Not Available The development of advanced communication or electronic warfare systems requires high performance miniaturized microwave filters. Miniaturized high-Q evanescent (EV) is one of the most desirable filters due to its wide stopband and small size, especially for satellite down-converter applications where a few hundred EV filters are used. Currently, EV filters are made using very small ...

Not Available In this Phase I proposal, we present a plan for the improvement, development, and integration of accurate signature modeling into existing Modeling & Simulation (M&S) tools that support space-based sensors. While existing M&S tools can presently model complex scenarios, multiple sensors and targets, accurate sensor motion, and targets with articulation, they do not necessarily incor ...

Not Available Force protection can greatly benefit image understanding technologies. In most battlefield scenarios, it is valuable to be able to assess the area of operation prior to deployment of troops. Video sensors deployed in the field provide valuable visual information that can be used to develop strategies prior to sending in troops. A major limitation of existing video sensors is fiel ...

Not Available Virtually every user of launch services is seeking methods to reduce launch costs. A reusable conventional launch vehicle configuration shows the potential to achieve this goal. The LOX/LNG propellant combination shows the potential to enhance both propulsion system reusability and launch system mass-to-orbit capability. This propellant combination also has the performance margins n ...
