“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

At last, there’s a family of lightweight connec­tors that can stand up to just about anything- highly corrosive environments, blistering heat, arctic cold, extreme EMI/RFI exposure, crushing external forces. There’s never been anything like Deutsch composite connectors.

The closest thing yet to corrosion-proof connectors.

cal to a new connector that’s fresh off the assembly line. And how do they perform? After three years of continuous salt spray tests, the electri­cal continuity of a Deutsch composite connector has been totally unaffected. And still the test goes on.

Heavyweight performance from lightweight connectors.

Deutsch DG123 cylindrical composite coring tors, as well as our ABC rectangular comp°^sy: connectors, weigh up to 36% less than compart aluminum connectors. They can make a very substantial reduction to your total installed weight, yet they meet or exceed the performan^c of aluminum in all key criteria. DG123 and ABC offer weight savings without compromise.

Composite connectors can take the heat.

And the cold. They operate continuously in temperature extremes from — 85°Fto +347°F. When subjected to a 2,0W flame, Deutsch composite connectors dem⁰^ strated no loss of electrical continuity duringy¹ first six minutes, and did not support combustio during the entire 20 minute test. There was also n sign of bum-through or toXi^c or noxious fumes.

Actors are at their best ^,jl^ at their worst.

Outstanding EMI/RFI protection.

DG123 cylindrical connectors offer backshell-to-backshell shielding that meets or exceeds current state- of-the-art requirements. The metalization pro- y^ies redundant, conductive paths on both the j^ide and outside of the connector and backshell.

Mk45:

the gun that delivers.

FMCs automatic gun system offers flexible response, plus a design base for thefuture.

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 5'754 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- in 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 of its caliber to pass U.S. Navy barge shock tests.

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

F-14APlus: Nowon 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 carrier 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 River 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 been looking for: shipboard launches without after-burner; faster acceleration; reduced maintenance costs; 60% more range; one-third more time on station.

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

Keeping the Promise

THE DEMAND

The challenge of the long range and support requirement in naval strategy; the tactical commitments of battlefield support; the safety, comfort, capacity, range and speed needs of civil transport. These are just some of the demands which must be met by rotary wing aircraft. Demands which could be re­garded by some as conflicting.

Jointly Agusta and Westland formed E.H. Industries Limited to marry these demands into one helicopter programme. A program­me with its own international management company.

ADVANCED IMAGE ART

A helicopter which is capable of meeting the growing demand for safety, capacity, perform­ance, range, speed, reliability, and flexibility, in a truly cost effective manner. The demand has grown from the needs of both the Civil and the Military for maritime and land-based operations to provide a response which, in concept and execution, will satisfy all and compromise none.

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.

Exploring new depths in sonar and signal technology

Since Martin Marietta entered naval systems devel­opment, one focus has been underwater technology and its application to undersea warfare. This work is directed at developing, testing and demonstrating advanced sensory, control and signal processing sys­tems and underwater laser systems to help the Navy- its surface vessels, sub­marines and aircraft-detect, track and discriminate between undersea targets with unparalleled accuracy and speed.

The point is, we’ve got to protect our information, and still keep life-cycle costs down.

For a growing number of govern­ment agencies, that means secure phones with nothing less than a

4.8    Kb/s capability

That’s why AT&T has developed what is now the only dual rate 2.4 and

4.8     Kb/s secure phone on the market: the AW Security-Plus Communica­tions Terminal (STU-III).

AT&T’s terminal is ready today to protect your secure communication, and with a design that is easy and cost-effective to upgrade. Looking ahead, this assures that improve­ments in voice processing, now un­der development at AT&T Bell Laboratories, can be integrated into existing AT&T terminals. The result: reduced life-cycle costs.

Unlike 2.4 Kb/s equipment, AT&T’s 4.8 Kb/s transmission offers a major advantage: improved voice quality/voice recognition levels. This provides extra assurance that you are connected with the right party and reduces the strain of a lengthy secure conversation.

The AT&T Security-Plus Communications Terminal (STU-III): right for today, ready for tomorrow.

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

AW’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 indepen­dent identities and levels of se^cU —and up to 32 crypto-ignition It offers a remote interface to its functions.

Also, physical security is ^el neered into its design, preven tampering.

But the most reassuring f^eat of the AW Security-Plus Comm¹ cations Terminal is the credible the company that builds it. A comp with more than a century of communications experience.

