THE NAVY DESIRES AN OPTICAL CORRELATOR SYSTEM TO DETERMINE AIRCRAFT PARAMETERS DURING THE TERMINAL PHASE OF LANDING ON AIRCRAFT CARRIERS. THE FOUNDER OF ADVANCED OPTICAL SYSTEMS, INC. (AOS) CONCEIVED AND DEVELOPED A SERIES OF OPTICAL CORRELATORS FOR MISE. TERMINAL GUIDANCE AND FOR SMART BOMBS. WE DEVELOPED A MULTICHANNEL TRACKING CORRELATOR WHICH WE PROPOSE TO APPLY TO THE AIRCRAFT LANDING PROBLEM ...

TAC PROPOSES TO CONDUCT A STUDY TO EVALUATE THE COMPARATIVE EFFECTIVENESS OF VARIOUS FORWARD-LOOKING AUTONOMOUS SENSORS AND ALGORITHMS FOR TLAM-C. THE CURRENT TLAM-C USES A TERRAIN MAPPING RADAR ALTIMETER AND CORRELATES THE SENSED AREA AT KEY WAYPOINTS WITH A STORED DIGITAL REPRESENTATION OF THE TERRAIN AREA AT THE WAYPOINTS TO PROVIDE MID-COURSE AND TERMINAL GUIDANCE CORRECTION TO THE INERTIAL NA ...

THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS DEVELOPMENTAL EFFORT IS TO DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF DEVELOPING A COMPUTER INTEGRATED ROBOT WORK CELL GAGING FINISHED PARTS OR OTHER ASSEMBLY/MACHINING OPERATIONS. THE FOCUS OF THE RESEARCH IS TO CONTROL THE ROBOT TOOL CONTROL POINT (TCP) THROUGH AN ADAPTIVE FEEDBACK CONTROL SYSTEM. THE ROLE OF THE FEEDBACK CONTROL SYSTEM IS TO CONTROL AND MODIFY THE PATH OF THE TCP TO WIT ...

THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS DEVELOPMENT IS TO DETERMINE THE TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY OF DEVELOPING A THREE DIMENSIONAL VISION BASED PASSIVE OBJECT RECOGNITION SYSTEM CAPABLE OF GENERATING THREE DIMENSIONAL COORDINATE LOCATION INFORMATION IN REAL TIME AT VIDEO FRAME RATES OF 30 FRAMES PER SECOND. THE SYSTEM CONFIGURATION UNDER INVESTIGATION WILL UTILIZE PARALLEL PROCESSING OF RAW VIDEO INPUT FROM MULTIPLE C ...

CURRENT STATE-OF-THE-ART CFD SPRAY COMBUSTION CODES DO NOT MODEL THE ATOMIZATION PROCESS, AND USE EMPIRICALLY/ARBITRARILY PRESCRIBED DROPLET CHARACTERISTICS AT THE FUEL INJECTOR EXIT. THIS CRITICAL SHORTCOMING IMPEDS THE ANALYSIS OF IMPORTANT ASPECTS OF GAS TURBINE COMBUSTION. IN PHASE I OF THIS PROJECT, A COMPUTATIONAL MODEL OF THE ATOMIZATION PROCESS WILL BE DEVELOPED FROM FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES ...

THE DISTRIBUTION AND ACCESS OF DATA IN A HIGHLY DECENTRALIZED ORGANIZATION CREATES SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS AND INEFFICIENCIES IN MANAGEMENT, OPERATIONS, AND HUMAN RESOURCES. THREE STANDARDS PROGRAMS, IISS, PDES, AND GOSIP ADDRESS THE PROBLEM OF MULTI-VENDOR DATABASE ACCESS. THESE STANDARDS ARE ESSENTIAL, HOWEVER THEY CAN ONLY BE APPLIED TO "GREENFIELD" FACILITIES OR ISOLATED APPLICATIONS. BILLIONS OF ...

AGENT VX HAS A VERY LOW VAPOR PRESSURE AND IS QUITE REACTIVE. FOR THESE REASONS, IT HAS A TENDENCY TO ABSORB OR REACT IRREVERSIBLY ON MOST MATERIALS AND, THUS, THE QUANTITATIVE TRANSPORT OF VX THROUGH KEY COMPONENTS IN CW-AGENT DETECTORS IS DIFFICULT. FOR THIS REASON, IT IS COMMON TO DETECT VX AS ITS MORE VOLATILE "G-ANALOG" BY FIRST PASSING THE GAS STREAM ENTERING A DETECTOR THROUGH A SILVERFLOUR ...

IT IS DESIRED TO REDUCE BOTH THE COST AND THE WEIGHT OF THE CURRENT M855 CARTRIDGE. THE CARTRIDGE CASE IS THE MOST VIABLE COMPONENT OF THE ASSEMBLY IN WHICH SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT CAN BE MADE. CONCEPT ANALYSIS CORPORATION (CAC) PROPOSES HEREIN A PROTOTYPE DESIGN OF THE NEW M855 CARTRIDGE. THIS DESIGN MAKES EXTENSIVE USE OF A GLASS FIBER-REINFORCED POLYMERIC RESIN AND IS PROJECTED TO REDUCE THE WE ...

OCCUPANT INJURY CAN BE SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED BY THE INCORPORATION OF PADDING OF HARD SURFACES IN VEHICLE INTERIORS. SEVERAL INTERIOR HARD SURFACES SUCH AS ROOF HEADER, A-PILLAR, AND B-PILLAR ARE DIFFICULT TO PAD DUE TO LIMITED SPACE. WAT IS NEEDED IS AN INFLATABLE PLASTIC BI-LAYER THAT COULD BE ATTACHED TO HARD SURFACES AND GIVE ACCEPTABLE WEAR AND APPEARANCE WHEN UNINFLATED, YET BE INFLATABLE DUR ...
