SHIPS HAVE LONG BEEN DESIGNED TO EMPIRICAL FORMULATE THAT DO NOT REPRESENT REALISTIC CONDITIONS FOR MODERN NAVAL VESSELS IN EXTREME SEA CONDITIONS. AS A CONSEQUENCE, SHIPS FREQUENTLY SUFFER EXPENSIVE DAMAGE IN HEAVY SEAS. THE OBJECTIVE OF THE PROPOSED RESEARCH IS TO ATTEMPT TO IDENTIFY SPECIFIC EXAMPLES OF EXTREME WAVES OF THE TYPE THAT HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO CAUSE SPECIFIC TYPES OF DAMAGE. AS FAR AS ...

RECENT WORK PERFORMED AT NSWC, WHITE OAK, MD HAS SHOWN THAT CONVENTIONAL LAUE X-RAY TRANSMISSION PATTERNS OBTAINED BY FILM METHODS GIVE AN INDICATION OF GROWN-IN MICROSTRUCTURAL DEFORMATION OF HOLSTEN CLASS D RDX ENERGETIC MATERIALS. THE OBJECT OF THIS STUDY IS TO DETERMINE IF X-RAY LAUE PATTERNS FROM RDX AND/OR HMX ILLUSTRATING SEVERE MICROSTRUCTURAL DEFORMATION ALSO CORRESPOND TO POOR PERFORMANC ...

THE PROPOSED RESEARCH WORK IS A RESPONSE TO THE NATIONAL DEFENSE EFFORT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TO ULTIMATELY MANUFACTURE A LOW COST, RELIABLE AND EFFECTIVE TURNABLE FREQUENCY FAR INFRARED (IR) DETECTOR THAT CAN BE PLACED UPON BOTH OUR OFFENSIVE AND DEFENSIVE WEAPONS SYSTEMS. THE MATERIAL THAT WILL BE INVESTIGATED IS THE "SEMIMAGNETIC" SEMICONDUCTOR HG 1-X MN X TE, A SISTER COMPOUND TO HG ...

AN AUTOMATED DECISION AID, USEABLE ON A MINICOMPUTER WILL BE DEVELOPED TO ANALYZE PROJECT COST, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT QUANTITIES, DELIVERY SCHEDULES, AND OTHER PROGRAMMATIC AND ECONOMIC VARIABLES. THE PROTOTYPE MODEL DEVELOPED IN PHASE I WILL INCLUDE A PROTOTYPE DATA BASE WHICH THE MODEL CAN MAIPULATE TO OBTAIN SUBSYSTEM COST INPUTS. THE MAJOR OBJECTIVES IN PHASE I ARE TO DEMONSTRATE THE TECHNICAL F ...

COSITE CONFIGURATIONS SUCH AS A BEACHHEAD OR COMMAND POST CAN BE QUITE VARIABLE IN EQUIPMENT COMPLEMENT, EQUIPMENT LOCATION, FREQUENCY AVAILABILITY, ETC. THE CONFIGURATION CAN ALSO CHANGE WITH TIME. BECAUSE OF THIS VARIABILITY IT IS DESIRABLE TO PROVIDE THE CAPABILITY TO PREDICT THE LEVEL OF INTERFERENCE. THIS PREDICTION CAPABILITY WOULD SIGNIFICANTLY AUGMENT THE COMMUNICATORS ABILITY TO BETTER MA ...

THERE IS A REQUIREMENT TO PRODUCE A PLAN TO DETERMINE THE PRODUCT IMPROVEMENT TO THE MIFASS/TCO SYSTEM, AND TO ESTABLISH A CHRONOLOGICAL IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR DEVELOPING AND INTEGRATING THESE PRODUCT IMPROVEMENTS. NUMEROUS SOFTWARE CAPABILITIES WERE DEFERRED OR DELETED IN THE CURRENT MIFASS ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT. THE TCO SYSTEM HAS BEEN REDUCED IN SCOPE AND IS BEING REDEFINED. THE MARINE CORPS ...
