The intelligence community is hampered in its ability to provide information to a gamut of users. The critical shortfalls are database access, timely data fusion, robust dissemination techniques, and communications bandwidth. This effort will create adynamic and responsive intelligence architecture to include; multiple database access, support dynamic user profiling through intelligent agents, p ...

A System-Level Modeling Framework for electromagnetic modeling is proposed. The heart of the Framework is a rule-based, whole-object conversion process that takes Computer Aided Design (CAD) geometry and material data and transforms it into valid,electromagnetic geometry and material modeling elements. The CAD Converter creates an

This work will design, develop, and implement a system-level electromagnetic simulation framework that increases the productivity of all participants in an EM analysis of a complex system by providing a collaborative engineering environment in which theparticipants easily construct simulation models, share and re-use data, create computational capabilities that utilize a suite of EM modeling tools ...

With the achievement of 1.7 kW CW IR operation and an upgrade to 10kW in progress, free-electron lasers (FEL) are now a serious option for high-power, military and commercial applications. As specifically identified in the recent

Future satellite architectures must readily support the on-orbit maintenance and servicing that is vital for maintaining and dynamically reconfiguring both commercial and military satellites during orbital operation. A well-founded architectural designmust also address the need to reduce costs associated with satellite development, fabrication, and operation; improve flexibility in response to mis ...

The ability to maneuver, change orbits, and rapidly deploy spacecraft is a key requirement for the space user community. However, large and bulky propulsion systems with a significant mass of fuel on board often limit the maneuverability and capabilitiesof space vehicles. AeroAstro is developing aerobraking concepts and structures that use the Earth's atmosphere for braking and steering, signifi ...

This contract develops and expands on the technology for micromachining silicon deformable mirrors as a result of work in Stanford research laboratories over the last 5 years. The commerical and military applications of this technology will be exploitedand specific uses will be investigated. Hardware specific to applications will be prepared and evaluated for a few selected uses.The optics indus ...

Airborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems are required to provide all weather day/night imaging of ground targets. Requirements exist for a smaller, less expensive, and more covert SAR system. ZAI/Amelex has introduced a new SAR waveform and systemwhich is very small, light weight, and low power. Recent experiments have demonstrated excellent resolution (~1.0 inch) while simultaneously reduc ...
