The SOCOM direction finding (DF) requirement is a small, low-power package that is modular in design and capable of interoperating with a variety of receivers including the SIGINT Threat Warning receivers currently under development by Digital ReceiverTechnology, Inc. and Applied Signal Technology, Inc. Applied Signal and Image Technology is uniquely positioned to offer SOCOM a solution for this ...

A unique approach to the problem of portable signal identification training (PSIT) is proposed through the use of an integrated signals database, training software, and the re-use of operator interface software. Two training scenarios are addressed:standalone training mode and transmit training mode. The proposed approach is based entirely on COTS hardware. The approach also minimizes the hardw ...

Avtec views this SOCOM program as an RF systems development program, more than just an antenna development program. The family of antennas developed under this program must work with a wide range of communications systems, and also provide a wide range offunctionality (communications reception and transmission over a broad frequency range with multiple radio systems, provide omni and directional c ...

A 2.5 MV PULSER WAS BUILT AND TESTED AS A "PROOF-OF-PRINCIPLE" FOR THE EMPRESS II THREAT LEVEL NAVY EMP TEST FACILITY. NO DISPOSITION OF THIS QUARTER SCALE PULSER HAS BEEN MADE. CASDE CORPORATION BELIEVES THAT THIS PULSER OFFERS DNA AND THE SERVICES A UNIQUE DEVICE THAT COULD BE UTILIZED FOR EMP TESTING OF NUMEROUS DOD EQUIPMENTS. CASDE PROPOSES TO: (1) IDENTIFY THE PRESENT CAPABILITIES AND PARAME ...

IF U.S. NAVY SURFACE COMBATANTS SURVIVE THE EARLY EFFECTS OF NUCLEAR WEAPON BURSTS SUCH AS AIRBLAST, THERMAL, ABIS, AND UNDEX, THERE IS STILL A REMAINING THREAT FROM THE BASE SURGE. THIS THREAT IS COUNTERED BY AN ON BOARD WASHDOWN SYSTEM. THIS STUDY WILL DETERMINE THE REGIONS OF THE BATTLE ZONE WHICH ARE (OR ARE NOT) DOMINATED BY THE BASE SURGE AND ASSESS THE BENEFIT DERIVED FROM SUCH WASHDOWN SYS ...

Handheld stand-off chemical agent detection is the next step in a line of research dating back 30 years. Technology has advanced to the point where reasonable designs for Infrared Spectrometers to remotely introgate chemical agents from very smallpackages can be considered.The incremental, adaptive engineering to move from man-portable systems to hand-held operation requires careful consideration ...

Under phase I of this program, DRT identified a feasible design approach that very nearly meets or exceeds the requirements for this portable wireless receiving system. The critical areas of size, weight, power consumption, performance and ruggedness wereall addressed. Along with major breakthroughs in power and size reduction, the mechanical design was refined to implement an innovative, passiv ...

THE CONTRACTOR HAS PATENTED TECHNOLOGY FOR A UNIQUE PROCESS THAT DIRECTLY CONVERTS AN ACOUSTIC SIGNAL INTO A VISIBLE ONE IN REAL-TIME WITHOUT ELECTRONIC CIRCUITRY. THIS RELIES ON THE ACOUSTO-OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF A CONTINUOUS LAYER OF LIQUID CRYSTAL THIN FILM LAYER WHICH SERVES AS BOTH THE SENSOR AND THE DISPLAY. THE IMAGE CAN BE VIEWED DIRECTLY BY MEANS OF CCD CAMERA. HOLOGRAPHY PROVIDES FOR BOTH ...

Wear and erosion limit the service life and degrade the performance of weapons used by U. S. Special Operations Forces. Gun barrel coatings to maintain barrel life, overall weapon performance and reduce sustainment costs are required. These new coatingswill conform to environmental initiatives to reduce hexavalent chrome usage. Luna Innovations will develop a complete coating process and system ...
