This Phase I proposal describes an effort to develop an Electronic Countermeasure (ECM) hardened proximity fuze sensor applicable to support munition, general purpose bomb, smart-munition and submunition fuzing applications. ECM hardening is achieved by operating the RF sensor at the 60 GHz molecular oxygen (O2) atmospheric adsorption peak. Short-range, radar proximity sensors operating at this ...

Technology development is proposed for an air-delivered submunition employing a rotary wing to provide a large footprint with minimal burden in cost and complexity. With the rotary wing in autorotation, the submunition scans a circular area while in controlled vertical descent. When the sensor, which is mounted on the rotor mast, detects a target, cyclic rotor pitch control is introduced, causing ...

Knowledge based methods have the potential to offer high performance solutions to a wide variety of problems. However, the development of large scale knowledge bases (KBs) and their effective application to problems have so far proved to be more expensive and less feasible than other competing methods such as statistical methods or weak search techniques. There is an immediate and critical need to ...

Increasing amounts of the Department of Defense's software costs are going into safety-critical systems. Our innovation will allow Rome Laboratory to automatically assess the fault-tolerance of its software with a method distinct from the traditional methods of formal analysis or empirical software testing. We will apply a simulated fault-injection scheme that exercises the region of the input s ...
