Award Data

BONN Corporation (BONN) has chosen to concentrate on a methodology that computes an optimal target search in near-real-time, with the capability of accommodating user-definable optimality based upon time / pathlength, probability of target detection target value, and survivability in a dense threat environment. This methodology will be extensible to address multiple airborne platforms and multipl ...

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 ...

Duke & Associates will utilize the strain energy dissipation technology developed by the Naval Research Laboratory(NRL) to develop energy dissipation characterization methodology for composite material/laminate characterization and design of aircraft certification representative structure. We will utilize the NRL Structures Simulator with Finite Element Models of aerospace structures such as ...

The principal objective of this proposal is to develop a design for the packaging of the high performance optoelectronic computer (HPOC) module. In addition, we will design the optical interconnect section of the HPOC module, and fabricate and test HPOC module sub-assemblies. A design will be developed for a structure which uses solder engineering to combine the HPOC module components (VCSEL, ar ...

The primary goal of this program is to develop intelligent software mechnaisms which enhance information discovery using a high capacity, scalable, optoelectronic information architecture. By exploiting a high performance optoelectronic computing (HPOC) module platform as a data "processing engine", innovative software mechanisms will be investigated which can manipulate data/knowledge ...

Production Products Manufacturing and Sales with support from Southern Research Institute (SRI) and McDonnell Douglas Aerospace (MDC) proposes an innovative program which will utilize intelligent processing to produce affordable 2000 F capable ceramic matrix composites. Innovative preform fabrication and diaphragm forming consolidation approaches will be developed in Phase I for producing high mod ...

Production Products will develop novel, low cost processing technology to incorporate fiber optic sensors in filament wound composite rocket motor cases, pressure vessels, and other missile components. The fiber optic sensors will be used for cure monitoring, measuring temperature, displacement, strain, and structural health monitoring. In Phase I we will develop low cost techniques to place the ...

The purpose of Phase I of this project is to determine the feasibility of developing an acoustic instrument for measuring temperature profiles using a combination of neural networks and broadband sonar. "Broadband sonar provides the necessary comparative information between frequencies to provide a great deal of the requisite information for determining temperature from sound speed. Because the ...
