Epicyclic Gears
“GE and RENK join forces to bring this advanced technology to the U.S. Navy.”
Gary Mowers
Manager - Gear Engineering Lynn, Massachusetts
Searching The World
Globalization. Working with other world leaders to develop innovative ideas. “It’s nothing new to GE,” Gary said. “The Company knows this is the best way to incorporate the latest advances into our products and systems. While GE has designed, manufactured and delivered epicyclic gears to the Navy, we wanted to enhance our technical base. So we entered into a technology transfer agreement with the German gear manufacturer RENK TACKE. Their experience in epicyclic gears encompasses over 800 industrial, marine and naval applications.”
“GE will manufacture epicyclic gears in the world’s finest gear facility right here in Lynn,” Gary explained. “In this way, the Navy will benefit from over 30 years of RENK epicyclic gear experience, as well as over 75 years of GE engineering and manufacturing experience producing propulsion and ships service systems for America’s fleet.”
Quiet Running
Our objective is to produce quiet, reliable, light weight, high power density epicyclic gears. According to Gary, this goal is within reach. “GE has the newest technology that’s right for today’s Navy. Now we are combining it with noise and vibration advancements we pioneered for propulsion systems aboard almost every class of ship and submarine in the fleet, including the latest generation of hardened and ground gears for Arleigh Burke destroyers. An important reason we are working with RENK is that their epicyclic gears offer unique noise reduction features.”
Clusters Of Technology
While other companies only make gears, GE makes complete propulsion systems. “GE is using systems integration to harness multiple technologies to make the next generation of Navy ships a superior force,” Gary continued. “For example, our epicyclic gears will be integrated into the advanced electric drive propulsion system, which we were contracted to develop for the Navy in the coming years. Beyond epicyclic gears, GE is leading the way with Propulsion Derived Ships Service, Inter- cooled Regenerative Gas Turbines and other advanced technologies.”
A Proud Tradition “The Navy is a valued customer,” Gary concluded. “We offer unparalleled expertise in the design, manufacture and test of totally integrated propulsion and ships service power systems. It’s the GE difference. The successful application of advanced epicyclic gearing is a mission we share wit h t he Navy. As in the past, we will accomplish this mission.”

The mission: Ensure the U.S. Navy’s fleet performance remains unsurpassed.
Today, the unparalleled service life and reliability of LM 2500 powered patrol boats, guided missile frigates, destroyers, Aegis Cruisers, and fast combat support ships have helped bring fleet readiness to an all time high.
At sea, the high speed efficiency of LM 2500 gas turbine propulsion has contributed significantly to fleet range and endurance. At the same time, the compact design of these remarkable engines has provided the space needed for the sophisU- cated systems that give today’s ships such awesome offensive and defensive capabiliues.
But maintaining the superiority of today’s surface fleet calls for forward thinking and bold acdon. To meet the challenge, GE’s gas turbine team is condnuously advancing propulsion technology with innovadve systems for Navy ships of the next generation, whether they’re conventional hulls, SES or SWATH. Propulsion and power systems that provide the design flexibility, performance and cost effecdveness a future of superiority at sea demands.

SCIENCE SCOPE
A thermal imaging system that turns night into day for crews of U.S. Navy SH-2F Light Airborne Multi-Purpose System (LAMPS) helicopters is aiding in the fight against drugs. LAMPS helicopters, equipped with the Hughes Aircraft Company’s AN/AAQ-16 Hughes Night Vision System (HNVS), have been participating in law enforcement operations in support of the Coast Guard Carribean Squadron, flying hundreds of vital law enforcement surveillance sorties, sighting and reporting many suspect surface vessels which otherwise would have gone undetected. HNVS has been installed on a variety of U.S. Army, Air Force and Navy helicopters, and a derivative of the system has been selected for the U.S. Tri-Service V-22 Osprey.
An innovative radar antenna that can look forward, back, or to the side virtually instantaneously may soon be performing reconnaissance for the U.S. Air Force. The electronically scanning antenna (ESA), built by Hughes, can position its broader beam faster than conventional antennas because it is a phased-array radar antenna that scans the radar beam electronically instead of mechanically. As a result of four years of successful testing in Europe, during which time an ESA was mounted in a United States Air Force TR-1 reconnaissance plane, the Air Force plans to install ESAs in the U-2R and TR-1 aircraft of its advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar Systems - 2 fleet.
An automatic visual inspection system will verify the quality of solder joints in radar sub-assemblies. The system, under development at Hughes, is comprised of a special light source, a video camera, and a computer. The system verifies the quality of each solder joint flow and sends the results to a touch-up workstation where a human operator can correct any defects. Hughes currently creates about 100 million solder joints per year and expects to achieve a significant reduction in manpower requirements and an improvement in product reliability.
Technology which allows small satellite earth stations to transmit and receive data, voice, and video information in complete privacy helps smaller companies enjoy the advantages of satellite communications services. Hughes has established and is operating earth station facilities which can be shared among many users as the central control point for their independent networks. When combined with Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) stations using advanced transmission techniques, Hughes’ shared hub facilities allow companies to quickly and cost-effectively establish their own private, customized, satellite-based business communications networks.
A weather satellite outlives its predicted life span while sending back over 1,300,000 pictures from space. The satellite, GOES West, was built by Hughes and operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). NOAA engineers were able to extend the life of GOES West with careful management of its instruments, enabling it to transmit weather cloud images to earth for over nine months beyond its expected five-year life span. The satellite is continuing to perform its other functions of collecting and transmitting weather data from ground and ocean instruments. GOES East was moved west to provide forecasters with some of the images previously provided by GOES West until the next GOES satellite is launched.

