EMISSION CONTROL (EMCON), INCLUDING RADAR EMISSION MANAGEMENT, IS A SUBDIVISON OF THE MUCH GREATER SUBJECT OF BATTLE MANAGEMENT. AT PRESENT, THERE IS NOT A FULL DEVELOP AND NAVY ACCEPTED TECHNIQUE FOR EXAMINING THE ENTIRE TECHNICAL MANAGEMENT OF POTENTIAL SEA BATITLES. THIS PROPOSED EFFORT WILL FOCUS ON A VALUABLE SUBSET OF BATTLE STRATEGY, THE INTERPLAY BETWEEN ELECTROMAGNETIC EMISSION CONTROL AN ...

COUNTERMEASURES DESIGNED AGAINST SATELLITES MUST KEEP PACE WITH RAPID STRIDES PRESENTLY BEING MADE IN SOPHISTICATED USE OF OCEAN SURVEILLANCE-TYPE SATELLITES. THESE ADVANCES IN SURVEILLANCE INCLUDE HIGH TECHNOLOGY ELECTRONIC HARDWARE AND SIGNAL PROCESSING. THE PROPOSED EFFORT WILL FOCUS ON DEVELOPMENT OF AN INNOVATIVE SYSTEM CONCEPT FOR COUNTERMEASURES AGAINST PRESENT AND FUTURE SATELLITE SURVEILL ...

INFORMATION WHICH CAN BE MEASURED BY THE ELECTRONIC WARFARE SYSTEM IS AVAILABLE TO DETERMINE IN REALTIME THE EFFECTIVENESS OF ECM TECHNIQUES AGAINS MANY ATI-SHIP CAPABLE MISSILES. MISSILE CHARACTERISTICS AND ECM TECHNIQUES WILL BE EXAMINED TO IDENTIFY THE MEASURABLES. DATA UTILIZATION SCHEMES WILL BE DEFINED AND ASSESSMENT CRITERIA ESTABLISHED TO ACHIEVE THE ASSESSMENT CAPABILITY GOALS. A REFINED ...

TAC PROPOSES TO STUDY THE FEASIBILITY OF DETECTION AND LOCALIZING OIL DRUM SIZE OBJECTS ON/IN THE BOTTOM OF SURF ZONES. THE APPROACH IS TO ANALYZE THE PERFORMANCE PROBABILITIES AND DESIGN FEASIBILITY OF LOW FREQUENCY (20 TO 500 HZ) ACTIVE ELECTROMAGNETIC DESIGNS IN A TOWABLE, SUBMERGED HYDROFOIL CONFIGURATION. DETECTION SYSTEMS WOULD BE SUPPLEMENTED FOR LOCALIZATION BY EITHER NAVIGATIONAL FIX METH ...

THE EFFECTS OF NEGATIVE VOLTAGE PULSES (RESULTING FROM SIGNAL REFLECTIONS) ON THE INPUT SIGNAL PINS OF NMOS TECHNOLOGY MICROCIRCUITS ARE LARGELY UNKNOWN. THIS PHASE I PROPOSAL EXPLORES THE FEASIBILITY OF AN EXTENSIVE TEST AND EVALUATION PROGRAM TO DETERMINE THE SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM EFFECTS ON PERFORMANCE AND RELIABILITY DEGRADATION. THE PROGRAMS WILL EXAMINE THE EFFECTS OF NEGATIVE VOLTAGE PUL ...

ELECTRONIC MODULES THAT CAN BE FAULTED BY REMOTELY CONTROLLED SWITCHING ARE POTENTIALLY VALUABLE AIDS IN THE TRAINING OF OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL IN THE RECOGNITION AND DIAGNOSIS OF FAILURES ANDPERFORMANCE DEGRADATION IN COMPLEX ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS. OAS, INC., PROPOSES AN INVESTIGATION OF LOW-LEVEL MICROWAVE AND SUPERSONIC SWITCHING DEVICES THAT MIGHT BE ATTACHED TO AN ELECTRONIC MODULE ...

CURRENT DSMAC SYSTEM USES SPATIAL-BINARY PATTERN TO PERFORM SCENE MATCHING. SUCCESS DEMANDS CERTAIN RELIABLE TERRAIN CHARACTERISTICS BE PRESENT AND EXTRACTABLE. ERGO, THE PRESENT OF CERTAIN OTHER TERRAIN CHARACTERISTICS MIGHT PRECLUDE SUCCESS, SUCH AS LINEAR FEATURES LIKE ROADS AND STREAMS. THIS IS THE SCENE AVAILABILITY PROBLEM. FURTHERMORE, FEATURES SELECTED FOR MATCHING ANALYSIS SHOULD BE IMMUN ...

THE TREND IN ALL MATERIALS IS TOWARD THE CONTROL OF MICROSTRUCTURE. IN CERAMICS AND CERMETS THE EMPHASIS IS ON THE REDUCTION OF CRYSTALLITE SIZE AND THEREBY ON IMPROVING PHYSICAL PROPERTIES. POWDERS SHOULD BE EQUIZAXED AND LIMITED TO SUBMICRON RANGE, WITHIN A NARROW AND SPECIFIC SIZE DISTRIBUTION. EVEN MORE IMPORTANTLY LARGE QUANTITIES OF POWDERS MUST BE AVAILABLE AT REASONABLE COST. AS PRESENTLY ...
