Comparison Tests Prove PATHFINDER/ST Radars See What Other Radars Can’t.
In side-by-side comparison tests, a PATHFINDER/ST display and a conventional radar display were connected to the same radar system. PATHFINDER/ST consistently displayed targets not detected by the conventional display.
PATHFINDER/ST multistage processing analyzes, compares, tests, and sample5 the received signal so that all detected targets, no matter how weak in signal strength, are distinguished from clutter and clearly displayed.

Vertical launchers from FMC give AEGIS fleet a new role.
No other shipboard weapon system exists which can so ably counter all threats-air, surface, subsurface and land-based. Selectively and simultaneously, regardless of weather, 24 hours a day. It’s the Vertical Launching System (VLS)Mk4l, a highly automated precision-strike, long-range weapon system-the most potent of AEGIS weapons that give new meaning to the words, naval presence.
As one of the principal developers of the VLS, FMC’s Naval Systems Division designed the first eight-cell module and produced it for initial firing tests. Now, in the 29-and 6l-cell configurations, it is the major weapon element of AEGIS platforms, enabling the fleet to prevail in high-threat zones of vital interest to our nation.
In addition to manufacture, FMC provides fully integrated logistics support of the VLS. This includes ship integration and installation assistance, provisioning, spares, field service and simulation training systems.
FMC has long operated the largest facility in the world for design, development and production of naval armament.
We are dedicated to the application of new technologies for effective, affordable defense. For more information, write FMC Corporation, Naval Systems Division, Box 59043, 4800 East River Road, Minneapolis, MN 55459-0043.
FMCs automatic gun system offers flexible response, plus a design base for 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- 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.

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 sophisticated systems that give today’s ships such awesome offensive and defensive capabilities.
But maintaining the superiority of today’s surface fleet calls for forward thinking and bold acuon.
To meet the challenge, GE’s gas turbine team is continuously advancing propulsion technology with innovative 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 effectiveness a future of superiority at sea demands.

PROPULSION
The Cincinnati Gear Company nas been making epicyclic gears ®nd gearboxes since 1956. Compact CGCO Marine Epicyclic ^ears are based on the tech- n,cally advanced and service
proven double-helical Stoeckicht epicyclic gear. The most important aspect of the Stoeckicht design is its proven load distribution to multiple planet wheels allowing the coaxial arrangement of the input and the output shaft to be utilized to its greatest advantage.
CGCO epicyclic gears provide efficient and silent transmission of power from all available electric motors, diesel engines, steam turbines, and gas turbine engines. Single and multi-staged units can be supplied with gear ratios to suit all required propeller speeds.
The compact coaxial design of the epicyclic gearbox permits placing the complete propulsion package far astern, greatly increasing crew and cargo hold space. All CGCO epicyclic gears are manufactured, tested and inspected on special machinery built for accuracy and offer years of dependable service. Using a well established and proven manufacturing process, over 25,000 units have been successfully produced by Cinti-BHS.
• Load equalization...floating sunwheel and annulus gear ensure uniform load sharing by three and as many as seven planet wheels.
• Reduced space required... through coaxial design and load sharing between the planet wheels.
• High efficiency...approximately 99% at full load because the Stoeckicht design is subject to only very small friction losses.
• Easy inspection and maintenance... casing is split horizontally or vertically so all bearings and gearings are readily accessible.
• Low noise level...through special gearing geometry and highest quality gear and surface finish.
• Controllable pitch, fixed pitch, and contrarotating propeller designs are available.
• Highest power density of any known drive.

