SELF PROPAGATING HIGH TEMPERATURE SYNTHESIS (SHS) OF TIC AND TIB2 RESULTS IN A HOT POROUS PRODUCT. IF THE TEMPERATURE OF THE PRODUCT EXCEEDS THE DUCTILE-BRITTLE TRANSITION TEMPERATURE, THE HOT PRODUCT CAN BE COMPACTED TO REDUCE POROSITY AND YIELD A CONSOLIDATED BODY WITH USEFUL STRUCTURAL PROPERTIES. SEVERAL COMPACTION TECHNIQUES HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED. AMONG THESE, EXPLOSIVELY GENERATED DYNAMIC COM ...

LAUREN MANUFACTURING COMPANY WOULD LIKE TO DEVELOP A MODIFIED FLUOROELASTOMER TECHNOLOGY TO PROTECT LAMINATED FIBERGLASS REINFORCES STRUCTURES FROM CHEMICAL AGENTS AND DECONTAMINANTS. FLAME RETARDENCY, ADHESION, ABRASION RESISTANCE, LOW WEIGHT/AREA CHARACTERISTICS WOULD BE IMPROVED. CHLORO-TRIFLUOROETHYLENE SHOWS MORE PROMISING RESULTS THAN CONVENTIONAL FLUOROELASTOMERS. LAUREN PROPOSES TO FORMULA ...

THIS PROGRAM WILL CENTER ON DEVELOPING A FABRIC ARRAY SYSTEM WHICH WILL HAVE THE DUAL CAPABILITIES OF SUPPRESSING THERMAL (IR) AND RADAR SIGNATURES FOR COMBAT TROOPS, EQUIPMENT, AND SHELTERS. RESEARCH WILL CENTER ON IDENTIFYING AND QUANTIFYING DUAL THERMAL COATINGS (A HIGHLY REFLECTIVE COATING AND A LOW EMISSIVITY COATING). SANDWICHED BETWEEN TWO COATED FABRICS WOULD BE A DIPOLE FILLER WHICH WOULD ...

MATERIAL CONCEPTS, INC. WILL ATTEMPT TO DEVELOP A TWO-DIMENSIONAL IR DECOY SYSTEM USING METAL-COATED FABRICS WHICH CAN BE RESISTIVELY HEATED TO GENERATE THE PROPER IR SIGNATURES. SUCH A SYSTEM WILL BE LIGHTWEIGHT, EASY TO TRANSPORT, COULD BE EASILY MASS PRODUCED AT AN ATTRACTIVE UNIT COST, AND WOULD WITHSTAND VARIOUS WEATHER AND BATTLEFIELD CONDITIONS. FURTHER, THIS SYSTEM WOULD BE FLEXIBLE AND EA ...

THE DEVELOPMENT OF A COMPUTERIZED ANALYSIS PROGRAM WHICH WILL ANALYZE THE EFFECTS OF INTERCHANGING VARIOUS BATTALION EQUIPMENT/WEAPONS CONFIGURATIONS WOULD BE A USEFUL TOOL FOR THE BATTLE MANAGER, OR THE ENGINEER STUDYING WHERE TO PLACE EFFORT FOR LIGHTENING BATTALION WEIGHT. THE MIDATLANTIC RESEARCH CORPORATION WILL DESIGN A COMPUTERIZED SYSTEM WHEREBY THE USER MAY PERFORM "WHAT IF" ANALYSIS BY I ...

3-D SENSING TECHNOLOGY HAS PROGRESSED TO THE POINT THAT HIGH SPEED, 3-D ROBOT VISION FOR TRACKING OBJECTS IN A WORK CELL MAY BE ACHIEVABLE. PERCEPTRON IS AGGRESSIVELY PURSUING 3-D SENSING AND RELATED TECHNOLOGIES AND CAN MAKE SIGNIFICANT TECHNOLOGICAL PROGRESS TOWARD THE SOLICITED PROGRAM GOALS. PERCEPTRON IS CURRENTLY DEVELOPING A SERIES OF 3-D SCANNERS TO SUIT THE NEEDS OF ROBOT RELATED OPERATIO ...

THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROPOSAL IS TO DEMONSTRATE THE FEASIBILITY IN DEVELOPING A BI-DIRECTIONAL (2 WAY) CADD TRANSLATOR BETWEEN DSREDS SYSTEMS (2D RASTER) AND THE INTERGRAPH CADEM SYSTEM. THE DEVELOPMENT OF SUCH A TRANSLATOR WILL GREATLY REDUCE THE MANPOWER WASTE AND DUPLICATION OF EFFORT THAT ARE INHERIT IN THE CURRENT METHODOLOGY USED. DUE TO PIONEER TECHNOLOGY EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE WITH THE INTERG ...
