We live in a three dimensional world, where we can go around an object and observe it from all angles. The current displays: TVs, movie screens, and computer monitors are all two dimensional devices. These displays give us only "flattened" realities. The missing third dimension carries with it tremendous amounts of information that is absolutely vital to the users. ACT has demonstrated the princip ...

THE PROPOSED PHASE I EFFORT CONSISTS OF ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION OF TECHNIQUES FOR MEASUREMENT OF ACOUSTIC SENSOR POSITIONS IN LONG TOWEDARRAYS FOR USE IN REDUCING PERFORMANCE DEGRADATIONS DUE TO ARRAY MOTIONS AND DISTORTION. PRESENT AND FUTURE ARRAY DESIGNS AND OPERATING ENVIRONMENTS WILL BE CONSIDERED, WITH SPECIFIC ATTENTION TO NONACOUSTIC SENSOR SUITES AND CAPABILITIES. A SURVEY OF SHAPE ESTIMA ...

INNOVATIVE APPROACHES ARE PROPOSED FOR ANALYTICAL INVESTIGATION AND EVALUATION IN A PHASE I EFFORT TO DEVELOP MULTIPATH AND CLUTTER SUPPRESSION TECHNIQUES FOR LOW SURFACE GRAZING ANGLE CMW AND MMW RADAR DIRECT OR DIFFERENTIAL GUIDANCE OF A MISSILE TO A TARGET IN THEATER MISSILE DEFENSE APPLICATIONS. THE RADAR IS EITHER MISSILE-BONE OR SITUATED IN THE MISSILE LAUNCH AREA OR ON THE LAUNCH PLATFORM. ...

1Innovative techniques for radar high angle resolution are proposed for investigation in a Phase I effort to enable the resolution of the direction of arrival (DOA) of returns from multiple targets that fall within one beamwidth and within the same range and Doppler Cells. The techniques proposed emphasize the pursuit for optimal utilization of available aperture space, by a combination of arrange ...

THIS PROPOSAL ADDRESSES THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SET OF TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A LASER RADAR SEEKER HARDWARE-IN-THE-LOOP (HWIL) TESTING AND EVALUATION FACILITY. AEGIS RESEARCH WILL DETERMINE THE CAPABILITIES OF SEEKER UNITS ANTICIPATED TO BE TESTED BY SUCH A FACILITY, DETERMINE A SET OF REQUIREMENTS BASED ON THESE CAPABILITIES, INVESTIGATE THE CURRENT STATE-OF-THE-ART IN SIM ...

WE PROPOSE A UNIFIED RETRIEVAL SYSTEM FOR ATMOSPHERIC METEOROLOGICAL PARAMETERS APPLICABLE TO THE ANALYSIS OF SENSOR PAYLOAD DATA SETS OF THE DEFENSE METEOROLOGICAL SATELLITE PROGRAM (DMSP) SPACECRAFT. THE APPROACH PROVIDES AN EFFICIENT, SELF-CONSISTENT DATA FUSION TECHNIQUE TO PROVIDE DESIRED ENVIRONMENTAL DATA RECORDS (EDRS) FROM THE ENSEMBLE OF SENSOR DATA 5D-3 SENSORS: OLS, SSM/T, SSM/T-2, AND ...

WE PROPOSE AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH FOR THE RETRIEVAL OF ARBITRARY ATMOSPHERIC PATH VARIABLES FROM RADIOMETRIC DATA. SPECIFICALLY, WE WILL EXTEND OUR CURRENT APPROACH TO THE CHARACTERIZATION OF THERMODYNAMIC PATH VARIABLES INCLUDING TEMPERATURE, DENSITY AND THE CONCENTRATIONS OF RELEVANT ABSORBING GASES BASED ON EXPLOITATION OF THE INFORMATION CONTENT OF HIGH RESOLUTION SPECTRAL SIGNATURES (ISAACS, ...
