J. INFORMATION SECURITY: Technologies associated with cryptography and cryptographic systems to ensure secrecy for communications, video, data and related software.
K. LASER AND DIRECTED ENERGY SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGY: Lasers have critical military applications, including incorporation in guided ordinance such as laser guided bombs and ranging devices. Directed energy technologies are used to generate electromagnetic radiation or particle beams and to project that energy on a specific target.Kinetic energy technologies are those used to impart a high velocity to a mass and direct it to a target. Directed energy and kinetic energy technologies have potential utility in countering missiles and other applications.Look for technologies associated with:
-- Atomic Vapor Laser Isotope Separation (AVLIS)
-- Molecular Laser Isotope Separation (MLIS)
-- High Energy Lasers (HEL) (i.e., laser welders)
-- Low Energy Lasers (LEL)
-- Semiconductor lasers
-- Free electron lasers
-- Directed Energy (DE) systems
-- Kinetic Energy (KE) systems
-- Particle beam, beam rider, electromagnetic guns,Optoelectronics/electro-oPtics (Europe)
-- Optical tracking (i.e., target designators)
-- High energy density
-- High-speed pulse generation, pulsed power
-- Hypersonic and/or hypervelocity
-- Magnetohydrodynamics
L. SENSORS AND SENSOR TECHNOLOGY: Sensors provide real-time information and data, and could provide a significant military advantage in a conflict. Marine acoustics is critical in anti-submarine warfare; gravity meters are
essential for missile launch calibration. Look for technologies associated with:
-- Marine acoustics
-- Optical sensors
-- Night vision devices, image intensification devices
-- Gravity meters
-- High speed photographic equipment
-- Magnetometers
M. MARINE TECHNOLOGY: Marine technologies are often associated with submarines and other deep submersible vessels; propulsion systems designed for undersea use and navigation and quieting systems are associated with
reducing detectability and enhancing operations survivability. Look for technologies connected with:
-- Submarines and submersibles
-- Undersea robots
-- Marine propulsion systems
-- Signature recognition
-- Acoustic and non-acoustic detection
-- Acoustic, wake, radar and magnetic signature reduction
-- Magnetohydrodynamics
-- Stirling engines and other air independent propulsion systems
N. ROBOTICS: Technologies associated with:
-- Artificial intelligence
-- Automation
-- Computer-controlled machine tools
-- Pattern recognition technologies.
O. URBAN PLANNING: Expertise in construction or design of systems or technologies necessary to sustain modern urban societies. (PLEASE NOTE: Urban Planning may not fall under the purview of INA section 212 (a)(3)(a), U.S. technology transfer laws, or any other U.S. law or regulation.However, Urban Planning is a special interest item and posts are requested to refer such visa application requests to CA/VO/L/C for further review.) Look for
technologies/skills associated with:
