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, ...

MOST OF THE TECHNICAL LITERATURE IN RADAR IS WRITTEN FOR PROFESSIONALSIN THAT FIELD. THE PROPOSED RADAR EVALUATION HANDBOOK WILL CONTAIN TECHNICAL DATA AND PROCEDURES FOR RADAR EVALUATION, BUT WILL BE ADDRESSED TO THE NEEDS OF GENERALISTS FOR WHOM RADAR IS ONLY ONE OF MANY TECHNICAL DISCIPLINES NEEDED IN THEIR WORK. THE MATERIAL WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE NEW 2ND EDITION OF RADAR SYSTEM ANALYSIS, ...

CONTRACTOR WILL DEVELOP A LAGRANGIAN FORMULATION FOR THE ELECTROMAGNETIC RESPONSE OF A METALLIC ENCLOSURE WITH THIN, SLIGHTLY DIFFUSIVE WALLS AND A WIRE SPANNING THE ENCLOSURE. CONTRACTOR WILL FIRST DERIVE A LAGRANGIAN OPERATOR ON THE FIELDS WHICH IS STATIONARY WHEN MAXWELL'S EQUATIONS ARE SATISFIED. THE LAGRANGIAN WILL THEN BE USED TO DETERMINE THE ENCLOSURE EIGENMODES (WIRE INCLUDED) AND THE AMP ...

CODES CURRENTLY EXIST THAT WILL CALCULATE THE ELECTROMAGNETIC ENVIRONMENT (EMP) PRODUCED BY A BEAM OF COLLIMATED GAMMA RAYS. THE COLLIMATION MAY BE EITHER CYLINDRICAL OR CONICAL. THE CURRENT EFFORT WILL BE TO INSTALL THE CODES ON AN ARMY CRAY COMPUTER AND TO SET THEM UP AND RUN THEM FOR PROBLEMS OF INTEREST TO THE ARMY.

THERE IS AN ESTABLISHED NEED FOR A SIMPLE ROBUST TRANSDUCER TO MEASURE PARTICLE VELOCITY IN SEVERE BLAST AND SHOCK ENVIRONMENTS SUCH AS NUCLEAR AND HIGH EXPLOSIVE TESTS. A GAGE CONCEPT IS PROPOSED FOR DEVELOPMENT, BASED ON THE PROVEN MEASUREMENT PRINCIPLES USED IN THE HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL DX GAGE, BUT RECONFIGURED MECHANICALLY AND ELECTRICALLY TO WITHSTAND THE HARSH SHOCK ENVIRONMENTS. THE CONCEPT RE ...

THE PRIMARY OBJECTIVE OF THIS STUDY IS TO EVALUATE THE FEASIBILITY OF DEVELOPING A MODEL-BASED PROTOCOL FOR OPTIMIZED INSTRUCTION. THE BASIC TECHNIQUE CENTERS ON THE USES OF THE OPTIMAL CONTROL MODEL (OCM) OF THE HUMAN OPERATOR, AN INFORMATION-PROCESSING MODEL OF SKILLED HUMAN BEHAVIOR WHOSE STRUCTURE AND PARAMETER SET REFLECT THE BASIC HUMAN LIMITATIONS AND COMPONENT SKILLS WHICH DETERMINE TASK P ...
