THIS PROPOSAL DESCRIBES THE EVALUATION OF REQUIREMENTS FOR REMOTE WEATHER SAMPLING SYSTEMS APPLIED TO A SPECIFIED UNMANNED METEOROLOCIALRECONNAISSANCE AIRCRAFT. DATA TO BE GATHERED INCLUDE CLOUD STATISTICS, WATER CONTENT AND PARTICLE SIZE, DENSITY AND WIND. LIQUID WATER CONTENT MEASUREMENT IS CONSIDERED BASED ON USING EXISTING INSTRUMENTS AND THE PROPOSER'S CONCEPTUAL DESIGN OF A NEW INSTRUMENT. D ...

THE LIQUID WATER CONTENT OF CLOUDS IS ONE OF THE MOST FUNDAMENTAL QUANTITIES IN THE ATMOSPHERE. YET, NO INSTRUMENT HAS BEEN DEVELOPED FOR MEASURING LIQUID WATER CONTENT IN BOTH LIQUID AND SOLID PHASE CLOUDS. THIS IS A PROPOSAL TO DEVELOP THE PRELIMINARY DESIGN OF AN AIRBORNE INSTRUMENT FOR MEASURING LIQUID WATER IN ALL NATURAL CLOUDS, WITH EITHER LIQUID OR ICE CLOUD PARTICLES. THE SYSTEM WILL FEAT ...

THIS PROPOSAL DESCRIBES A FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR IMPLEMENTING A REALTIME, THREE-DIMENSIONAL CLOUD MODEL TO SUPPORT REENTRY VEHICLE TEST OPERATIONS. AN EXISTING RESEARCH CLOUD MODEL WOULD BE INTERFACED TO A MESOSCALE ATMOSPHERIC MODEL. THE COMBINED MODELING SYSTEM WOULD BE ADAPTED FOR USE AT THE KWAJALEIN MISSILE RANGE (KMR). FORECASTS OF DETAILED CLOUD FEATURES SUCH AS WATER CONTENT, RADAR REFLECTI ...

PHASE I OF THIS PROPOSAL IS CONCERNED WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF A DESIGN FOR A GENERIC INTELLIGENCE VALUE MODEL WHICH CAN BE USED FOR MANY DIFFERENT INTELLIGENCE AND WEAPON APPLICATIONS. THIS MODEL WILL ALLOW (FOR EACH PIECE AND LEVEL OF DATA) AN ASSOCIATED ESTIMATE OF THE INTELLIGENCE VALUE OF THIS DATA TO AN OPPOSING INTELLIGENCE SERVICE. THE DESIGN INVOLVES ASSOCIATIONAL RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN DIF ...

THIS RESEARCH WILL INVESTIGATE PERFORMANCE MEAUREMENT TECHNIQUES AND COMPUTER SIMULATION TECHNIQUES REQUIRED FOR AN ON-BOARD AIRCRAFT "EMBEDDED TRAINING" CAPABILITY APPLICABLE TO BOTH TRAINING AND MUNITION CONCEPT EVALUATION. DATA REQUIREMENTS FOR ON-BOARD SIMULATION OF THE MUNITIONS TO ACCOMPLISH SIMULATED LAUNCH, FLYOUT AND TERMINAL ENGAGEMENT WILL BE DETERMINED. AVAILABILITY OF REAL-WORLD INPUT ...

THE PROJECT WILL ADOPT EXISTING SENSOR AND ELECTRICAL CONTROL TECHNOLOGY AND EQUIPMENT TO SENSE CHANGES IN ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS THAT MIGHT BE DETRIMENTAL TO PERSONNEL AND EQUIPMENT IN DEEP UNDERGROUND TUNNEL COMPLEXES. BASED UPON LIMITING CONDITIONS SET INTO CONTROL SYSTEM COMPUTER PROGRAM, THE SENSOR SIGNALS WILL AUTOMATICALLY CLOSE OFF THE TUNNEL COMPLEX FROM ABOVE GROUND ENVIRONMENTS OR ISOLAT ...

THE PROPOSED EFFORT IS TO DEVELOP MATERIALS AND PROCEDURES TO APPLY REECH-FROUDE SCALING TO SUB-SCALE MODEL TESTS OF REINFORCED CONCRETE STRUCTURES SUBJECTED TO CONVENTIONAL (NON-NUCLEAR) WEAPON EFFECTS.

THE COMBINED REQUIREMENTS FOR HIGH SPATIAL RESOLUTION AND HIGH SIGNAL-TO-NOISE RATIO HAVE LED MANY RECENT TRACKING SYSTEMS ANALYSTS TO CONSIDERACTIVE TRACKERS IMPLEMENTED WITH PHASED ARRAY OPTICS. THE PHASED ARRAY OVERCOMES THE TECHNOLOGY LIMITS ON APERTURE SIZE WHILE THE LASER SOURCES PROVIDE A DETECTABLE TARGET RETURN. THE PHASED ARRAY IMAGER HAS BEEN MODELLED FOR BOTH NON-COHERENT AND FULLY COH ...
