At present, there is no certified/accredited Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)-based solution for cross-domain voice and video that can support more than two domains.The desired IOC end state for the new MDAVS technology is a fundamentally new architecture that supports more than two simultaneous domains and can manage much larger numbers of concurrent calls while supporting high definition vide ...

THE U.S. AIR FORCE HAS AN INTEREST IN HIGH RATE, LOW COST, PRODUCTION PROCESSES FOR AIRCRAFT PARTS. ABARIS PROPOSES A COMBINED ANALYSIS AND TESTING PROJECT TO EXPLORE MODIFYING PRESENT RESIN TRANSFER MOLDING (RTM) TECHNIQUES TO EVALUATE THE FEASIBILITY OF THEIR USE IN THE PRODUCTION OF HIGH PERFORMANCE, AEROSPACE, COMPOSITE MATERIALS. EPOXY RESINS SHALL BE UTILIZED IN COMBINATION WITH GRAPHITE REI ...

WE WILL STUDY THE FEASIBILITY OF USING NEURAL NETWORKS (NN) IN FAULT DETECTION AND ISOLATION (FDI) SYSTEMS. WE HOPE TO DEMONSTRATE THE APPLICABILITY OF NEURAL NETWORK TECHNOLOGIES AND ALGORITHMS FOR THE DESIGN OF IMPORTANT SUBSYSTEMS TO BE USED ON BOARD THE HIGH VISABILITY NASP OR X-30. THIS RESEARCH PROJECT WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE MOST ADVANCED AVIONICS FOR USE IN THIS 21ST CENT ...

BY DESIGNING TRANSITION RADIATORS SUCH THAT THERE IS UNIFORM FOIL THICKNESS AND SPACING, THE ANGLE OF EMISSION CAN BE REDUCED AND THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE X-RAY SOURCE INCREASED. UNDER THIS CONTRACT WE WILL CALCULATE THE BRIGHTNESS OF THIS SOURCE AND COMPARE IT TO SYNCHROTRON EMITTERS. IN ADDITION WE WILL INVESTIGATE METHODS FOR REDUCING THE ELECTRON BEAM ENERGY REQUIRED FOR THE PROCESS TO OCCUR. MET ...

THIS RESEARCH WILL DEVELOP AN EXTENSIVE SET OF QUALITY METRICS FOR THE EVALUATION OF IDEF MODEL QUALITY, INPARTICULAR, AND FOR THE EVALUATION OF SYSTEMS ANALYSIS MODEL QUALITY, IN GENERAL. THE RESEARCH IS THE CONTINUATION OF INVESTIGATIONS ALREADY PERFORMED BY THE PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR, MR. WILLIAM R. WILLIAMSON, UNDER INTERNAL COMPANY FUNDING. THE SPECIFIC METHODOLOGY, IDEF, WAS CHOSEN FOR THE R ...

SUCCESSFULLY APPLYING MODEL-BASED REASONING TO REAL WORLD VISION PROBLEMS (E.G. AUTOMATIC TARGET RECOGNITION ?ATR?) REQUIRES ACCURATE REPRESENTATION OF COMPLEX RELATIONSHIPS AMONG THINGS IN THE WORLD AND OBSERVABLE IMAGE FEATURES. EVIDENCE ACCRUAL TECHNIQUES MUST BE ABLE TO OPERATE OVER THESE RELATIONSHIPS WITH LITTLE LOSS IN INFORMATION. CURRENT TECHNIQUES SUCH AS BAYESIAN NETWORKS SHOW PROMISE, ...
