We propose to research the use of a hit point decoy, attached to the body of aircraft to increase the survivability of aircraft from sholder launched aint-aircraft missiles. The hit point decoy will radiate infrared energy that will cause the attackingmissile todeviate its course away from critical aircraft areas and instead, impact the aircraft at a hardened, less critcal point where the aircraf ...

As the importance of ontologies has become increasingly clear in recent years, the need for automated reusability has become readily apparent. However, the ability to develop reusable ontologies remains unrealized. Sentar proposes an approach based onthe total knowledge engineering process. Approaching the problem from this perspective opens further possibilities. Corresponding to each ontolog ...

Time Domain Corporation (TDC) proposes to develop and demonstrate a networked, three-dimensional security dome/intrusion detection radar system utilizing ultra wideband (UWB) radar technology to provide enhanced physical security for Naval facilities andforward deployed forces. This multifunctional sensor system will provide efficient high performance physical security in small Marine/Seal tactic ...

Phase I was a highly successful proof of concept that low power, pulsed ultra-wide band technology can effectively propagate in tunnels, through foliage, over distances up to 7 kilometers while maintaining a low probability of detection. This proof ofconcept was accomplished using TDC's first generation PulsON 100 chipset demonstration radio system. Recently, TDC's second generation chipset, the ...

Malaria is a serious threat to people including military personal in endemic areas. So far no prophylactic vaccine is available. The aim of this study is to develop a powerful prime/boost vaccination protocol against malaria using DNA vaccines to primethe immune system and recombinant adenovirus vectors to boost it. The hypothesis is that topical application of adenovirus vectors will strengt ...

In an Air Logistics Center (ALC) environment, where modification and maintenance of fighter (and other) aircraft is performed, there exists an urgent need for the efficient and accurate verification of work performed. This is of utmost importance whenwork is performed on the airfoil or control surfaces. Current techniques using mechanical templates, triangulation, mechanical articulated linkage ...

In air-to-air and air-to-ground missions, target detection and identification can be extremely difficult, especially at extended ranges. There is a need for a precision targeting system which can operate in a high-altitude environment and detect/ID/locatethese deep-hide targets. Photon-X proposes a new and innovative passive EO technique which can provide new innovative target characteristics fo ...

The Photon-X intelligent video technology can be used to support many Navy missions, such as, processing of automated gage movement and structural conditions, tracking and identification of military personnel, automatic and networked record of personnelmovements on board ship, tracking and identification of other military assets, passive clandestine (undetectable by conventional sensors) communica ...
