THIS RESEARCH AIMS TO DEVELOP AN IMPROVED SOURCE OF MULTIPLY-CHARGED IONS FOR HEAVY-ION INERTIAL FUSION AND OTHER APPLICATIONS THAT REQUIRE VERY HIGH BRIGHTNESS. A CONVENTIONAL GAS-DISCHARGE SOURCE IS PLANNED THAT DEPENDS ON THE COMBINATION OF TWO ADDITIONAL NOVEL FEATURES. FIRST, THE INITIAL DENSE HOT PLASMA GAS GENERATED FROM A HIGH PRESSURE MICROCAPILLARY DISCHARGE IS FURTHER HEATED BY A LASER ...

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 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 ...

Aurora Flight Sciences, with expertise in designing and manufacturing low Reynolds number high-altitude aircraft, proposes to develop new aerodynamics computational tools and flight control solutions to enable the development of 15cm and smaller hovering micro unmanned aerial vehicles (MUAV)s. The objective of this project is to validate the analytical approach, and refine the proposed MUAV desig ...

WIRE CHAMBERS ARE A CLASS OF PARTICLE TRACK DETECTORS THAT HAVE FOUND WIDE APPLICATIONS IN HIGH ENERGY PARTICLE PHYSICS EXPERIMENTS. LARGE WIRE CHAMBER DETECTORS HAVE BECOME RATHER COMPLEX, REQUIRING MANY FAST ELECTRONIC CIRCUITS. THIS INVESTIGATION OFFERS THE POTENTIAL OF SIMPLIFICATION AND COST REDUCTION FOR LARGE WIRE CHAMBER DETECTORS. THE PHASE I EFFORT IS INVESTIGATING THE FEASIBILITY OF USI ...
