Developing knowledge-driven nanoelectronics for military applications requires understanding the fundamental physics that governs the behavior of the underlying materials. Strongly correlated materials have very desirable properties such as interfacial superconductivity, ferroelectricity, ferromagnetism, and huge magnetoresistance, which make them an ideal set of candidates to integrate with semic ...

The objective of this proposal is to examine the feasibility of defining and measuring key dimensions of an urban system to include its essential functions and networks, and whether they can be modelled in a computational framework for assessing robustness and resilience of DUTs (and their tipping points) under conditions of volatility and stress. This proposal will conduct a comprehensive review ...

Acclimatization is the long-term adjustment that humans experience when exposed for weeks or months to high altitude. Acclimatization is important in this context because a warfighter who is acclimatized to high altitude is immune to high altitude illness, has superior work capacity, and has cognitive function approaching that found at sea level. In other words, the acclimatized warfighter is opti ...

A new concept of ballistically deployed sensors that form an ad hoc network for uplinking data to the user will meet a critical need for a method of projecting situational awareness into high-risk or inaccessible locations. This new method of obtaining tactical intelligence puts extraordinary demands on the sensors and especially on imaging sensors: The requirements for extreme ruggedness and si ...

The proposed program will extend the CostVision technology, cost, and capacity software platform to support the needs of low-volume microfabrication. In particular, we will 1) build and demonstrate the feasibility of semiconductor technology-process models for trade-off analysis, 2) develop cost and capacity allocation methods that are flexible and leverage the CAM-I capacity model, 3) integrat ...
