SCIENCE SCOPE
A new hydrogen maser “atomic clock” combines a compact size suitable for space applications with the highest long-term stability ever reported for this type of device. Developed and built by Hughes Aircraft Company for the U.S. Navy, the fully automated frequency standard is about 10 times more stable than currently-used cesium beam devices. Atomic clocks use the resonance frequency of an atom to provide a precise measurement of time, but use of hydrogen maser clocks in space has been limited due to their bulkiness. Other Hughes-built atomic clocks were developed for the Defense Department’s NAVSTAR Global Positioning System.

A tiny chip containing 97.600 infrared detector elements has given scientists a new way of looking at the sun. The chip, produced by Hughes, allowed California Institute of Technology scientists to observe certain aspects of sunspots, allowing them to disprove an earlier theory about the intensity of radiation at certain infrared wavelengths. The observation provided solar observers with one more piece of evidence in their attempt to understand solar flare activity, which has a bearing on the Earth’s ozone layer. The sensor chip, called a hybrid Schottky platinum silicide focal plane array, was originally produced to serve as the “eye” of a guided missile.
Advanced polishing techniques and a drv etching process are combining to improve the yields of Gallium Arsenide Microwave/Millimeter Wave Monolithic Integrated Circuits (MIMIC). In the final processing steps, MIMIC wafers must be reduced in thickness from .025 inches to .004 inches, keeping the upper and lower surfaces parallel, and via holes must be created through the wafer for future electrical connections. With technology developed by Hughes, wafers are embedded in wax during polishing, and holes are created using reactive ion etching, a dry rather than wet etching process. These processes can reduce the number of wafers that have to be scrapped, significantly improving the yield of MIMIC technology.
The first optical fiber durable enough to meet military specifications consists of a unique metal-coated fiber that can be soldered to provide a hermetic seal. The fiber, called a "pigtail", is used to connect an optical fiber cable to a package containing a laser or sensor and associated electronics. Typically, optical fibers are coated with plastic for protection. The plastic is later removed and the fiber is vacuum metalized to enable soldering, however, this leaves the fiber weak. Because a hermetic coating is applied as the fiber is drawn, the Hughes pigtail retains its initial high strength. The Hughes metal-coated pigtails can be used in fire detection systems, radiation environments, undersea cables, high power laser transmission systems, and other environmentally demanding applications.
A unique simulator can measure an automobile driver’s reactions to one hundred-thousandth of a second. The simulator subject sits in a real Oldsmobile Cutlass and sees a scene projected on a curved screen that fills his field view. Steering, braking, and throttle inputs from the driver create a near life-like drive down the highway. At the same time, the simulator monitors driver’s responses, allowing automotive engineers to create, test, tune, and evaluate new concepts for vehicles. The simulator, developed at Hughes, has been used to examine driver performance in simulated cars equipped with head-up displays and collision warning systems.

The right choice.
With ACLAR Laminates.... What you see is what you get.
ISTANY
Clear ACLAR® laminates make bags that cut inventory control costs...
Bags made with clear ACLAR barrier film laminates let you see what inventory holds in store, without having to open and reseal a single one. You’ll cut lifetime costs for inventory control because you won’t need oversize bags that allow repeated openings and closings. Nor will you need as much time or as many people to inspect transparent bags.
...and provide protection
Bags made with ACLAR laminates have always met MIL-B-22191D Type I requirements for protecting everything from sensitive circuit boards to guns and standard inventory from moisture vapor, water, grease, solvents, acid air, dust and dirt. Now an ACLAR film laminate has become the first barrier material to meet MIL-B-131H Type II specifications for flame-resistant packaging.
Take the guesswork and cost out of inventory control with the premium protection of bags made of ACLAR laminates. For more information, contact Allied-Signal Engineered Plastics, P.O. Box 2332, Morristown, NJ 07962-2332. Phone (201) 4555010 or FAX (201) 455-3507.

