Cooperative Research and Development Agreement for Proximity 
Sensor Technology

AGENCY: U.S. Army, DoD.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the United States Army Tank-
automotive and Armaments Command, Armament Research, Development and 
Engineering Center (TACOM-ARDEC) has entered into a Cooperative 
Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with KDI Precision Products, 
Inc. to explore the feasibility of adapting Army proximity sensor 
technology for potential use in proximity sensor applications for other 
military munition items and non-military applications. The goal of this 
collaborative effort is to provide a variety of proximity sensor users 
(e.g. military munitions, intelligent highway collision-avoidance 
sensors, proximity sensors used in machine control and robotics 
applications) with a low cost and reliable proximity sensor alternative 
to current technology. Any others wishing to pursue the possibility of 
a CRADA for similar activities should contact TACOM-ARDEC at the 
address below.

ADDRESSES: U.S. Army TACOM-ARDEC, ATTN: AMSTA-AR-ASC Picatinny Arsenal, 
N.J. 07806-5000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Mr. Tim Ryan, General Engineer, telephone, [phone] or fax, (201)
