TAC PROPOSES TO STUDY THE FEASIBILITY OF DETECTION AND LOCALIZING OIL DRUM SIZE OBJECTS ON/IN THE BOTTOM OF SURF ZONES. THE APPROACH IS TO ANALYZE THE PERFORMANCE PROBABILITIES AND DESIGN FEASIBILITY OF LOW FREQUENCY (20 TO 500 HZ) ACTIVE ELECTROMAGNETIC DESIGNS IN A TOWABLE, SUBMERGED HYDROFOIL CONFIGURATION. DETECTION SYSTEMS WOULD BE SUPPLEMENTED FOR LOCALIZATION BY EITHER NAVIGATIONAL FIX METH ...

FEASIBILITY STUDY TO DETERMINE THE POTENTIAL OF UTILIZATION OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS, CELLULAR PHONE AND ELECTRONIC TRANSFER TECHNOLOGIES TO SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE AND IN SOME CASES ELIMINATE THE SHRINKAGE OF COLLECTED TRANSIT REVENUE THROUGH EMPLOYEE MIS-HANDLING, EMPLOYEE FRAUD, EMPLOYEE THEFT. THIS STUDY WILL FOCUS ON THE FEASIBILITY OF IMPLEMENTING T THE ELECTRONIC/MICRO PROCESSOR BASED COLLECTION ...

THE PROPOSED PROGRAM IS DIRECTED TOWARDS EVALUATING THE TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY OF APPLYING SOLID POLYMER ELECTROLYTES (SPE) IN NOVEL ALL SOLID-STATE PHOTOELECTROCHEMICAL STORAGE CELLS. THE UNIQUENESS OF THIS APPROACH LIES IN THE USE OF PHOTOCATHODES WHICH WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO NOT ONLY GENERATE REDUCED REDOX SPECIES, AT THEIR INTERFACE WITH THE SOLID ELECTROLYTE, BUT ALSO WILL STORE SUCH SPECI ...

MILLIMETER-WAVE SYSTEMS ARE RAPIDLY EMERGING WITH NUMEROUS APPLICATIONS, INCLUDING GUIDANCE FOR SELF-CONTAINED MUNITION. VIABILITY OF MANY MILLIMETER-WAVE SYSTEMS RELIES HEAVILY UPON ACHIEVING THE LOWER COST AND SMALL SIZE AFFORDED BY CIRCUIT INTEGRATION TECHNIQUES. DIEELECTRIC-BASED WAVEGUIDES, SUCH AS INSULAR LINE, ARE HIGHLY APPROPRIATED MEDIA FOR SYSTEM INTEGRATION BY FABRICATING ALL CIRCUIT C ...

A NEED EXISTS FOR LOW COST, HIGHLY RELIABLE FRONT END HARDWARE FOR MILLIMETER WAVELENGTH MISSILE HOMING (TARGET SEEKER) SYSTEMS. DIEELECTRIC WAVEGUIDE PLANAR INTEGRATED CIRCUITS FOR THIS PURPOSE WERE FIRST PROPOSED IN THE EARLY 1970'S BY THE FOUNDERS OF EPSILON LAMBDA. THE MORE SOPHISTICATED MILLIMETER SEEKERS REQUIRE USE OF A MONOPULSE FRONT END CONFIGURATION. TWO YEARS OF RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMEN ...

IMI-TECH CORPORATION PROPOSES TO DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF MEETING THE NAVY'S NEED FOR A POURED-IN-PLACE, LIGHTWEIGHT FLOTATION FOAM THAT WILL NOT SUSTAIN COMBUSTION, DOES NOT RELEASE HAZARDOUS AMOUNTS OF TOXIC GASES WHEN EXPOSED TO FLAMES, AND HAS LOW WATER ABSORPTION. THE TECHNOLOGY TO MEET THIS REQUIREMENT, WITHOUT THE USE OF TOXIC GAS-PRODUCING FLAME RETARDANTS, EXISTS AT IMI-TECH TODAY. TH ...

TECHNICAL CRITERIA FOR THE DESIGN AND EVALUATION TESTING OF ELETRICAL CONNECTORS AND WIRING WILL BE DEVELOPED WITH THE OBJECTIVE OF IMPROVING MTBF AND REDUCING MANPOWER ASSOCIATED WIRING. A PORTION OF THIS WORK WILL INCLUDE ANALYSIS OF TH EXTENT AND SOLUTIONS FOR INTERMITTENT "CANNOT DUPLICATE FAILURE" CONDITIONS.

A NEW TECHNOLOGY CALLED "CHEMICAL PARAMETER SPECTROMETRY" IS MODIFIED TO BE ABLE TO ANALYZE SOLID, LIQUID, AND GASEOUSSAMPLES. THE EXPERIMENTS PERFORMED IN THIS WORK RESULT IN THE DESIGN FOR A PROTABLE INSTRUMENT (BLACK BOX) THAT CAN IDENTIFY VIRTUALLY ALL HAZARDOUS COMMODITIES. THE HAZARD OUS SPILLS IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM IS PORTABLE, FULLY A YAUTOMATED, AND RUGGED. IT WILL IDENTIFY HAZARDOUS SUBS ...
