|
 | A research programme has been initiated to develop an integrated SE for training the Command and Control of civil emergencies. The focus for this work is on the UK Military Assistance to the Civil Authority (MACA) activities. Events such as the fuel crisis, strikes by fire and ambulance services, and the increasing demands generated following the World Trade Centre attack, have all required the deployment of MoD assets. The SE ... |

|
| This paper gives an overview of GODAE focusing on aspects relevant to the development of a global ocean observing system and to the demonstration of its scientific and practical societal benefits. A general overview of GODAE is first given. The main operational applications which are expected to benefit from the global and integrated approach of GODAE are then presented. User requirements are identified and we try ... |

|
| This report summarizes the fixed and mobile satellite services (FSS, MSS) as studied by three contractors: COMSAT, Hughes. and Space Systems/LORAL. Each contractor developed a commercial satellite communications initiative (0501) architecture based on the requirements provided them from DoD's Integrated Communications Data Base (10DB). An implementation plan; recommending an acquisition, transition, logistics, and host nation approval plan; was developed according to each contractor's recommended architecture. In addition, this report summarizes ... |

|
 | Fast programmable parallel processors such as Mil-DAP now offer the prospect of achieving real time signal processing operations with the convenience of software-specified performance and without special purpose hardware. The problem of accurately registering plan views of the ground with maps has previously been tackled with dedicated hardware. The same operations have now been programmed for Mil-DAP to allow comparative assessment of a programmable implementation. It is concluded that a ... |

|
| During the design of trials to establish the strength of design and safety in gun of the Cartridge 105mm Tank HESH L35A3 produced in Australia a requirement arose to determine the maximum temperatures which the cartridges were likely to experience in service use. The Australian Ordnance Council decided to conduct a trial at the Joint Tropical Trials Research Establishment (JTTRE) Innisfail to measure the temperatures reached by such ammunition when ... |

|
| Light section microscopy was used to assess slime film formation on panels subjected to both static and dynamic exposure at a Biscayne Bay, Miami site. Both Navy and commercial coatings were used. Slime film thickness was measured and reported for exposures between December 1978 and August 1980. Several coatings seem promising in terms of repression of slimes. The feasibility of the light section technique for assessment of surface roughness of ... |

|
| Nondestructive repetitive plate bearing (RPB) tests were conducted on various test sections in state highways in Maine during 13-15 April 1976. The RPB test consists of making resilient surface deflection measurements during repetitive loadings at various radii from the load plate. The pavement system stiffness was calculated and the resilient modulus values for the various pavement layers were determined with the Chevron computer program for a layered elastic system. A ... |

|
| Road test sections of membrane-enveloped silt and clay soils overlain with asphalt cement concrete were subjected to repetitive dynamic plate-bearing loadings to determine their strength variations during freeze-thaw cycles. The recoverable surface deformations in the load deflection bowl were continuously measured during the loading cycles and analyzed using the Chevron layered elastic computer program to obtain the in situ resilient deformation modulus of the various section layers at different stages ... |

|
| Foamed-in-place polyurethane was tested as an expedient road surface insulation and load distributing structural layer with T15 aluminum airfield landing mat as a trafficking surface. The insulation was sprayed on leveling courses of either woodchips or gravel with thicknesses of about 15 cm. Various thicknesses of insulation with two densities were used singly and in combinations of layers. Total insulation thicknesses ranged from 2.5 to 28 cm. The test sections ... |
