INNOVATIVE TECHNIQUES ARE PROPOSED FOR INVESTIGATION IN A PHASE I EFFORT TO DETERMINE PASSIVE RF SURVEILLANCE AND TARGETING SENSORS AND ASSOCIATED METHODOLOGY FOR PERFORMING RAPID AND ACCURATE MEASUREMENTS OF RANGE/LOCATION OF OTH THREAT RF EMITTERS. THE ESSENTIAL PHYSICAL CONSTRAINTS TO BE OBSERVED ARE SENSOR COMPATIBILITYWITH, AND PORTABILITY OF THE ASSOCIATED RANGE DETERMINATION/ PROCESSING EQU ...

ADVANCED COMPOSITES LABORATORIES WILL DEVELOP AN IMPROVED MOUNTAINEERING SKI FOR MILITARY USE. WE WILL INCORPORATE THE BEST OF DOWNHILL SKI TECHNOLOGY WITH THE BEST OF TELE MARK AND MOUNTAINEERING SKI TECHNOLOGY TO PRODUCE A SKI FOR THE US MARINE CORPS WHICH WILL MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE MARINE CORPS TOICS N86-13. WE WILL USE ADVANCED COMPOSITE MATERIALS TO ALLOW US TO PROVIDE A HIGH PERFORMAN ...

Marine storms strongly affect operations at sea, both DoD and commercial. The DMSP SSM/I clearly depicts certain features of marine storms. Improved depiction of these storms will aid nowcasting in support of execution.of operations at sea and fore- casting of the evolution of these storms in support of planning. However, SSM/I data as well as many other satellite data have only small impacts on t ...

An atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometer (APCIMS) will be designed to optimally measure a variety of gaseous species involved in marine boundary layer chemistry and condensation processes. The design of the instrument will modify prior technology, developed at the Geophysics Directorate of the Air Force Phillips Laboratory, to be included in the payload of a remotely piloted, ...

Existing materials used for marine cable connectors each have drawbacks in terms of cost or performance. Alden Products Company proposes a program to develop a family of cable connectors and adapters that lower the present cost/performance barrier in two ways; through the use of alternative materials and through new manufacturing methods using the existing materials. The main goals of P ...

The introduction of a whole new class of transform methods, notably the wavelet transforms, which permit decomposition of observed phenomena into different physical scales and the computational leverage provided by multiscale image processing tech- niques, when applied to multisensor Lmage data, promises to increase the sensitivity and reliability of Lmage processing systems in several application ...

ALPHATECH has recently developed an integrated software environment for developing and testing prototype fault detection and identification (FDI) systems. It has been applied with excellent results (zero false and missed alarms, with 4% probability of deferral to the next decision time) to helicopter gearbox test-stand accelerometer data. The front-end of our environment extracts novel feature set ...
