THIS PROJECT WILL PROVIDE AN ANALYSIS OF THE TECHNICAL ISSUES RELATED TO AUTOMATED INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY GENERATION. THIS ANALYSIS WILL REFINE AN APPROACH TO: (1) USER INTERACTION WITH THE SEMI-AUTOMATED INTSUM DEVELOPER, (2) USE OF DYNAMIC MESSAGE DATA FROM EXISTING TACTICAL DATA SYSTEMS, (3) MATCHING POTENTIAL TACTICS WITH THE FRIENDLY MISSION AND PERCEIVED SITUATION. THE SIGNIFICANCE OF A METHOD ...

DECISION SCIENCE CONSORTIUM, INC. (DSC) PROPOSES TO ENGAGE IN AN INNOVATIVE RESEARCH PROGRAM TO DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT AN ADVERSARIAL PLANNING SYSTEM THAT IS ABLE TO REASON ABOUT THE PERSISTENCE OVER TIME OF AN ADVERSARY'S BELIEF AND INTENTIONS. SPECIFICALLY, THIS SYSTEM WILL UTILIZE EITHER A NONMONOLITHIC SITUATIONAL OR TEMPORAL LOGIC TO DETERMINE THE EXTENT TO WHICH AN ADVERSARY'S PRESENT BELIEFS ...

PROPOSED IS A MEANS OF PRODUCING A GENERIC READOUT CIRCUIT FOR INFRARED FOCAL PLANE ARRAYS (IRFPAS) THAT MAY BE USED WITH ANY INFRARED (IR) DETECTOR, OF ANY SIZE AND ARRAY CONFIGURATION, BY ELIMINATION OF THE INDIUM BUMP BONDS USING A NON-CONTACT ELECTRICAL INTERCONNECT. THE CONCEPT IS THE SOLID STATE EQUIVALENT OF A VIDICOM TUBE USING ELECTRON BEAMS GENERATED BY VACUUM MICROELECTRONICS DEVICES (V ...

OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS, WE HAVE GROWN HIGH QUALITY CVD DIAMOND CRYSTALLITES AS CONFIRMED BY RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY, X-RAY DIFFRACTION, AND SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY ON A VARIETY OF SUBSTRATES INCLUDING SILICON USING A LOW TEMPERATURE (

THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO DEVELOP TECHNIQUES FOR PROTECTING GALLIUM ARSENIDE MONOLITHIC MICROWAVE INTEGRATED CIRCUITS FROM DAMAGE DUE TO THE RECEPTION OF ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSES ON THEINPUT SIGNAL LINES. PROTECTION DEVICES ARE TO BE BUILT ON TO THE MONOLITHIC CHIPS CONTAINING FRAGILE RECEIVER CIRCUITS. THE RESULTS OF DAMAGE MECHANISM STUDIES ON UNPROTECTED CIRCUITS WILL BE APPLIED TO THE DESIG ...

To meet dependability requirements dictated by current trends in both defense and commercial technologies, massive modular redundancy and application specific designs will have to give way to more efficient, scalable and cost-effective approaches. This Phase I proposal introduces a method which takes a basic architectural approach to fault-tolerant system design. The proposed research will addre ...

At present, the only fuel cell systems that have the capability of achieving high power den W cm-2) are the proton exchange membrane (PEM) and the alkaline fuel cell (AFC) systems. Of these, the PEM system is the leading candidate fuel cell power source for many military and commercial applications. In order to make PEM fuel cell power sources cost-competitive with competing technologies and more ...
