Future USAF vehicles (missiles/fighter aircrafts) will have to operate under high altitude flight conditions in order to reach global targets and/or to meet unforeseen threats to the security of USA. A new accurate engineering code is needed to determine quickly the aerothermal characteristics of the vehicle and optimizeits shape, trajectory, and/or performance. The maneuvering vehicle will have ...

Simulation-based optimization techniques that enlist reinforcement learning controllers are ideally suited for complex and multi-objective optimization problems that cannot be solved easily using traditional techniques, especially when the stochastic natures or the environment, resources, and external interactive entities are taken into account. Reinforcement learning based on incremental value i ...

This effort builds on initial feasiblity analysis and measurements taken to support concealed weapon detection. DSA proposes a nine month program consisting of two (2) items. Item 1 (6 months - 5 tasks) conducts CWD analysis, measurements, evaluation, system design and ends with the delivery of a draft Final Technical Report (Task 5). Item 2 (3 months - 1 task #6) refines and elabor ...

The Government needs a process that develop Form, Fit, Function, and Interface (F3I) specifications for legacy electronics, even when no or almost no design information is present. The process must succeed even when only hardware samples and test information are available. The proposed effort will develop a process by which F3I test requirements can be successfully re-engineering from legacy dat ...

Recent efforts in the target vulnerability community (fixed ground targets, mobile ground targets, and aircraft) have focused on enhancing the blast and fragmentation modeling from weapon detonations. This includes modeling propagation of the detonation effects from the weapon through their interaction with the target geometry, to the development of loads on and response of the target structure. ...
