AbTech Corporation proposes to apply its unique abductive information modeling (AIMTM) technology to develop a sensor fusion demonstration for command, control, communication, computer and information systems. Phase I is the necessary and sufficient precursor to an operational disparate sensor fusion for C4I applications. Phase I will show the feasibility of using AIM to model sensor data, threats ...

We propose to develop and deliver a compact, high pulse repetition rate, mid-infrared optical parametric oscillator wavelength converter and cw fiber coupled diode pumped, Q-switched, Nd:YV04 diode pumped laser. A new nonlinear material, periodic poled Lithium Niobate (PPLN) enables an OPO to efficiently convert low energy pulses (150 microjoules) into the mid-infrared wavelengths. By changing t ...

With new detectors capable of sensing 7.5 - 9 micron wavelengths, a future threat is emerging since these detectors can be used in seekers. The need is to counter this threat with a laser source operating at 7.5 - 9 microns. The source requirements are 5 - 10 Watts of average power and a repetition rate of > 10 kHz. The proposed laser source is a Nd:YAG-pumped tandem OPO system consisting o ...

For future long-range theater ballistic missile defense, aircraft-mounted LADAR systems require eyesafe laser transmitters that produce higher pulse energy and better beam quality than currently available optical parametric oscillators (OPOs) pumped by diode-pumped Nd:YAG lasers. Aculight proposes a novel laser transmitter approach that can simultaneously generate the required pulse energy, b ...

ASI proposes developing a novel MultiNetwork Engineering Tool which is innovative in its unique integration of several state-of-the-art technologies with established technologies. The state-of-the-art technologies include unique network data visualization algorithms, a data driven intelligent equipment database, novel network modeling tools based on graph theory algorithms, network planning heuris ...

THE INTEGRATION OF VOICE AND DATA PRESENTS AN OPPORTUNITY TO USE HERETOFORE IDLE SECURE VOICE LINK CAPACITY, AND THE CHALLENGE OF IMPLEMENTING PROTOCOLS SUPPORTING BOTH VOICE AND DATA. THE NEW ARCHITECTURE DEMANDS A LAYERED FUNCTIONAL IMPLEMENTATION SIMILAR TO THE INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS ORGANIZATION (ISO) OPEN SYSTEMS INTERCONNECT (OSI) MODEL AND THE ABILITY TO GLOBALLY ADDRESS ANY MESSAGE, DATA ...

A MODEL FOR PREDICTING THE PERFORMANCE IMPACT OF ENGINE DETERIORATION IS PROPOSED FOR FEASIBILITY EVALUATION. THIS MODEL WOULD ACCOUNT FOR ROTATING COMPONENT DETERIORATION SUCH AS INCREASED TIP CLEARANCES, SURFACE ROUGHNESS, LEADING EDGE BLUNTNESS AND VAN BOW AND TWIST. THE PROPOSED APPROACH USES A STAGE STACKING METHOD TO ALLOCATE LOSSES THROUGHOUT THE ENGINE WHICH ARE DEPENDENT ON OPERATING TIME ...

MASSIVELY INTERCONNECTED COMPUTERS, COMMONLY CALLED NEUROCOMPUTERS, ARE AT THE HEART OF SIXTH-GENERATION COMPUTING. TO DATE, HOWEVER, ONLY NEUROCOMPUTER SIMULATORS AND EMULATORS ARE AVAILABLE. THIS RESEARCH PROJECT WILL DEVELOP TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES TO TRANSLATE NEUROCOMPUTERS INTO COMPUTATIONALLY EQUIVALENT DIGITAL VLSI CIRCUITS. CONCEPTS FROM SWITCHING CIRCUIT THEORY WILL BE USED TO TRANSLATE IND ...

AeroSoft, Inc. proposes to develop, incorporate and validate transition and anisotropic turbulence models for improving the low-Reynolds number predictions for high-lift airfoil configurations. The turbulence-modeling package will use Menter's two equati
