IN THIS PHASE I EFFORT, THE GOAL IS TO DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF CONDUCTING ACCELERATED CORROSION TESTING OF VEHICLES BY SIMULATING 5-10-15 YEARS OF FIELD LIFE IN A COMPUTER CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT SIMULATION CHAMBER. THE DIFFERENT REQUIREMENTS OF THE CHAMBER, THE TYPES OF ENVIRONMENTS PRESENT IN THE DIFFERENT GEOGRAPHICAL REGIONS, THE CORRELATION BETWEEN ACCELERATED CHAMBER TESTS AND FIELD COND ...

This advanced development program is devoted to adapting SATIMO's proprietary Microwave Camera design and the associated proprietary microwave imaging codes based on Augumented Diffraction Tomography (ADT) and the Volumetric Electric Field Integral Equation (VEFIE) to provide efficient 3-D imaging of water movement along perferred flow channels during snowmelt. The customized Microwave Camera wil ...

The proposed Phase I project is the design and development of a wireless comprehensive sensor system for structural health assessment and monitoring. The final goal will be a system consisting of sensor modules or packages which can be permanently placed at the selected critical locations within a structure and which are powered and communicate wirelessly with a master station. The sensor module ...

Military scout vehicles and commercial sports utility vehicles share the common need for advanced suspension/drive systems that offer robustness over widely varying terrain. The ultimate system for handling, ride isolation, and stability control would incorporate high efficiency electric motors independently driving the four wheels, with one on-board high-level computer for controlling the active ...

One of the most challenging information management problems related to the Reconnaissance, Surveillance and Target Acquisition (RSTA) missions is the real-time spatio-temporal fusion of target-specific cues from a netwotk of multiple sensor platforms. A robust algorithmic framework is necessary to involve the multiple agents together and achieve the optimal trade-off between low false alarm rate ...

THIS PROPOSAL IS A PLAN FOR A PROOF OF CONCEPT DEMONSTRATION OF AN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE-BASED DECISION AID TO INTEGRATE PLANNING AND ANALYSIS OF AIR DEFENSE NETWORKS ON A SINGLE WORKSTATION. PROCEDURES FOR PLANNING AND ANALYZING AN AIR DEFENSE NETWORK ARE TIME AND LABOR INTENSIVE. THESE PROCEDURES CONSTITUTE ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT ASPECTS OF OPERATIONAL PLANNING BECAUSE OF TRANSITORY AIRSPAC ...

A number of applications in other commercial as well as military sectors require that multiple distributed data sources be consulted when a specific need arises, and that the results of these consultations be presented to the user. Often, these results are complex and involve multiple documents. Presentation of such results involves automatically generating browsable documents so that the user c ...
