IT HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED BY THIS FIRM THAT FIBER REINFORCED THERMOPLASTIC COMPOSITES MATERIALS OFFER COST AND PERFORMANCE ADVANTAGES COMPARED TO CONVENTIONAL THERMOSETTING MATERIALS. THE INDUSTRY IS GOING TO BE FACED WITH SEARCHING FOR THREE DIMENSIONAL FABRICATION TECHNIQUES THAT ARE AUTOMATED AND USE ADVANCED CONCEPTS IN CAD/CAM. THIS PROPOSAL DESCRIBES AN EFFORT TO USE AVAILABLE PRE-PREG MATERIAL ...

THE NEED EXISTS FOR A SIMULATION CAPABLE OF EVALUATING THE BENEFITS OF EMERGING ROTORCRAFT TECHNOLOGIES IN THE CONTEXT OF MULTI-ROTORCRAFT, MULTI-THREAT AIR-TO-GROUND COMBAT ENGAGEMENT. THE OBJECTIVE OF THE PHASE I EFFORT IS TO DEMONSTRATE THE FEASIBILITY OF INNOVATIVE ANALYTICAL/PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES TO MEET THIS NEED AND TO PROVIDE A FIRM BASIS AND DIRECTION FOR FORMULATION OF A PHASE II DEVELO ...

THE PROPOSED STUDY WILL GENERATE PERFORMANCE AND DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS FOR AN RF SUBSYSTEM TO BE ADDED TO THE TRAINING AND MAINTENANCE SYSTEM (TRAMS). PRELIMINARY GUIDELINES FOR THE PROPOSED DESIGN EFFORTS ARE (A) AN INSTANTANEOUS EMITTER CAPACITY OF UP TO 150 EMITTERS (B) 2-18 GHZ FREQUENCY COVERAGE, AND (C) LIGHT WEIGHT AND PACKAGED FOR CARRY-ON EMPLOYMENT. THE PHASE I TASKS WILL REVIEW OVERALL ...

A TEO-PHASE INVESTIGATION OF TECHNIQUES FOR IMPROVING THE CONFIDENCE LEVEL OF EMITTER DETECTION AND IDENTIFICATION IN ELECTRONIC WARFARE SYSTEMS IS PROPOSED. PHASE I WILL CONCENTRATE ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF LOW LEVEL IMAGE PROCESSING TECHNIQUES APPLIED TO HISTOGRAMMED RADAR WARNING RECEIVER PULSE DATA IN ORDER TO LOCATE OBVIOUS EMITTERS AND AREAS OF PROBABLE AMBIGUITY. PHASE II WILL APPLY EXPERT SYS ...

OF SPECIFIC INTEREST TO THE U.S. AIR FORCE IS THE SIMULATION OF FEW VERSUS FEW AIR-TO-AIR ENGAGEMENTS TO EVALUATE NEW DESIGNS FOR WEAPON SYSTEMS, AERODYNAMICS AND TACTICS. A DIGITAL MODEL WITH THIS CAPABILITY WOULD HAVE TO SATISFY THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE INDIVIDUAL AIR FORCE APPLICATIONS, INCLUDING CONFORMITY TO ESTABLISHED AND PROPOSED MULTIPLE MODEL SIMULATION FRAMEWORKS. THE TWO MOST STRONGLY S ...

AN INCREASINGLY IMPORTANT REQUIREMENT IN ECM JAMMER SYSTEMS IS COHERENT RECEPTION OF THREAT SIGNALS, PRECISE MANIPULATION OF THE WAVEFORM AND RETRANSMISSION BACK TO THE THREAT FOR PURPOSES OF DECEPTION. THE DRFM (DIGITAL RF MEMORY) IS ONE PARTICULAR TYPE OF STORAGE DEVICE WHICH MAKESCOHERENT JAMMING MODULATION SCHEMES POSSIBLE. DRFM DEVICES,HOWEVER, ARE EXPENSIVE AND HAVE SEVERAL PERFORMANCE PROBL ...

THERE IS A NEED FOR A MINIATURE BLOWER TO BE USED TO REDUCE THERMAL STRESS, PROTECT RESPIRATION AND INHIBIT FOGGING IN NUCLEAR, BIOLOGICAL, CHEMICAL (NBC) PROTECTIVE MASKS. AN OPTIMALLY SMALL AND LIGHT BLOWER COMPATIBLE WITH DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS IS DESIRABLE. TO MINIMIZE BATTERY WEIGHT, MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY OF THE BLOWER AND THE MOTOR IS REQUIRED. SOME EXISTING BLOWERS CAN MEET THE SIZE AND FLOW RE ...

THE NAVY TODAY POSSESSES DATABASES SUPPORTING THE UNIQUE REQUIREMENTS OF INDIVIDUAL COMBAT TRAINING SYSTEMS. THESE INDIVIDUAL DATABASES ARE IMPLEMENTED USING DIFFERENT DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS (DBMSS) AND SUPPORT DIFFERING PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES. MANY EXIST ON SEPARATE COMPUTER HARDWARE. TO GENERATE ACCURATE AND REALISTIC SCENARIOS FOR BATTLE FORCE TACTICAL TRAINING, IT IS NECESSARY TO ACCESS, C ...
