A CASE STUDY OF THE CONTRACT CLOSEOUT PROCESS AT DEFENSE CONTRACT MANAGEMENT AGENCY LOCKHEED MARTIN MISSILES AND FIRE CONTROL ORLANDO
… are concerns about how appropriated funds are controlled and managed. The DOD uses the contract management process to obligate funds through the award of contracts for the procurement of goods and services. At the end of the contract period, when all services have been performed and products …

Flying knights or Flying scientists? a cognitive history of the US Air Force Fighter Pilot in air-to-air combat, 1950-1980
… interactions that linked the pilots with their fire control technologies. This study presents an alternative perspective of fighter aviation, viewing it instead as an inseparable system of humans and machines working together. I develop a cognitive history of the air-to-air fighter pilot, …

Fighting Forest Fires in the Western United States: an Educational Filmstrip and Manual for Teaching Forest Conservation
… for informing people about the methods of forest fire control employed in the Western United States. The project was specifically intended to assist the teacher of forest conservation at the seventh grade level, but it should also prove useful in teaching at other levels.

Naval ship control systems.
… view of the state of the art in Naval Ship Control Systems. This study covers material that is concerned with conventional Naval Surface Ships such as Destroyers and Frigates. Fire Control Systems are not considered because such studies already exist at the present time.

Computer simulation of a large-scale non-linear feedback control system
… Compensation Network. This network is a feedback control system that filters out the effects of surface ship motion on a weapon's response to commands from the ship's fire control center. The network includes a number of non-standard elements that prevent mathematical prediction of its closed-loop …

Developing a Methodology to Detect Partial Failures for Dynamic Systems
… partial failures in dynamic systems such as Fire Control System Tracking Radar (TR) onboard Naval Ships. Partial failures do not necessarily shut down the system immediately but cause degradation of operational performance. Previous work has shown that experts in the field of failure …

Filter and bounding algorithm development for a helmet mounted micromechanical inertial sensor array
… requirements to meet pointing accuracies for fire control system handoff applications for the next generation of air to air missiles, such as the AIM-9X Sidewinder missile. A Markov process coupling technique used in this research is shown to achieve pointing accuracies of 4 to 11 …

The transformation of oscillatory equations in six degree of freedom re-entry trajectory models with coordinate transformations
Currently, many missile fire control systems use a three degree of freedom (3-DOF) trajectory model. The three degrees of freedom represent the linear motion of the missile in three dimensions. A 6-DOF model adds roll, pitch, and yaw, or angular motion in three dimensions to the first three degrees …

Evaluating Simulated Military Training Exercises
… training. JKCE places Army Air Defense Artillery Fire Control Officers (ADAFCOs) into an Air Force Control and Reporting Center (CRC) simulator. From the CRC, the ADAFCO leads an air missile defense scenario, protecting friendly assets (airfields, bases, missile launchers, etc.) and coordinating …

THE BEAMING SUN: THE EFFECTIVENESS OF IMPERIAL JAPANESE RADAR AGAINST UNITED STATES AIRCRAFT DURING THE BATTLE FOR SAIPAN
… (US) aircraft losses. These Japanese search and fire-control radar emplacements allowed the detection and destruction of dozens of US aircraft through anti-aircraft fire on an unprecedented level. The thesis provides the first narrative of the US's underestimation of the effectiveness of Japanese …

The development of correlation log
… systems. Ship speed is also used as an input to fire control systems on Naval vessels. The need for an accurate speed measuring device, that measures ship speed relative to the sea bed is thus apparent. All non acoustic logs measure ship speed relative to the water, and absolute ship speed can …

The derivation of fire hazard indices and burning prescriptions from climatic and ecological features of the fynbos biome
This study deals with the development of fire behaviour prediction and fire danger rating systems, and their potential use in fynbos catchment areas. Fynbos catchments are managed for sustained water yields and for nature conservation. Wildfires have always been a problem in these areas, and early …

A NEW SUBAPERTURE APPROACH TO HIGH SQUINT SYNTHETIC APERTURE RADAR PROCESSING
… However, in some applications like airborne fire control radar or military reconnaissance where the area of interests cannot be reached instantly, the antenna exhibits a pointing angle (called squint angle) offset from the zero Doppler direction (squint mode). In this project, a High Squint …
