AUTOMATIC AIDS FOR SITUATION ASSESSMENT, GENERAL INFORMATION FUSION, DECISION MAKING AND PLANNING ARE VULNERABLE TO DECEPTION IN ADVERSARIAL SITUATIONS. COUNTER-DECEPTION CAPABILITIES TO DETECT POSSIBLE DECEPTIVE ACTIONS AND OBTAIN THE CORRECT ASSESSMENT ARE NEEDED TO PRESERVE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THESE AIDS. THE PROPOSED RESEARCH WILL CREATE TECHNOLOGICAL SUPPORT SO THAT THE EFFECTS OF DECEPTION ...

N/A

INTEGRATED FUZING AND MULTIMODE GUIDANCE ALGORITHMS ARE PROPOSED THAT INCLUDE A FIFTH-STATE ESTIMATOR TO SUPPLY THE AIRFRAME CONTROL INFORMATION TO GUIDE A MISSILE TO A PREDEFINED ORIENTATION, AND HENCE AID IN FUZING AND DETONATION OF AIMED WARHEADS BY REDUCING TARGET MODELING REQUIREMENTS AND ELIMINATING ENHANCED IMAGE INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS. BY DECOUPLING TARGET AND MISSILE MOTION AND USING TH ...

THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS PHASE I RESEARCH IS TO DEVELOP THE METHODOLOGY NECESSARY TO PREDICT DAMAGE TO OPERATING ROCKET MOTORS AS A RESULT OF WARHEAD FRAGMENT IMPACT. METHODOLOGY, AS USED IN THIS WORK, MEANS THE DEFINITION AND SPECIFICATION OF NUMERICAL PROCEDURES, SEMI-EMPIRICAL FORMULAE, AND AVAILABLE EXPERIMENTAL DATA TO BE USED IN A PROCEDURE, THE RESULT OF WHICH IS THE CALCULATION OF KEY SYSTEM ...

N/A

TELEMETRY ANALYSTS MONITORING FLIGHT TESTS MUST PERFORM RED-LINE CHECKING AND MAKE RAPID DECISIONS IN REALTIME BASED UPON DATA THAT IS OFTEN CONTAMINATED WITH NOISY OR MISSING VALUES. ANALYST EXPERIENCE IS CRITICAL TO SUCCESS. IT WOULD BE HIGHLY BENEFICIAL TO PROVIDE INTELLIGENT AIDS TO THOSE ANALYSTS. THESE AIDS MUST HAVE THE CONTENT OF A CAREFULLY CRAFTED EXPERT SYSTEM, BUT OPERATE IN THE REAL W ...

THIS PROPOSAL PROPOSES AN APPROACH TO DESCRIBE & DEMONSTRATE MAGNETICALLY SUPPORTED ULTRAPRECISION BEARING FOR SEEKER AND SCANNER APPLICATIONS. THE MAGNETIC SUPPORT DESIGN APPROACH IS BASED ON A NOVEL HOMOPOLAR MAGNETIC CIRCUIT IMPLEMENTED BY MEANS OF A COMBINATION OF PERMANENT BIAS FIELDS AND ACTIVE CONTROL FIELDS. THE CONCEPT INCLUDES A CONTROL SYSTEM WHICH INCORPORATES ERROR SIGNALS FROM THE MA ...

TACTICAL MISSILE DEVELOPMENT REQUIRES NOT ONLY MISS DISTANCE, VELOCITY AND TIME OF CLOSEST APPROACH BUT ALSO MISSILE ATTITUDE AND TRAJECTORY DURING INTERCEPT. CARTWRIGHT ELECTRONICS, INC. (CEI) HAS DEVELOPED SCALAR SCORING SYSTEMS WHICH HAVE DEMONSTRATED ACCURACY AND TARGET RESOLUTION COMPATIBLE WITH VECTOR SCORING REQUIREMENTS. USE OF SUBSCALE TARGETS SUCH AS THE EON-345 IMPOSES SEVERE ANTENNA SP ...

A NEW CONCEPT UTILIZING A COMPUTER CONTROL PULSE NETWORK TO DRIVE ATWO-PHASE FLOW DIESEL ENGINE TO ELECTRONICALLY CONTROL THE TIMING, ADVANCED ANGLE, PRESSURE, AND INJECTION DURATION, WHICH IS MECHANICALLY SIMPLE AND COMPACT. THE COMMERCIAL TYPE APPLICATION WILL BE TO ALL THE NEW GENERATION DIESEL ENGINES IN THE FUTURE. THE DIESEL CYCLE STARTED WITH INJECTING COAL POWDER, BUT UNTIL A MECHANICAL FU ...

THE FOCUS OF PHASE I OF THIS ADVANCED DEVELOPMENT PROJECT IS THE FORMULATION AND TESTING OF A "WORKING MODEL" OF KASE, AN INSTRUCTIONAL TOOL. KASE CAN BEST BE DESCRIBED AS A PROTOTYPE DESIGN FOR AN AUTOMATED AND ENHANCED IMPLEMENTATION OF TRADOC INTERSERVICE PROCEDURES FOR THE ANALYSIS AND DESIGN PHASEE OF CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT. KASE IS A CONCEPTUAL DEEIGN FOR A DOMAIN INDEPENDENT EXPERT SYSTEM W ...
