THIS PROPOSAL DESCRIBES THE START OF AN EFFORT TO DEVELOP AN ADAPTIVE JAMMER SYSTEM. THERE ARE SEVERAL TECHNICAL PROBLEMS TO SOLVE BEFORE THE ADAPTIVE JAMMER CAN BE DEVELOPED. ONE DIFFICULTY ENCOUNTERED WITH THE ADAPTIVE JAMMER SYSTEM CAN BE SOLVED BY DESIGNING THE EXCITER TO PROVIDE THE REQUIRED SIGNAL TO THE RF AMPLIFIER. HOWEVER, THE RF POWER AMPLIFIER PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN SOLVED. THE EFFORT IN ...

Efficient and accurate analysis is crucial for timely and cost-effective development of emerging vertical lift (EVL), including eVTOL and hybrid configurations. Due to similarities between conventional rotorcraft and EVL, many of the critical technologies for analysis of EVL are available in existing rotorcraft comprehensive analysis tools. However, existing rotorcraft analysis tools are tailored ...

There is growing interest in the possibility of turboelectric propulsion for aircraft primarily due to the potential for significant fuel savings. This is enabled by the decoupling of the turbine engine and propulsor. The turbine’s shaft speed can then be optimized for power production while the shaft speed of the propulsor fan can be independently optimized for efficient thrust. Other advantage ...

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 ...

To address the Army’s need for a platform-agnostic, low-SWaP-C fire control radar, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to advance the development of the Advanced Fire Control Radar for Group 1 and 2 Unmanned Surveillance (ARGUS) systems proven feasible in Phase I. This system is based on integration of patch antenna arrays for transmit and receive capabilities tied into low-power COTS pro ...

In this work, Areté Associates proposes to extend its long history of tracking and detection solutions to meet the challenge of tracking small and dim targets in high-clutter environments using a mid-wave infrared (MWIR) sensor coupled with innovative detection algorithms and processing. We present a track-before-detect, signal-integration approach that merges the functionality of Areté’s prov ...

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 ...
