A dynamic Environment driven by real-world data is a crucial element in Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS). The synthetic Environments Program's Dynamic Terrain and Objects (DTO) project has developed an architecture for including a dynamic environment in distributed simulations. However, to date, heterogeneous applications have not been to interoperate. In addition, the long-term success ...

A one watt 94 GHz power amplifier with >2 GHz bandwidth will be designed, and an operational brassboard model fabricated. The approach is based upon power combining of four single-diode silicon IMPATT amplifier modules using magic-tees. The brassboard model will serve as a developmental unit during Phase II in which a product development effort will lead to a production version. Also on Phase I ...

A PROTOTYPE OF ESM/ELINT RECEIVER SYSTEM UTILIZING ACOUSTIC CHARGE TRANSPORT (ACT) TECHNOLOGY IN AN ADAPTIVE CHANNELIZER IS PROPOSED. THE TYPES OF ACT TECHNOLOGY TO BE EXPLOITED IN THIS DEVELOPMENT ARE TUNABLE FILTERS WITH PROGRAMMABLE BANDWIDTHS AND ADJUSTABLE DELAY LINES FOR DELAY LINE DISCRIMINATORS. A VERY LONG DELAY USING ACT TECHNOLOGY WILL ALSO BE INVESTIGATED. THIS ADAPTIVE RECEIVER BUILDS ...

Mountain Wave, Inc. proposes to investigate the development of an automated network security management product that would allow personnel within an Information Technology (IT) organization to combine information from heterogeneous sources into an integrated application that captures business processes and automates tasks to "prevent" potential security violations. This product will: be "extensib ...

The rapid expansion in the use of microwave communications has created a need for dramatically improved microwave devices. Frequency filters are a key component in the wireless communication and military systems. Currently available filters are discrete bulky components. In this program NZ Applied Technologies in collaboration with Las Alamos National Laboratory proposes to develop novel tunab ...

For this Phase I effort, Observera proposes to develop an attribute based system for automated image quality assessment of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Imagery. Observera's expertise in SAR image analysis, image quality assessment and digital image processing algorithms are uniquely suited to this program. The imagery community uses the Radar National Imagery Interpretation Rating System (RNII ...

The development of a high-speed, very accurate XY stage for semiconductor lithography is proposed. Key features are: a grid-based metrology system which is immune to turbulence and has subnanometer resolution; a high-speed, light-weight XY stage capable of supporting 12" wafers, and including active control of all six degrees of freedom; and dual-loop servo systems for X and Y to provide fast lon ...
