This is a AIR FORCE INST OF TECH WRIGHT-PATTERSONAFB OH SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A795083. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: Two deformable mirrors (DMs) with finite conjugate ranges are investigated for compensating amplitude and phase distortions due to laser propagation through turbulent atmospheres. Simulations are performed based on Adaptive Optics (AO) for an Airborne Laser-type scenario. The Strehl ratio, the number of branch points in DM controls, and the number of iterations to convergence are used as figures of merit to evaluate performance of the Sequential Generalized Projection Algorithm that generates mirror commands. The results are ensemble averages over 32 realizations of the scintillated test fields for each value of the Rytov parameter within the test scenario. The Gaussian beam shape that optimizes the Strehl ratio is determined. The least squares two-DM Strehl, phase-only Strehl, least squares phase-only Strehl, and uncompensated Strehl are also determined for comparison. Finally, for the Strehl ratio versus Rytov parameter analysis the Strehl is also calculated beyond the telescope by propagating the pre-compensated laser wavefront back through the phase screens of the modeled atmosphere. Results from the more critical beyond- telescope Strehl analysis indicate that a two-DM AO system provides an increase in performance of approximately 0.1 in Strehl as compared to the phase-only system for the most severe simulated turbulence (theoretical log-amlitude variance of 1.0).

This is a NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL MONTEREY CA report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A527424. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: To defend American agriculture against foreign or domestic terrorism, it is essential that states build multi-state partnerships to provide for the collaborative plans, programs and operations needed to protect the nation's food security. The National Homeland Security Strategy puts states on the front lines in the war against terrorism including the struggle to secure the agriculture industry from potentially devastating attack. The issues surrounding agro- terrorism are vast and complex and the resources of the Federal government to address these issues are limited and overextended. If states attempt to address this threat independently, important opportunities to reduce vulnerability and enhance capability will be lost. To achieve the capabilities needed for agro- terrorism, detection, mitigation, preparedness and response, states must collaborate to build the partnerships and programs their citizens require..
