The U.S. Army Topographic Engineering Center evaluated the results of a widely used Line of Sight (LOS) software model to provide a standard, verified, and validated algorithm for the Mapping, Charting, and Geodesy (MC&G) community. The LOS software evaluated in this report was derived from a legacy code that was subsequently put through white box testing, black box testing, and entered into the McCabe software testing tools to manage the ...
Mix from unserviceable L8A1 red phosphorus grenades was recovered and recycled as feedstock for L8A3 red phosphorus grenades. Reuse of the mix avoided destruction of the L8A1 mix as a waste and reduced the amount of new raw materials needed for the manufacture of L8A3 rounds. Both control L8A3 grenades (made from all new raw materials) and experimental L8A3 grenades (made from recovered L8A1 mix) were placed in storage at ...
Detailed tidal current information collected in the embayments along the coastline of the central northern Bristol Channel, using both Eulerian and Lagrangian techniques, has demonstrated the existance of tidally induced eddies. These eddies are considered to be the result of flow separation downstream of the headlands. Supplementary, tidal current observations are indicative of the formation of similar eddies. The tidally induced eddies along the northern Bristol Channel coastline are related ...
