POSTINCORPORATION DYE LABELING FOR DNA SEQUENCING

Not Available The Navy has a requirement to acquire and maintain situational awareness to facilitate potential actions in a littoral environment. Technology Service Corporation (TSC)and Radar Imaging Resources(RIR), in cooperation with NASA Langley Reserch Center (LaRC), will demonstrate that using GPS satellite signals as the illuminator for a bistatic radar system, will enable surveillance of the littoral environment. Since 1996, NASA LaRC has been crrrying out experiments using enhanced receivers to obtain GPS bistatic datra on sea conditions. These data contain evidence that ship targets are detectable using this bistatic technuque. During Phase I, TSC/RIR will work with NASA LaRC to collect and analyze data addressing the Navy littoral scenario. This activity will lead to a set of radar and platform requirements. TSC/RIR will define operational systems and a Proof-of-Concept radar system for Phase II development and test. The highly developed GPS receiver technology wil result in a low cost, very small package GPS Bistatic Radar receiver that can be mounted on a low observable UAV for covert surveillande in a littoral environment. The Phase I effort will also investigate the potential use of satellite receivers to obtain wide area surveillance over the open ocean.
