Accelerated development of directed energy technologies has presented new problems to mission planners and weapon operators regarding the capabilities, lethality and performance of weapon systems. The Emerging Weapons Technology Evaluation Model willaddress these shortcomings by providing users of varying technical expertise 1) the ability to model a variety of weapons in various mission scenario ...

The SOCOM direction finding (DF) requirement is a small, low-power package that is modular in design and capable of interoperating with a variety of receivers including the SIGINT Threat Warning receivers currently under development by Digital ReceiverTechnology, Inc. and Applied Signal Technology, Inc. Applied Signal and Image Technology is uniquely positioned to offer SOCOM a solution for this ...

Chesapeake PERL is a contract manufacturing company using the baculovirus expression system for mass production of proteins in lepidopterous insect larvae. PERL's automated in-line insect mass rearing and inoculation systems enables the production oflarge quantities of complex, biologically fully functional proteins. The baculovirus expression system as developed in the eighties and nineties is ...

Under phase I of this program, DRT identified a feasible design approach that very nearly meets or exceeds the requirements for this portable wireless receiving system. The critical areas of size, weight, power consumption, performance and ruggedness wereall addressed. Along with major breakthroughs in power and size reduction, the mechanical design was refined to implement an innovative, passiv ...

SAR target/feature detection can be divided into to separate aspects: 1) achieving sufficient energy on target for detection; and 2) discriminating the target from the clutter. Let's assume that there is sufficient target return to overcome the thermalnoise floor. Then target detection is solely dependent upon separating the target from the forest clutter. VSAR offers significant benefits for ...

The overall goal of this program is to build a compact, lightweight, portable laboratory kit that can be used to analyze chemistries, cell counts, parasites, bacteria, and other pathogens in blood, urine, and body fluids. Our proposed Portable Micro-Lab(PML) kit will be composed of two sub-systems:1) Environmentally stable microdot test strips smaller than a stick of chewing gum and containing th ...

Multilayer chemical protective gloves that provide 24 hours of protection against chemical warfare agents while being more resistant to petroleum oils and flames than the currently used butyl rubber gloves will be developed. This will be achieved usingaqueous nanocomposite elastomeric coatings specially formulated for use in newly designed multilayer gloves. In phase 1, InMat demonstrated that a f ...

Besides performing a thorough statistical analysis of the government furnished data sets to determine the features and metrics for spectral unmixing, Intelligent Automation, Inc. and Prof. C. Chang of University of Maryland at Baltimore County also proposean innovative approach to detect and classify chemical and biological agents. There are two major steps. First, we propose to apply a recently d ...

The Phase II effort builds on Phase I. Phase II starts with an integrated product and process design and engineering analysis of the baseline structure described in the Phase I report and variants that may reduce cost and risk. The emphasis is on use ofnonlinear FEA with continuum analysis to handle stiffeners, window frames, and connectors. After review and approval by SOCOM, the design is fab ...
