A progressive system development is proposed which uses Bayesian methodology for combined detect, track, localize, and classify. The core paradigm focuses on detection followed by various estimation schemes to extract information on contact type, track, and location from the detector. A rapid prototype development using the Generic Multipurpose Processor (GMP) will provide optimal detection ...

The Navy desires to model the cost and performance trades influencing composite material and manufacturing method selection. During Phase I, KaZaK Composites (KCI) will prepare a summary of factors influencing cost of composite aircraft and missile components. Ten different types of aircraft and missile structures will be analyzed in detail. Candidate materials, manufacturing methods and st ...

This proposal addresses the fabrication of a novel high-density Optical-readout Nonvolatile Ferroelectric Random Access memories (ONF-RAMs). The optical readout mechanism is very robust and has a fast access times of sub-nanoseconds. The proposed device is based on a recently discovered ferroelectric-semiconductor interface phenomenon, at Clemson University, which enables ferroelectric thin film t ...

Current field deployed remote sensing capabilities are limited since they must be either hand emplaced or helicopter dropped from low altitudes. This is impractical in hostile, remote, or covert applications. A sensor capability is needed that can be dropped from high altitude, high performance aircraft and multiple sensors delivered to a desired precise location. Due to the expense in flight ...
