A DEVICE IS HEREIN PROPOSED WHICH CAN BE INCORPORATED INTO A PROJECTILE, SUCH AS A RAIL GUN PROJECTILE, TO CONTROL ATTITUDE. THE DEVICE, A MODIFIED NUTATION DAMPER, HAS ESSENTIALLY ONLY ONE MOVING PART AND SO CAN BE MADE, TO EXHIBIT EXTREME STRENGTH. BY CONTROLLING THE PROJECTILE'S ATTITUDE DURING FLIGHT, A STRAP DOWN SEEKER CAN BE MADE TO MECHANICALLY SCAN FOR TARGET ACQUISITION. THE ATTITUDE CON ...

SOME OF THE LASER RADARS PROPOSED FOR SPACE-BASED SENSORS ENGAGED IN SURVBEILLANCE, ACQUISITION AND TRACKING FOR THE STRATEGIC DEFENSE INITIATIVE MAY REQUIRE THE USE OF SINGLE- FREQUENCY LASERS FOR COHERENT, HETERODYNE DETECTION OF RETURN SIGNALS. IN SOME SENSOR CONFIGURATIONS THE RELATIVE VELOCITIES BETWEEN SOURCE AND TARGET MAY VARY WIDELY, RE- QUIRING WIDEBAND TUNABILITY OF THE LOCAL OSCILLATOR ...

Knowledge Based Systems, Inc. (KBSI) proposes to conduct research and development leading to the Advanced Distributed and Parallel Technologies for System-of-Systems Modeling & Simulation (ADAPTATION) toolkit and supporting discipline. The proposed toolkit will enable simulation event team members and stakeholders to better manage data and metadata and will improve verification and validation pro ...

There is a demand for a novel method by which memory addresses may be reconfigured. To achieve this goal, QuickFlex proposes the development of Q-Remap. The Q-Remap technology will provide a two-step scheme to reorganize memory addresses, both with an initial translation and with the ability to make further changes at runtime. Q-Remap functions without disrupting modern optimizations such as ca ...

QuickFlex is creating a standardized development suite for decision engines which can be inserted into any number of systems to provide an "off-the-shelf' component for monitoring inputs from various sensors. The inputs, their meaning, and their relationships are unique to each system, but the decision engine, and the tools used to setup that engine, will be provided as a common platform. The gene ...

Over 95% of the multilayer ceramic capacitors manufactured worldwide use base metal electrode (BME) technology and they are one of the key components in much of the modern electronics. BME capacitors have, over the last 20 years, made significant improvements in performance and reliability; making them more competitive for a wide range of applications. However, there remains significant concerns ...

The process by which weapon systems go from point of manufacture to field usage is not a simple one. Devices can be held in storage for decades before use, and they can be subjected to significant and potentially damaging environmental conditions throughout the systems lifecycle. Latent and intermittent failures occur, and it is difficult to detect these malfunctions without actively monitoring ...
