THE PROPOSED PROGRAM OFFERS AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH FOR PROTECTING A BATTLE GROUP FROM ATTACKS BY ADVANCED ANTI-SHIP MISSILES. SPACIALLY DISTRIBUTED COUNTERMEASURES, OF VARIOUS TYPES, ARE DEPLOYED IN A COORDINATED MANNER SO AS TO COUNTER ALL PHASES AND ASPECTS OF THREAT MISSILE WEAPON SYSTEMS. THESE COORDINATED COUNTERMEASURES TECHNIQUES ARE APPLIED SEQUENTUALLY AND THEIR EFFECTIVENESS AGAINST EACH ...

A HIGH TEMPERATUE WARNING SWITCH FOR ENGINE COOLING SYSTEMS IS CONCEIVED WHICH PROVIDES WARNING AT A RELATIVELY LOWER TEMPERATURE LEVEL (E.G. 212 DEGREE FAHRENHEIT) IF THE SYSTEM PRESSURE IS BELOW 7 PSIG AND AT A HIGHER TEMPERATURE LEVEL (E.G. 225 DEGREES FAHRENGEIT) IF THE SYSTEM PRESSURE IS ABOVE 7 PSIG. IN THE EVENT OF COOLING SYSTEM PRESSURE LOSS, THIS DUAL-LEVEL, PRESSURE DEPENDENT WARNING SW ...

THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO DEVELOP A VACCINE DELIVERY SYSTEM WHICH WILL STIMULATE, RAPIDLY, A STATE OF NON-SPECIFIC PROTECTION WHILE IT ENHANCES THE SPECIFIC IMMUNE RESPONSE TO THE VACCINE AND SHORTENS THE INDUCTION PERIOD FOR DEVELOPMENT OF SPECIFIC IMMUNITY. THIS WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED BY PREPARING THE VACCINE IN AN OILIN-WATER EMULSION THAT CONTAINS NON-TOXIC IMMUNOSTIMULATORS OF MICROBI ...

THE U.S. ARMY'S SMALL CALIBER AMMUNITION MODERNIZATION PROGRAM (SCAMP) CARTRIDGE BRASS (70/30) CUP INSPECTION IS CURRENTLY A MANUAL PROCESS THAT IS BASED ON THE DIMENSIONAL AND HARDNESS (OR GRAIN SIZE( MEASUREMENTS OF SAMPLES FROM EACH CUP LOT. IN THIS PROPOSED WORK, TESTING WITH LABORATORY MOCKUPS WOULD EVALUATE THE MOST PROMISING SENSING TECHNIQUES FOR THE MEASUREMENT OF CUP DIMENSIONS AND HARDN ...

AN EFFICIENT COMPUTATIONAL METHOD IS PROPOSED FOR MODELING THE COMPLEX PHYSICAL PHENOMENA OCCURING IN HIGH ENERGY CONTINUOUS WAVE LASER FLOW FIELDS. THESE FLOWS TYPICALLY CONTAIN BOUNDARY LAYERS, MIXING LAYERS, WAKES, AND EMBEDDED SHOCK WAVES. IT IS DIFFICULT TO GENERATE A MESH APRIOR WHICH WILL RESOLVE ALL FEATURES OF THE FLOW. THEREFORE, AN ADAPTIVE GRID TECHNIQUE WILL BE USED AND COUPLED TO AN ...

THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN AUTOMATED CUP INSPECTION MODULE IS PROPOSED. THE OBJECTIVES OF THE PHASE I EFFORT ARE TO ESTABLISHED THE PARAMETERS WHICH MUST BE MEASURED AND THEIR REQUIRED RESOLUTION. THE PARAMETERS INCLUDE HARDNESS, OUTSIDE AND INSIDE DIAMETERS, BASE THICKNESS, TOTAL LENGTH, AND WALL THICKNESS. IN PHASE I, THE MEASUREMENT CONCEPTS WILL BE MOCKED-UP AND DYNAMICALLY TESTED TO VERIFY THEIR G ...
