GENERATOR USED PRIMARY POWER SYSTEMS ARE THE ACHILLES HEEL OF TACTICAL COMMAND AND CONTROL SYSTEMS, FIELD HOSPITALS, AND OTHER TACTICAL SUPPORT FACILITIES. THEY ARE NOISY AND PRONE TO FAILURE AT THE MOST CRITICAL TIMES. TACTICAL POWER USING SYSTEMS HAVE DIFFERENT POWER DUTY CYCLES AND POWER FACTORS. SOME ARE PREDICTABLE; OTHER TOTALLY RANDOM; AND MANY MUST BE DEPENDED UPON IN THE "HEAT OF THE BATT ...

SCOPE PROPOSES TO DEVELOP A DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING CONCEPT FOR THE REALTIME DETECTION AND IDENTIFICATION OF HF EMITTERS AND THEIR PLATFORMS. THIS INVESTIGATION WILL SPECIFICALLY EVALUATE HF EMITTER CHARACTERISTICS AND PHENOMENA OF POTENTIAL INTEREST FOR IDENTIFICATION. SIGNAL PROCESSING TECHNIQUES AND ALGORITHMS WILL BE DEFINED TO EXPLOIT EMITTER AND PLATFORM IDENTIFIABLE SIGNAL CHARACTERISTICS ...

THE TECHNICAL OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO ESTABLISH THE FEASILBILITY OF SATISFYING THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE U.S. ARMY COMMUNICATIONS ELECTRONICS COMMAND (CECOM) FOR RAPID AND EFFECTIVE MODELING OF U.S. ARMY COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS. THE METHOD WE PROPOSE FOR SATISFYING THESE REQUIREMENTS IS TO ADAPT A TOP-DOWN DESIGN SYSTEM FOR ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS BEING DEVELOPED FOR THE U.S. NAVY TO MODEL-ING OF C ...

FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SYSTEMS IN AMMUNITION PACKAGING DESIGN. EXPERT SYSTEMS WOULD BE USED BY A DESIGNER INDEPENDENTLY OR IN CONJUNCTION WITH A COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN SYSTEM. THE EXPERT SYSTEM WOULD BE PC BASED, MENU-DRIVEN, AND USER INTERACTIVE. THROUGH A SERIES OF QUESTIONS, THE SYSTEM WOULD SOLICIT INFORMATION ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT A PRODUCT WILL BE SHIFTED, STORED, ...

3-D SENSING TECHNOLOGY HAS PROGRESSED TO THE POINT THAT HIGH SPEED, 3-D ROBOT VISION FOR TRACKING OBJECTS IN A WORK CELL MAY BE ACHIEVABLE. PERCEPTRON IS AGGRESSIVELY PURSUING 3-D SENSING AND RELATED TECHNOLOGIES AND CAN MAKE SIGNIFICANT TECHNOLOGICAL PROGRESS TOWARD THE SOLICITED PROGRAM GOALS. PERCEPTRON IS CURRENTLY DEVELOPING A SERIES OF 3-D SCANNERS TO SUIT THE NEEDS OF ROBOT RELATED OPERATIO ...

SEVERAL TESTS CAN BE PERFORMED ON THERMAL IMAGING SYSTEMS TO DETERMINE PERFORMANCE. MINIMUM RESOLVABLE TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE, MRT, IS THE MOST WIDELY USED SPECIFICATION PARAMETER AND A BASIC INGREDIENT IN THE PREDICTION OF TARGET ACQUISITION CAPABILITIES OF THE SYSTEM. CURRENT METHODS TO MEASURE MRT FOR A THERMAL IMAGING SYSTEM RELY HEAVILY ON THE SUBJECTIVE NATURE OF A HUMAN OBSERVER. AS THE USE ...
