THE CUBIC CRYSTALLINE PHASE OF CARBON (DIAMOND) AND THE ANALOGOUS STRUCTURE OF BORON NITRIDE (CBN, BORAZON) ARE THE HARDEST KNOWN SOLIDS. TO MAKE USE OF THIS HARNESS FOR INCREASED WEAR RESISTANCE, COATINGS OF "DIAMONDLIKE" CARBON HAVE BEEN WIDELY STUDIED. ARTECH HAS DEVELOPED A TECHNIQUE FOR APPLYING SUPERHARD BORON NITRIDE COATINGS USING SIMULTANEOUS BEAMS OF BORON AND NITROGEN ATOMS, AND PROPOSE ...

AN INNOVATIVE RF EM MODULATION RADAR SENSOR IS PROPOSED WHICH WILL PROVIDE A RICH, MULTI-SPECTRAL RESPONSE FROM RELOCATABLE STRATEGIC TARGETS. THIS NOVEL RF SYSTEM HAS THE FOLLOWING MAJOR ADVANTAGES OVER COMPETING RADAR SYSTEMS. A. IN ADDITION TO PROVIDIG THE CONVENTIONAL RADAR RETURN, A SECONDARY PHASE MODULATION IS INTRODUCED WHICH PROVIDES A UNIQUE RESPONSE CAPABLE OF FURTHER TARGET CHARACTERIZ ...

THIS PROGRAM WILL DEVELOP TECHNIQUES, PROCEDURES, AND SPECIALIZED INSTRUMENTATION TO ACCESS THE BUILT-IN-TEST (BIT) SOFTWARE WITHIN A PRIME EQUIPMENT. CONTROL OF THE ACCESS INSTRUMENTATION AND BIT TESTING WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED WITH A PC XT TYPE COMPUTER. THE CONTROL SOFTWARE WILL BE DEVELOPED USING THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE ADA LANGUAGE AND WILL BE TITLED ADA LANGUAGE SOFTWARE TEST PROGRAM (ALSTP). ...

A VARIETY OF HARDWRE ENHANCEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE OVER THE YEARS TO THE HIGH ENERGY LASER DATA ACQUISITION AND PROCESSING SYSTEM (HELDAPS) AT THE WHITE SANDS MISSILE RANGE HIGH ENERGY LASER SYSTEM TEST FACILITY. THE EXISTING HELDAPS SOFTWARE DOES NOT FULLY UTILIZE THE CAPABILITIES OF THE ENHANCED SYSTEM CONFIGURATION. A PHASE I PROJECT IS PROPOSED TO SYSTEMATICALLY ANALYZE THE HELDAPS ROCESSING REQ ...

THE INTERACTIONS BETWEEN TARGETS AND THE BACKGROUND IN BOTH THE VISUAL AND THERMAL SPECTRAL BANDS ARE AFFECTED BY SEVERAL WEATHER RELATED VARIABLES. THE DCS TE-EX MODEL WAS ORIGINALLY DEVELOPED AS A FIRST PRINCIPLES MATHEMATICAL MODEL TO PREDICT THE RADIATED TEMPERATURE OF TARGETS IN A FIELD ENVIRONMENT. THE MODEL, BECAUSE IT IS A FIRST PRINCIPLES MODEL, CAN BE USED TO PREDICT RADIATED TEMPERATURE ...

DECISION SCIENCE CONSORTIUM, INC. (DSC) PROPOSES TO ENGAGE IN AN INNOVATIVE RESEARCH PROGRAM TO DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT AN ADVERSARIAL PLANNING SYSTEM THAT IS ABLE TO REASON ABOUT THE PERSISTENCE OVER TIME OF AN ADVERSARY'S BELIEF AND INTENTIONS. SPECIFICALLY, THIS SYSTEM WILL UTILIZE EITHER A NONMONOLITHIC SITUATIONAL OR TEMPORAL LOGIC TO DETERMINE THE EXTENT TO WHICH AN ADVERSARY'S PRESENT BELIEFS ...
