A number of applications in other commercial as well as military sectors require that multiple distributed data sources be consulted when a specific need arises, and that the results of these consultations be presented to the user. Often, these results are complex and involve multiple documents. Presentation of such results involves automatically generating browsable documents so that the user c ...

A PLAN FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A MESOSCALE WEATHER NOWCASTING SYSTEM IS PROPOSED. THAT SYSTEM WOULD BE USED AS A TACTICAL DECISION AID FOR SUPPORT OF TACTICAL ARMY OPERATIONS. THE SYSTEM WOULD BE COMPOSED OF MODULAR SENSOR PACKAGES, A TELEMETRY SYSTEM, A FLEXIBLE SYSTEM OF SENSOR DEPLOYMENT, AND A MICROPROCESSOR BASED TACTICAL COMPUTER SYSTEM FOR THE ANALYSIS AND DISPLAY OF DATA COLLECTED. THE PROP ...

TO MEET THE KINETIC ENERGY ANTI-SATELLITE (KE ASAT) REQUIREMENTS FOR TIMELY AND RELIABLE KILL ASSESSMENT, AEROMET PROPOSES TO RECOMMEND INNOVATIVE TECHNIQUES IN REAL-TIME KILL ASSESSMENT SPECTROSCOPY. BECAUSE IT CAN BE CRITICALLY IMPORTANT TO ACCURATELY VERIFY SATELLITE ELIMINATION, A KILL ASSESSMENT SYSTEM MUST DISCERN BETWEEN VARIOUS HIT AND MISS PHENOMENA, INCLUDING THE USE OF POTENTIAL COUNTER ...

ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS AND SYSTEMS FOR USE IN DEFENSE APPLICATIONS HAVE REQUIREMENTS OF MATERIAL UNIFORMITY, QUALITY ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS, MICROSTRUCTURAL INTEGRITY AND FREEDOM FROM STRESS AND DEFECTS. ALTHOUGH THE ELECTRONICS INDUSTRY HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN MEETING MANY OF THESE CONDITIONS, THE INCREASING DEMANDS FOR HIGHER SPEED DEVICES AND CIRCUITS ARE STEADILY REDUCING THE MARGINS OF SAFETY. ...

THERE IS A NEED FOR SMALL, COMPACT, AND RUGGED SOURCES THAT OPERATE IN THE 0.7-2MM WAVELENGTH REGION. SUCH A SOURCE WOULD BE SOLID STATE BUT THE OVERALL SYSTEM WILL MOSTLIKELY NOT BE SO COMPACT IF THE WIDEBAND FREQUENCY TUNABILITY IS DESIRED. THE CONCEPTUAL SOLID-STATE (IN-AS) GYROTRON IS WIDE-BAND BUT OPERATED WITH A CRYOGENIC SYSTEM WHICH IS MOSTLIKELY BULKY. THIS PROPOSAL ADDRESSES CURRENT AVAI ...

Current production ladar system and components involve coherent optical system using pulse waveform. "bile demonstrating impressive accuracy and resolution, the system are coupler, difficult to manufacture, and thereby erpensive. An alternative approach is being investigated for short range system which uses an FM/CW waveform for ranging with incoherent light detection. This approach should prod ...

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) offer a lower risk and lower cost platform for the use of an Ultra Wide Band (UWE) Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) system for the detection of ground targets concealed by foliage. Given the size, weight, and power restrictions of a UAV, an impulse radar is an attractive radar system alternative because it offers a lighter and lower cost solution than a traditional c ...
