An Examination of Latency and Degradation Issues in Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle Environments
There are two basic ways to control an Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle (UCAV) as it searches for targets: allow the UCAV to act autonomously or employ man-in-the-loop control. There are also two target sets of interest: fixed or mobile targets. This research focuses on UCAV-based targeting of mobile targets using man-in-the-loop control. In particular, the interest is in how levels of satellite signal latency or signal degradation affect the ability to accurately track, target, and attack mobile targets. This research establishes a weapon effectiveness model assessing targeting inaccuracies as a function of signal latency and/or signal degradation. The research involved three phases. The first phase in the research was to identify the levels of signal latency associated with satellite communications.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Space Based Satellite Tracking and Characterization Utilizing Non-Imaging Passive Sensors
A technique is developed to determine the orbit of a sunlight illuminated satellite passing through the field-of-view of a sensor platform in a Highly Elliptical Orbit (HEO) and Geosynchronous orbit (GEO). The technique develops two different methods of initial orbit determination. The first relies on the Gauss initial orbit determination method to develop an estimate of the state from angular data. The second method relies on positional data of the target relative to the Earth's background to determine an estimate of the state. These estimates are then refined in a non-linear least squares routine. This estimate of the state is then used to identify the target from the Air Force Space Command satellite catalog.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Operating at the Convergence of Sea Power and Cyber Power
There is little debate as to the importance of Cyber operations within the US Government. Securing it is another issue beyond awareness. To quote the 2003 "National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace," "Securing cyberspace is an extraordinarily difficult challenge that requires a coordinated and focused effort.." The approach presented within this document represents such an approach - for the US Navy and from within the US Navy. The traditional approach for the Navy C4I systems engineering offices (such as SPAWAR) has been to deliver technologies that will satisfy Navy and Joint warfighter requirements on an ad-hoc basis. While the products such organizations provided were developed more quickly than the typical "big Navy" ship programs, the products were often not able to keep pace with current technology available to users in the private sector, generating user frustration due to poor expectation management.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Categorizing High Energy Laser Effects for the Joint Munitions Effectiveness Manual
With the high risk and cost in fielding High Energy Laser (HEL) weapon systems, the development process must include computer simulation models of weapon system performance from the engineering level up to predicting the military worth of employing specific systems in a combat scenario. This research effort focuses on defining how to measure lethality for HEL weapons in an Advanced Tactical Laser (ATL) scenario. In order to create an effective measure for direct comparison between the emerging laser weapon system and existing conventionally delivered weapons, lase time in seconds is presented as a measure comparable to rounds required to cause the desired effect at the target. An examination of input parameters which influence the output power of the laser at the target and thus the required lase time is presented with particular attention being paid to atmospheric conditions and vulnerable bucket size.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Rapid Runway Repair
Minimum Operating Strip (MOS) selection determines the exact placement of the MOS on the damaged runway, and therefore, the amount of munitions that need to be neutralized and the amount of damage that will need to be repaired. MOS selection, in essence, is the key determinant of the time required to attain an operational takeoff and recovery surface. Since the MOS selection stage determines the events and scope of work for all of the Rapid Runway Repair (RRR) stages that follow, it could be argued that this is the most important stage in the entire RRR process. The primary purpose of this research was to evaluate the application of a decision analysis methodology for the selection of a MOS during the RRR process. The secondary purpose was to determine the effect of additional considerations on both the MOS selected and the repair time. MOSs selected utilizing the outlined methodology were compared to a MOS selected using the current USAF method. Results showed that additional considerations have an impact on both MOS selection and time to repair. Results also showed that the outlined methodology selected a MOS with a shorter repair time, despite additional damage, than the MOS selected using the current USAF method.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Airlift 2025
The Chief of Staff of the Air Force, General Ronald R. Fogleman, has directed the Air University to conduct a major study on air and space power and concepts applicable to the year 2025 and beyond. This will include examination of innovative systems, new concepts of operations, and the emerging technologies enabling them. The study formally commenced in August 1995 when the students arrived for the Air University 1995-1996 academic year and will conclude in June 1996 with delivery of the final report to the Chief of Staff of the Air Force. The final report will be a logically ordered collection of white papers developed from the innovative concepts and technology abstracts submitted.Power projection is critically dependent on mobility forces. The air mobility system should be capable of supporting national objectives from humanitarian, non-hostile operations through armed conflict. Because of operational constraints that include evolving threats and reduced external infrastructure, the airlift system in the year 2025 should be independent of theater basing structure. International political changes will likely necessitate the basing of most, if not all, US military forces in the continental United States (CONUS). However, this will not end the requirement for a global US presence. Although the probability of direct foreign military threats to our interests may be slight, Air Mobility Command (AMC), the air transportation arm of US Transportation Command, must be prepared to conduct global air mobility on a daily basis. In addition, AMC must continue to support humanitarian and peacekeeping missions in both benign and hostile environments. These expanding requirements demand attention. This paper proposes technologically feasible concepts to meet the air mobility requirements posed by probable US national objectives in the year 2025.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Creep Performance of Oxide Ceramic Fiber Materials at Elevated Temperature in Air and in Steam
The effects of steam on the creep performance for several ceramic materials were investigated at temperatures in the 1100-1300-C range. Experimental programs were designed to explore both tensile and compressive creep behaviors as well as the response in monotonic tension. Subcritical crack growth was determined to be the dominant failure mechanism in ceramic fibers at elevated temperatures in steam. The creep life prediction analysis of ceramic fiber tows was performed using linear elastic fracture mechanics and a power-law crack velocity model. Additionally, the effects of steam at 1300-C on creep performance of high-purity polycrystalline yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) were studied. The high temperature mechanical properties of polycrystalline YAG make it the most promising candidate material oxide material for the next generation ceramic fiber.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
