The USAF Material Command (AFMC) and the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), Defense Microelectronics Activity (DMA) has a critical need to support military planners in establishing a cost effective approach to selecting components and identifying system behavior during the design process, minimizing expensive testing and design failures. Current test facilties are expensive to run as well as time co ...

N/A

BECAUSE OF A LACK OF ADEQUATE FLIGHT OR GROUND TEST DATA FOR HYPERSONIC REENTRY CONDITIONS, THE DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF EXISTING AND FUTURE BRVS, MARVS AND DECOYS WILL INCREASINGLY BENEFIT FROM THE DEVELOPMENT OF ACCURATE AND RELIABLE NUMERICAL TOOLS FOR PREDICTING SUCH HYPERSONIC FLOWFIELDS. TO EFFECTIVELY SUPPORT THE DESIGN AND ANALYSIS STUDIES, THE NUMERICAL SCHEMES REQUIRE A UNIQUE COMBINATION ...

N/A

DEVELOPMENT OF A PLAN AND ITS DEMONSTRATION IN PRODUCING MODERN DATABASE FOR RV TECHNOLOGIES IS PROPOSED BY USING CLOUD MICROPHYSICAL DATA SETS COLLECTED SINCE 1985 OVER THE NORTH AMERICAN CONTINENT AND U.S. ARMY KWAJALEIN ATOLL. THE PLAN INCLUDES THE USE OF AIRBORNE RADAR, MODELING, AND SATELLITE ADDITIONS TO THE PARTICLE SIZE DATA TO CORRELATE PARTICLE SIZE AND LIQUID WATER CONTENT OVER AN EXTEN ...

PREVIOUS RESEARCH EFFORTS CONCERNING THE COGNITIVE PERFORMANCE OF THE MEMBERS OF COMMAND AND CONTROL (C2) TEAMS IN DISTRIBUTED, COMPUTER-MEDIATED SYSTEMS HAVE FOCUSED ON MODIFICATIONS OF SYSTEM DESIGN TO ENHANCE COGNITIVE PERFORMANCE. MYSTECH PROPOSES A COMPLEMENTARY EFFORT THAT FOCUSES ON INNOVATIVE C2 TEAM TRAINING METHODS TO IMPROVE COGNITIVE PERFORMANCE. THE RESEARCH WILL FOCUS ON A SPECIFIC C ...

ION BEAMS WILL BE APPLIED IN SEVERAL ASPECTS OF PROCESSING ZNSE OPTICAL COMPONENTS. FIRST THE MATERIAL WILL BE MILLED, AND THEN IT WILL BE COATED USING ION ASSISTED DEPOSITION TECHNIQUES. REDUCED SCATTER FROM THE SUBSTRATE AND IMPROVE OPTICAL AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF THE FILM ARE ANTICIPATED.

N/A

METHODS OF INTEGRATING ANALYTICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL TECHNIQUES TO PREDICT ELECTRONIC DEVICE RESPONSE TO VIBRATION AND SHOCK LOADINGS ARE PROPOSED. UNIQUE NONINTRUSIVE EXPERIMENTAL TECHNIQUES, COUPLED WITH ADVANCED DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING ALGORITHMS, WILL BE USED TO VERIFY FINITE ELEMENT MODEL INPUT DATA, MODELING ASSUMPTIONS, BOUNDARY CONDITIONS, AND TO DETERMINE MATERIAL PROPERTIES SUCH AS DAMPI ...

THIS OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO DEVELOP AND BUILD A PROTOTYPE OF A DC TO DC VOLTAGE CONVERTER TO BE USED IN ELECTRONIC FOIL INITIATOR APPLICATIONS. THE DC TO DC CONVERTER WILL WORK AT 80% EFFICIENCY USING CURRENT MODE CHARGING. THE WORKING VOLTAGE WILL BE 2.5 KV WITH AN OVERALL POWER DENSITY OF 25 WATTS PER CUBIC INCH. THE DC TO DC REQUIRES AN DYNAMIC ENVIRONMENTAL INPUT FOR CHARGING. THIS UN ...
