DDL OMNI Engineering proposes to design a secure system for the continuous, real time acoustic measurement of towed array position relative to the host submarine. By using focused transmit and receive assemblies, pseudo- random spread broadband signals, and relatively high carrier frequency, the transmission level will be minimized so as to be virtually undetectable by a non-dedicated system ...

Older Americans represent a massive consumer market that is just beginning to be served effectively. The Mature Market Profiler offers an innovative and integrated information system that enables businesses and service providers to better target and deliver their products and services to this fast growing and diverse segment of the population. The system uses a specially-designed survey that exp ...

The Reconfigurable Operator Station Simulator (ROSS) project will provide designers of operator stations for Uninhabited Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) with a rapid prototyping system. In addition, the architecture on which ROSS is based provides a platform on which to build tools that increase the ability of operators to control UAVs and to impart a far greater understanding of the situation to them. T ...

A progressive system development is proposed which uses Bayesian methodology for combined detect, track, localize, and classify. The core paradigm focuses on detection followed by various estimation schemes to extract information on contact type, track, and location from the detector. A rapid prototype development using the Generic Multipurpose Processor (GMP) will provide optimal detection ...

The sensor processing requirements needed to counter today's threats pose a major challenge to the air avionics sensor operator (SENSO) due both to the complexity of the sensors and task load increases. Today's SENSO has limited opportunity for realistic anti-submarine warfare (ASW) practice and experience. In environments where experienced mentors are available, new operators are assisted ...

The Air Force has identified the need to develop affordable flight control technology to support Air Force Global Engagement objectives. Of particular interest to the Air Force is the development of real-time optimization algorithms for cooperative engagement solutions among Uninhabited Air Vehicles (UAV) in a multiple target environment. DSR proposes developing a real-time, rule based, Cooperat ...
