The Defense Modeling and Simulation Office (DMSO) has developed the High Level Architecture (HLA) as one of the principle components of a DoD-wide Common Technical Framework for modeling and simulation (M&S). Unlike previous distributed simulation technologies such as DIS and SIMNET, HLA provides federation developers, via the Object Model Template (OMT), the means to define the structure and for ...

This sponsoring agency has defined the need for a six degree-or-freedom (6DOF) magnetically levitated (maglev) test platform to be used for vibration analysis. The intended payload can range in mass from 1Kg to 1000kg and i size up to one meter by one meter at the base. Peak linear acceleration of 5 g's and strokes of 25 mm (peak-peak) are required. The platform should also be capable of simult ...

The adaptive single user receiver invented at AF LAB has been shown to suppress multiuser and certain forms of narrow-band interference in adecision directed mode during the entire transmission, without requiring knowledge of other users spreading codes, timing or phase information in direct-sequence proposal, we investigate the use of our single user receiver for secure communications as required ...

This project will analyze and select promising materials and designs to be used in the plumes of tactical solid rocket motors for missile steering and control. The emphasis is on high-performance refractory materials and compatibility of material systems. The control fins experience severe thermal and severe particulate erosion environments. Missile controllability requires fins with minimal er ...

While the efficiency of x-ray sources is defined by the laws of physics, present day sources do not take full advantage of those laws. Other materials thant tungsten are not only more efficient in producing bremsstrahlung, but have "characteristic" x-rays that can make the beam harder instead of softer (as in the case for tungsten). Today's tubes also do not use optimum angles for the incident e ...

Objective is to develop the preliminary design and existing component modification required to integrate a 3-10 kw generator assembly using the newly patented new bold Turbo Rotary Powered Diesel Engine with a VSCF alternator that will have minimal 3 kw, 120 Vac, 50/60 Hz, 3 Phase power output up to 10 Kw, 120 Vac, 50/60 Hz, 3 phase output (depending ont he load requirement) in a lightweight compo ...

An electrically driven high head rise centrifugal pump is proposed. Ongoing component technology development indicates this system will be required to meet next generation expendable Air-Turbo-Ramjet (ATR), Liquid Fuel RamJet (LFRJ) and turboJet missile propulsion engine requirements. During Phae I CFDRC will collaborate with Northern Research Engineering to: 1. design and fabricate a prototype ...