SPERRY MARINE AND THE NAVY
PARTNERS IN REVOLUTIONIZING EQUIPMENT FOR OVER 75 YEARS
Jhe U.S. Navy’s Revolution At Sea is a look ahead at surface combatant j^signs for the 21st century. It aims at designing flexible ship conjurations, modularity that grows with technology, alternate uses of °'Urne, increased data fusion and machinery automation to j^nimize manning. Sperry Marine has developed the technology to *,end that revolution to the bridge . . . today!
Sperry Marine's Integrated Bridge combines RASCAR touchscreen °ntrol radar/ARPA, the ADG autopilot, and our new Voyage ^anagement Station, all integrated by Sperry Marine’s SeaNET dvanced Token Ring Network. The result is the heart of a new r'd9e that offers significant benefits for new ship designs and for ■etrofitting into older ships.
y°w more information is readily available in one location to reamline the Officer of the Deck’s job. Moreover, this information is °nstantly available at other locations throughout the vessel for alter- b ,® control and monitoring stations. Sperry Marine’s Integrated jd9e is ready to grow to keep pace with evolving requirements.
Pgrades can be made at any time to add new navigation equip- enL communications gear, weather sensors, multifunction displays, ngine monitors and gateways; all sharing information with CIC. f| .the information from these new equipments is added to data fwin9 in the Sperry Marine SeaNET. We've made electrical and nctional provisions to assure the Integrated Bridge is flexible and rsatile enough to accept future modifications. This high perfor- Sic£e network is designed to incorporate the Navy’s emerging ^ENET/IEEE 802.5 Token Ring Standard.
^hether it’s the USS DELAWARE in 1911, the modernization of our p ssent surface combatants, or the battle cruiser of the 21st century,
Perry Marine has demonstrated ability to supply the Navy with volutionary technology, customized to exact specifications. Sperry anne, providing leadership since the beginning of the century, ads the way with the next century’s products for the Navy .. . today!

Innovation
As with any maintenance program, the bulk of the time spent on a down plane is spent in diagnosis.
That's why Sanders’ automated test systems are invaluable. Completely automatic and programmable, these units can cut diagnostic time down to minutes. Like a private robotic physician, they can even be programmed to analyze the idiosyncrasies of individual aircraft: fighters, bombers transports, and helicopters.
Used in a regimen of preventative main tenance, our test systems can run an aircraft’s defensive systems through a complete range of simulated threats on the flight line in the hangar or at depot levels.
The benefit is self-evident: full mission readiness.

Sparrow. One missile, many missions.
There isn't a more versatile missile anywhere. Or one more adaptable to new missions.
The latest example: Sparrow capabilities are currently being added to the Air Defense F-16s of the U.S.
Air Force. This same Raytheon-produced updated AIM/RIM-7M version of the Sparrow is already the air-to-air defense system on hundreds of domestic and international F-4s, F-14s, F-15s, and F-18s.
The Sparrow also has important roles with naval and ground forces. The RIM-7M version, which has a slightly
different wing and fin configuration' ^ gives the NATO Seasparrow the abfo iSrr to protect surface units from advan tj0r
aircraft and sea-skimming anti-sh'P
missiles. The Seasparrow is also P(i e|ec duced in a deck-space-saving ., vertical launch configuration for >u hemisphere defense coverage.

On land, either the AIM-7F°r ^

Inner-zone submarine attack is real. That's why the SH-60F CV HELO is such a mean, effective player. Prime systems contractor Sikorsky Aircraft Divison came to Teledyne Systems Company for mission avionics integration. The result is a CV HELO system for the US Navy that says hello, then goodbye to the enemy undersea.
The Avionics Hardware/Software Integrators.
Teledyne's transportable integration facility reduces delivery time. Hardware/Software integration is brought to you, where and when you need it, no matter how your avionics must be configured to do the mission. Lookatthe CV HELOexample. Crewstations are interchangeable. Menu-driven, multiple, common controls/displays provide the interface to avionics subsystems. Communications, navigation, tactical aids, stores management, armament control, and data transfer functions are reliably managed by redundant Teledyne tactical data processors.
Since it is the last line of fleet ASW, CV HELO requires a high probability of mission success. Sikorsky and Teledyne are delivering this success. The ability to integrate mission avionics from system concept through final test has helped make a difference.

