THE TECHNICAL OBJECTIVES OF THIS PROGRAM ARE TO ESTABLISH THE SYNTHESIS AND CRYSTAL GROWTH PARAMETERS REQUIRED TO PRODUCE TMAL3(BO3)4. THE CRYSTALS WILL THEN BE EVALUATED IN TERMS OF STANDARD SPECTROSCOPIC MEASUREMENTS FOR LASER APPLICATIONS. IN PARTICULAR, LINE WIDTHS, LINE STRENGTHS AND FLUORESCENCE LIFETIMES. PRELIMINARY LASING BY PUMPED LASER SOURCES WILL BE EVALUATED. ANTICIPATED BENEFITS/POT ...

THE PROPOSED PROJECT IS TO DEVELOP A DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM WHICH WILL ESTIMATE THE PROBABLE TACTICS AND INTENTIONS OF AN ADVERSARY SURFACE, AIRBORNE, OR SUBMARINE TARGET. THIS SYSTEM WILL CONSIST OF ROUTINES TO (1) ACCESS A DATABASE OF POTENTIAL ENEMY TACTICS AND INTENTIONS, (2) CREATE THESE TACTICS AND INTENTIONS ENTRIES BY SOPHISTICATED AUTOMATED AND MANUAL METHODS, AND (3) ESTIMATE THE PRO ...

THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROPOSAL IS TO IMPROVE AN EXISTING MONTE CARLO TRACKER THAT FUSES POSITIVE NONACOUSTIC DATA AND POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE ACOUSTIC DATA, YIELDING PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTIONS FOR THE TARGET LOCATION AND VELOCITY. FIVE IMPROVEMENTS ARE PROPOSED: 1. INCORPORATE POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE INFORMATION FROM TOWED ARAYS, 2. INCORPORATE DOPPLER INFORMATION INTO THE VELOCITY ESTIMATES, 3. ACCOUN ...

A VARIETY OF OBJECTS ARE TRACKED ON ARMY TEST RANGES, INCLUDING: SLOW-MOVING GROUND VEHICLES, HIGH PERFORMANCE AIRCRAFT, MISSILES, CANNON BULLETS, ORBITAL VEHICLES AND AIRBORNE DEBRIS. VIDEO AND RADAR SENSOR SYSTEMS SUPPORT TRACKING. ACCURATE, REAL TIME TRACKING IS CRITICAL IN SUPPORTING RANGE SAFETY CALCULATIONS AND PERFORMANCE EVALUATION. CURRENTLY OBJECTS ARE TRACKED USING POLYNOMIAL FILTERS (E ...
