THIS EFFORT WILL DEVELOP A COMPUTER SIMULATION MODEL TO EVALUATE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF BOTH ON-BOARD AND OFF-BOARD AIRCRAFT SURVIVABILITY EQUIPMENT (ASE). THE MODEL FAMILY WILL INCLUDE GROUND BASED TARGET TRACKING RADAR AND AIRBORNE INTERCEPTOR RADAR MODELS, RF AND IR TARGET MODELS, RADAR AND IR SEEKER MODELS, FIVE DEGREE OF FREEDOM MISSILE MODEL WITH PROPORTIONAL NAVIGATION, CLUTTER AND NOISE ENVI ...

ENVIRONMENTAL DIAGNOSTICS, INC. PROPOSED TO DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF APPLYING ITS NEW INNOVATIVE HAPTEN TECHNOLOGY TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF IMMUNORECEPTORS FOR DETECTION AND ASSAY OF BIOLOGICAL TOXINS. THE NEW HAPTEN RECEPTOR TECHNOLOGY OVERCOMES PREVIOUS SCIENTIFIC LIMITATIONS AND TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES IN DEVELOPING IMMUNOASSAYS FOR HIGHLYTOXIC, LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT PROTEIN TOXINS. TO DATE, THE ...

AN ISOPERFORMANCE MODEL IS DESCRIBED WHICH WILL PERMIT TRADE-OFFS BETWEEN SIGNIFICANT PEOPLE-RELATED ELEMENTS IN MILITARY SYSTEMS AND PERMIT HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGERS TO ANSWER "WHAT IF" QUESTIONS. SINCE THE TECHNIQUE INVOLVES ESTIMATING IN ADVANCE THE LIKELY CONSEQUENCES OF PARTICULAR COMBINATIONS OF PERSONNEL, TRAINING, AND EQUIPMENT FOR MILITARY SYSTEMS PERFORMANCE, IT IS LIKE A FRONT-END ANALYSI ...

THE PROJECT WILL BE DEVOTED TO SELECTING AN OPTIMUM CONFIGURATION AND RUNNING 1/4 SCALE MODEL TESTS OF A ROGALLO TYPE WING. THE WING WILL HAVE HIGHER THAN USUAL ASPECT RATIOS FOR ROGALLO WINGS, AND WILL BE AIR DEPLOYABLE. A CONTROL SYSTEM TO AUTOMATICALLY LAND THE VEHICLE WILL BE DEVELOPED. FINAL DESIGN OF A FULL SCALE VEHICLE WILL BE DELIVERED.

EXISTING CORRELATIONS OF MOBILITY ROUTES AMONG WORLD-WIDE DESERTS ARE BASED ON INCOMPLETE DATA AND ON A LIMITED ARRAY OF FACTORS. THE PROPOSED RESEARCH WILL YIELD A COMPUTER-BASED, DESERT MOBILITY COURSE CORRELATION MODEL WHICH WILL INVOKE A WEIGHTED APPLICATION OF EVERY SIGNIFICANT IMPACTING CRITERIA (E.G. TOPOGRAPHY, CLIMATE, ROAD NETWORKS, VISIBILITY, DRAINAGE, ETC.) TO A SERIES OF CORRELATION ...

SIX POLYMERIC MATERIAL SYSTEMS ALL HAVING EXCELLENT DIELECTRIC STRENGTH ARE TO BE EXAMINED TO DETERMINE THEIR FAST RISETIME PULSE DIELECTRIC STRENGTH. THE MATERIALS TO BE TESTED INCLUDE EPOXIES, POLYURETHANES AND SILICONE ELASTOMERS. A SURVEY WAS MDE TO LOCATE A TEST FACILITY THAT COULD DUPLICATE THE SOLICITATION PULSE SIGNATURE. NONE WAS FOUND, HOWEVER, THE WESTINGHOUSE CORP. HAS SUBMITTED A PROP ...

PERFECT VIEW INC. AND THE PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR, DR. A. J. ATTAR, HAVE RECENTLY OBTAINED A PATENT ON A METHOD TO REMOVE MINERAL WATER FROM COAL BY FIRST TURNING ITS SURFACE HYDROPHOBIC (U.S. PATENT 4,597,769, ISSUED JULY 1ST, 1986). THE TREATMENT INVOLVES A VERY LOW-COST CHEMICAL REACTION WHICH CONVERTS THE HYDROXLIC AND CARBOXYLIC SURFACE FUNCTIONALITIES TO ETHERS AND ESTERS. THIS TREATMENT REDU ...

THE TEMPERATURE DEPENDENCE OF QUARTZ CRYSTAL RESONATOR FREQUENCIES IS DETERMINE PRINCIPALLY BY THE CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC ORIENTATION OF CRYSTAL BLANKS. AS FREQUENCY REQUIREMENTS BECOME MORE STRINGENT, THE REQUIRED ANGLE TOLERANCES CAN BECOME TIGHTER THAN THE TYPICAL CAPABILITY OF MANY PRODUCTION PROCESSES. FOR THE EFFICIENT PRODUCTION OF PRECISION ATIAND SC-CUT RESONATORS WITH HIGH RESULTANT YIELDS, AN ...

THE NEW NON-LINEAR CRYSTAL BETA-BARIUM BORATE (B-BAB(2)O(4), BBO) HAS BEEN RECENTLY IDENTIFIED AS A VERY PROMISING MATERIAL FOR NONLINEAR FREQUENCY CONVERSION, AND OPTICAL PARAMETRIC OSCILLATION. IT IS INDEED AN EXCELLENT MATERIAL FOR PRODUCING TUNABLE LASER RADIATION FROM 400 TO 700NM WHEN IT IS USED AS AN OPO, PUMPED BY A THIRD HARMONIC 354.7NM FROM A ND:YAG LASER. IT IS PROPOSED THAT A PRACTICA ...
