A PLAN FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A MESOSCALE WEATHER NOWCASTING SYSTEM IS PROPOSED. THAT SYSTEM WOULD BE USED AS A TACTICAL DECISION AID FOR SUPPORT OF TACTICAL ARMY OPERATIONS. THE SYSTEM WOULD BE COMPOSED OF MODULAR SENSOR PACKAGES, A TELEMETRY SYSTEM, A FLEXIBLE SYSTEM OF SENSOR DEPLOYMENT, AND A MICROPROCESSOR BASED TACTICAL COMPUTER SYSTEM FOR THE ANALYSIS AND DISPLAY OF DATA COLLECTED. THE PROP ...

ULTRASONIC NONDESTRUCTIVE TESTING HAS BECOME THE METHOD OF CHOICE FOR THE QUALITY ASSURANCE OF ADVANCED COMPOSITE MATERIALS. THE PROPOSED RESEARCH PROGRAM COVERS THE DEVELOPMENT OF A COMPUTER-BASED NDT METHOD FOR DETERMINING LOCAL FIBER VOLUME FRACTION AND RESIN POROSITY IN PRACTICAL LAMINATED COMPOSITES. THE COMPUTER ALGORITHMS WILL BE BASED ON EARLIER STUDIES THAT HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL FOR UNIDIR ...

A STEAMFLOODING/STEAM GENERATION SYSTEM IS PROPOSED FOR DEEP, HEAVY OIL RESERVOIRS. THIS CONCEPT MINIMIZES THE DOWNHOLE HEAT LOSSES, IMPROVES RELIABILITY AND REDUCES THE COST OF STEAM GENERATION. ITS FEATURES WILL MAKE STEAMING OF VERY DEEP WELLS (BELOW 7500 FEET) TECHNICALLY AND ECONOMICALLY FEASIBLE, AND WILL IMPROVE THE ECONOMICS OF SHALLOWER WELL STEAMFLOODING. THIS NOVEL CONCEPT SUPPLIES HEAT ...

THE UTILIZATION OF INTELLIGENT MAINTENANCE TUTORING SYSTEMS ACROSS A WIDE RANGE OF APPLICATIONS CAN BRING A NEW LEVEL OF ABILITY AND LEARNING. TO DEMONSTRATE THE POTENTIAL INHERENT IN THIS CONCEPT, COMPUTER * THROUGHT WILL BUILD AND DELIVER A SOFTWARE SYSTEM THAT IS A WORKING PROTOTYPE FOR A MAINTENANCE TRAINING SYSTEM FOR ASSISTING PERSONNEL IN FAULT DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR OF DEFECTIVE M16 INFANTRY ...

THIS EFFORT WILL DEVELOP A COMPUTER SIMULATION MODEL TO EVALUATE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF BOTH ON-BOARD AND OFF-BOARD AIRCRAFT SURVIVABILITY EQUIPMENT (ASE). THE MODEL FAMILY WILL INCLUDE GROUND BASED TARGET TRACKING RADAR AND AIRBORNE INTERCEPTOR RADAR MODELS, RF AND IR TARGET MODELS, RADAR AND IR SEEKER MODELS, FIVE DEGREE OF FREEDOM MISSILE MODEL WITH PROPORTIONAL NAVIGATION, CLUTTER AND NOISE ENVI ...

AN ISOPERFORMANCE MODEL IS DESCRIBED WHICH WILL PERMIT TRADE-OFFS BETWEEN SIGNIFICANT PEOPLE-RELATED ELEMENTS IN MILITARY SYSTEMS AND PERMIT HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGERS TO ANSWER "WHAT IF" QUESTIONS. SINCE THE TECHNIQUE INVOLVES ESTIMATING IN ADVANCE THE LIKELY CONSEQUENCES OF PARTICULAR COMBINATIONS OF PERSONNEL, TRAINING, AND EQUIPMENT FOR MILITARY SYSTEMS PERFORMANCE, IT IS LIKE A FRONT-END ANALYSI ...

A FREE FALL WATER SAMPLER BASED ON THE CHOPSTICK WATER SAMPLER BAG WILL BE DEVELOPED. THIS PORCUPINE SAMPLER WILL BE CAPABLE OF TAKING UP TO 36 THREE LITER WATER SAMPLES AT DEPTHS CONTROLLED FROM THE SURFACE, OR AT DEPTHS DETERMINED BY AN INTERNAL CONTROLLER. THE SAMPLE WILL BE OPTIMIZED FORMINIMUM TRAVEL TIME FROM THE SURFACE TO THE BOTTOM AND BACK SO THAT THE CURRENT FOUR HOUR ON STATION TIME FO ...
