ABJ Integration Technologies, Inc. proposes to model a vertically optically interconnected stack of silicon integrated circuits to form a three dimensional system. This 3D system will utilize through-substrate optoelectronic communication to which the package and silicon are optically transparent. System optimization for user specifications will include materials and components such as emitters ...

TO MEET THE KINETIC ENERGY ANTI-SATELLITE (KE ASAT) REQUIREMENTS FOR TIMELY AND RELIABLE KILL ASSESSMENT, AEROMET PROPOSES TO RECOMMEND INNOVATIVE TECHNIQUES IN REAL-TIME KILL ASSESSMENT SPECTROSCOPY. BECAUSE IT CAN BE CRITICALLY IMPORTANT TO ACCURATELY VERIFY SATELLITE ELIMINATION, A KILL ASSESSMENT SYSTEM MUST DISCERN BETWEEN VARIOUS HIT AND MISS PHENOMENA, INCLUDING THE USE OF POTENTIAL COUNTER ...

A FEASIBILITY STUDY IS PROPOSED ON A NOVEL CONCEPT FOR A GENERATION OF A VERY LIGHTWEIGHT, HIGHLY FOCUSED GAMMA RADIATION BEAM USEFUL FOR MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS IN DEFENSE SUCH AS KILL OF ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS IN LAND WARFARE, AND (AS DESCRIBED HEREIN) DISCRIMINATION OF TARGETS IN SPACE. THE DEVICE IS SMALL ENOUGH TO "PIGGY BACK" ON THE PROPOSED REENTRY VEHICLE (RV) INTERCEPTOR MISSILES, OR BE CARRIED ...

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 ...

Modeling and simulation (M&S) provides the potential of serving as a cost-effective expedient for developing, acquiring, testing, and fielding new technologies for the future battlefield-provided the limitations of existing tools and techniques can be overcome. As the Army focal point for communications M&S, the U.S. Army Communications-Electronic Command (CECOM) has the lead for performing M&S t ...

MANY INSTRUMENTATION RADARS (SUCH AS THE MPS-36 AND FPS-16) USED AT WSMR AND OTHER RADAR INSTALLATIONS WORLDWIDE WERE DESIGNED 20-30 YEARS AGO. THIS PROPOSAL ADDRESSES ENHANCEMENTS TO THESE OLDER RADAR SYSTEMS TO INCORPORATE MODERN SIGNAL PROCESSING TECHNIQUES USING A DIGITAL COMPUTER AND SOFTWARE TO PROVIDE IMPROVED TRACKING, TO PROVIDE COHERENT DATA FOR TMR AND OTHER USES, TO PROVIDE IMPROVED RE ...

A REQUIREMENT EXISTS TO PROVIDE OCULAR PROTECTION TO TROOPS AT RISK FROM LASER ENERGY EXPOSURE AND BALLISTIC FRAGMENTS WHILE MAINTAINING ESSENTIAL VISUAL PERFORMANCE. SINCE HOSTILE LASER BEAMS MAY BE AT UNEXPECTED WAVELENGTHS, THE USUAL NOTCH FILTER IS NOT A COMPLETE ANSWER TO THE PROBLEM. THIS LABORATORY PROPOSES A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ANSWER: AN INTERFERENCE FILTER THAT BLOCKS ALL OF THE VISIBLE ...

N/A

A VARIETY OF HARDWRE ENHANCEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE OVER THE YEARS TO THE HIGH ENERGY LASER DATA ACQUISITION AND PROCESSING SYSTEM (HELDAPS) AT THE WHITE SANDS MISSILE RANGE HIGH ENERGY LASER SYSTEM TEST FACILITY. THE EXISTING HELDAPS SOFTWARE DOES NOT FULLY UTILIZE THE CAPABILITIES OF THE ENHANCED SYSTEM CONFIGURATION. A PHASE I PROJECT IS PROPOSED TO SYSTEMATICALLY ANALYZE THE HELDAPS ROCESSING REQ ...
