ALGORITHMS ARE DERIVED THAT DEFINE THE PATHS OF MAXIMUM COHERENCY FOR A SEISMIC EVENT GENERATED BY FIRING AN ARTILLERY WEAPON FROM AN ARBITRARY LOCATION. SIGNAL EXTRACTION TECHNIQUES ARE DESCRIBED TO EXTRACT THE COHERENT SIGNAL FROM AN EVENT RECORDED ON MULTIPLE RECEIVERS. SIMULATED BATTLEFIELD RECORDINGS ARE GENERATED BY TREATING THE SEISMIC SIGNATURE OF ARTILLERY WEAPONS AS IMPULSE RESPONSES FRO ...

The advanced technology described in this proposal promises to increase the performance of laboratory and, specifically, tabletop x-ray lasers by up to an order of magnitude. Such gains in performance coupled with compact technology will lead to the introduction of the world s first table-top, commercial x-ray laser. Tetra proposes to develop an advanced driver for the laboratory laser based upo ...

One of the biggest problems faced by both military and non-military personnel in planning and conducting Operations Other Than War (OOTW) and Law Enforcement (LE) is a lack of cultural awareness. A lack of cultural awareness in OOTW causes misplanning and misinterpretation in the areas of economics, politics, religion, and historical events. The objective of the proposed work is to produce a des ...

This proposal addresses an approach to millimeter wave imaging called encoded image detection (EID). The concept offers a means of achieving a low cost, all weather seeker for smart munition and submunitions. Its low cost potential makes adaptation of the imager also attractive for a variety of other military applications such as search and rescue, surveillance, and security. Most current devel ...

The achievement in realizing low-loss waveguides on any surface of interests using photolime gel polymer motivates us to further investigate the feasibility of employing such a unique material as a multi-functional polymer that can provide modulation, switching, wavelength conversion and amplification simultaneously on any optoelectronic substrate of interest. In this program, we propose to resear ...

SEEKER STABILIZATION VIBRATION SUPPRESSION ELECTRO-ACTIVE MATERIALS PROPULSION RESEARCH WILL USE ITS MINIATURE "FERRO-MAGNETIC" ACTUATOR EFFORTD CAN BE USED TO CREATE A "SEEKER ANTI-MOTION SYSTEM". THIS TECHNOLOGY TAKES AN AGGRESSIVE APPROACH TOWARD "INTELLIGENTLY" MANAGING THE SEEKER DYNAMIC RESPONSE TO INDUCED MOTION BY ISOLATING IT "DYNAMICALLY" FROM THE REAMINDER OF THE AIRFRAME USING ELECTRO- ...

This project is dedicated to the development of an adaptive network security management tool that is analogous to implementing and incident/response paring mechanism on top of a universal remote control facility for a variety of network and security tools, network types and operating systems. Our proposed approach to accomplishing this is to integrate and agent architecture with a Case-Based Reas ...

Mountain Wave, Inc. proposes to investigate the development of an automated network security management product that would allow personnel within an Information Technology (IT) organization to combine information from heterogeneous sources into an integrated application that captures business processes and automates tasks to "prevent" potential security violations. This product will: be "extensib ...

Sensors, capacitors, and conducting features such as resistors and capacitors on circuit boards are produced from metal and ceramic powders 1-12 These powders are manufactured by liquid phase precipitation routes which often start with reduction of metal salts or by solid-state routes where solid reactants are mixed, heated and then milled. The solid-state processing is generally repeated several ...

This proposal addresses the exploratory development and evaluation of novel thin film and/or monolithic detonators as diverters for guided spinning projectile use. A number of such detonators comprise a diverter technology termed RMDM, (for Ring Matrix Diverter Module) which, along with the SSPG (for Small Spinning Projectile Guidance) seeker, forms the basis for inexpensive miniature guided proje ...
