This project involves formulation of high performance adhesives which cure rapidly at ambient temperature or slightly elevated temperatures such as can be provided with a heat gun. emphasis will be placed on high performance systems including rubber modified systems and prepreg systems which can be… More

Technical criteria for the design and evaluation testing of eletrical connectors and wiring will be developed with the objective of improving mtbf and reducing manpower associated wiring. a portion of this work will include analysis of th extent and solutions for intermittent "cannot duplicate… More

The development of a new generation of durable, easy to use power connectors for battlefield use is proposed. the design of this product will take advantage of the development of high performance reinforced polymers to provide non denting, and non corroding, housings. retention mechanisms which are… More

Currently a primary drawback of fiber optic systems for military use is the difficulty of repairing and servicing these systems. the objective of this project will be to develop techniques for rapid, reliable field repair of fiber optic connectors and cables, to put maintenance of these systems on… More

The present potting material in use on image intensifier tubes, rtv-11 allows moisture penetration to the surface of the tube allowing excessive leakage during high humidity conditions. a two stage approach is proposed involving the application of a high resistance, hydrophobic coating to the… More
