ASW.

Anti-submarine warfare and fleet protection are two of Loral's areas of concentration. Our capabilities span the broad range of underseas warfare, including guidance and training. Our technologies cover digital and hydro­acoustic signal processing, recognition, and simulation.

On-going R&D programs at Loral support these technologies and produce a steady stream of component improve­ments that enhance entire systems.

We also bring a bias to action to every project-a management emphasis on "no surprises," a reputation for bring­ing in projects on time, on budget, on spec.

And the same is true whether it's ASW, or self-protection, or C³, or simula­tion, or any of our other chosen areas.

Loral: It's a good synonym for defense electronics.

I PMC's automatic gun system offers flexible response, plus a design basefor the future.

The Mk45 is the most compact, lightweight, reliable 5-inch naval gun ever built. And now in the Mod 1 configuration it is capable of firing highly accurate guided projectiles as well as all conventional 5" 154 ammunition—in any desired sequence from a mixed magazine. It is completely automated.

In addition to GP/conventional round selection, recent modifications include all solid-state controls with built- m test and simulation modes. Using advanced displays, one man can activate the entire Mk45 system to verify operability and readiness, all without moving ammunition. The simulation mode allows crews to Use the working system for fast, effective training.

It’s the all-weather weapon—water-tight, anti-iced,

NBC protected and thoroughly hardened to withstand combat environments. In fact, it’s the only gun mount °f its caliber to pass U.S. Navy barge shock tests.

The advanced Mk45 concept

And we haven’t ignored the future. The Mk45 is now Positioned for even more growth including higher rates °f fire. It will be a multimission weapon capable of countering most sea/land/air threats. It’s happening uow at FMC, where independent R&D is yielding an unproved configuration for the 1990’s and beyond.

“We make Navy gears weighing over 20 tons with tooth accuracy down to 50 millionths of an inch. The finest Swiss watches don’t come anywhere near that.”

John Mezakowski Finish Lathe Operator Lynn, Massachusetts

Fifty millionths of an inch. That’s l/60th the diameter of a human hair. That’s the kind of precise tolerance dedicated GE people like John meet daily in the manufacture of advanced gears for the U.S. Navy. High power density hardened and ground gears that are smaller, lighter and quieter than conventional units. Gears for GE propulsion systems that power sophis­ticated submarines, aircraft carriers, destroyers and other vessels. This dedica­tion to accuracy is the reason GE has been the principal supplier of fully integrated propulsion systems to the U.S. Navy for over 75 years. It’s the reason we’re aboard nearly every class of ship from the smallest auxiliary to the largest super carrier. Our superior quality gives America’s fleet the tech­nical edge to move faster, run quieter, perform more efficiently and cruise longer between overhauls.

Propulsion quality is very real tojohn. He depended on it while in the Navy, and now his son does aboard a GE powered sub. Of quality, John says, “We make the best gears and propulsion systems because we have the right people and equip­ment to do the job. While many of the people who work at Gear Plant today

[INEWS] for America's next generation combat aircraft.

Our ongoing efforts in such areas as sensors, gallium arsenide circuits, high-speed processors, VHSIC and MMIC help ensure that our counter­measures systems continue to stay ahead of whatever threat comes next.

It's enough to scare any radar operator; a scope swarming with bogies. The unnerving thing is that only some of them are real.

Radar deception is just a small part of Sanders' specialties. Our countermeasures systems mislead weapons directed by radio fre­quency, infrared and opto-electronics, protecting jet fighters, bombers, special mission planes, helicopters, ships, tanks and space vehicles.

Rapid Deployment Requires Rapid Deployment Fueling

Fuel, and its accessibility for today’s modern conventional military equipment, is critical to the success of our fighting forces. Willbros Butler Engineers, Inc.,THE COMPANY THAT MAKES IT HAPPEN, is providing system in­tegration and technical guidance to our Armed Forces in the development of a new rapid de­ployment fueling system. This new concept provides means for rapidly unloading fuel from offshore tankers and transporting it in­land for use by both aircraft and ground forces. Under the technical guidance of Willbros Butler Engineers, the project has progressed in record time from concept, to production and acceptance by the U.S. Army for deployment.

Now on active duty.

With the delivery of FI 10 production engines, the Super Tomcat takes a big step forward.

On April 15, 1988, an F-14A Plus made the first earner landing on the U.S.S. Independence and began suitability testing. Active duty air­craft are now in operation at Oceana. Other aircraft have been delivered to Patuxent Rive' and Point Mugu.

During the flight test program, now com­plete, the FI 10 exceeded all performance targets, which means the USN now has the engine it’s teen looking for: shipboard launch* without afterburner; faster acceleration; reduced maintenance costs; 60% more range, one-third more time on station.

More engines are on the way; production¹ on schedule. And the fighter of the future, th* F-14D, gets closer every day.

By doubling transmission speed, the 4.8 data rate moves sensi­tive information faster, decreases long distance transmission charges, even reduces set-up time.

AT&T’s feature-rich STU-III gives you one-button access to its func­tions: Clear Data or Clear Voice; Secure Data or Secure Voice. It ac­commodates up to four indepen­

dent identities and levels of security —and up to 32 crypto-ignition keys. It offers a remote interface to access its functions.

Also, physical security is engi­neered into its design, preventing tampering.

But the most reassuring feature of the AI&T Security-Plus Communi­cations Terminal is the credibility of the company that builds it. A company with more than a century of quality communications experience.

Technologies of Surveillance:

TTs ASW systems, when the naked eye just isn’t good enough.

To patrol an ocean, you need a better pair of eyes. Searching day and night, in fair weather and foul. Sweeping the surface for any sign of trouble. Plus monitoring action below the surface.

For almost 50 years, Texas Instruments has been equipping airborne sea patrols with the “eyes” they need. Since World War II, TI has designed, refined and produced maritime surveillance and ASW systems for both land-based and carrier aircraft.

To see just how far we’ve come since 1941, look at today’s equipment roster:

• AN/APS-137 — 1SAR (Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar); major upgrade of our periscope detecting radar, generating true two­dimensional radar images with

greatly enhanced long-range detection capabilities.

•     AN/APS-134 — long range maritime surveillance radar, to detect small targets, like submarine periscopes.

•     AN/AAS-36 — IRDS (Infrared Detecting System), using FLIR technology invented by TI, for passive search and ship identification.

•     AN/ASQ-81( ) — Advanced Digital MAD, with increased range and five times the reliability.

Today’s advanced technology has evolved from those early systems. And TI will continue refining these existing systems and inventing new ones, with our experience and commitment to R&.D leading the way. That’s why TI

is the leader in developing and producing maritime surveillance airborne ASW systems.

I DAAfA ^Almost overnight the ocean LKMMvM«hasgrowndramatically bigger, and the antisubmarine defense picture im­mensely more complicated. Recent advance­ments in Soviet submarine technology have enabled them to deploy quieter, faster boats. Armed with very-long-range missiles, they now have virtually the whole ocean in which to hide.

What is needed to deal with this new threat is an equally dramatic leap in ASW capability: LRAACA (Long Range Air ASW Capability Air­craft), a platform that will fly farther, with greater tenacity, and with more payload for the most

advanced hunter-killer package in the world.

As an ASW weapons system, Lockheed’s LRAACA is ideal because it will fit into the well- established, worldwide logistical structure of today’s maritime patrol aircraft fleet. Further­more it is suited for a variety of missions from mine laying to antisurface warfare to convoy protection.

Lockheed’s proposed Long Range Air ASW Capability Aircraft promises to be a prac­tical, affordable way to bring a big new problem back down to manageable size.
