The development of a simple, reliable, and easily operated system to detect and measure airborne lead (Pb) to trace levels is the subject of the Phase I effort. Lead is toxic to humans at very low levels and is ingested easily by breathing air in which elemental Pb or compounds of this element are dispersed. In firing ranges there is an opportunity for shooters and range personnel to be exposed to ...

We propose the development of a remotely powered back lighting for night vision imaging systems. The technology proposed also enables future incorporation of sequential RGB backlighting, that will improve AM-LCD performance by reducing the number of driving circuits by a factor of three, eliminate the spatially distributed RGB filters, triple the resolution for the same pixel size and triple the a ...

Dependability is an increasingly critical characteristic of the Navy's mission critical computer systems. These systems must be maintained in a state of readiness to support critical mission functions, and must be able to perform these functions correctly despite the presence of faults in system hardware and software components, and in the environments in which the systems operate. Automated tools ...

Formal methods based on rigorous mathematical specification and verification techniques have been shown to be a feasible way of identifying design errors early in the development of complex, ultrareliable computer systems. However, the mathematical expertise required to exercise formal verification systems for non-trivial applications has restricted their use to formal methods experts. The purpose ...

COMMUNICATIONS NETWORKS WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY (D0N) HAVE DEVELOPED INDEPENDENTLY. THERE EXISTS A NEED TO INTEGRATE NETWORKS AND SYSTEMS TO PROVIDE AN INTEGRATED COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK SUPPORTING VOICE, DATA, IMAGE, MESSAGE, AND VIDEO SERVICES ACCORDING TO USER REQUIREMENTS AND COMMAND PRIORITIES. EXISTING MODELING SOLUTIONS HAVE ADDRESSED SPECIFIC COMMUNICATIONS AREAS, BUT HAVE NOT, AS ...

This project will assess the feasibility of developing a method and integrated toolset to represent, design, and evaluate the behavior of large, complex, a real-time Naval systems. ALPHATECH has developed an interactive graphical simulation tool, called Modeler, which supports complex systems design and can serve as the core of an integrated complex systems design (ICSD) toolset. Modeler's graphic ...

THE NAVY F-14 FIGHTER CURRENTLY HAS TWO PRIMARY SYSTEMS WHICH CAN BE USED FOR THE IDENTIFICATION OF NON-COOPERATIVE AIR TARGETS: THE TELEVISION CAMERA SET (TCS) AND A RADAR SIGNAL MODULATION (RSM) PROCESSOR COUPLED TO THE AWG-9 FIRE CONTROL RADAR. CURRENTLY, DATA FROM THESE SYSTEMS IS PROCESSED INDEPENDENTLY, AND ANY FUSTION WHICH TAKES PLACE IS PERFORMED BY THE OPERATOR. THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS RES ...
