Award Data

Low Altitude Sensing Helmet -(LASH) is to provide for pilot night vision when using small non-military planes to operate using unimproved landing areas around the globe. LASH will use SWIR (Short Wave IR) and LWIR (Long Wave IR) technology sensors to provide improved night vision in specified conditions.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS RESEARCH EFFORT IS TO EXPLORE THE FEASIBILITY OF DEVELOPING AN GENERIC EXPERT SYSTEM WHICH WOULD BE USED TO DEVELOP EXPERT SYSTEMS TAILORED FOR SPECIFIC APPLICATION. ANALYTICS HAS DEVELOPED AN ADVANCED, PRODUCT-ORIENTED CONCEPT FOR BUILDING, TESTINGS, AND EXECUTING AI APPLICATION SYSTEMS CALLED NINA. THE NINA CONCEPT SUPPORTS THE DESIGN, IMPLEMENTATION, AND EXECUTION OF A WIDE ...

THE PROPOSED STUDY WILL CRITICALLY EVALUATE SIX OR MORE INNOVATIVE CONCEPTS FOR LAUNCHING FLIGHT TEST PAYLOADS TO KWAJELEIN ATOLL, WITH EMPHASIS ON COST EFFECTIVENESS, PARTICULARLY FOR SMALL PAYLOADS (UNDER 50 LBS). CANDIDATE CONCEPTS WILL BE COMPARED FOR PERFORMANCE OVER THE FULL SPECTRUM OF ANTICIPATED PAYLOAD WEIGHTS AND FULL FLIGHT TEST ENVIRONMENT ENVELOPE. EVALUATION OF PAYLOAD LAUNCH ENVIRO ...

THE PROPOSED RESEARCH IS TO ADVANCE THE STATE-OF-THE-ART OF DETERMINISTIC RISK ANALYSIS AND FIRE PROTECTION METHODOLOGY OF NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS. A COMPUTER CODE, BASED ON THE USE OF A FIELD (DISCRETIZATION) MODELING TECHNIQUE, WILL BE DEVELOPED THAT HAS SUFFICIENT FLEXIBILITY FOR ACCURATE/REALISTIC REPRESENTATIONS OF GEOMETRY, VENTILATION AND OTHER CONDITIONS PRESENT IN CABLE ROOMS AND CONTROL ROO ...

THE WORK PROPOSED IN THIS EFFORT IS DIRECTED TOWARDS DETERMINING THE CORRELATION BETWEEN OBSERVED AIRBORNE RADIOIODINE CONCENTRATIONS IN THE AUXILIARY AND FUEL HANDLING BUILDINGS AT TMI-2 FOLLOWING THE ACCIDENT IN 1979 WITH DIURNAL TEMPERATURE VARIATIONS. APPROXIMATELY 5000 MEASUREMENTS WERE MADE DURING THE PERIOD APRIL-JULY, 1979 INDESIGNATED AREAS OF THE AUXILIARY/FUEL HANDLING BUILDING AND THE ...

THE LETHALITY OF ANY DIRECTED-ENERGY WARHEAD IS MEASURED BY ITS ABILITY TO CAUSE IRREPARABLE DAMAGE TO THE VULNERABLE COMPONENTS THAT EXIST BEHIND THE PROTECTIVE ARMOR. THIS DAMAGE IS INCURRED BY THE IMPACT OF THESE COMPONENTS BY EITHER THE PENETRATOR MATERIAL ITSELF OR BY TARGET SPALL MATERIAL GENERATED BY THE INTERACTION OF THE PENETRATOR AND PROTECTIVE ARMOR. SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT IN LETHALIT ...

RECENT IMPROVEMENTS IN ADVANCED ARMOR TECHNOLOGY, INCLUDING THE INTRODUCTION OF EFFECTIVE APPLIQUE ARMOR, PRESENT A SPECIAL CHALLENGE FOR THE ANTI-TANK MISSILE WARHEAD DESIGNER. TWO GENERAL APPROACHES TO MEET THIS CHALLENGE APPEAR FEASIBLE: IMPROVEMENTS IN UNITARY WARHEADS AND THE INCORPORATION OF MULTISTAGE WARHEATS. MULTISTAGE WARHEAD SYSTEMS CURRENTLY UNDER DEVELOPMENT APPEAR TO OFFER SIGNIFICA ...
