This project will develop a field portable nondestructive technique for in-situ monitoring of the health of ceramic armor. The Evisive Scan microwave interference scanning method has been successfully demonstrated in Phase I of the project, where it was demonstrated successfully on Control Specimens and ceramic armor Surrogates designed and fabricated by ARL, and on samples of armor from Stryker ...

The objective of this proposal is to develop a robust hand-held, data acquisition system for microwave inspection of non-metallic armor on ground vehicles. The system will em-ploy the patented Evisive Scan microwave interference testing method has been dem-onstrated in a portable, work station configuration on armor panels from the Stryker and ASV vehicles. The Evisive Scan method detects laminar ...

The objective of this proposal is to develop, demonstrate, and field a Non-Destructive Inspection (NDI) Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) for field units and depot to utilize in inspecting and/or repairing compo-site rotor blades. The NDI-ATE is to be field portable, provide results in near real time, with an automated assessment capability for field use and a detailed assessment capability for depo ...

A CONSOLIDATED INTELLIGENT CONTROL UNIT (CICU) IS CONCEPTUALIZED FOR CONTROL OF MULTIPLE ROBOTIC COMBAT VEHICLES FROM A SINGLE RRC. WHILE A CONTROL STRATEGY WILL BE DESIGNED FOR CONTROL FUNCTIONS COMMON TO ALL MISSIONS, SPECIAL CONTROL TECHNIQUE WILL BE USED FOR MISSIONSPECIFIC CONTROL. THE DESIGN OF THE CICU IS BASED ON HIERARCHICAL AND MODULAR COMBINATION OF APPLICABLE CONTROL TECHNOLOGIES, REDU ...

FOOD RATIONS ARE PACKAGED FOR MILITARY AND CIVILIAN USE AS A PRECOOKED, PREMEASURED MEAL PORTION. THESE MEALS ARE TYPICALLY ASSEMBLED IN A SEALED TRAY AND PRESERVED FOR CONSUMPTION AT A LATER DATE. CURRENT DESIGNS OF MILITARY FOOD TRAYS ARE METALLIC AND MUST BE OPENED WITH A CAN OPENER. THIS POSES SEVERAL UNDESIRABLE CHARACTERISTICS. AMONG THESE ARE READY ACCESS TO A CAN OPENER. LOSS OF THE CAN OP ...

TII PROPOSES THE DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION AND TESTING OF A PORTABLE SIMULATOR CAPABLE OF EMULATING THE RCC OPERATOR INTERFACE, AND EVALUATING SEVERAL RCC INTERFACE DESIGNS. THE SIMULATOR IS CAPABLE OF SIMULATING MISSION SCENARIOS AND RECORDING AND DOCUMENTING REALTIME INPUT FROM THE SOLDIER COMMUNITY AND OTHER POTENTIAL END-USERS. THE SIMULATOR MODULES ARE CAPABLE OF BEING EXPANDED AND UPDATED TO REFL ...
