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 ...

In the phase I program, Advanced Ceramics Research, Inc. (ACR) fabricated in situ metallic foams by using a unique water-soluble polymer blend and ACR's Extrusion Freeform Fabrication (EFF) method. When the green parts were heated for binder burnout, thebinder was found to foam and create uniform closed, high-aspect ratio porosity. The freeform fabrication also could create open porosity ranging f ...

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 ...

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 ...

As the current trends in transistor miniaturization are continued down to the molecular level ( in a dimension of tens of nanometers or less), the electronic properties of solids and solid-solid interfaces are inherently different on the nanometer level.It is becoming clear that continued increases in circuit density will require fairly dramatic changes in the way transistors are designed and ope ...

The team of ARTIS, LLC and Brandeis University will address three primary objectives in Phase II. We will determine side effects and after effects of decoupled motion and virtual environments in the laboratory, in a Ship Motion Simulator (SMS) and, in theOption Phase, at sea. Second, we will develop a high-accuracy, low-latency, miniaturized MOCOVE device. Finally, we will interface the device ...

The objective is the development of a high power microwave antenna to operate with 100 megawatts pulsed input at L band. Unfortunately, the present dish antennas capable of achieving this objective are too large for use on Army land vehicles (HMM) and airplatforms (Blackhawk). With recent antennas in dielectric materials, forrelectric materials, semiconductors, and plasmas, coupled with advances ...

The objective is to develop an RF Distribution (RFDS) Systemoperating over HF to UHF to support not only communications butalso information warfare (IW) systems (attack and exploit)requirements. The RFDS is capable of accommodating broadbandsignals distribution to allow spread spectrum and frequencyhopping communications and counter-communications (IW)operations. It will also be compatable with ...
