THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO DEVELOP A LOW RISK DESIGN APPROACH TO EMBEDDED TRAINING FOR AFLOAT CRYPTOLOGIC SYSTEMS. DESIGN RATIONAL WILL BE BASED ON INVESTIGATIONS INTO DESIGN OBJECTIVES, BASED UPON STATED FLEET OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS; TRAINING METHODOLOGIES, INSTRUCTIONAL TECHNOLOGY, SCENARIO GENERATION CAPABILITIES, OPERATOR PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT CRITERIA AND STATE OF THE ART HARDWAR ...

The goal of this SBIR proposal is to evaluate the suitability of the WESCAM Model 14 EO sensor, currently deployed in the Predator, for oceanographic research use in the Naval Postgraduate School's "Pelican" optionally piloted aircraft. Sensor specifications will be based on Arete's extensive experience in remote sensing of the ocean, and engineering specifications developed with the Naval P ...

Microwave Technologies Incorporated is proposing the development of a very compact radio-frequency (rf) electron beam accelerator which appears to be well-suited for BMDO's directed energy applications. This novel concept employs a single short rf cavity operating in circular polarization to accelerate a low-energy ma ~netized pencil beam to energies that range from 2 to 10 MeV. The proposed accel ...

NON-NUCLEAR APPROACHES ARE SOUGHT FOR HIGH ENERGY DENSITIES FOR SPACE POWER SYSTEMS. ONE CRITICAL COMPONENT TO ACHIEVE IMPROVED PERFORMANCE IS CAPACITOR STORES. THESE ARE DEPENDENT UPON ADVANCES IN LOW LOSS, HIGH ENERGY/HIGH POWER DENSITY STORAGE MATERIALS. A UNIQUE INORGANIC COMPOSITE IS PROPOSED FOR INVESTIGATION AS A HIGH ENERGY DENSITY STORAGE MATERIAL. AN APPROACH IS FORMULATED BASED ON SOL-G ...

We introduce an innovative laser which brings inherently new capabilities to lidar that were not available with other coherent lidar laser sources. The unique design of this laser allows production of a greater range of pulse widths and energies than was previously obtainable from a single source. This 1.56 um eye-safe laser utilizes an intracavity Solid State Raman Shifter (SSRS) which is pumpe ...

This proposal describes a fabrication-intensive program to determine the feasibility of fabricating oxide vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (oxide VCSELs) whose unoxidized current apertures comprise lateral oxidation barriers. Although oxide VCSELs have spectacular performances (50% wallplug efficiency, etc.) their manufacturability is questionable since the oxidation process forming the cur ...

The overall objective of the Phase I and Phase II program is to develop a prototype airwake measurement system that offers substantially - improved capability for measuring and developing models of the wind environment for ship-board landing of helicopters. The proposed Phase I study will carry out a survey of airwake data characteristics of various as-sea helicopter landing environments with pri ...
