Project will demonstrate the feasibility of combining signatures from multiple sensor domains to the problem of detecting, localizing and characterizing an underground facility. The Phase I effort will focus on establishing, integrating, and validating models for the source and propagation phenomenologies associated with electromagnetic, seismic, and acoustic signatures of mechanical and electro ...

In Phase I, ALPHATECH will define a model-neutral data structure and supporting access mechanisms that will provide interoperability between different modeling methodologies in support of large scale systems engineering. The model-neutral data structure will provide a common data representation of the model-specific data that is contained in the different modeling methods. The access mechanisms ...

SatCon Technology Corporation proposes to develop the next generation power controller module aimed at the integrated control and power functions desired for the Power Electronics Building Block (PEBB) which has broad goverment and commercial interest. Building on power hybrid technology advances made by SatCon during participation in Chrysler Corporation's "Patriot" Hybrid Electric Race Car Prog ...

DARPA has identified collaborative computing as a technology not yet adequately developed in the marketplace. This need to share and interactively work with documents and other information objects across separate computer systems is really the underlying human business need that originally drove the creation of network technology, desktop video-teleconferencing, and even the failed earlier indust ...

There is an explosion of 3-D graphics technology in the mainstream commercial market. A $10,000 3-D graphics PC outperforms a $100,000 UNIX 3-D graphics workstation in virtually all aspects, in particular the 3-D rendering speed. We have an opportunity to exploit this new technology so every analyst or war-fighter can use their desktop PC to visualize in real-time 3-D urban and terrain data. In ...

This Phase I project has two primary objectives. The first objective is to develop an engineering model of Resonant Tunneling Devices (RTD) to be implemented in AIM-Spice, a commercial software package running under Windows 95/NT. The development of a reliable device model is a prerequisite for the design and production of any semiconductor device technology. The RTD model will be a semi-empiri ...

OUR PROPOSAL EFFORT DEFINES AN APPROACH TO DEVELOPING A FAMILY OF LOW-COST EXPENDABLE ATMOSPHERIC ACOUSTIC SENSORS. DURING PHASE I WE PROPOSE TO IDENTIFY THE HARDWARE COMPONENTS AND ON-BOARD PROCESSING REQUIREMENTS FOR AN ADVANCED ACOUSTIC SENSOR PACKAGE. OUR GOAL IS TO DEFINE A PACKAGE THAT MAY BE READILY DEPLOYED TO A REMOTE SITE, EITHER BY AIRBORNE MEANS OR BY A SINGLE INDIVIDUAL TRAVELLING ON ...

FOSTER-MILLER PROPOSES TO DEVELOP A NOVEL IN SITU PROCESS MONITOR TO COMPLETELY CHARACTERIZE AND CONTROL THE MOCVD GROWTH PROCESS FOR MERCURY CADMIUM TELLURIDE (MCT). IT WILL BE BASED ON FOSTER-MILLER'S HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL REMOTE FIBER OPTIC FTIR PROCESS MONITOR. THIS TOOL WAS DEVELOPED BY FOSTER-MILLER TO MONITOR AND CONTROL POLYMER REACTIONS IN HOSTILE ENVIRONMENTS, AND IS A WINNER OF A RECENT IR- ...
