A NEW GENERATION OF ENGINEERING AND MANUFACTURING AUTOMATION DESIGNTOOLS ARE NOW EMERGING AS A RESULT OF THE PIONEERING WORK THAT HAS BEEN DONE IN OBJECTORIENTED PROGRAMMING TECHNOLOGY. UNLIKE CONVENTIONAL PROCEDURAL LANGUAGE APPROACHES, THE OBJECT-ORIENTED PROGRAMMING APPROACH ALLOWS DATA STRUCTURES AND PROCEDURES TO BE DEFINED FOR GENERIC CLASSES OF OBJECTS. SYSTEM PERFORMANCE, RNA, AND COST DAT ...

TAC PROPOSES TO STUDY THE FEASIBILITY OF DETECTION AND LOCALIZING OIL DRUM SIZE OBJECTS ON/IN THE BOTTOM OF SURF ZONES. THE APPROACH IS TO ANALYZE THE PERFORMANCE PROBABILITIES AND DESIGN FEASIBILITY OF LOW FREQUENCY (20 TO 500 HZ) ACTIVE ELECTROMAGNETIC DESIGNS IN A TOWABLE, SUBMERGED HYDROFOIL CONFIGURATION. DETECTION SYSTEMS WOULD BE SUPPLEMENTED FOR LOCALIZATION BY EITHER NAVIGATIONAL FIX METH ...

THIS TASK WILL IDENTIFY THE ISSUES CONCERNING COMBAT SYSTEM TRAINING REQUIREMENTS. IN ADDITION TO FUNCTIONAL NEEDS, THE ISSUES OF EASE OF SYSTEM UPGRADES AND RAPID PROTOTYPING WILL BE ADDRESSED. INITIAL INPUT DATA WILL BE OBTAINED FROM NAVAL TRAINING PLANS, AND EXISTING TRAINING DEVICE CAPABILITIES. THIS WILL IDENTIFY THE LEVELS OF REQUIRED TRAINING AND THE SKILLS THAT MUST BE TAUGHT. A WORKSTATIO ...

FEASIBILITY STUDY TO DETERMINE THE POTENTIAL OF UTILIZATION OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS, CELLULAR PHONE AND ELECTRONIC TRANSFER TECHNOLOGIES TO SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE AND IN SOME CASES ELIMINATE THE SHRINKAGE OF COLLECTED TRANSIT REVENUE THROUGH EMPLOYEE MIS-HANDLING, EMPLOYEE FRAUD, EMPLOYEE THEFT. THIS STUDY WILL FOCUS ON THE FEASIBILITY OF IMPLEMENTING T THE ELECTRONIC/MICRO PROCESSOR BASED COLLECTION ...

CURRENT SUBMARINE COMBAT SYSTEM ARCHITECTURES REFLECT A WEAK LINKAGE FROM OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS TO IMPLEMENTATION. ARCHITECTURES RANGE FROM THOSE WITH LARGE CENTRAL COMPUTERS TO THOSE WITH CLUSTERED DISTRIBUTED PROCESSORS. SINGLE POINTS OF FAILURE, DATA BOTTLENECKS, AND PROCESSOR CONFLICTS RESULT FROM ARCHITECTURES THAT DO NOT HAVE OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS AS THEIR BASIS. THE EFFORT PROPOSED US ...

TACTICAL PERFORMANCE, RELIABILITY, AND COST ARE COMPLIMENTARY FACTORS IN SYSTEM DESIGN BUT THERE IS NO ONE TOOL TO EFFECTIVELY COMPARE ATTRIBUTES IN THESE DISPARATE DISCIPLINES. THERE ARE COMPUTER PROGRAMS TO ESTIMATE SYSTEM PERFORMANCE AGAINST THE THREAT, COMPUTER MODELS TO PREDICT RELIABILITY IN A GIVEN ENVIRONMENT, AND COST MODELS TO ESTIMATE BOTH ACQUISITION AND OPERATIONS OVER TH6 LIFE OF A S ...

RELIABLE AND CONTINUOUS POWER TO SUBMARINE ELECTRONICS IS ESSENTIALFOR MISSION EXECUTION AND FOR THE SAFE OPERATION OF THE SHIP. DIGITAL ELECTRONICS CANNOT CONTINUE OPERATION THROUGH EVEN VERY SHORT POWER OUTAGES CAUSE BY BUS TRANSFER DEVICES, THAT HAVE HISTORICALLY BEEN SUFFICIENT FOR ANALOG COMBAT SYSTEMS. THE RESTART AND RELOAD THAT A DIGITAL SYSTEM MUST EXECUTE AFTER A SHORT POWER INTERRUPTION ...

IMI-TECH CORPORATION PROPOSES TO DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF MEETING THE NAVY'S NEED FOR A POURED-IN-PLACE, LIGHTWEIGHT FLOTATION FOAM THAT WILL NOT SUSTAIN COMBUSTION, DOES NOT RELEASE HAZARDOUS AMOUNTS OF TOXIC GASES WHEN EXPOSED TO FLAMES, AND HAS LOW WATER ABSORPTION. THE TECHNOLOGY TO MEET THIS REQUIREMENT, WITHOUT THE USE OF TOXIC GAS-PRODUCING FLAME RETARDANTS, EXISTS AT IMI-TECH TODAY. TH ...

IN MODERN NAVAL COMBAT, LONG RANGE MISSILES CAN STRIKE FROM ANY DIRECTION AT ANY TIME. PERSONNEL INVOLVED IN THE WEAPONS CONTROL PROCESS HAVE APPROXIMATELY 30-60 SECONDS AFTER AN INCOMING MISSILE IS DETECTED TO REACH A DECISION ON HOW TO DEAL WITH THE INCOMING AIR THREAT.ICONS ARE ONE TYPE OF DECISION AID WHICH CAN HELP PERSONNEL INVOLVEDIN THE WEAPON CONTROL PROCESS REACT TO AND PROCESS INFORMATI ...
