|
 | The evolution of decoy flares did not follow a direct or pre-planned path. Instead, the development was influenced by many factors and requirements existing at the time. One of the most important of these is that the Naval Ordnance Test Station (NOTS), Inyokern China Lake, California had an assigned mission to develop rockets and missiles. This mission became the basis for the requirement that drove flare developments. Fortunately there were ... |

| Authors:
John G. Smith; Christopher T. Middlebrook; NAVAL SURFACE WARFARE CENTER CRANE DIV IN
|
| The AN/SAY-1 Thermal Imaging Sensor System "TISS" was developed to provide surface ships with a day/night imaging capability to detect low radar reflective, small cross-sectional area targets such as floating mines. Through field testing and laboratory measurements, the performance of the imaging sensors of TISS has been evaluated. The objective of this paper is to present program history, performance evaluation of TISS, and future considerations of the TISS program. |

|
| A 150 lb/day sub-scale plant has been demonstrated for the recovery of HMX and RDX from LX-14 and Composition A-3, respectively. This recovery process involves solubilizing the binder through the use of an acid or hot water/surfactant, then separating the explosive from the binder solution by centrifugation. The recovered HMX and RDX are of high purity at a high yield and have melting points comparable to pure HMX and RDX. ... |

| A New Approach for Service Life Evaluation of Gun Propellant |

James A Wilson; NAVAL SURFACE WARFARE CENTER CRANE DIV IN
|
| The ability to predict how long gun propellant will remain serviceable (i.e., safe and functional) has been a concern of the US Navy for decades. The initial ordnance service life program began in 1944. Historically, service life programs have provided very limited extensions for service life of gun propellant. One of the primary reasons for this short coming is that gun propellant contains nitrate esters (nitrocellulose, nitroglycerin, or both). Nitrate ... |

| In 1965 Edwin A. Keeble Associates, Inc. was the first group to start looking at ways to compute magazine requirements for ammunition. Before that time, a number of rule of thumb methods for computations had been used. Using the findings of the Keeble Associates and the Navy rules for storing ammunition in OP 5, I have developed an ammunition storage model for determining magazine requirements. The Ammunition Storage Analysis Model ... |

|
| The U.S. Navy has not operationally deployed obscurant smoke to hide capital ships from being targeted by enemy gunners for many years. One serious drawback to the use of a smoke cloud to cover a ship is that the obscured ship also cannot accurately target the enemy. However with the sensors and guidance systems of today's anti-ship missiles, the older obscurant clouds represented by fog oil type smoke pots will ... |

| With traditional flare measurements, a flare is assumed to be a point source since it is a relatively small target viewed at a relatively long range. However, when the flare area becomes sufficiently large in relation to the viewing range the flare must be treated as an extended source and the spatial characteristics of the flare must be considered. The ability of an imaging radiometer to provide spatial information makes ... |

| Large numbers of infrared (IR) decoy flares, which are used to counter IR missile threats, have been expended during past training exercises of Naval combat pilots. In an effort to maintain a current level of training using the most cost-effective manner, a low cost training simulator was desired.
