This proposed effort describes the development of an algorithm that will aid theengineer in determining timing set and digital pattern attributes in the developmentof a digital test program. This algorithm will automate the process of examining thethousands of different signal variations and patterns that are possible in a typicaldigital test program, and develop optimized high-speed timing sets a ...

In this proposal, Intelligent Automation, Incorporated (IAI) proposes a novel and robust approach to detect hydraulic pump and motor failures. The algorithm was recently developed by Dr. Chiman Kwan, the principal investigator of this proposal, and hiscollaborators. It consists of three major steps. First, based on normal raw sensor measurements, a residual model is built off-line for a given hydr ...

Associated with space operations, satellite command and control is costly in terms of manpower and training that run continuously throughout the life of the mission. For a cluster of collaborating satellites, the operations complexity is significantlyincreased. Distributed, virtual, cluster commanding is transparently commanding an entire satellite cluster via any one satellite in the cluster. Th ...

Multispectral Solutions, Inc. (MSSI) proposes the development of a low cost, low probability of intercept and detection (LPI/D), obstacle and terrain avoidance system for rotary wing aircraft. The system will provide pilots with early warning of impendingcollision situations and will provide them with ample time to manuever the aircraft out of extremis. The system will be based upon the use of M ...

Use of photonic communications technology on military aerospace vehicles offers significant advantages in weight, volume, reduced cost and improved reliability for these vehicles. Weight and volume savings come from replacement of copper wire andelectronic termination hardware in cable assemblies having large wire counts with optical fiber cables having small fiber counts. Cost savings are asso ...

This SBIR initiates a technology program to develop affordable cryogenic and storable fueled Rocket Based Combined Cycle RBCC vehicles for space access missions. The cryogenic fueled RBCC is the 2nd stage of a Two-Stage-To-Orbit TSTO vehicle that hasbeen boosted by a JP fueled turbine based 1st stage to 3,500-4,500 ft/s. The storable-fueled RBCC is a 1st stage that boosts a cryogenic fueled rock ...
