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 ...

Amer Ind, Inc. proposes to fulfill the requirements of DARPA SB962-058, Synchronous Collaboration Glueware, Tools, and Metrics, with a comprehensive approach that focuses on the implementation of synchronous editing of documents with embedded objects, including multimedia objects by: transparently integrating a file format converter with a server-based document repository; using one of those forma ...

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 ...

Arca Systems proposes to initiate the design and development of an intrusion detection system for the GCCS LES (and similar environments). Many current intrusion detection tools are Unix-based, focused on a single host or on a generally homogeneous distributed environment. The notional GCCS LES environment makes extensive use of distributed architecture, using support from the COTS technologies ...

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 ...

The program objective is to develop novel designs, techniques, and structures to synthesize apertures capable of efficient operation over broad frequency ranges and functions. Conventional apertures are narrowly focused, application specific, and basically single point design. To decrease the cost of antennas, a more universal building block design is required. It would provide a significantly ...

The objective of the project is to develop a new mass spectrometric diagnostic tool that will allow quantitative measurement on a nanometer scale of elements having a high ionization potential, such as hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen fluorine, and phosphorous. The proposed work would extend the proven capabilities of laser resonance postionization of sputtered material to enable efficient meas ...

Aurora Flight Sciences, with expertise in designing and manufacturing low Reynolds number high-altitude aircraft, proposes to develop new aerodynamics computational tools and flight control solutions to enable the development of 15cm and smaller hovering micro unmanned aerial vehicles (MUAV)s. The objective of this project is to validate the analytical approach, and refine the proposed MUAV desig ...
