This effort builds on initial feasiblity analysis and measurements taken to support concealed weapon detection. DSA proposes a nine month program consisting of two (2) items. Item 1 (6 months - 5 tasks) conducts CWD analysis, measurements, evaluation, system design and ends with the delivery of a draft Final Technical Report (Task 5). Item 2 (3 months - 1 task #6) refines and elabor ...

Simulation-based optimization techniques that enlist reinforcement learning controllers are ideally suited for complex and multi-objective optimization problems that cannot be solved easily using traditional techniques, especially when the stochastic natures or the environment, resources, and external interactive entities are taken into account. Reinforcement learning based on incremental value i ...

Future USAF vehicles (missiles/fighter aircrafts) will have to operate under high altitude flight conditions in order to reach global targets and/or to meet unforeseen threats to the security of USA. A new accurate engineering code is needed to determine quickly the aerothermal characteristics of the vehicle and optimizeits shape, trajectory, and/or performance. The maneuvering vehicle will have ...

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 ...
