The Defense Modeling and Simulation Office (DMSO) has developed the High Level Architecture (HLA) as one of the principle components of a DoD-wide Common Technical Framework for modeling and simulation (M&S). Unlike previous distributed simulation technologies such as DIS and SIMNET, HLA provides federation developers, via the Object Model Template (OMT), the means to define the structure and for ...

Acute infectious diseases pose significant problems which include the potential failure of antimicrobial therapy and the serious sequelae that may result. These treatment failures may occur due to a lack of diagnostic information during early onset of the disease, resulting in the use of the incorrect antibiotic or antimicrobial resistance, and the inadequacy of current therapy for ameliorating s ...

Remote field seismic or vibrations sensors typically use solar power or batteries to power operations. DARPA has identified the need to augment or replace these power sources with a device that produces power independent of solar energy. Specifically, DDARPA is searching for new low power device technology that harvests energy from existing field environments. AZ Technology's novel concept is d ...

The proposed experimental program demonstrates the technical feasibility of creating near-net shape single crystal components of technologically important ceramics. We propose to fabricate a near-net shape single crystal multilayer electrostrictive displacement actuator using a combination of the solid state method and advanced ceramics processing. The near net shape single crystal multilayer el ...

Advances in optoelectronic devices, vertical cavity surface Emitting Lasers (VCSEL) in particular, have opened up many new possibilities for high density, 2D arrays of sources and detectors that can be applied in a broad range of applications. While remarkable progress has been made by physicists in understanding basic fundamentals of optoelectronic devices and their cw performance and packaging ...

Curriculum corporation proposes to research and development an innovative platform independent intrusion detection and response tool. The tool would be based on DCE in order to support mainstream computer platform. The ability to automatically recover from an information attack will reply on 'on-the-fly' modification of the DCE security service. The tool is innovative in that the response to ...

Dynetics proposes the use of Aggregatable Patch Elements (APEs) as a potential solution for synthesis of arbitrary antenna performance from a near continuum of small patch elements. This solution is based on the innovative concept of integration of element switching directly on the array surface. A large field of small patches will allow considerable latitude in synthesis of a patch array becaus ...

SAR systems covering large swath widths suffer from range ambiguities when using high duty cycle radar signals having standard SAR waveforms. Range ambiguities can be eliminated by transmitting nonstandard orthogonal waveforms. Analysis and simulations will be carried out to determine the performance of different orthogonal waveforms in terms of minimizing SAR image sidelobe levels and limiting ...

The world around us is three dimensional (3D), yet most existing cameras and display systems handle only two dimensional (2D) flat images that lack the depth information. This fundamental restriction greatly limits the capability of human being in perceiving and understanding the complexity of real world objects. The primary objectives of this proposed Phase I SBIR work are two- folds: (1) to st ...

This proposal details an approach to quantifying the interrelationship between parts of non-linear complex systems. The approach builds on years of work at Intelligent Automation, Inc. in the use of what we call fine-grained autonomous agents to control and simulate complex non-linear systems. It also builds on extensive work we have done in analyzing deterministic chaos in non-linear systems. ...
