We will demonstrate the feasibility of a new type of airblast pressure sensor which will provide valid overpressure histories for airblast waves travelling in directions up to 90 degrees or more to the direction with which the sensor is aligned. Our specific technical objectives for Phase I are: 1) to develop a quantitative sensor design for assessment of feasibility, 2) to predict the expected p ...

Most E-O sensors operate in the visible and the near infrared. These sensors such as silicon and CCD arrays are very well developed resulting in high resolution and low cost. However, these sensors are limited to a spectral response of 900 to 1000nm. The mixing laser (MIXL) uses a non-linear material doped with lasing ions to create a self frequency summing or difference frequency mix ...

The project goal is to produce an algorithm for synthesizing auditory distance which will be accurately perceived with little or no learning required. The algorithm could be added to an existing AF 30D audio system which uses headphones in a noise-reducing helmet. The approach is to combine very accurate recently developed atmospheric modeling with head-related transfer functions (HR ...

The Cesium vapor magnotometer and ground-penetrating radar senors currently used to identify subsurface Unexploded Ordnance locations also respond to underground clutter and anomalies. The ultimate objective of this project is to develop a classifier or discriminator that has the potential of providing significantly improved performance on target discrimination for subsurface ordnance ...
