| Interest in realistic simulation of the space environment as applied to the study of contamination and thruster plumes has led to the development of the CHAFF-4 facility. A multi-fin cryogenically cooled array (approx. 20K) completely envelops the interior of the CHAFF-4 chamber, providing an available condensing surface area of 590 m2. It is anticipated that the equivalent altitudes that can be simulated for various electric propulsion systems vary between 150-350 ... |

| Advanced missiles employ multiple actuators to enhance maneuverability and to improve the intercept probability against highly maneuverable targets. Actuators employed in such missiles include aerodynamic control surfaces and reaction jets. While the usage of aerodynamic surfaces are not generally constrained, reaction jet usage has to be minimized due to the limited amount of fuel available on-board. A blending logic is employed to optimally allocate the actuators in response to commands ... |

| To test the performance of an algorithm for an inverse problem for cases similar to those under which experimental data is used, random noise can be added to given simulated data. The most common way to do this is to use white noise generated by a uniformly or normally distributed random sequence. Another possibility is to use noise given by the so-called Rice Representation of random noise. We compare results ... |

| Traditionally, DOD'S combat aircraft have used on-board electronic warfare devices called jammers for self-protection against radar-controlled weapons, including missiles and anti-aircraft artillery. These jammers emit electronic signals from the aircraft to try to impede or deny the threat radar's ability to locate the aircraft. DOD'S existing self-protection jamming systems for its tactical aircraft have limitations against certain threats, and these threats are expected to be improved. DOD has modified existing ... |
