THE USE OF SUPERCRITICAL CRYOGENIC STORAGE OF AIR WILL PERMIT THE SUPPLY OF BREATHING AIR FOR PERSONNEL ENGAGED IN EMERGENCY OR HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ACTIVITIES. BECAUSE AIR STORAGE IS AT CRYOGENIC TEMPERATURE (LESS THAN 180 DEGREES C) THERE IS CONSIDERABLE COOLING AVAILABLE FOR THE USER AS THE AIR IS USED. THIS COMBINATION OF THE BREATING AIR SUPPLY AND PERSONNEL COOLING IS UNIQUE IN THIS DEVELOPME ...

AGILIS CORPORATION PROPOSES TO DEVELOP THE SYSTEM CONCEPT FOR A MODULAR SOLDIER'S COMPUTER. THIS EFFORT IS A DIRECT EXTENSION OF AGILIS' ONGOING WORK WITH COMMERCIAL CLIENTS TO DEVELOP SIMILAR CAPABILITIES. THE MODULAR SOLIDER'S COMPUTER MUST BE VERY SMALL (POCKET-SIZED), LIGHT WEIGHT (1 TO 2 POUNDS), RUGGED, POWERFUL, NETWORKED, AND HAVE AN ADVANCED USER INTERFACE. MILITARY APPLICATIONS INCLUDE B ...

THE PROPOSED RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EFFORT AIMS AT DEMONSTRATING THE FOLLOWING TECHNICLA CAPABILITIES; (A) HIGH PERFORMANCE ALGORITHMS FOR ATR BASED ON TWO-DIMENSIONAL SENSOR DATA; (B) EFFICIENT AND FAST SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE IMPLEMENTATIONS OF THESE ALGORITHMS ON LOW COST MULTIPROCESSOR BOARDS. THESE CAPABILITIES REST WITH THE FOLLOWING TECHNICAL PRINCIPLES; (A) THE RECENTLY DISCOVERED PROPERTI ...

1This proposal describes a program to design a regenerable gas generator system which can be used safely aboard submarines. We propose to investigate a number of possible techniques using all liquid, all solid or combined liquid/solid fuel/oxidizer combinations. One candidate system which looks very attractive would use hydroxyl-ammonium-nitrate to react with surplus deisel fuel which is already o ...

THIS PROPOSAL IS TO USE OPTICAL FIBER GRADED-INDEX (GRIN) ROD LENSES TO DEVELOP A WEAPONS SIGHT THAT HAS MAGNIFICATION, A BRIGHT IMAGE, REQUIRES THE EYE TO ONLY FOCUS AT ONE DISTANCE, IS RUGGED, IS ACCURATE, IS SIMPLE, IS SMALL, IS USER FRIENDLY, AND IS COMPATABLE TO BE MOUNTED ON EXISTING WEAPONS. THE PROGRAM INCLUDES VALIDATING THE CONCEPT, FABRICATING A TEST UNIT, AND TESTING THE UNIT ON A M16A ...

Astralux will develop IV-II-VI compound semiconductors by synthesizing compounds and characterizing their properties as a function of the deposition parameters. The material will be a combination of lattice-matched semiconductors that will be generated as alloys and superlattices. Electronic and optical properties will vary by adjusting the composition. The II-VI compound semiconductor has optical ...
