THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROPOSED EFFORT IS TO DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF USING VOICE COMMANDS FOR THE CONTROL OF GUN TURRETS. THE APPLICATION OF AUTOMATIC SPEECH RECOGNITION TECHNOLOGY HAS GREAT POTENTIAL FOR EXPANDING CREW CAPABILITIES AND REDUCING CONFUSION IN THE DYNAMIC ENVIRONMENT OF THE ATTACK HELICOPTER COCKPIT. THE TASKS WHICH WILL BE REQUIRED TO DETERMINE VOICE CONTROL FEASIBILITY INCLUDE ...

SINCE THE ORIGINAL NAVAL TACTICAL STANDARD DESKTOP COMPUTER (NTSDTC) CONTRACT AWARD IN 1983, THE OPERATIONAL USE OF THE NTSDTC HAS GROWN FROM A STAND-ALONE TACTICAL DECISION AID COMPUTER INTO THE MULTICOMPUTER JOINT OPERATIONAL TACTICAL SYSTEM (JOTS). THE CURRENT JOTS/NTSDTC COMPUTER IS THE HP-9020 SERIES. IN SPITE OF THE IMPRESSIVE PROCESSING POWER OF THIS DESKTOP COMPUTER, FLEET COMMANDERS HAVE ...

THIS PROPOSAL OFFERS AN INNOVATIVE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM OF DETERMINING HOW LONG A TOKEN RING LOCAL AREA NETWORK (LAN) WILL TAKE TO INITIALLY CONFIGURE, OR TO RECONFIGURE FOLLOWING STATION OR CABLE FAILURE/DAMAGE. THIS RECONFIGURATION TIME IS CRITICAL IN REAL-TIME MILITARY APPLICATIONS AND IN INDUSTRIAL CONTROL APPLICATIONS. THE PHASE I PROPOSAL INVOLVES THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN EVENT-STEPPED COMPU ...

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ON DATABASE MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUES FOR NAVY MESSAGE ADDRESS ARE HEREIN PROPOSED IN ANSWER TO THE NAVY REQUIREMENTS FOR A COMPUTERIZED, SPEEDY, DYNAMIC, NETWORK PHONE BOOK. AN OBJECT-ORIENTED DATABASE APPROACH IS TAKEN TO BUILD THE PHONE BOOK BASED ON AN EXISTING DBMS PRODUCT DB VISTA. SUCH A TREE-LIKE DATABASE STRUCTURE PERMITS THE USER-DEFINED ATTRIBUTE TYPE AND FACILITATE ...

A HIGHLY EFFICIENT CONCEPT IS PROPOSED WHICH WILL SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCE ACOUSTIC SIGNATURES OF HELICOPTERS AND TILT ROTOR AIRCRAFT. THE CONCEPT CAN BE INCORPORATED INTO FUTURE HELICOPTER DESIGNS WITHOUT ANY OBVIOUS, WEIGHT OR PERFORMANCE PENALTIES. THE CONCEPT WILL PRODUCE REDUCTION OF SOUND RADIATION IN ALL DIRECTIONS OVER ALL FLIGHT SPEEDS WITH MINIMAL PROCESSING.

THE OBJECTIVES OF THIS STUDY ARE TO INVESTIGATE THE BINDING AND ELUTION OF HUMAN, RABBIT, AND MOUSE IMMUNOGLOBULINS (IGG1, F(AB)2 AND FAB) TO SOLID SURFACES AND TO ANTIBODY. THE BINDING AND ELUTION OF ANTIBODY AND ANTIGEN WILL BE STUDIED ON MICROTITER PLATES AND IMMOBILON FILTERS. ELISA ASSAYS FOR HISTAMINE AND DFP WILL BE SET UP TO MEASURE ELUTION OF HAPTEN-ANTIBODY REACTIONS AND TO ASSAY DFP ELU ...

THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO SHOW THE FEASIBILITY OF AN NSC ADVISORY SYSTEM. THIS SYSTEM WILL USE A SET OF COOPERATING EXPERT SYSTEMS. IT WILL EMBED THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE BEST NSC TECHNICIANS WHICH WILL THAN BECOME THE STANDARD FOR OTHERS. AN INCREMENTAL APPROACH WILL BE USED SO THAT THE SYSTEM WILL BE ABLE TO GROW OVER TIME (I.E. CAN START SMALL AND KEEP ADDING). AN IMPORTANT FEATURE OF THE ...

ACCORDING TO A 1983 STUDY, DOD'S EXPENDITURE FOR ELECTRONIC COMMODITIES CONSTITUTES OVER ONE THIRD ($15 BILLION) OF THE TOTAL ANNUAL COST FOR ALL MILITARY SYSTEMS AND THE RATIO IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE IN THE YEARS AHEAD. SIGNIFICANT COST REDUCTION COULD BE REALIZED IF AUTOMATION FOR LOW VOLUME ASSEMBLY AND REPAIR OPERATIONS COULD BE ACHIEVED. THE FIRST STEP TOWARD AN AUTOMATION GOAL IS TO DEVELOP ...

A NUMBER OF NASA SATELLITES HAVE OBTAINED DATA WHICH CAN BE USED FOR DETERMINING AMBIENT ATMOSPHERIC DENSITY STRUCTURE PARAMETERS. AMONG THEM ARE THE ATMOSPHERIC EXPLORER SERIES -C, -D, AND -E) AND THE SOLAR MESOSPHERIC EXPLORER (SME). IT IS PROPOSED TO ANALYZE THESE DATA TO OBTAIN ESTIMATES OF ATMOSPHERIC DENSITY SPATIAL STRUCTURE PARAMETERS, POWER SPECTRAL DENSITIES ETC. THIS WILL PROVIDE INPUTS ...
