SOLID BORON HAS LONG BEEN RECOGNIZED AS A POTENTIAL HIGH VOLUMETRIC DENSITY PROPELLANT FOR VOLUME LIMITED ROCKET AND AIR BREATHING PROPULSION SYSTEMS. HOWEVER, ACHIEVING THIS POTENTIAL HAS BEEN DIFFICULT DUE TO LOW COMBUSTION AND HEAT RELEASE EFFICIENCIES IN CONVENTIONALLY DESIGNED COMBUSTORS. A THREE PHASE MODEL OF BORON ASSISTED COMBUSTION IS POSTULATED AND THE ROLE THAT KINETIC SENSITIVITY ANAL ...

SPACE-BASED FACILITIES FACE AN UNEXPECTEDLY HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT AT ORBITAL ALTITUDES DUE TO CHEMICAL INTERACTIONS WITH ATOMIC OXYGEN AT THE HIGH VELOCITIES OF ORBITING SPACECRAFT. DEGRADATION AND EROSION OF MATERIALS FACING INTO THE ATMOSPHERIC WIND POSE A THREAT TO THE EFFECTIVE LIFE AND UTILITY OF SATELLITES, SPACE STATION SYSTEMS, AND EXPECIALLY SPACE-BASED OPTICAL INSTRUMENTATION. WE PROPOSE T ...

THE PROJECT OBJECTIVE IS TO DETERMINE FEASIBILITY OF MACHINE WINDING CERTAIN MULTI-PHASE, MULTI-POLE DEVICES IDENTIFIED AS CURRENTLY BEING HAND WOUND AND THE FOCUS OF THIS SOLICITATION. THE EFFORT INCLUDES A STUDY OF THE DEVICES TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE MECHANIZATION OF THE WINDING PROCESS, AS WELL AS A REVIEW OF EXISTING WINDING EQUIPMENT THAT MIGHT BE APPLICABLE IN EXISTING O ...

THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS RESEARCH IS TO DEVELOP AND DEMONSTRATE AN ALGORITHM FOR E-3 AIRBORNE SURVEILLANCE WHICH WILL FUSE DATA FROM MULTIPLE SENSORS INCLUDING A RADAR, AN IFF, AND AN ESM TO TRACK AND IDENTIFY MULTIPLE TARGETS. THE CURRENT E-3 SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM HAS A RADAR AND AN IFF SYSTEM. HOSTILE TARGETS ARE UNLIKELY TO BE DETECTED BY THE IFF SYSTEM; THE EMERGENCE OF LOW-OBSERVABLE TECHNOLOGY WI ...

A HIGH SPATIAL RESOLUTION AND HIGH SENSITIVITY X-RAY IMAGING SYSTEM HAS BEEN DEVELOPED THAT IS APPROPRIATE FOR THE IN-PROCESS INSPECTION OF SURFACE MOUNTED PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD ASSEMBLIES. IT IS A NEAR REAL-TIME SYSTEM THAT PRODUCES HIGH-QUALITY DIGITAL IMAGES CAPABLE OF PROVIDING QUANTITATIVE DATA FOR FEEDBACK TO THE ASSEMBLY SOLDERING AND OTHER SURFACE MOUNTED TECHNOLOGY MANUFACTURING PROCESSES ...

THIS SOLICITATION RESPONSE DESCRIBES ACSI'S TEAM APPROACH IN DEFINING, ANALYZING AND EVALUATING THE FEASIBILITY OF THE NEW CONCEPTS PROPOSED FOR PERFORMING AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL (ATC) IN A TACTICAL WARTIME ENVIRONMENT. WE WILL SHOW HOW WE PROPOSE TO DEVELOP THE CONCEPTS SO THAT TERMINAL ATC SERVICES CAN BE MADE SAFE AND SURVIVABLE BY UPGRADING CURRENT EQUIPMENT TO INCORPORATE TECHNOLOGIES WHICH REDU ...

APPLIED ANALYSIS INC. HAS DVELOPED A NEW DATA PROCESSING TECHNOLOGY THAT WHEN USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH SENSORS CAN PROVIDE MUCH HIGHER TARGET ACQUISITION AND IDENTIFICATION PERFORMANCE THAN CURRENT IMPLEMENTATIONS CAN ACHIEVE. IT SHOULD PROVIDE STRONGER DISCRIMINATION AGAINST CLUTTER, BASED ON ITS DEMONSTRATED STRONGER CLUTTER DISCRIMINATION CAPABILITY THAN THOSE OF PRIOR ART TECHNOLOGIES. THE DEM ...

THE FOLLOWING TECHNICAL OBJECTIVES WILL BE ACHIEVED IN THIS STUDY: 1. ASSESS THE AUTOMATIC TEST REQUIREMENTS FOR ELECTRO-OPTICAL (E/O) UNITS UNDER TEST (UUTS). 2. IDENTIFY AUTOMATIC TEST EQUIPMENT (ATE) STANDARDS FOR TESTING ELECTRO-OPTICAL UNITS UNDER TEST (UUT). 3. IDENTIFY SUITABLE MATE TESTING METHODOLOGIES AND STANDARDS FOR INTERFACING ELECTRO-OPTICAL UUTS TO THE ATE. SURVEYS OF MAJOR AIR FOR ...

THE MATE PROGRAM OFFICE HAS REQUESTED A REVIEW OF THE MATE GENERAL PURPOSE ELECTRICAL INTERFACE CONNECTOR STANDARD TO IMPROVE THE GUIDANCE TO DEVELOP THE MATE INTERFACE CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY (ICA). THIS STUDY WILL GATHER INFORMATION, ANALYZE THE RESULTS AND PROVIDE RECOMMENDATIONS TO VERIFY THAT THE ICA WILL MEET PROJECTED AIR FORCE TESTING REQUIREMENTS IN A COST EFFECTIVE MANNER. THE FOLLOWING TECHN ...

THIS PROPOSAL APPLIES EXPERT SYSTEM TECHNOLOGY TO ENHANCE THE USABILITY AND MAINTAINABILITY OF THE MATE GUIDES. THE CENTRAL THEME PRESENTED IN THIS PROPOSAL IS THE IDEA OF REPRESENTING THE TECHNICAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THE MATE GUIDES IN A WAY THAT CORRESPONDS TO THE NEEDS OF EVERY AUDIENCE LEVEL. THE STRUCTURE OF THE INFORMATION IS GEARED TOWARD THE NEEDS OF THE AUDIENCE, NOT BASED ON THE ST ...