The Price of Honor
The World War One Letters of Naval Aviator
Kenneth MacLeish
edited by Geoffrey L. Rossano
The never-before-published letters of First Yale Unit pilot Kenneth MacLeish, the younger brother of renowned poet Archibald MacLeish. Written to his fiancee, the collection covers MacLeish’s entire career, from the time he learned to fly as a student volunteer in March 1917 until his death in combat just three weeks before the war’s end.
MacLeish offers a rare chronicle of flight training and provides fascinating commentary on the aircraft he flew, from the Curtiss F-Boat to the notoriously dangerous Sopwith Camel. His wide circle of friends encompassed most of the pioneers of naval aviation, and he introduces them all, including the U.S. Navy’s first ace David Ingalls and All-American football star “Di” Gates in this unique history. 320 pages. 38 illustrations.

Mk-23 TAS- PROVEN SHIPBOARD SELF
DEFENSE
When the U.S. Navy needs a self-defense acquisition system for its surface combatants and aircraft carriers, it looks to Hughes Aircraft Company’s Mk-23 TAS, a target acquisition system already deployed on more than 40 Navy combatants and high-value ships.
With 360-degree automatic detection, designation, and control, TAS is able to detect cruise, sea-skimming and high-diving missiles. The system ’ s combination of unique logic, threat-evaluation and weapon-assignment software allows multisensor integration and provides multiple designations to the NATO Seasparrow Missile System and the Rolling Airframe Missile System. Through stringent at-sea testing and extensive operational usage, TAS has proven itself both in performance and reliability.
An already developed improvement, which provides three-dimensional information and extended coverage, makes the TAS an ideal candidate for future shipbuilding and fleet modernization well into the next decade.

USS COWPENS CG63
“Victory is the guardian of liberty”
The new AEGIS cruiser, USS COWPENS,
I VVas commissioned March 9, 1991 at Charles- t<)n. South Carolina. On board are FMC-built combat systems that are major elements in the Projection of naval firepower, as well as proaction against multiple threats.
. MK 4l VLS — two 61-cell launchers pro- v'cle safe storage and selective launching of several missile types against air, surface, submarine and inland targets.
MK 45 Naval Guns, fore and aft, fire all ‘ypes of 5-inch 54-caliber ammunition for gunfire support missions and protection against surface and air threats.
These advanced, fast-reacting combat systems stand rcady 24 hours a day to defend America’s forces and help safeguard our nation’s vital interests.
FMC operates one of the largest, most advanced facilities in the world for the production of naval armament. We are proud that our systems serve on the USS COWPENS.
January 1781 — the American Revolution. Brigadier General Daniel Morgan led his American troops against superior British forces in the Battle of Coupens. Morgan’s troops offered stiff resistance followed by brief retreat, then a series offlank attacks from right and left to overwhelm the opponent in less than an hour. Morgan's bait-and-trap maneuvers were creditedfora quick inctory which turned the tide of the tear and led to the British surrender at Yorktoum.
In 1943, the first ship commissioned USS COWPENS (CVL-25) began a distinguished career in WWII, earning a Naty Unit Commendation and 12 battle stars for sendee during nuijor strikes in the Pacific Theatre.

Systems
THE TIMES DEMAND A MISSILE THAT DOES A LOT—FOR A LOT LESS. WHERE DO YOU TURN FDR A SUREFIRE SOLUTION?
The team to trust? McDonnell Douglas Missile Systems Company (MDMSC) and Hughes Aircraft’s Missile Systems Group.
From day one we’ve designed the Navy’s Advanced Interdiction Weapon System (AIWS) with the future in mind. Total Quality Management systems and suppliers are in place to build a multipurpose air-to-surface standoff weapon that’s right for the Navy of the ’90s and beyond. Planned as a family of weapons, AIWS will be adaptable to new needs as they arise, and producible and supportable at the lowest possible cost.
Our experience in weapon systems integration J and support, training systems, depot-level maintenance functions and mission planning systems has already resulted in some of the Navy’s* most successful missile systems—from the Harpoon-1 Maverick and Phoenix to the Tomahawk. With the; McDonnell Douglas/Hughes team at work on the program, the Navy can look forward to another success: AIWS—a reliable standoff capability for decades to come.
