InfoTech proposes to develop schemas and an overall design for the FPAC, CSS, C/CLAM, FOTDT, C/SCAPE, EMA/WS, and Ship Specification systems and the CAD 2 Combat System Equipment Macro Libraries. The schemas will be implementable in an Object Oriented Database Management System (OODBMS), and will be developed using Rumbaugh's Object Modeling Technique (OMT). It is noted that many NAVSEA systems ...

The U.S. Navy has already achieved dramatic cost savings using teleconferencing technology in its Chief Electronic Schoolhouse Network (CESN) project. Even greater cost savings could be achieved if teleconferencing technology were portable and reliable enough to be used from any geographic location (ship or shore), in the world. At the same time, experiments like the Defense Information Services ...

Flyer plate boosters are a very efficient device for detonating warheads filled with insensitive explosives. The devices produce a prompt detonation wave in the main fill explosive which may continue to propagate or it may fail due to comer turning effects. Calculation of detonation propagation or failure is an essential part of flyer plate booster design. In order to calculate detonation failur ...

Composite materials find increasing importance as structural materials for modern lightweight and low cost aircraft. Structures using composite materials essentially rely on the integrity of adhesive bonds for their structural stability. A major limitation in employing composites in critical structures is that the existing methods of testing the integrity of structures are not adequate to a ...

M-DOT Inc. proposes to conduct a trade study and design a low- cost hot-gas turbine driven fuel pump/hydraulic power supply for use on an advanced missile system. When design is complete, a cost analysis of a proposed production version will be conducted. The unit will be capable of the following: Delivering 0.5 lbm/sec of jet fuel against a back pressure of 100 psia and providing 1 hp of hydraul ...

We propose to develop a simulation system that integrates CAD/CAM/CAT tools into a Virtual Manufacturing Environment, and to demonstrate the proof of concept. The proposed system will be based on the demonstrated functionality of Multi-dimensional, user-oriented Synthetic Environment, UuSE (pronounced "muse'). Developed at Sandia National Laboratories by UuSE Technologies, Inc. (principals a ...

Nanosize metal or alloy powders are a novel class of materials with grain size less than 100 nanometer with a combination of unique properties. These novel materials give an opportunity to engineer a wide variety of controlled optical, electronic, chemical, and mechanical properties for various applications. The extent and rate at which these advanced materials can be applied depends in part ...
