A novel method of intraweapon wireless communications using magnetic field transmissions was demonstrated during the Phase I portion of this program. Normal physical wire communication links cannot be expected to survive during and after targetpenetration. Therefore, various methods of wireless communication within a metal cylinder 15 inches in diameter and 10 feet in length were evaluated and c ...

AFRL/MN is interested in the development of technologies to support a micro-robot system that can, depending on its payload and operational requirements, act as means of attacking, tagging, tracking, and/or observing enemy operations. Of particularinterest are deeply buried hardened targets. One of the AFRL/MN goals is to develop a micro-scaled device capable of satisfying three basic requireme ...

The search for a fast and reliable field detection system for biological warfare agents continues more than a year after the anthrax scare that accompanied the terrorist attacks of

Flash laser radar (ladar) systems have been developed for automatic target identification in military surveillance systems. Ideally, the system is able to distinguish pixels containing the target from pixels containing background. A signal processor thenuses the range value at target pixels to estimate the target's 3-D shape (angle-angle-range) and, from the 3-D shape, identify the target. Howe ...

We propose to develop the design for a terahertz imaging and spectroscopy inspection system prototype for the detection of concealed threats in packages and personnel. Terahertz imaging has the potential to reveal concealed explosives; metallic andnon-metallic weapons (such as ceramic, plastic or composite guns and knives); flammables; biological agents; chemical weapons and other threats hidden ...

Securboration Inc. is pleased to propose an innovative approach to the automated creation of complete scenarios, or Scenario Generation (SGen), for mission planning simulation. This approach is a continuation of our Phase I effort, which successfullyvalidated our approach to scenario generation, and refined how scenario generation technology can be directly applied to problems facing the Effects ...

Securboration Inc., teaming with Dr. Eugene Santos of the University of Connecticut, is pleased to propose our innovative approach for visualizing and assessing uncertainty entitled, Uncertainty Prediction System (UPSYS). During the phase one effort weplan to demonstrate how the innovative UPSYS technology can be applied to supports visualization and assessment of event uncertainty within the con ...

The ideal Precision Targeting Sensor could be realized if a single sensor provided angle/angle imaging, target ranging, gross body Doppler and fine Doppler (vibrations sensing) for target detection and identification. This proposal addresses a coherentladar that can realize all the above plus additional capabilities to mitigate speckle and to further enhance target identification and decoy discri ...

The ability to produce feature templates in a rapid manner is paramount to target planners. The successful application of an automated template generation capability is desperately needed for emerging weapon systems. These systems require the ability totarget and re-target given installations and facilities at a moments notice. This work will be directed at a particular weapon system - JASSM. Howe ...
