ADS IS PROPOSING TO DEVELOP OBJECT-ORIENTED, SCHEMA-BASED DATA STRUCTURES FOR REPRESENTING TERRAIN DATA. THESE DATA STRUCTURES CAN SATISFY DEMANDING SPACE AND TIME CONSTRAINTS BY MINIMIZING PAGING IN A VIRTUAL MEMORY SYSTEM. THIS WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED BY COMPACTLY REPRESENTING THE DATA IN A FORMAT DIRECTLY RELEVANT TO THE ROUTE PLANNING APPLICATIONS. THE SCHEMATA EXPLICITLY REPRESENT THRESS ASPECTS ...

ADS PROPOSES TO PERFORM REQUIREMENTS ANALYSIS, CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT, AND FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS FOR A PHASE II IMPLEMENTATION OF A SORTER/ PARSER FOR INTERCEPTED MESSAGES IN THE TACTICAL BATTLEFIELD DOMAIN. THE CONCEPT PROPOSED FOR A MESSAGE SORTER PARSER UTILIZES A KEYWORDBASED INFORMATION RETRIEVAL PROGRAM, CALLED RUBRIC, TO SORT THE MESSAGES INTO SENDER AND INTENDED RECEIVER CATEGORIES, TOGETHER W ...

EVALUATION OF JAMMING EFFECTIVENESS IN DATA SIGNALS IS RATHER STRAIGHTFORWARD AND IS GENERALLY REPEATABLE. THAT IS, A PARTICULAR JAMMING SYSTEM WILL PRODUCE THE SAME BIT ERROR RATE EACH TIME A TEST IS RUN WITH THE SAME TEST PARAMETERS. EVALUATION OF EFFECTIVENESS OF JAMMING OF VOICE SIGNALS HOWEVER, IS VERY SUBJECTIVE AND EVEN WITH THE SAME TEST SUBJECTS, RESULTS WILL FREQUENTLY DIFFER FROM TEST T ...

THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS EFFORT IS TO EXPLORE THE POTENTIAL OF FINITE INDUCTIVE SEQUENCE PROCESSING (FISP) TO PROVIDE FOR SMART THREAT SENSOR SYSTEMS. THE PROPOSAL WILL SINGLE OUT THE RADAR WARNING RECEIVER (RWR) AS A CANDIDATE SYSTEM. FISP, HOWEVER, HAS APPLICATION AND CAPABILITY WELL BEYOND THAT WHICH WILL BE PROPOSED AND COULD BE USED AS AN ONBOARD, CHIP-LEVEL, KNOWLEDGE-BASED SENSOR FUSION SYSTEM ...

THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO EXAMINE THE FEASIBLE OF DEVELOPING A TRACKING LASER DATA LINK. THE PROPOSED SYSTEM WILL USE A DUAL TRACKING SYSTEM, ONE ON THE RETROREFLECTIVE MOBILE UNIT, THE OTHER ON THE LASER. TRIANGULATION WILL BE USED TO PROVIDE LASER TRACKING WHEREAS PROJECTED PATH WILL BE USED IN THE MOBILE TRACKING UNIT. ACOUSTO-OPTICAL MODULATION OF THE LASER WILL BE USED FOR THE DATA LI ...

FUTURE THREAT INFRARED MISSILE SEEKERS WILL POSSESS THE CAPABILITY TO EFFECTIVELY DISCRIMINATE AGAINST IR DECOY FLARES. NEW DECOY FUELS MUST BE IDENTIFIED WHICH PROVIDE A GOOD SPECTRAL MATCH BETWEEN DECOYS AND HELICOPTERS, AND WHICH HAVE IMPROVED TOTAL RADIANT INTENSITY AND BURNING CHARACTERISTICS. IN ADDITION, ALTERNATIVE DECOY CONCEPTS TO THE FREE-GRAIN FLARE MUST BE EVALUATED. IN THIS PROPOSAL, ...

THE POTENTIAL FOR USING COMPOSITE MATERIALS IN CONSTRUCTING SPACE STATION ENVIRONMENTS APPEARS TO BE DESIRABLE DUE TO THE SUBSTANTIAL PAYLOAD WEIGHT SAVINGS OF POLYMER COMPOSITES, AS COMPARED TO MOVING MORE CONVENTIONAL MATERIALS FROM EARTH. IN THE HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT OF SPACE, JOINTS MUST BE HIGHLY STABLE AND RELIABLE, AS WELL AS BEING SIMPLE TO MANUFACTURE. CURRENT TECHNIQUES FOR JOINING, AS USE ...
