DARPA HAS IDENTIFIED A NEED FOR NEW AND IMPROVED TECHNIQUES FOR COATING CERAMIC FIBERS FOR SUBSEQUENT INCORPORATION INTO METALLIC, CERAMIC OR HYBRID MATRICES. AMERICAN MATRIX, INC.'S PHASE I PROGRAM ADDRESSES THE SIGNIFICANT PERFORMANCE ATTRIBUTES (DEFINED BY DARPA AS INTERFACE CHEMICAL REACTION INHIBITION, INTERFACE BOND DEVELOPMENT,AND TAILORED PROPERTIES) WITH A MULTI-FACETED COATING PROGRAM. S ...

ANTROPIX CORPORATION PROPOSES TO OBTAIN TIME - RESOLVE OPTICAL PROPERTIES MEASUREMENTS (PLASMA OPACITY IN THE 8 - 12 MICRON SPECTRAL REGION, AS WELL AS STARK BROADENING AND RELATIVE INTENSITY PARAMETERS) ON BROADBAND PLASMA BARRIERS (BPBS) GENERATED BY LASER ACTIVATION OF ALKALI METAL (E.G., NA AND CS) VAPORS. SIMILAR MEASUREMENTS WILL BE COMPLETED ON KNOWN PHASE TRANSITION MATERIALS (PTMS) SUCH A ...

AN INNOVATIVE RF EM MODULATION RADAR SENSOR IS PROPOSED WHICH WILL PROVIDE A RICH, MULTI-SPECTRAL RESPONSE FROM RELOCATABLE STRATEGIC TARGETS. THIS NOVEL RF SYSTEM HAS THE FOLLOWING MAJOR ADVANTAGES OVER COMPETING RADAR SYSTEMS. A. IN ADDITION TO PROVIDIG THE CONVENTIONAL RADAR RETURN, A SECONDARY PHASE MODULATION IS INTRODUCED WHICH PROVIDES A UNIQUE RESPONSE CAPABLE OF FURTHER TARGET CHARACTERIZ ...

DECISION SCIENCE CONSORTIUM, INC. (DSC) PROPOSES TO ENGAGE IN AN INNOVATIVE RESEARCH PROGRAM TO DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT AN ADVERSARIAL PLANNING SYSTEM THAT IS ABLE TO REASON ABOUT THE PERSISTENCE OVER TIME OF AN ADVERSARY'S BELIEF AND INTENTIONS. SPECIFICALLY, THIS SYSTEM WILL UTILIZE EITHER A NONMONOLITHIC SITUATIONAL OR TEMPORAL LOGIC TO DETERMINE THE EXTENT TO WHICH AN ADVERSARY'S PRESENT BELIEFS ...

THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW AND INNOVATIVE TECHNIQUES WHICH DETERMINE ELECTROMAGNETIC SCATTERING BEHAVIOR ARE NECESSARY IN ORDER TO ADVANCE THE STATE-OF-THE-ART IN RADAR CROSS SECTION (RCS) CONTROL. TWO OF THE MORE IMPORTANT ANALYTICAL PROBLEMS REQUIRING SOLUTION IN THIS AREA ARE THE CHARACTERIZATION OF RADAR SCATTERING FROM COMPOSITE MATERIALS AND OPTIMUM APPLICATION OF MATERIAL COATINGS TO METALLIC S ...

N/A

IT IS PROPOSED HERE TO DEVELOP A METHOD FOR PREDICTION OF TRANSITION ON NASP (NATIONAL AERO-SPACE PLANE) CONFIGURATION AND FOR THE CONTROL/ENHANCEMENT OF SUPERSONIC COMBUSTION IN THE SCRAMJET. THE METHOD IS BASED UPON LINEAR STABILITY ANALYSIS WITH NONEEQUILIBRIUM EFFECTS WHICH TYPIFY THE BOUNDARY LAYERS ON NASP AIRFRAME AND THE MIXING LAYER IN THE SCRAMJET. THESE THREE-DIMENSIONAL VISCOUS LAYERS, ...
