The objective of work during Phase I is to develop a prototype to show that a representative sample of source data maintained on a commercial relational database management system can be acquired, objectified, and furnished to a client application for use.Phase I will also demonstrate that the data transfer can occur over a secured data network. Data Process Technologies proposes to develop a syst ...

Research is currently underway to produce guidelines for the development of mission and safety critical systems implemented in Ada 95. This research will analyze whether certain features of Ada 95 should be included or excluded from a critical application. To be of practical value such an analysis will require specific tool support. The Ada Semantic Interface Specification (ASIS) defines a ...

In this Phase I proposal DDL OMNI Engineering proposes to demonstrate the feasibility of an innovative composite Roll-On/Roll-Off (RO/RO) ramp concept that enables in-stream transfer of cargo from logistic supply ships to floating causeway RO/RO dischargefacility (RRDF) platforms during sea state 5 (SS5) seaway conditions. The concept is based on the development of modular composite RO/RO ship ra ...

ObjectVideo currently markets a commercial automated video surveillance product that detects and tracks targets in video streams. The product allows a user to specify simple events of interest via an intuitive graphical user interface. ObjectVideo proposesbasic research with the goal of enhancing product capabilities in the following areas: (1) detecting individual humans and recognizing their pos ...

BENEFITS: 1) High-end custom installations for high valued assets such as military installations, factories, potential terrorist targets, etc;2) Medium security monitoring, typified by many business customers; and3) Inexpensive systems for consumers wishing to monitor their homes, other property, or their child care providers.

DSR proposes three new concepts to improve performance and reduce workload for all SSN Combat Systems operators. 1) The automated generation of geographic situation (GEOSIT)-Plan View displays with icons and linked vectors representing ownship and contacts being held. 2) Classification confirmation and contact monitoring with SmartAudio providing post beamformer audio processing gain and high sign ...

Operators have some difficulty classifying contacts on current system displays. Existing display techniques could incorporate broadband spectra to assist operators in the discrimination of contacts. A unique approach is proposed that uses color encoded broadband spectral signature information to discriminate contacts. This simple addition of encoding contact broadband information with color allow ...

Current signal processing techniques for passive sonar are limited by their simple plane wave mechanics assumptions. Next generation systems, if they are to offer significant performance improvements, must account for the complex propagation conditions that exist in the ocean. To this end DSR proposes an adaptive technique to perform localization of contacts using the highly complex acoustic pro ...

The objective is the creation and development of the ystem al Common Operating Environment (CSTCOE). DSR proposes a CSTOE based on a Combat System Middleware Standard (CSMS) that will enable innovative use of middleware software as both a breakwall and interface between combat system software applications, operating ...

The DSR Team consisting of DSR, Logicon Syscon and the Institute for Simulation and Training (IST) proposes to develop the architecture and system requirements for the construction of an advanced virtual display designated the ation of this architecture is the ability to introduce an easily reconfigurable, ship specific, fully interactive, indiv ...
