THE PROPOSED PROGRAM IS DIRECTED TOWARDS EVALUATING THE TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY OF APPLYING SOLID POLYMER ELECTROLYTES (SPE) IN NOVEL ALL SOLID-STATE PHOTOELECTROCHEMICAL STORAGE CELLS. THE UNIQUENESS OF THIS APPROACH LIES IN THE USE OF PHOTOCATHODES WHICH WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO NOT ONLY GENERATE REDUCED REDOX SPECIES, AT THEIR INTERFACE WITH THE SOLID ELECTROLYTE, BUT ALSO WILL STORE SUCH SPECI ...

WE PROPOSE TO DEVELOP A MULTI-CHANNEL FIBER OPTIC INTERCONNECTION DEVICE THAT CAN WITHSTAND THE SEVERE CONDITIONS OF THE MILITARY AIRCRAFT ENVIRONMENT. THE PROPOSED INTERCONNECT DEVICE CONSISTS OF AN ADAPTER AND A CONNECTOR FOR RIBBON FIBERS OR MULTI-CHANNEL CABLES. THIS DEVELOPMENTAL ACTIVITY WILL FOCUS ON ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES AND ADVANCED ENGINEERING MATERIALS. SPECIFICALLY, WE INTEND TO USE ET ...

THIS PROPOSAL IS TO INVESTIGATE CURRENT PACKAGING AND LABELING PRACTICES IN THE NAVY AND DEVELOP RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCEPTS FOR COST-EFFECTIVE IMPROVEMENTS. FOCUS WILL BE ON TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS IN MARKING AND LABELING PRACTICES AND EQUIPMENT, AND MATERIALS THAT WILL PROVIDE ADDITIONAL PROTECTION TO INSENSITIVE MUNITIONS FROM UNPLANNED STIMULI, AS WELL AS INNOVATIVE CONTAINER CONCEPTS THAT ...

A MULTIPLACE MINEFIELD DESIGN IS A SERIES OF MINEFIELD DESIGNS; THAT IS, A SERIES OF SPECIFICATIONS, ONE FOR EACH OF THE COMPONENT MINEFIELDS OF A MULTIPLACE MINEFIELD, OF THE CORRESPONDING MINEABLE AREA AND OF THE NUMBERS AND KINDS OF MINES AND THEIR DISTRIBUTIONS OF SETTINGS THAT ARE TO BE LAID IN IT. DESIGNING MULTIPLACE MINEFIELDS IS THE CORE OF MULTIPLACE MINEFIELD PLANNING, THE ENTIRE STOCKP ...

IMI-TECH CORPORATION PROPOSES TO DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF MEETING THE NAVY'S NEED FOR A POURED-IN-PLACE, LIGHTWEIGHT FLOTATION FOAM THAT WILL NOT SUSTAIN COMBUSTION, DOES NOT RELEASE HAZARDOUS AMOUNTS OF TOXIC GASES WHEN EXPOSED TO FLAMES, AND HAS LOW WATER ABSORPTION. THE TECHNOLOGY TO MEET THIS REQUIREMENT, WITHOUT THE USE OF TOXIC GAS-PRODUCING FLAME RETARDANTS, EXISTS AT IMI-TECH TODAY. TH ...

Low cost methods and materials will be evaluated for the design and manufacture a 2 to 18 GHz radome which will provide sub-sonic environmental protection for a 4-arm spiral antenna and which will also be optically transparent. Canididate materials will include but not be limited to the following matterials: borosilicate glasses, polycarbonates and amorphous fluoropolymers. Radome wall designs wil ...

CURRENT ALUMINUM MATRIX COMPOSITES WHICH USE ALLOYS REQUIRING SOLUTION HEAT TREATING, QUNEHCING, AND ELEVATED TEMPERATURE AGING SUFFER FROM POOR TOUGHNESS. IT IS EXPECTED THE TOUGHNESS OF ALUMINUM MATRIX COMPOSITES CAN BE SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED THROUGH THE USE OF 5000 SERIES ALLOYS WHICH HAVE HIGH WORK HARDENING RATES AND GOOD DUCTILITY. ANY LOSS IN COMPOSITE STRENGTH CAN BE COMPENSATED BY ADJUST ...
