A RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION TAG SYSTEM IS PROPOSED WHICH HAS THE UNIQUE CAPABILITY TO PROVIDE LOCATION INFORMATION AS WELL AS TAG ID. THIS SYSTEM USES RADAR AND INTERFEROMETRIC TECHNIQUES TO PROVIDE RANGE AND DIRECTION WITH RESOLUTIONS LESS THAN 1 METER AND LESS THAN 1 DEGREE, RESPECTIVELY. THE SYSTEM IS REAL-TIME AND HAS THE UNIQUE CAPABILITY TO WORK WITH GROUPS OF CO-LOCATED TAGS WITH ZERO ...

THIS PROGRAM PROVIDES AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH OF MILLIMETER WAVE (MMW) UTILIZING THE MOST ADVANCED ACTIVE END GAME HOMING SENSOR IN AN AUGMENTATED SHARED APERTURE MODE WITH ANTI-RADIATION HOUSING WEAPON SYSTEMS. THIS DUAL MODE SENSOR SYSTEM APPROACH WILL BE ABLE TO PENETRATE THE COUNTERMEASURE TECHNIQUE SUCH AS RADIATION SOURCE SHUT DOWN NEAR THE TARGET AREA. THE ACTIVE MMW TERMINAL SENSOR EMPLOYS ...

MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR TRANSPARENT ARMOR INCLUDE OPTICAL CLARITY OVER A RANGE OF WAVELENGTHS, IMPACT RESISTANCE, AND MANIFESTATION OF DUCTILE FAILURE WHEN THE COMPONENT IS SUBJECT TO IMPACT. THIS LAST REQUIREMENT INCLUDES RESISTANCE TO CRACK PROPAGATION AND SPALLATION AND THE PREDOMINANCE OF LOCAL YIELDING ABOUT THE CONTACT AREA RESULTING IN A WELL DEFINED HOLE AS OPPOSED TO RADIAL OR CONCOIDAL ...

A NEW SENSOR CONFIGURATION HOLDS PROMISE FOR SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACTING THE INTERCONNECTIVITY CRISES AS IT RELATES TO PARALLEL SYSTEMS. THE NEED FOR AN ADEQUATE SENSING AND TRANSLATION (CAPABILITY) PATTERN RECOGNITION, ANY AUTOMATED DETECTION TECHNIQUE WHICH COULD ENABLE RESPONSES IN REAL TIME IS APPARENT. IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT INCREASED NUMBERS OF SENSORY ELEMENTS ABLE TO INTERACT WITH PROCESSING E ...

THIS PROPOSAL DESCRIBES AN SBIR PHASE I PROGRAM TO INVESTIGATE TECHNOLOGIES FOR ACHEIVING 25 KHZ UHF DAMA INTEROPERABILITY (AS SPECIFIED IN JTC3A SPECIFICATION 9128) WITH MINIMAL HARDWARE. IN ADDITION, DURING THIS PHASE I PROGRAM, WE PLAN TO CONSIDER SEVERAL INNOVATIVE CONCEPTS FOR ENHANCEMENT OF 25 KHZ UHF OPERATION, WHILE RETAINING INTEROPERABILITY WITH THE CURRENT AND PLANNED 25 KHZ UHF DAMA EQ ...

IRVINE SENSORS CORPORATION (ISC) PROPOSES TO DEMONSTRATE THE DATA RATE REDUCTION AND CLUTTER SUPPRESSION CAPABILITIES IN THREAT WARNING (TW) APPLICATIONS WHICH CAN BE ACHIEVED UTILIZING MASSIVELY-PARALLEL PREPROCESSING TECHNIQUES IMPLEMENTED EFFICIENTLY UTILIZING ISC'S THREE-DIMENSIONAL (3-D) PACKAGING TECHNIQUES. THE PHASE I PROGRAM WILL ADDRESS THE ISSUES CREATED BY UTILIZING STARING INFRARED MO ...

THE IMPORTANCE OF TERRAIN DATA TO THE SUCCESS OF TACTICAL OPERATIONS AND ADVANCES IN COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY HAVE CREATED WIDESPREAD REQUIREMENTS FOR THE UTILIZATION OF DIGITAL TERRAIN DATA (DTD) WITHIN THE ARMY. THE CONCEPTS AND ANALYSIS DIVISION OF THE U.S. ARMY ENGINEER TOPOGRAPHIC LABORATORIES (USAETL) HAS THE PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITY FOR MANAGING THESE ARMY REQUIREMENTS AND IS INVESTIGATING THESE T ...

RECENT ADVANCES IN OPTOELECTRONIC MODULATORS DESIGN AND RELATED SUPERLATTICE AND MULTIPLE-QUANTUM-WELL MATERIALS MAY ENABLE THE CREATION OF A NEW CLASS OF OPTOELECTRONIC CIRCUITS FOR APPLICATIONS IN OPTICAL INTERCONNECTION, OPTIAL LOGIC GATES, SPATIAL-LIGHTMODULATORS AND NEW BISTABLE CONFIGURATIONS. THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS WORK IS TO EXPLORE THE USE OF NEW LOW-DRIVE-VOLTAGE FABRY-PEROT MODULATORS, R ...
