PSI PROPOSES A PHASE I EFFORT TO DESIGN A CUSTOM SCANNING APPARATUS THAT, WHEN ASSEMBLED IN PHASE II, WILL INCREASE THE DATA DISPLAY RATE OF THE NOSC THREE-DIMENSIONAL VOLUMETRIC DISPLAY BY AT LEAST ONE ORDER OF MAGNITUDE ABOVE ITS CURRENT CAPABILITIES. IN ADDITION, THE APPRATUS WILL PROVIDE A MULTI-COLOR CAPABILITY TO THE CURRENT MONOCHROME DISPLAY. DISTINCT COLORS WOULD FACILITATE DISTINCTION OF ...

MILITARY LOSS FORECASTING IS AN IMPORTANT PROBLEM FOR SEVERAL REASONS. PERSONNEL LOSSES ARE COSTLY BECAUSE THEY INCREASE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO MUST BE RECRUITED AND TRAINED. MORE SERIOUS IS THE PROSPECT OF MILITARY MISSIONS DEGRADED BY MANPOWER SHORTAGES. THERE ARE SEVERAL DIFFERENT TYPES OF FORECASTING METHODOLOGIES IN USE AT THE PRESENT TIME. FOR EXAMPLE ORDINARY LEAST SQURES STEPWISE REGRESS ...

OPTICAL FIBERS CAN PROVIDE AN ADVANCED DATA TRANSMISSION, DIAGNOSTIC AND SENSING CAPABILITY FOR FUTURE AIRCRAFT. THERE IS A NEED TO PROVIDE A MONOLITHIC MATERIALS CAPABILITY FOR DISTRIBUTING FIBER OPTIC SIGNALS IN COMPUTER BACKPLANES AS WELL AS IN AIRCRAFT SKINS AND ENGINE/AIRCRAFT STRUCTURES. WHEN OPTICAL FIBERS ARE EMBEDDED INTO A COMPOSITE MATERIAL, THE FIBER MUST SURVIVE THE TEMPERATURE AND PR ...

NON-VOLATILE RANDOM ACCESS MEMORIES (NVRAM) OF 256 AND 512 BITS BASED ON THE FERROELECTRIC MATERIAL PB(ZR, TI)O3 ARE NOW BEING INTRODUCED INTO THE MARKET. LARGER MEMORIES, OF INTEREST TO THE MILITARY, REQUIRE IMPROVEMENTS IN THE BASIC MATERIAL. THE PROPERTIES OF BULK LEAD-GERMANATE SUGGEST GREAT POTENTIAL FOR THIS APPLICATION, HOWEVER THE PROPERTIES OF THIN FILMS FABRICATED FROM IT TO DATE HAVE NO ...

THE PROPOSAL IS TO ESTABLISH QUANTITATIVE THERMOGRAPHIC NON-DESTRUCTIVE EVALUATION (QTNDE) FOR NONDESTRUCTIVE INSPECTION AND DEFECT EVALUATION OF FRACTURE-CRITICAL ADVANCED AIRCRAFT MATERIALS. THIS WILL BE BASED ON RECENT THEORETICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL ADVANCES CONCERNING THE ADIABATIC THERMOELASTIC EFFECT AND ADDITIONAL EXPERIMENTS ON TWO DEMONSTRATION MATERIALS. A SCREENING MATRIX WILL BE ESTABLIS ...

IN TODAY'S RAPIDLY CHANGING AND HIGHLY COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT, UNIMPEDED ACCESS TO INFORMATION IS ESSENTIAL FOR AN ORGANIZATION'S GROWTH AND SURVIVAL. OPTIMAL INFORMATION ACCESS REQUIRES FULL, TRANSPARENT INTEGRATION OF AVAILABLE INFORMATION RESOURCES. UNFORTUNATELY, INFORMATION RESOURCES ARE TYPICALLY CREATED AND EVOLVE IN RESPONSE TO SPECIFIC, INDEPENDENT ADMINISTRATIVE, MANAGERIAL OR ENGINEERI ...

THIS PROJECT WILL INVESTIGATE THE FEASIBILITY OF DEVELOPING AN ADA COMPILER WHOSE OBJECT CODE IS BASED ON THE FORTH PROGRAMMING SYSTEM. THE PRINCIPAL ELEMENTS OF THE RUN-TIME SYSTEM WOULD INCLUDE THE USE OF THREADED CODE, A DUAL-STACK ARCHITECTURE, AND A TIGHTLY-COUPLED SET OF OPERATORS TO PERFORM BOTH SYSTEM AND APPLICATION FUNCTIONS. SUCH A COMPILER WOULD BE CAPABLE OF SUPPORTING EMBEDDED SYSTEM ...
