AbTech Corporation proposes to apply its unique abductive information modeling (AIMTM) technology to develop a sensor fusion demonstration for command, control, communication, computer and information systems. Phase I is the necessary and sufficient precursor to an operational disparate sensor fusion for C4I applications. Phase I will show the feasibility of using AIM to model sensor data, threats ...

AeroSoft, Inc. proposes to develop, incorporate and validate transition and anisotropic turbulence models for improving the low-Reynolds number predictions for high-lift airfoil configurations. The turbulence-modeling package will use Menter's two equati

The proposed prototype Operational Trainer for the FFG-7 AAW Combat System will provide the US Navy with a means for training the FFG-7 AAW combat team to operate their equipment in condition 1 watch stations. Each watch station will be provided with the ability to train as they fight by allowing continuous on-board AAW training that includes all elements of the combat system with interactions as ...

The objective of the proposed Phase I work is to demonstrate the feasibility of using the Choi-Williams distribution to estimate the time ¿ frequency distribution of transients of interest to the IUSS. The specific objectives are to develop a metric for IUSS images and to show that the Choi-Williams distribution of these images may be used for classification. The Choi-Williams distribution is ...

The goal of this SBIR proposal is to evaluate the suitability of the WESCAM Model 14 EO sensor, currently deployed in the Predator, for oceanographic research use in the Naval Postgraduate School's "Pelican" optionally piloted aircraft. Sensor specifications will be based on Arete's extensive experience in remote sensing of the ocean, and engineering specifications developed with the Naval P ...

The anticipated result of the proposed approach will be an automated standardized and formalized design process integrated with a set of tools and data bases which will support the application of HSI to ship system and total ship design with emphasis on effectively, efficiently, and safely reducing human workloads and subsequently, ship manning. The value of the process, tools, and data bases, de ...

The development of diagnostic instruments with temporal and spatial resolution, for monitoring and controlling microwave based processing of ceramics and nanopowders is proposed. Emphasis is placed on techniques relevant to NRL's experimental plan and having significant commercial applications. Diagnostics for monitoring and possibly imaging temperature, dielectric properties and densification are ...

The objective of this project is to design a new large caliber naval gun to fit in a relatively small volume within a ship and yet be capable of firing ranges considerably greater than are presently available from equal caliber guns and ammunition. This gun will have a very short recoil whose greater recoil forces will be passed directly to major load bearing structure near the ship's ke ...

We will use our existing commercial grade chaotic data analysis tool kit to characterize ocean clutter and noise in hostile environments. This knowledge will be used to demonstrate how Receiver Operating Curves can be improved by reducing the mismatch between real noise and the noise model in traditional filters. We will also study the feasibility of signal detection with chaotic filters. For this ...
