A digital bit-serial VLSI chip for accumulating neural activations of a population of neurons that form a linear receptive field is discussed. This type of VLSI circuit is complementary to the best-match classifiers described in the literature. The circuit is called a brute force detector (BFD). The authors have designed and fabricated a prototype BFD neuron cascade through MOSIS in a 3-μm p-well CMOS process (M83M run). The results indicate that a wafer-scale, restructurable version of a detector could be constructed that could implement on the order of 10 5 receptive fields. A receiver using a cascade of such wafers would be of great practical value for radar and sonar applications as well as useful for the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI)

Acoustic speech recognition degrades in the presence of noise. Compensatory information is available from the visual speech signals around the speaker's mouth. Previous attempts at using these visual speech signals to improve automatic speech recognition systems have combined the acoustic and visual speech information at a symbolic level using heuristic rules. In this paper, we demonstrate an alternative approach to fusing the visual and acoustic speech information by training feedforward neural networks to map the visual signal onto the corresponding short-term spectral amplitude envelope (STSAE) of the acoustic signal. This information can be directly combined with the degraded acoustic STSAE. Significant improvements are demonstrated in vowel recognition from noise-degraded acoustic signals. These results are compared to the performance of humans, as well as other pattern matching and estimation algorithms.

This paper documents an experiment performed by The Johns Hopkins University appliedphysics Laboratory to measure the effect of inserting a data bus into a combat system. The experiment was conducted at the Aegis computer Center located at the Naval Surface Weapons Center in Dahlgren, Virginia (NSWC/DL). The purpose of the experiment was to determine whether or not the Aegis Weapon System (the core of the Aegis Combat System) could be operated with a portion of its point-to-point interelement cables replaced by a data bus. The data bus chosen for the experiment employs message broadcasting with receiver selection. A primary goal of the experiment was to minimize the amount of Aegis computerprogram changes required to accommodate the data bus. The results presented in this paper will show that the experiment was a success. Key certification tests were passed with no computerprogram changes to the tactical elements and minimal changes in the Aegis tactical executive (ATES) program (less than 110 words changed).

JCS Pub 1 defines interoperability as “The ability of systems, units or forces to provide services to and accept services from other systems, units or forces and to use the services so exchanged to enable them to operate effectively together.” With JCS Pub 1 as a foundation, interoperability of systems, units or forces can be factored into a set of components that can quantify interoperability. These components are: media, languages, standards, requirements, environment, procedures, and human factors. The concept described in this paper uses these components as an analysis tool to enable specific detailed analyses of the interoperability of BFC3 systems, units, or forces for the purpose of uncovering and resolving interoperability issues and problems in the U.S. Navy, Joint, and Allied arenas. Also, as a management tool, the components can help determine potential interoperability characteristics of future U.S. Navy BFC3 systems for compliance with battle force systems architectures. The approach selected for the quantification of interoperability was the development of a set of measures of performance (MOPs) and measures of effectiveness (MOEs). The MOPs/MOEs were integrated with a candidate set of components, which were used to partition the totality of interoperability into measurable entities. The methodology described employs basic truth table theory in conjunction with logic equations to evaluate the interoperability components in terms of MOPs that were aggregated to MOEs. It is believed that this concept, although elementary and based on fundamental principles, represents an operationally significant approach rather than a theoretical approach to the quantification of interoperability. The vehicle used as a means to measure the MOPs and MOEs was the Research Evaluation and Systems Analysis (RESA) computer modeling and simulation capability at the Naval Ocean Systems Center (NOSC), San Diego, Calif. Data for the measurements were collected during a Tactical I

This paper considers the optimal and sub-optimal integration of radar Doppler and position measurements to track a maneuvering target The optimal integration scheme for position and Doppler measurements within one algorithm is the Kalman Filter. It is shown that the four steady state tracking parameters are dependent only on the Tracking Index, Ʌ (the ratio of the target maneuver to the position measurement noise), and Sensor Noise Ratio, S. The proposed sub-optimal integration process considers the independent operations of an α-β Filter for the position measurements and α-β Filter for the Doppler measurements. The output of the filters are linearly combined to form a target track. An example is presented to show the performance of the α-β tracker; the α-β and β trackers with the linear combiner; and the two-sensor Kalman Filter

In ocean acoustic tomography, maximal length binary shift- register sequences, m-sequences, are used to modulate acoustic carriers to achieve high average power and good time and Doppler resolution. To date, the underwater transmitters and receivers have been in fixed positions, and signal processing has consisted of demodulation followed by factor inverse filtering. Ocean tomography now is being extended to include the use of moving, ship-towed, transmitters and receivers, where signal processing must account for Doppler time and frequency resealing. This paper describes the signal demodulation and processing methods developed for moving ship tomography and presents illustrative results.
