THE PERCENT OF 02 IN BREATHING GASES CAN BE MEASURED TO AN ACCURACY OF +0.01 PERCENT BY USING SONIC MEASUREMENT TECHNOLOGY. A SOLID-STATE OXYGEN SENSOR CAN BE DEVELOPED WHICH IS SMALL IN SIZE, INSENSITIVE TO PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE CHANGES, AND IS NOT AFFECTED BY ACCELERATION.

THE OVERALL GOAL OF THIS STUDY WILL BE TO DEVELOP AN INTERACTIVE, OPTIMIZATION-BASED, COMPUTER GRAPHICS SOFTWARE PACKAGE FOR THE DETERMINATION OF THE OPTIMAL PHYSICAL FIT OF OBJECTS (I.E. WEAPONS, SUBMUNITIONS, ETC...) INTO CONTAINERS (I.E. AIRCRAFT, MISSILE DISPENSERS, TEC...). THIS PACKAGE WILL HAVE 1) A GEOMETRIC MODELER FOR THE CREATION OF THE GEOMETRIC DESCRIPTION, 2) A DESIGN DEFINITION ROUT ...

THE CAPABILITY OF PERFORMING BOTH ATMOSPHERIC WIND VELOCITY AND WATER VAPOR CONCENTRATION MEASUREMENT WITH A PULSED COHERENT LASER RADAR IS IMPORTANT IN MANY METEOROLOGICAL, ENVIRONMENTAL AND WEATHER FORECASTING APPLICATIONS. COHERENT LIDAR SYSTEMS ARE PROVEN INSTRUMENTS FOR THE REMOTE MEASUREMENT AT ATMOSPHERIC WIND PROFILES. A RANGE RESOLVED COHERENT DIAL SYSTEM HAS NOT BEEN DEVELOPED AT THIS TI ...

THE PURPOSE OF THIS RESEARCH IS TO STUDY THE FEASIBILITY OF QUANTIFYING THE EFFECTS OF IREASED AUTOMATION ON THE WORKLOAD AND PERFORMANCE OF THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRA-TION'S AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER. IN PHASE I, RESEARCH WILL FOCUS ON ADAPTRING OUR CURRENT HUMAN PERFORMANCE MODEL TO REPRESENT THE JOB CHARACTERISTICS OR ATTRIBUTES THAT WILL DETERMINE LEVELS OF WORKLOAD AND PERFORMANCE IN THE AD ...

THE RECOGNIZED LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR PHENOMENON KNOWN AS A MICROBURST POSES A SERIOUS AIR SAFETY THREAT TO COMMERCIAL AVIATION WHILE IN A LANDING OR POSES A SERIOUS COMMERCIAL AVIATION WHILE IN A LANDING OR TAKEOFF PATTERN. THIS LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR HAS BEEN DEMONSTRATED TO DE A THIS LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR HAS BEEN DEMONSTRATED TO BE A MAJOR CONTRIBUTING FACTOR TO SEVERAL CRASHES OF COMMERCIAL AIRLIN ...

TO SUCCESSFULLY EMPLOY THE INTRINSICALLY SHORT ACCESS TIME (I.E., LESS THAN 1NS) OF GAAS DIGITAL MEMORY CHIPS, UNIQUE SIGNAL PROCESSING ARCHITECTURES WILL BE REQUIRED WHICH MAY INFLUENCE CONVENTIONAL FUNCTION PARTITIONING AMONG INTEGRATED CIRCUITS. TO DETERMINE THE OPTIMAL ARCHITECTURE OF BOTH PROCESSOR AND IC'S, A CANDIDATE PROCESSOR OF IMPORTANCE TO THE AIR FORCE WILLL BE SELECTED. ITS ARCHITECT ...

MICA was selected and awarded to ARiA under SBIR Topic AF151-194, technically managed by AFRL/RITB with SAF/AQ-OTI as the sponsor organization. Under prior Phase I and II SBIR efforts ARiA developed, trained, and tested the Machine Interface for Contracting Assistance (MICA). MICA leverages academic and commercial-sector advances in cognitive-computing, deep learning, graph storage, informational ...

The SEAKR team proposes to continue development of the advanced protocol routing system begun in the Phase I effort, to reduce risk toward a flight deployable system for SATCOM assets such as Iridium NEXT. SEAKRs development of the Iridium NEXT modem...

ABSTRACT:Conformal phased array laser weapon system technology is incrementally moving toward technical feasibility.Our Phase 1 Generalized Phased Array Weapon System Beam Director Development (GPAWS-BDD) program completed a detailed optical and mechanical design for a conformal phased array laser weapon system based on requirements developed for the Nutornics High Energy Laser Phased Array System ...

As Department of Defense (DoD) needs and requirements change, there is a developing need for Radio Frequency (RF) antenna systems that can support higher performance missions. These missions require increased apertures to be available from the same satellite platform, and will additionally require that this capability be delivered at a lower mission cost. MMA Design has developed a concept for a n ...
