The notion of using an inexpensive inertial augmentation system for a tube launched ordnance, either with or without a terminal homing sensor, has existed for some time now. The main drawback has been the high cost associated with reliable inertial components and the hardening problem with gyroscopes or other rate sensing elements. Some of the solutions that have been proposed to date attempt to ...

This proposal describes a novel flat-panel display using light-emitting-diodes (LEDs) as light sources. A side-lighting scheme is proposed to significantly reduce the number of LEDs from that required in a conventional LED matrix display. Channel waveguides and specially designed light switches will be used to produce spatial modulation of lights for the purpose of generating video images. This ...

We will develop a fully capable Windows environment for connected-pipe ramjet and ducted rocket testing with interactive flow system configuration, CEC calculations, on-hand test articles, sophisticated plotting and tabular presentation, and export of text, tables, diagrams,'. and plots. Phase I work includes NASA CET code modifications and integration into the Windows environment. Different fac ...

The program objective is to adapt radar imaging technology to meet test center measurement requirements at high altitudes and long ranges where current optics and radars are lacking. METRATEK is in a unique position to accomplish this effort because we have a proven reputation for establishing the state of the art in advanced radar imagine technology and we have already developed and proven the t ...

Q-DOT proposes an innovative wideband microwave programmable delay line network. The proposed approach offers an unprecedented combination of bandwidth, 16 GHz, resolution, delays to 655.34 Us in steps of 20 ns, delay stability, 1 ns over temperature, and amplitude stability, +-1.5 dB. Most of the components are off-the-shelf, with only one custom component to be developed, a micromachined, opti ...
