PROCESSING OF SAR DATA IN REAL TIME REQUIRES HIGH SPEED COMPUTATION DEVICES CURRENTLY BEYOND THE STATE-OF-THE-ART OF CONVENTIONAL METHODS. DESIRED PROCESSORS MUST ALSO BE SMALL, RUGGED AND LOW POWER TO BE DEPLOYED ON AIRCRAFT. OPTICAL TECHNIQUES CAN SATISFY THESE REQUIREMENTS WITH IMAGINATIVE ARCHITECTURES. THIS PROPOSAL PRESENTS AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH FOR REAL TIME SAR IMAGE RECONSTRUCTION THAT C ...

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 ...

NONDESTRUCTIVE EVALUATION OF MUNITIONS PRESENTS SPECIAL PROBLEMS THAT CANNOT BE SOLVED WITH CONVENTIONAL TECHNIQUES. AN ELECTRONIC X-RAY IMAGING SYSTEM WILL BE STUDIED TO DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF ITS USE IN ADVANCED RADIOGRAPHIC IMAGING TECHNIQUES SUCH AS REMOTE ON-LINE INSPECTION, MULTISPECTRAL RADIOGRAPHY AND BACKSCATTER TOMOGRAPHY.

THE CONTRACTOR SHALL DEVELOP A FUZZY SET METHODOLOGY FOR UNCERTAINTY ANALYSIS IN PROBABILISTIC SEISMIC SAFETY ASSESSMENT OF NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS. FUZZY SET LOGIC WILL BEUSED FOR COLLECTING, QUANTIFYING AND PROPAGATING SUBJECTIVE,ENGINEERING JUDGEMENT USED IN THE UNCERTAINTY ANALYSIS. IN PHASE I, FEASIBILITY OF THE PROPOSED APPROACH WILL BE DEMONSTRATED BY APPLYING IT TO SELECTED PARTS OF A PROBABI ...

GEOPHEX, LTD. PROPOSES TO DEVELOP AN AIRBORNE ELECTROMAGNETIC (AEM) SYSTEM DEDICATED TO THE DETECTION OF SUBMARINES IN THE OCEAN (TOPIC NO. N87-22, THE DOD SBIR PROGRAM, 1987). THE AEM METHOD HAS RECENTLY EMERGED AS A VIABLE TECHNIQUE FOR AIRBORNE CHARTING OF WATER DEPTH (IN EXCESS OF PERHAPS 100 M), WATER CONDUCTIVITY (THUS, SALINITY AND TEMPERATURE VARIATIONS), AND BOTTOM SEDIMENT CONDUCTIVITY ( ...

DESIGN, SIMULATION, FABRICATION, AND EVALUATION OF A PROTOTYPE VERY LARGE SCALE INTEGRATION (VLSI) DATA ACQUISITION SUBSYSTEM IS PROPOSED. AVAILABLE STATE-OF-THE-ART ONE MICRON CMOS TECHNOLOGY MAY ALLOW INCORPORATION OF MORE THAN 128 CHANNELS OF 24-BIT 300 MHZ COUNTERS INTO A SINGLE INTEGRATED CIRCUIT. A PROTOTYPE SYSTEM OF SIMPLE REPEATED CELLS OF COUNTERS, CONTROL AND I/O BUFFERS HAS BEEN DESIGN ...
