 | This report identifies and surveys the state of the art in enabling technologies supporting the major components of autonomous mobile robot design. The object of this effort is to determine to what extent ongoing industry and university programs can support the development of "lobster-sized," land based autonomous robots capable of traversing terrain consisting of vertical obstacles, canyons, and diverse surface textures in all-weather conditions. Particular attention is placed on path ... |

| The 155-mm regenerative liquid propellant gun (RLPG) system was built by General Electric (GE) specifically for the advanced field artillery system (AFAS) program. During its development and testing, a series of test firings were conducted at the GE, Malta, NY test facility. These test firings revealed that high frequency pressure oscillations that are known to exist in some RLPG, existed during the firing of this gun. In light of this ... |

|
| In an effort to determine the safety characteristics of the high explosive (H.E.) loaded M42/M46 grenade body assemblies while stacked in the M483A1 projectile, a program was conducted to ascertain if unintentional initiation of the M55 detonator would propagate to the Composition A-5 main charge of the grenade above. The M42/M46 grenades are the cargo in the 155 mm, M483A1 ICM projectile. The grenades are dual purpose (antiarmor, antipersonnel) items. ... |