•J^f°^rtnati°n Technology: People are visual animals. The 'dlv ^Unt ^formation a computer display can convey rap- V I^s reduced with exclusively alphanumeric formats, jcet ^{IS Use}^ because it is unambiguous, but it is still sub­misinterpretation. Symbology alone is insufficient

One display type or format will not fulfill the full range of the user’s needs. More than 40 years ago, it was pro­posed that different displays were needed for three differ­ent purposes: monitoring, tactical evaluation, and mea­surement. A wide range of specific experiments was conducted to support this point of view. A simple color coding scheme that is still used was also presented.⁹

A logical and visual flow through successive hues exists in spectral color series. Hue sequences can provide a sense of continuity that contributes to comprehension and mem­ory. Color coding is generally accepted as a powerful means to enhance display discrimination. It is potentially faster and promotes fewer errors but is affected by display density. If one adds color but clutters the display, then performance gets worse, not better.

Psychological blocks can also prevent full user interac­tion. The proper pacing of response time to operator ac­tions may prevent cognitive interruptions.

Fitted to a vessel even as small as 3 50 tons, the lew Plessey COMTASS (Compact Towed Array Sonar ^stem) gives ultra-sensitive performance.

COMTASS is totally passive and operates at an ■%emely low frequency, so the target is never alerted.

It weighs only 8 tons and needs no hull |^enetration,so it can be fitted above or below deck in ^Ss than a day.

SMALL THINGS CAN HIDE BIG PROBLEMS.

Some of the smallest creatures in the ocean make the most noise. More n°^lS than most man-made vessels. That puts unprecedented demands upon defens electronics surveillance instruments to flawlessly detect quiet threats, like submarines, and differentiate them from countless other distracting sounds.

As a versatile prime contractor, DRS designs, develops and manufactures systems for a variety of applications: sonar signal processors, acoustic video displays, mission recorders and on-board trainers.

Currently operational on hundreds of U.S. and allied naval ships and ^aircra.ⁿ'_jty DRS systems are consistently chosen because they are unparalleled in serisiti and sophistication.         _uS

Our reputation for getting the job done on time and within budget has made a growing force in defense electronics. In fact, you won’t find a stronger supp¹^ of ASW defense, intelligence and surveillance products. And you won’t overlo big problems because of small distractions.

Software.

Fuel for mission success.

Regardless of mission or platform, software is the fuel that powers your defense applications. Today, the trend in software development is toward integration, fault tolerance, trans­portability and maintainability. As a consequence, software development should not be restricted by the hardware, the language or even the architecture of a single family of processors.

Control Data’s software development teams aren’t limited to writing programs for just our own hardware. We have the fluency and flexibility to adapt to different structures and methodologies—choosing only those best suited to the application rather than the hardware. For more than 30 years, we have helped meet challenges in many mission-critical areas: systems engineering, real-time distributed systems, algorithmic development, communications, networking and more.

Consider these accomplishments: Our development teams are involved in such software intensive applications as ATARS, PAVE PAWS, Cobra Judy, BMEWS and F-14D Global Executive. Our work with the U.S. Navy as prime contractor for the Ada Language System helps support the STARS initiatives. Our capabilities in multiprocessor tech­nology and communications enable us to develop software for DEC VAX® environments and UNISYS® hardware as well as our own CYBER systems.

Control Data’s Government Systems Group has the experience and expertise to provide total support, from mission analysis to field service. Our computer-aided software engineering processes and background in software reuse help us offer you a lower cost per line of code. We have the capability to manage competitive procurements or the flexibility to offer complete systems with single vendor responsibility.

Our staff of software specialists is ready to discuss your software needs with you. Please call 612/853-5000. Or write Control Data’s Government Systems Group, P.O. Box O, HQF500, Minneapolis, MN 55440.

•                                                                          Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) - Enables free-ranging, unmanned maneuverability around obstacles and over uneven surfaces to deliver the goods.

•                                                                          Autonomous Land Vehicle (ALV) - Prototype required more power and speed... achieved by repowering with proven Caterpillar 3208T Engine.

•                                                                          Component Development - Specialized equipment like the Spade, precision engineered to anchor and stabilize the Abrams

Recovery Vehicle during tank recovery missions.

These are just a few examples of Caterpillar innova­tive technology. Equipped with the most advanced technical facilities in the industry, Caterpillar offers the complete spectrum of R & D capabilities... from basic and applied research through concept, design, prototype manufacturing, testing and production of specialized equipment and components.
