Accurate Automation Corporation will design, develop, demonstrate, and transition by the end of Phase II a new tool, the Precision Logistics Support System (PLSS), which can assist Marine Corps logistics personnel in rapidly generating and refining a logistics / supply plan that will best meet the needs of any specific deployment. The prototype PLSS will be configured for a LAN-connected PC en ...

Under this project and with a follow-on Phase II, Accurate Automation will build a hand-held device for Forward Air Supprt--Marine (FASM). This device, the Hand-held Terminal Targeting/Control System (HTTS) will enabe a Marine forward observer to perform terminal control of a ship-launched missile (e.g., ERGM). It will also support two-way development of SA; the forward observer will be able to ...

In today's military environment ships, systems, and equipment are being asked to perform at levels not thought possible a decade ago. The intent is to improve process operations and equipment reliability, availability, and maintainability without costly upgrades. Of course, these gains must be achieved without impacting combat readiness. Downsizing is also taking its toll on operations. Loss o ...

The ultimate goal of the proposed R&D is to design, develop and validate innovative CORBA-based software security services and compatible hardware architectures which provide high assurance for multi-level secure (MLS) network applications. The proposed approach is innovative in that it is based on the emerging OMG Security Services Specification (SSS) plus a proprietary technique for maintaining ...

The LCAC Full-Mission Trainer (FMT) is providing a cost-effective tool for training LCAC operators in normal craft operation and casualty mode conditions. However, the FMT was never validated with full-scale LCAC test data. Rather, the feel of the FMT was uning coefficients in response to inputs obtained from experienced LCAC operators. The FMT training schedule combined wi ...

Chesapeake Sciences Corporation, under contract to the Navy (NUWC) for development of a Towed Active Receive System (TARS) telemetry, proposes to study the application of the TARS telemetry to support the stated goals including commonalty with both surface ship and submarine platforms, affordability, and maximum application of previously developed commercial and Navy technology to towed array ...

The towed array capabilities of the US Navy combine high reliability, high channel count, long aperture and low self noise to provide an underwater acoustic superiority not matched by any other Navy. This superiority has also brought with it unwanted high production costs for these arrays. The next generation of Naval towed arrays with increasingly larger aperture may be out of the reach of a cos ...

The United States Navy has numerous projectiles/munitions loaded with explosives such as Explosive D, which present problems with demilitarization. Explosive D which has been pressed into and removed from projectiles or other ammunitions is much more sensitive than new or unused material. Therefore, reclaimed material should not be pressed or loaded into ammunition items until it has been recryst ...

An innovative combination of key contributors to ejection seat/capsule aerodynamic modeling, controller and sequencer design, and biodynamic simulation are to be integrated under the framework of a commercial software simulation tool for this Phase I project. The use of a commercial simulation package enhances the cost effectiveness of the software development, since support of graphics capabilit ...

THE PROPOSAL DESCRIBES A METHOD FOR DEVELOPING A DYNAMIC SIMULATION MODEL OF THE MANAGEMENT DECISION-MAKING PROCESS THAT SUPPORTS THE CONCURRENT ENGINEERING PROCESS. THE MODEL CAN CAPTURE THE COMPLEX TRADEOFF PRESSURES THAT INEVITABLY ARISE AMONG SCHEDULE, BUDGET AND ENGINEERING QUALITY. THE FEEDBACK STRUCTURE THAT UNDERLIES THE DYNAMIC BEHAVIOR OF ENGINEERING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM CONTAINS INTERLINKE ...
