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 ...

Turboshaft engines are subject to various transient modes, necessitating a compressor with very high surge margin. Therefore, many devices were proposed in the past, and some of them including a recent one with a vaneless cavity by Allied Signal Engines, demonstrated impressive surge margin enhancement. However, there ahs been no detailed investigations on understanding the flow mechanism leading ...

The ability to reduce total coolant flows to meet increased cooling and life requirements in gas turbines is crucial to improving future aircraft propulsion capability. Existing compressor core cooling (CCC) techniques concentrate on rotor and casing thermal deflection matching during transients, but give limited compressor bore and cavity cooling. The proposed innovative CCC systems ...

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 ultimate Virtual Environment system must free the user of const raining hardwire connections to the host computer or telepresence sensors. In addition to wirelessness, the headset must be unobtrusive and deliver a high quality image. We propose a research methodology and development program that will result in a wireless, low mass, high definition, wide FOV full color personal display ...

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 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 ...