Morning Seminar: “ALL ANGLES: PEARY AND THE NORTH POLE”
Mahan Hall Auditorium, 0900-1145 ■
Was Robert E. Peary's claim of reaching the North Pole if 1909 valid or one of the biggest hoaxes in American history-
After an opening welcome by RADM Virgil Hill, USN, Naval Institute Vice President and Superintendent of the U.S- Naval Academy, and an introduction by the Naval Institute's Executive Director and Publisher, CAPT James A. Barber, Jr., , USN (Ret.), principal players in the volatile Peary controversy will meet face-to-face, for the first time, to debate their respective theories.
The panel comprises five of world's most distinguished and outspoken experts: Wally Herbert, a British polar explorer who rekindled the debate with a National Geographic article in 1988; LTCOL William E. Molett, USAF (Ret.), who wrote a series of articles on the topic in 1990 for Navigation: Journal of the Institute of Navigation; Ralph Plaisted, who claims his own 1988 snowmobile expedition was the first over-ice trek to the Pole; and Dennis Rawlins, an astronomy and physics professor who says he has proof that Peary faked his data, j Supporting Peary's claim is Douglas Davies who did research for the Navigation Foundation's recent positive evaluation of Peary and stands in for his father, RADM Thomas D. Davies, USN (Ret.), who recently passed away and laid out the Foundation's position in the February Proceedings. Distinguished ! naval historian and Naval Institute author Jack Sweetman, a ' history professor at the Naval Academy and author of the U.S. Naval Academy: An Illustrated History, will moderate ! the event.

At crucial moments like this, confidence is all. Especially when you’re learning.
The US Navy put their confidence in the T-45A “Goshawk” trainer powered by the Rolls-Royce Adour F405 turbofan.
Together, they’re a team that combine superb safety and reliability with the freedom of handling that’s needed to develop a student pilot’s flying skills.
And while the student is learning, the US Navy will be saving. Compared with today’s training system, the
efficiency of the T-45 Training System means that 42% fewer aircraft will be needed, 25% fewer flight hours and 15% less lime to train. Also, with low fuel burn and high thrust, the Adour uses 60% less fuel than the Navy’s current trainers. Its modulardesign reduces maintenance downtime and spare engine requirements, [rolls Over 3 million hours flying have J^\v proved the Adour's characteristic reliability 14^^ and low cost. A rare and valuable combi nation of qualities. [RQYCE

Clean sweeps on INSURV acceptance trials are commonplace at Trinity because we design and build quality 'bto our ships from the beginning. This earns us repeat Praise and “Brooms Up” commendations from highly Placed Navy and Army officers.
Our high quality shipbuilding standards, coupled with a systems engineering approach and computerized scheduling and management, ensure cost effective ships built on schedule, to customer satisfaction. Our Pine shipyards and advanced technology team meet and heat production schedules.
We have just completed a six-ship Navy T-AGOSpro- 9ram of which three were delivered ahead of schedule, and are now building two T-AGS hydrographic ships, °ne AGOR oceanographic survey ship, five PCF patrol boats, and three crane barges for the U.S. Navy. We are also building two patrol boats for Ecuador.
In addition, we are building and completing thirty-five LCU-2000 class landing craft and a fifth logistic
support vessel (LSV) for the U.S. Army. We’ve also built over 14,000 vessels since 1921.
Our newest shipyard can build ships up to 900 feet and is ready for new construction, and repair and overhaul work now.
Past performance confirms, when every dollar counts, you can count on Trinity, the “Brooms Up” shipbuilder.

