND VERY RAPID REPROGRAMMING BUT WILL NOT BE AS FLEXIBLE AS A CROSS BAR SYSTEM. THE FINAL SYSTEM SHOULD SERVE REAL NEEDS, E.G. CHIP COMPUT ...

A TOTALLY NEW APPROACH TO HIGH QUALITY FLICKER-FREE IR MOVIE PROJECTION INVOLVING GRATING ENCODED REFLECTIVE IMAGES ON FILM IS DESCRIBED. THIS APPROACH IS DEMONSTRATED AND CAPABLE OF MEETING EACH OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF TOPIC NO. 29 AS WELL AS GIVING NATURAL (NOT "MONOCHROME") SPECTRAL SHAPES, EXTREMELY LARGE DYNAMIC RANGE, INDEPENDENT CONTROL OF DIFFERENT SCENE AREAS, AND READY EXTENSION TO CONCUR ...

OVER A HUNDRED THOUSAND NAVY PERSONNEL AS WELL AS A LARGE NUMBER OF MILITARY AND CIVILIAN WORKERS ARE NOW REQUIRED TO WEAR NUCLEAR RADIATION DOSIMETERS. ALTHOUGH MUCH OF THE POTENTIAL EXPOSURE IS FROM NEUTRONS, PRESENTLY NO SMALL ELECTRONIC NEUTRON DOSIMETER EXISTS AND ONLY PASSIVE DEVICES ARE AVAILABLE. THIS LEADS NOT ONLY TO EXCESS SHIELDING REQUIREMENTS AND INEFFICIENT USE OF PERSONNEL, BUT ALS ...
