MATSYS proposes to develop reactive materials compositions and processing techniques for structural reactive composites for blast enhancement. This effort will combine our unique expertise in instrumented-Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) with new approaches in reactive materials design to develop a new generation of cost-efficient and highly reactive materials. The proposed material system will use a ...

Using distributed interactive simulation (DIS) to conduct effective training, analyses, or mission support in a tactical nuclear weapons effects (NWE) environment requires realistic computer generated forces (CGF) that are sensitive to such effects. This level of sensitivity requires CGF to apply valid and reliable speed-accuracy measures of environmental effects on human performance within the D ...

BOTH CURRENT (INF) AND PROPOSED (SALT) ARMS CONTROL TREATIES WILL REQUIRE MEANS OF VERIFICATION AND COUNTING OF MISSILES. CURRENT PROVISIONS PRECLUDE LOOKING INSIDE VEHICLES AND UNDER COVERS. ONE METHOD OF VISUALIZING CONTENTS WILL BE BY X-RAY, HOWEVER, CURRENT X-RAY FILMS ARE LIGHT-SENSITIVE AND REQUIRE CHEMICAL PROCESSING AND BECAUSE OF THIS, MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR DIFFICULT ENVIRONMENTS IN THE ...

DEEP BASING FACILITIES REQUIRE THAT STRUCTURES BE PROTECTED AGAINST BLAST EFFECTS. INHERENT IN THIS NEED IS FOR THE TUNNEL SUPPORT SYSTEM TO BE ECONOMICALLY INSTALLED AND CAPABLE OF WITHSTANDING OVERSTRESSES WHICH MAY REACH OR EXCEED 1 KILOBAR. IN ORDER TO MORE EFFICIENTLY HARDEN A STRUCTURE, THE SUPPORT SYSTEM SHOULD BE MADE MORE DUCTILE SO THAT IT CAN UNDERGO DEFORMATION WHILE RETAINING ITS ABIL ...