TECHNOLOGY THAT LOWERS COSTS.
The Navy has been dropping Magnavox sonobuoys for over 35 years. We’ve been dropping the price
just as long.
Today, Magnavox sonobuoys give the U.S. Navy more than twice the detection capability — at half the 1953 cost. Advances gained through technology have allowed us to cut costs, yet maintain the highest quality in detection capability. Magnavox sonobuoys find the underwater threat.
Experience counts. For three
decades Magnavox has competitively bid and manufactured every major production sonobuoy the Navy has deployed. We’ve built four million to date, with each designed to feature flexibility and unsurpassed performance.
Magnavox is the only company specializing in both “wet end” and “dry end” ASW technology. We understand the synergy between the data- gathering sonobuoy and its airborne acoustic signal processor.
After all, we produce nearly half of the “wet end” and 75 percent of the “dry end” signal processing equipment used in our nation’s P-3 aircraft.
Magnavox That’s why, when it comes to
affordable ASW technology, there’s only one name to drop.

We’ve been searching for intelligeiie
The ocean is teeming with sounds. Fish, mammals, currents and even changes in temperature can create myriad noises that make it very difficult to detect a hostile submarine. Yet our national security can depend on that detection.
IBM has been providing the Navy with the ability to make such distinctions since 1970 when we first developed the AN/BQQ-5 active-passive sonar system for Los Angeles- class nuclear attack submarines.
Later, we delivered a passive sonar system, AN/BQQ-6, for the Trident submarines before taking on the challenging AN/BSY-1 combat control system for upgraded Los Angeles-class submarines.
One of IBM’s most complex systems integration efforts ever, AN/BSY-1 weighs some 32 tons and includes 100 general purpose and 50 specialized processors, digital beam- formers, signal conditioners, displays and disk storage devices. The system requires 11.5 miles of wire cable and features 4.6 million lines of software code. Delivered on time, the system continues to exceed performance expectations.
Today IBM is part of the U.S. Navy’s team developing the combat system for the next generation nuclear-powered submarine.
We also continue to strengthen the Navy’s ability to make enemy detections from the airborne LAMPS MK III, P-3 and S-3B.
Whether it be submarines, surface ships or aircraft, this broad range of projects exemplifies IBM’s leadership in areas of systems integration that are vital to our national security. It also demonstrates how our program management skills allow us to solve problems of almost any magnitude.
As this century closes, these challenges become tougher by the day.
But at IBM, we’ll go deeper than ever to come up with solutions.

In defense systems, first cost is 'fiportant, hut reliability and maintainability count more. As Admiral Arleigh Hurke once said, “If the equipment doesn’t work in battle, it doesn’t make nil|ch difference how much else we know, the battle is lost — and so are the People in it.”
Since 1938, FMC Naval Systems division has been the principal design a8<-*nt and producer of guns and missile systems aboard U.S. Navy surface combatants. Today, all FMC-built systems aboard commissioned vessels are ready for battle. They will never be lost for lack of access to parts, service or training.
We offer assurance that every FMC system is not only effective in battle, but can be maintained and supported at reasonable cost. And with a high degree of modularity in design, ORDALTS are possible to upgrade and extend life eycles well into the next century.
FMC field services range from shipyard installation to operational training to overhaul and upgrades. Services are extended to ships at sea, at FMC-operated pierside facilities on both U.S. coasts, or any designated port in the world. All service is performed by a large network of technical representatives, backed by the Surface Warfare Overhaul/Repair Depot (SWORD), a U.S. Navy-designated facility located at FMC’s Naval Systems Division.
We are committed to serve the fleet anywhere, anytime in support of every weapon we build. For more information, write FMC Corporation, Naval Systems Division, 4800 East River Road, Minneapolis, MN 55421-1498.

LIMITED OBJECTIVE WARFARE IS HERE TODAY.
SO IS SLAM.
is designed for surgical strike missions which demand high effectiveness and low collateral damage. And it delivers under day/night and adverse weather conditions.
For standoff strike capability now and in the future, SLAM is the right weapon. And it’s working now.
. SLAM’s long standoff range ensures pilot and aircraft survivability With man-in-the-loop guidance,
SLAM, America’s Standoff Land Attack Missile, is tailor-made for deployment in contingency and limited objective warfare. And, as demonstrated, it’s ready now.
Currently in production at McDonnell Douglas Missile Systems Company (MDMSC), SLAM is a direct descendant of the successful Harpoon missile. It is produced on the same production line and supported by the existing Harpoon logistics system. This means known costs, known performance, and known reliability.
