| Incorporating the Navy s Advanced Propagation Model (APM) into JSAF would greatly improve the EM range prediction accuracy, particularly for situations with strong refractive effects such as commonly occur in the Mideast and other locations. Many, but not all of the various physical effects on EM transmissions are already included in the APM model and therefore would not require development by NWDC. Because APM is the official OAML EM propagation ... |

| Emitter location finding enables important functionality for both military and civilian applications. GPS is the most recognized and widely used positioning system, but it is a receiver location system that functions in a markedly different manner from emitter location. Many geo-location techniques predate and have been proposed as an alternative to GPS. Some of the more commonly used and exploited of these techniques are angle of arrival, time of arrival, ... |

| Increasingly in recent times, aircraft are built with communications links to external participants. These communications links may in some cases be susceptible to degradation or attack, which may then lead to safety of flight or mission effectiveness risks. This project examines risk assessment of the information assurance and security of newly developed airborne systems. First, an investigation of the past failures of the security of other networked systems is examined ... |

The blast caused a large imbalance of electrons in the upper atmosphere that interacted with the Earth's magnetic field to create oscillating electric fields over a large area of the Pacific. These fields were strong enough to damage electronics in Hawaii, a thousand miles away, and clearly demonstrated the effects of an electromagnetic pulse ... |

| Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technology has progressed considerably over the past twenty years. UAVs originally served only in Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) roles, but now routinely conduct strikes in support of commanders' objectives. As UAVs are further integrated into the nation's Joint Air capabilities, many proponents assert that they will soon replace the full spectrum of manned platforms. This would include service in roles such as Air-to-Air superiority, Air-to-Ground ... |
