Chrome replacement and corrosion protection coatings in thermal environments is needed. Combustion chemical vapor deposition (CCVDsm), a process invented by the principal investigator, is the only open atmosphere CVD technique for ceramics and metals. The CCVD method has been shown to inexpensively and quickly apply dense, adherent thin films in a continuous manner. This technology can be use ...

The objective of this project is to design a fractual object based image database system which enables video insertion into real time simulation systems. A cost/benefit analysis of the design will be performed to determine the utility of implementing the design in Phase II. Requirements for the Fractal Object Database System will be determined in consultation with the Sponsor and from interactio ...

Scientific Research Corporation (SRC) proposes to develop an expendable, low cost data link from a camera mounted in a gun launched projectile to a Naval surface ship for use in targeting, identification and battle damage assessment. The Expendable Video Data Link will consist of an RF Layer, Channel Encoding layer and Video Compression Layer. Link budget analysis methods will be employed to ...

This exploratory development program is devoted to the development of an automated electromagnetic field probe to measure the electromagnetic fields in an anechoic chamber. The approach is based on the use of SATIMO's innovative rapid electromagnetic field measurement technique that scans large test areas or volumes in a few seconds or minutes, compared to the hours of measurement time required f ...

At the end of Phase I a software code implementing a prototype version of a system for real-time analysis of electromagnetic wave propagating in space and along the surface of an aircraft will be delivered. The computations will be performed on a virtual aircraft representing an actual aircraft in electronic format. The delivered prototype version will be capable of performing in rea ...

As greater numbers of systems compete for limited telemetry resources, measures must be taken to increase the utilization of the available spectrum. Fortunately, recent advances in communications systems and protocols can provide a dramatic increase in the utilization of allocated radio frequency spectrum. The best solution for the telemetry community requires that several areas of advanced tech ...

The Close Combat Tactical Trainer (CCTT) after-action review (AAR) system produces a standard set of statistical displays that trainers may use to debrief exercise participants. These displays are difficult to interpret and do not readily reveal to the player unit "WHAT happened" during the battle. If unit players are able to discern "WHAT happened", there are no correlating displays to provide ...

The use of advanced composite materials in all applications has increased dramatically, but the methods for managing and processing have remained unchanged for thirty years. Advanced, mulitple sensor technology has been demonstrated to reduce process time and costs. AvPro proposes to develop a single sensor system to provide multiple data inputs. It would be a means to validate models for proce ...

The need for small portable, low-cost instruments for field environmental measurements is well documented. Nomadics is developing powerful handheld instruments based on the portable computers and PCMCIA cards. We intent to marry existing proven (but not yet deployed) sensor technologies with portable computers (such as laptops, palmtops and PDAs) using the industry standard PCMCIA card and virtu ...

A need exists for wide-band, high data rate communications capabilities for the soldier in the field. A wireless LAN solution that does not require directional antenna pointing for the soldier on the move is desired. Conformal antenna embedded in the soldier ensemble can solve the problem and also provide a relay capability for soldier paging and reporting. In this SBIR (Small Business Innovati ...
