ADVANCED OPTICAL SYSTEMS PROPOSES TO CONCEPTUALLY DESIGN, EXPERIMENTALLY VALIDATE AND DOCUMENT A MULTI-POINT FIBER-OPTIC NETWORK TO SUPPORT SIMULTANEOUS MULTIPLE RADAR SYSTEM INPUTS. THE PROPOSED NETWORK DESIGN WILL INCLUDE THE NETWORK TOPOLOGY, PROTOCOL STRUCTURE, AND CRITICAL ITEM SPECIFICATIONS NECESSARY TO SUPPORT BEACON/IFF, ANALOG RADAR VIDEO CHANNELS, AND CONTROL INFORMATION OVER THE NETWOR ...

LARGE, EMBEDDED REAL-TIME SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENTS OFTEN LACK PERFORMANCE ENGINEERING EXPERTISE DUE TO A SHORTAGE OF PERFORMANCE EXPERTS. EXPERT SYSTEM TECHNOLOGY OFFERS A SOLUTION TO THE SHORTAGE OF PERFORMANCE ENGINEERING EXPERTS. TWO TECHNICAL OBJECTIVES MUST BE RESEARCHED BEFORE AN EXPERT SYSTEM BASED ASSISTANT FOR PERFORMANCE ENGINEERING CAN BE DEVELOPED: (1) DEFINITION OF A BODY OF UNDERLYING E ...

A SYSTEM IDENTIFICATION TECHNICAL IS PROPOSED FOR NON-DESTRUCTIVE TEST TO DETECT UNBOUNDS IN LARGE BONDED COMPONENTS. THE TECHNIQUE USES THE SYSTEM'S TIME RESPONSE DATA DUE TO RANDOM INPUT EXCITATION. SYSTEM'S EIGENVALUES AND EIGENVECTORS ARE RETRIEVED FROM THE TIME RESPONSES AND USED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF ACCURATE SYSTEM MATHEMATICAL MODELS. SYSTEM'S CHANGE DUE TO CRACKS, VOIDS, UNBONDS BETWEEN ...

METHODS ARE DESPERATELY NEEDED TO DISCERN THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF CRITICAL COMPONENTS OF WEAPON SYSTEMS SUCH AS PRESSURE VESSEL CASES. AT THIS TIME, NO TECHNIQUE EXISTS WHICH PERMITS A GLOBAL MONITORING OF THE OPERATIONAL READINESS OF ANY STRUCTURES, INCLUDING COMPOSITE MOTOR CASES. THE RANDOMDEC PROCEDURE, WHICH IS PLANNED TO BE UTILIZED UNDER THIS PROPOSED STUDY, APPEARS TO HAVE THE CAPABILI ...

THE OBJECTIVES OF THIS WORK ARE TO DEVELOP THE PRESSURE AND USEABLE ENERGY CHARACTERISTICS FOR FOUR (4) IMPORTANT EXPLOSIVES. THE EXPLOSIVES ARE PBX-113, PBX-114, PBX-115, AND PBX-9404. THESE ANALYSES WILL ADDRESS THE CLOSE-IN REGIME UP TO ABOUT 10 CHARGE RADII FROM THE EXPLOSIVE. THE PRESSURE TIME HISTORY AT FIXED STATIONS IN THE CALCULATIONS WILL ALSO BE MADE. THE EQUATION OF STATE FOR THE EXPLO ...

THIS PROJECT WILL RESEARCH AVAILABLE DATA AND LITERATURE TO SELECT THE MATERIALS, TECHNOLOGY, AND CONSTRUCTION METHOD OLOGY USEFUL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A WAXLESS, REDUCED LENGTH MILITARY SNOW SKI. FROM THE DATA BASE DEVELOPED, T THOSE SKIS AND TECHNOLOGY MOST PROMISING TO FULFILL THE GOALS OF THE CONTRACT WILL BE PURCHASED/CONSTRUCED AND TESTED FOFOR THEIR SUITABILITY AS A MILITARY SNOW SKI. PAR ...

PULSE WELDING TECHNIQUES FOR HSLA STEELS HAVE THE ADVANTAGES OF IMPROVING MICROSTRUCTURE, REDUCING DISTORTION AND INCREASING MECHANICAL PROPERTIES. THE PRIMARY OBJECTIVE IS TO IMPROVE RELIABILITY AND PREDICTABILITY OF WELDING HSLA STEELS. A NEW ADVANCED SENSING SYSTEM "EDAP" WILL PROVIDE REAL TIME PUDDLE SIZE AND QUALITY INFORMATION. THIS WILL IMPROVE THE CAPABILITIES OF AUTOMATED WELDING SYSTEMS. ...
