BASED UPON THERMODYNAMIC DATA AND EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS, AMI HAS DETERMINED THAT ZIRCONIUM DIBORIDE IS ONE OF THE FEW CERAMIC MATERIALS THAT IS CHEMICALLY COMPATIBLE WITH TITANIUM METAL AT ELEVATED TEMPERATURES. THEREFORE, THIS CERAMIC MATERIAL, REINFORCED WITH SUITABLE CERAMIC WHISKERS, SHOULD BE AN IDEAL CANDIDATE TO REPLACE TUNGSTEN CARBIDE AS A MACHINE TOOL INSERT FOR MACHINING TITANIUM ALLOYS. ...

Computing technology (as well as control and display technology) is rapidly becoming more powerful, miniaturized and wearable. These trends will allow Navy personnel to be increasingly mobile, not tethered to hardwired console and computer systems. In conjunction with wearable display systems, wireless LANs, and alternative control mechanisms (such as voice recognition), system operators may, ...

CURRENT, UBIQUITOUS TIME-OF-ARRIVAL (TOA) BASED INTERCEPT RECEIVER PROCESSING CAN BE EASILY DEFEATED BY RANDOMIZING THE RADAR PRI. CURRENTLY DEPLOYED SYSTEMS ALL EMPLOY SOME FORM OF (RELATIVELY) NARROW BANDWIDTH SUPERHETERODYNE-BASED INTERFEROMETER AS THE BASIC INTERCEPT RECEIVER ARCHIETECTURE; ADDITION OF PULSE-TO-PULSE RANDOM FREQUENCY AGILITY WILL FURTHER DEGRADE THE INTERCEPT CAPABILITY. USE O ...

DEFENSE GROUP INCORPORATED (DGI) IN CONJUNCTION WITH SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION (SAIC) PROPOSES TO USE INNOVATIVE ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES TO RELATE THE NAVY'S STRIKE WARFARE (STW) WARFIGHTING REQUIREMENTS TO STW SYSTEMS ACQUISITION. THE METHODOLOGY CONSISTS OF: (1) DEVELOPING A SET OF TIME-PHASED EVENTS THAT COMPRISE THE STW OPERATIONAL SEQUENCE, (2) FOR EACH EVENT, DESCRIBING THE ...

DRAMATIC INCREASES IN INFORMATION SYSTEM CAPABILITIES AND SUBSTANTIAL REDUCTIONS IN THEIR COSTS COMPARED TO REMOTE WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS IS A POWERFUL ARGUMENT FOR A REVISED ARCHITECTURE CONCEPT FOR C2 INFORMATION MANAGEMENT. REDUCING ON-LINE, INTER-PLATFORM DATA TRANSMISSION REQUIREMENTS THROUGH COST-EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT OF INFORMATION IS NOW POSSIBLE. APPLICATION OF THE INFORMATION MANAGEMENT ...

N/A

Weapon payloads are needed to degrade an adversary's military capability while minimizing the destructive effect on civilian populations. A payload which inhibits operation of internal combustion engines while having no destructive impact on human beings would meet a variety of non-lethal weapon requirements. Immobilization of engines by uptake of fuel combustion inhibitor (FCI) compounds, tailor ...

N/A

TRIDENT SYSTEM PROPOSES TO SUPPORT THE NAVY-S REQUIREMENT TO IDENTIFY INTERACTIVE/VIRTUAL REALITY DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE AIRBORNE ASW MISSION. CURRENT NAVY ASW DISPLAY TECHNOLOGY, INCLUDING HARDWARE, SOFTWARE, AND MAN-MACHINE INTERFACES (MMI), REQUIRES UPGRADING TO PREVENT OPERATOR OVERLOAD IN HIGH DATA RATE AND COMPLEX DATA/HIGH DISPLAY DENSITY SITUATIONS. MAJOR DEVELOPMENTS IN THE FIELD OF ...
