"The use of 3D, micromachined high resistivity silicon to fabricate high frequency RF circuits which are self packaged and hermetic has been successfully demonstrated. To incorporate optical components in the hermetic silicon package an equivalent opticalexit port from the hermetic package needs to be developed. We propose the demonstration of a compact, low cost, hermetic optical port using micr ...

"Dismounted Infantry training systems which make use of Distributed Simulation networks in Virtual Environments (VE) enable After Action Review of exercises such that "what" happened during an exercise can be reviewed by the trainees. The ability todetermine "why" events happened and "how to improve" team and team leader performance can only be understood if more abstract, derived data representin ...

"The primary objective of this proposal is to identify critical data mining and analytical tools and emerging technologies and methodologies that can be used to improve the entire military medical logistics/supply chain management. In addition, as part ofthis research and analysis, Premise Development Corporation will demonstrate the feasibility of creating modern and user-friendly "dashboards" ...

"Planing hull craft pose unique safety challenges. The Mark V Special Operations Craft, for instance, carries Special Operations Forces in littoral waters and travels at very high speeds. Failure to adequately negotiate wave conditions may result ininjury to the crew and damage to the craft. The requisite seakeeping skills, however, are difficult to master. What is needed is a comprehensive ins ...

"Military field feeding operations require an easily transportable and energy-efficient system to recycle the greywater produced in ware washing. A multiple-effect evaporator is proposed that will distill the greywater, heated by a diesel/JP-8 powered oilburner or other available liquid/vapor heating medium. It is designed to recover at least 90% of the greywater as potable hot water or steam to ...

"Helicopters of the United States Special Operations Command perform missions that require flight at extremely low altitudes and high speeds in order to avoid detection. Currently MH-60K and MH-47E aircraft use a multi mode radar (MMR) to navigate andavoid ground hazards. Such active systems are detectable by passive observers. Helicopters can avoid the use of active systems through the use of ...

"The Army is in the process of transforming itself from the Legacy Force of today to the Objective Force of the future. The Objective Force will have a new organization, new training techniques, new combat systems, and new ways of conducting warfare.Therefore new selection criteria and procedures will be required to identify recruits who can succeed in the Army of the future. In Phase I we will ...

"Increasingly sophisticated models and simulations developed by DoD to support a range of analysis and training functions have triggered a strong demand for realistic representation of the key human decision makers that populate the battlespace. Developingadaptive and robust human behavior representations (HBRs) has not been a trivial exercise, however, especially given the dependence of most sta ...

"Federal Fabrics-Fibers (FFF) proposes a double walled shelter with a moisture permeable inner layer and a vented outer shell. The differential temperature between the inside and the outside will create a natural convection driven air flow between the twolayers. This air flow will be used to carry away evaporating moisture from the inner shelter skin. Un-coated fabric woven from fibers with known ...

"The technical objective in Phase I is to review and identify potential statistical approaches for obtaining probabilistic concentration and exposure threshold values for screening contaminants of military interest (military unique compounds, or MUCs) basedon existing laboratory-based toxicity and bioaccumulation data. The goal is to develop validated statistical approaches to determine the uncer ...
