Dynamic Emulated System In Loop
SBC: Verisi Corporation Topic: MDA19T006The Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) is aptly described as a system of systems. Each subsystem within the BMDS is comprised of many custom-designed firmware and software elements. The designs can only be integrated together upon receipt of physical hardware (Circuit Card Assemblies). This delay introduces significant risk to the developer and procurer since system-level design issues may no ...

High Strain-Rate Characterization Methods for Carbon-Carbon Composites at Elevated Temperatures
SBC: MATERIALS RESEARCH & DESIGN INC Topic: MDA19T002Hypersonic Glide Vehicles (HGV) fly low and flat trajectories in an effort to evade current missile defense systems. Traditional interceptors are designed to have a 3-to-1 overmatch in regards to maneuverability, which may prove to be an unattainable design goal. Consequently, future interceptors will be armed with blast fragmentation warheads to increase probability of defeat. The effectiveness o ...
