IN THIS PHASE I EFFORT, THE GOAL IS TO DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF CONDUCTING ACCELERATED CORROSION TESTING OF VEHICLES BY SIMULATING 5-10-15 YEARS OF FIELD LIFE IN A COMPUTER CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT SIMULATION CHAMBER. THE DIFFERENT REQUIREMENTS OF THE CHAMBER, THE TYPES OF ENVIRONMENTS PRESENT IN THE DIFFERENT GEOGRAPHICAL REGIONS, THE CORRELATION BETWEEN ACCELERATED CHAMBER TESTS AND FIELD COND ...

A quality simulation which allows a user to simulate the acoustic emissions in a multi-source environment and then study the effects these conditions have on a set of acoustic sensors would be of great value. As acoustic sensors technology continues to advance with robust algorithms for detection, tracking and identification as well as high performance hardware providing real-time operation, thes ...

THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS TASK IS TO DEFINE ONE OR MORE APSE(S) FOR THE AIRMICS COMMAND BASED ON THE DEVELOPMENT, ENHANCEMENT, AND MAINTENANCECHARACTERISTICS FOR MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS (MISS). APSE(S) WILL BE FORMED FOR THESE THREE MAJOR DOMAINS, WITH EMPHASIS ON LARGE, MEDIUM, AND SMALL SYSTEMS. DURING PHASE I, RESEARCH IS PERFORMED TO IDENTIFY EXISTING CASE TOOLS, ENVIRONMENTS, METHODOLOGIES ...

This project applies a combination of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), Genetic Algorithms (GA), and CAD software to the problem of optimum armor design. Previous work for TACOM has established the efficacy of ANN/GA as applied to the problem of 1-D armor design. This new work will extend the concept to full 3-D vehicle geometries (CAD models). The CAD part of the code will handle the 3D data d ...

This effort will integrate an advanced technology speech recognition system (SRS) with a computer-assisted contingency planning training model. The SRS makes use of algorithms developed in the Speech Technology and Research Labratory of SRI International. Its state-of-the-art approach provides significant improvements in accuracy and robustness over other approaches. It provides for speaker ind ...

UTS will investigate technologies that can be applied to an 'after-action-review' capability in support of weapon system development and testing. The capability can be used to provide standard "Debrief Module" products during and after a DIS experiment. The Debrief Module will support "what if" analysis during and within hours after a DIS experiment, including an assessment of the impact of alte ...
