THE EFFICIENCY OF THE SCRUBBER ON THE HF HIGH ENERGY LASER WILL BE MEASURED UTILIZING FOURIER TRANSFORM INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY (FTIR). CONCENTRATIONS OF HF AND FLOWS WILL BE MEASURED BEFORE AND AFTER THE SCRUBBER, AND RECOMMENDATIONS MADE TO IMPROVE SCRUBBER EFFICIENCY, IF NECESSARY. AMBIENT AIR SAMPLING USING EITHER FTIR OR OTHER WET CHEMICAL METHOD WILL BE PERFORMED TO VALIDATE THE MODEL PREDICTI ...

THE CURRENT PROCEDURE FOR REPORTING COMMUNICATIONS ELECTRONICS SYSTEM SOFTWARE FAILURE USING PAPER FORMS IS ERROR-PRONE, TIME-CONSUMING AND INEFFICIENT. WHEN NUMEROUS TROUBLE REPORTS ARE ROUTINELY GENERATED, AS IS THE CASE WITH LARGE SYSTEMS OR SYSTEMS DEPLOYED AT MULTIPLE SITES, THE DEFICIENCIES OF PAPER FORMS MAY SEVERLY INHIBIT THE PROBLEM RESOLUTION PROCESS. THE TIMELY CORRECTION OF FIELD FAIL ...

WE PROPOSE AN IN-SITU OPTICAL FIBER ORGANIC MATRIX CURE/TEMPERATURE MONITOR WHICH ALLOWS ACCURATE DETERMINATION OF LOCALIZED STATE OF CURE DURING TYPICAL COMPOSITE FABRICATION PROCESSES. THE SYSTEM CONSISTS OF A RESIN FIBER WAVEGUIDE ENSOR WHICH MEASURES CHANGES OF REFRACTIVE INDEX AS THE RESIN CURES, AND A NON-SILICA CORE FIBER DISTRIBUTED TEMPERATURE SENSOR WHICH COMPENSATES FOR TEMPERATURE INDU ...

WE HOPE TO INVESTIGATE THE POTENTIAL USE OF AN ELECTROMAGNETIC DOOR SEAL AS A COMPONENT IN A LOW MAINTENANCE DOOR CLOSURE. THIS SEAL WILL INSERT A LOSSY FERROMAGNETIC MATERIAL INTO THE PATH BY WHICH ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY ENTERS A SHIELDED ENCLOSURE AROUND THE PERIPHERY OF THE DOOR. THE MATERIAL IS EXPECTED TO REFLECT THE INCIDENT FIELD BECAUSE THE FERROMAGNETIC MATERIAL WILL OFFER A HIGH IMPEDANC ...

THE OVERALL OBJECTIVES OF PHASE I ARE TO DEVELOP FEASIBLE, EFFECTIVE SYSTEM CONCEPTS FOR UTILIZING SPACE-BASED ASSETS AS PLATFORMS FOR RF DECEPTION EQUIPMENT IN SUPPORT OF THE BATTLEFIELD COMMANER. THIS PHASE WILL RESULT IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF SPECIFIC SYSTEM DESIGNS WHICH IMPLEMENT THE CONCEPTS DEEMED EFFECTIVE. THE STUDY WILL FOCUS ON DEFINING THE SUITABILITY OF SPACE ASSETS TO THE FOLLOWING USES ...

PRODUCTION AGENCIES PROVIDING STANDARD MC&G PRODUCTS DO NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT ASSETS TO MEET ALL REQUIREMENTS. SHORTFALLS EXIST IN AREA COVERAGE, LEVEL OF DETAIL, CURRENCY, AND ACCURACY. PRODUCTS DO NOT NECESSARILY FLOW TO THE FIGHTING FORCES WHEN, WHERE, AND IN THE FORMATS NEEDED. EVOLVING THIRD WORLD CONFLICTS EXACERBATE THE PROBLEM. DATA PRODUCTION SOLUTIONS FALL INTO ELUSIVE OUTYEARS WITH STOPGA ...
