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 ...

Clarksean and Associates proposes to analyze the cracking of arresting hooks that occurs during the manufacturing process. The analysis process will consider the hardface coating, fusing,and heat treatment of the arresting hooks. The modeling approach uses separate finite element software packages to analyze the thermal (FIDAP) and residual stress formation (NIKE3D). A unique one-dimensional su ...

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 proposed effort develops a novel laser geometry using a new solid state laser material with the objective of providing very high power capability with superlative beam quality and efficiency for BMD0 tracking, laser imaging, and ultimately directed energy weapons potential. The material, Yb:S-FAP, has been shown to have excellent efficiency potential and uses fewer diode pumping bars compared ...

Broadband signal processing is important for interpreting signals received from active sonar transmissions. The traditional approach to processing broadband signals in the sonar literature is to assume a harrowband condition that Justifies the use of narrowband signal processing. RTcently there has been renewed interest in avoiding the narrowband assumption and in actually using techniques th ...

Using new low bandgap GaSb photovoltaic cells, JX Crystals has recently demonstrated functional thermophotovoltaic prototype generators. While it is generally believed that the cost of materials makes non-silicon photovoltaic cells prohibitively expensive unless one can develop thin film cells, this thesis is wrong for thermophotovoltaic cells. Specifically for the GaSb cell, the Ga and Sb mater ...