But we’ve upgraded it with two powerhouse T700 engines. New avionics. And high-performance dynamics.
Now there’s even an on-board acoustic processor for totally autonomous missions against submarines. Plus superb sonobouy and sonar capabilities.
When the situation gets hot, the SH-2G lets you add critical components. Like dipping sonar.
An array of missiles and special weapons. And more advanced ESM.
All of which help counter increasingly sophisticated threats at sea. And on land.
That’s what it takes to deliver performance. Now. And well into the 21st century.
Fly farther. Fight harder. Let us put you in Kaman today!

Not a bird, not a plane, it’s Super Tillie, more formally known as the A/S 32A-36 crash handling and salvage crane. Shown here during at-sea trials on board the USS Saipan (LHA-2), the four-wheel-drive self-propelled crane is designed to lift boats, aircraft, cargo, and anything else that needs to be moved from Point A to Point B. The machine is 34 feet high, 30 feet long, and 15 feet wide, and can lift up to 70,000 pounds. With an unloaded weight of 90,000 pounds, it can travel at a top speed of seven miles per hour (three miles per hour when loaded). The first delivery to the fleet is scheduled for March, to the USS Wasp (LHD-1).

Not a bird, not a plane, it’s Super Tillie, more formally known as the A/S 32A-36 crash handling and salvage crane. Shown here during at-sea trials on board the USS Saipan (LHA-2), the four-wheel-drive self-propelled crane is designed to lift boats, aircraft, cargo, and anything else that needs to be moved from Point A to Point B. The machine is 34 feet high, 30 feet long, and 15 feet wide, and can lift up to 70,000 pounds. With an unloaded weight of 90,000 pounds, it can travel at a top speed of seven miles per hour (three miles per hour when loaded). The first delivery to the fleet is scheduled for March, to the USS Wasp (LHD-1).

• AN/APS-134 — long range maritime surveillance radar, to detect small targets, like submarine periscopes.
• AN/AAS-36 - 1RDS (Infrared Detecting System), using FL1R 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 and airborne ASW systems.

AROUND THE WORLD.
AND AROUND THE CLOCK.
There are nearly 140 million square miles of ocean.
You need a continuous, accurate position.
You need the 1100 Series GPS conversion kit, and you need it now.
Your 1100 Series lets you track Transit, Omega, or both. Now you can install the 1100 Series upgrade and, when the GPS constellation is complete, shift smoothly into the only satnav system that will provide accurate global positioning, 24 hours a day.
The 1100 Series upgrade was designed to be economical and accurate. Installation is fast, and requires no downtime. Low cost, quick installation and ease of training are just three reasons why to upgrade, now.
And, because it's engineered to accept new technology, it's backed by the Magnavox policy of nonobsolescence. That's the kind of Magnavox planning that led the U.S. Navy to outfit all of its major class combatants with the 1100 Series.
The 1100 Series GPS upgrade will give you the satnav system of the future.

It’s a true amphib. When there’s no foothold on the beach, it’s more than willing to work offshore.
With its V/STOL capability, the AV-8B can travel, fly and fight from amphibious ships, container ships, almost anything a helicopter can land on.
The definition of an air base will never be the same.
This is a sea story with substance. Sea trials have verified the aircraft’s ability to launch straight up with 3,000 pounds of ordnance. Allowed a 600-foot roll, the AV-8B’s off and hunting with a 7,000-pound payload.
Most important, when pinned- down troops need close air support, the AV-8B provides fast relief. It has the most accurate first-pass weapon delivery system of any free world attack jet.
The AV-8B’s exceptional agility and excellent handling characteristics make it effective for fleet defense, surface attack, air-to-air combat and surveillan^ missions as well. And first tests of a night attack version indicate it will be a potent round-the-clod' aircraft.
The AV-8B. “B” as in Big. Bad. Bold. Better.
