Delta Data Systems, Inc. (DDS), a key developer and supplier of GIS technology to clients such as NASA, COE, NOS, etc. and Neptune Sciences, Inc. (NSI), a developer of the Navy Surf Model and other nearshore related products, will combine their expertise to develop a Marine Geographical Information Systems. Presently, no one method exists to adequately assess the coastal environment. Large datab ...

The ultra-high strength steels, AF 1410 and AerMet 100, have improved fracture toughness and stress corrosion cracking resistance, desirable mechanical properties for naval aircraft landing gears. However, the absence of accurate machining information on the various operations necessary to manufacture these and other parts has limited the use of these alloys. Significant potential improvements of ...

The collection of sufficient quantities of truly representative ambient samples (e.g., air, water) for analysis is a serious problem with any mobile air sampling and monitoring system. There are several ways this problem can be addressed. The approach proposed in tihs SBIR is twofold. First, a chemical detector with very high sensitivity and selectivity will be designed to reduce the volume of sam ...

Many of the solid-state chemical microsensors, including surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices and the organic or inorganic semiconductors, are ideally suited as sensors for on-chip chemical analysis systems as they are inherently very small, low power and readily manufactured by photolithographic techniques. The major technical problems associated with the development of integrated chemical micros ...

Seemann Composites, Inc. (SCI), as the prime contractor, Materials Science Corporation (MSC) and McDonnell Douglas Phantom Works as subcontractors, propose to develop an advanced composite structure which will be significantly lighter, tougher and more reliable than previous hull structures and which can be built at a lower cost than conventional construction. Furthermore, problems with quality ...
