ABSTRACT:This SBIR Phase II Project has as its objective to develop High-Fidelity Physics-Based (HFPB) Fast-Running Models (FRMs) for simulating the effects of small weapons in fixed urban targets constructed from reinforced concrete, masonry, and brick. The FRMs are intended for predicting breach characteristics such as hole volume and profile, the stochastic secondary debris generated by the bre ...

ABSTRACT: Redondo Optics Inc. (ROI) proposes to develop, ground and fly test, and deliver to the Air Force a low-cost next generation, aircraft ready, self-reference (T & P compensated) multi-point fiber optic oxygen sensor (FOxSense) network system for the real-time in-situ monitoring of the oxygen ullage environment for the closed-loop fuel tank inerting lightning protection warning system of t ...

ABSTRACT:The ultimate goal of this effort is to develop a distributed, intelligent, cooperative AFSCN mission planning and scheduling system (DICAMPSS) to implement an improved scheduling process and greater sharing and availability of information and knowledge.Such a distributed intelligent communications resource scheduling capability will provide better quality schedules; faster scheduling and ...

ABSTRACT:In this project, we are developing a semantic search system, ActiveSearch, which builds upon the extraction capabilities of natural language processing engines, and also allows additional ontological information to be used for search. ActiveSearch focuses on two key requirements. The first is that an analyst must be able to quickly and easily convey the types of information that should be ...

ABSTRACT: The proliferation of digital hardware and high performance amplifiers has resulted in a high degree of signal similarity among radar systems. As a consequence, modern electronic warfare systems are facing a signal characterization and specific emitter identification problem using traditional methods. Under Phase I, ISL identified a novel multidimensional feature that is generally indepe ...

A 24-month Phase II project is proposed to develop and implement models that capture the fidelity of high fidelity physics-based (HFPB) models in a fast-running format. It is anticipated that such models will be incorporated in certain modules of theModular Effectiveness/Vulnerability Assessment (MEVA) code developed for and currently used by the Air Force for assessing munitions effectiveness an ...

The objective of this SBIR project is to develop enhanced capabilities to evaluate solid rocket motors (SRMs) using x-ray computed tomography (CT) inspection. In Phase I, approaches were defined for developing technology to improve CT inspectioncapabilities. In Phase II, the technology will be developed and incorporated in practical tools to be delivered to OO-ALC at Hill AFB, where Air Force mi ...

The intent of this Phase I effort was to examine the feasibility of using C-C composite for possible tribological applications in Space. In the Phase I effort, selected C-C composite materials were modified and tested for both high-speed bearing cage andslip ring/ brush applications under simulated space environments. 2D C-C cage materials were modified to reduce its pore size for lubricant retent ...

Phase II designs, develops, and delivers Intelligent Collision Detection and Warning System to the U.S. Air Force. The proposed Phase II project is an extension of the Phase I project ¿¿Low Cost Autonomous GPS Based Collision Avoidance System¿¿, and acontinuation of AGNC's efforts in the development of advanced avionics systems and technologies for military and commercial applications. Each ai ...

The problem addressed is through-life non-destructive monitoring of adhesivelybonded structures. The concept presented is to produce a
