RGI, THROUGH ITS ARRANGEMENTS WITH SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION, PROPOSES TO DEMONSTRATE THROUGH ANALYSIS THE FEASIBILITY OF USING MODIFIED VERSIONS OF THE OMAR (OPTICAL MICROWAVE APPROACH AND RANGING) SYSTEM TO ENHANCE THE RELIABILITY OF RPVS. OMAR, CURRENTLY UNDER DEVELOPMENT AS A PRECISION, LOW VISIBILITY LANDING SYSTEM FOR AIRCRAFT (WITH EMPHASIS ON HELICOPTERS), LENDS ITSELF ...

THE PROBLEM AREA WE PROPOSE TO INVESTIGATE IS THE APPLICATION OF PARALLEL PROCESSING ALGORITHMS AND TECHNOLOGY TO COORDINATE ANTISUBMARINE WARFARE (ASW) OPERATIONS. OUR TECHNICAL OBJECTIVES ARE TWO-FOLD: 1) TO CONSIDER A SPECIFIC EXAMPLE OF DISCRETE NONLINEAR FILTERING, ANALYZE THE PARALLELISM IN THE DISCRETE FILTERING ALGORITHM, AND DEVELOP NEW ALGORITHMS FOR PARALLEL PROCESSORS COUPLED WITH A TH ...

THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE HAS A REQUIREMENT FOR NON-CONTACT PROXIMITY FUZING WHICH IS IMMUNE TO COUNTERMEASURES AND ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE (EMI/EMP). DIGITAL SIGNAL CORPORATION (DCS) HAS DEVELOPED AND DEMONSTRATED SUCH A FUZE WITH A UNIQUE DESIGN BASED ON A COHERENT SEMICONDUCTOR LASER. THE DEVICE USES OPTICS AND LASERDOPPLER INFORMATION TO PRECISELY DETERMINE THE RELATIVE VELOCITY AND DISTA ...

THE OBJECTIVE OF THE PROPOSED EFFORT IS TO QUALIFY AN INNOVATIVE TECHNIQUE FOR DETECTING TANK MOUNTED GUNS USING NON-IMAGING (THERMAL) SENSORS. TWO EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES WILL BE PERFORMED TO CHARACTERIZE THE INDUCED RESPONSE OF TANK MOUNTED GUNS. THE TWO TECHNIQUES ARE QUITE DIFFERENT, ONE IS ACOUSTIC AND ONE IS ELECTROMAGNETIC, BUT THE BASIC DESIGN OF THE EXPERIMENTS IS VERY SIMILAR. A BROADBAND S ...

THE SBIR PHASE I PROJECT PROPOSED CONSISTS OF THE TESTING OF THE CLASSIFICATION PERFORMANCE OF SEVERAL RELATED MACHINE LEARNING METHODS TO SEISMIC DISCRIMINATION. SEVERAL OTHER APPLICATIONS OF THESE METHODS ARE ALSO SUGGESTED. IN THE APPLICATION TO DISCRIMINATION, THE FOLLOWING DATA SETS WILL BE USED: REGIONAL ARRAY DATA FOR EARTHQUAKES AND QUARRY BLASTS IN THE SCANDINAVIAN REGIONS, IRIS DATA RECO ...

WE PROPOSE AN ALL-DIELECTRIC FIBER OPTIC TIME DOMAIN SENSOR NETWORK WHICH ALLOWS QUASI-DISTRIBUTED, REAL TIME STRAIN, TEMPERATURE, AND PRESSURE MONITORING. THE SYSTEM PROVIDES FAST DATA RATES, PROVIDES LOW SIGNAL ATTENUATION, OFFERS IMMUNITY TO CORROSION AND ELECTRO-MAGNETIC INTERFERENCE, AND REDUCES NETWORKING COMPLEXITY. THE PROPOSED FIBER ARRAY IS AMENABLE TO SUBMERSED AND/OR BURIED APPLICATION ...
