SUPER TRACKER
The first fully militarized parallel processor ever to fly is now at work. Aboard the E-2C, Loral ASPRO (Associative Processor) computers allow a single aircraft to keep track of thousands of targets (and possible targets) over a scanning area of 3 million cubic miles.
Another version, for underseas, over- the-horizon targeting, is now in production and has twice as much processing power (100 million operations per second). To date, over 50 systems have been delivered. Like most Loral programs, they came in on spec, on time, on budget.
Loral: first name in defense electronics.
After Years Of Hard Work, She’s First In Her Class.
°n July 4th, United States sea power celebrates the commencement of the future.
It begins with the commissioning of the Arleigh Burke—the first DDG-51 destroyer in the Navy’s Aegis surface combatant program, and the first designed from the keel up for the vertical launching system.
Never before has such an extensive array of sophisticated and technical capabilities been brought together in one ship. Now, the U.S. Navy is in a better position than ever to support President Bush’s decision to maintain a meaningful presence in key regions around the world.
At Martin Marietta, we’d like to salute the U.S. Navy on this special day. The Arleigh Burke may be first in her class, but the high marks go to you.
To us, mission success is the only bottom line.

RROW'S NAVAL TECHNOLOGY
A century ago, Bath Iron Works began a storied tradition of Navy shipbuilding with delivery ol gunboats MACHIAS and CASTINE. The Kennebec River shipbuilding legend grew and was carried around the globe during World War II when BIW produced 82 destroyers in rapid succession. BIW’s record for design and construction of destroyer-class ships is unmatched. Now, the men and women of Maine’s proud shipyard have built the world’s most advanced and survivable surface combatant, the multi-mission AEGIS Guided Missile Destroyer, ARLEIGH BURKE. Equipped with the AEGIS combat system, the Navy's new destroyer can engage supersonic targets with pinpoint accuracy in the most severe threat environments. ARLEIGH BURKE (DDG 51) joins the fleet as a strong deterrent to aggression, capable of protecting U.S. interests on all the world s oceans.

SCIENCE SCOPE
Hughes Aircraft Company’s commitment to cost reduction coupled with quality improvement helps save more than $1 million in a communications satellite program. The commitment involves constantly monitoring and measuring all phases of a program with an eye toward improving quality and reducing costs. In the HS 601 communications satellite program, Hughes recognized substantial savings by replacing time-consuming structural bonds with inexpensive aluminum clips. Other savings were achieved by replacing detailed inspection of incoming parts with verification of only the critical parameters, and by determining which departments needed to sign off on individual engineering drawings, eliminating unnecessary reviews by unaffected departments.
Ajhermal 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 AN/AAQ-16 Hughes Night Vision System (HNVS), have been participating m 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.
A microprocessor simplifies complex welding procedures in a new welding controller. The programmable AC welding controller, developed and built by Hughes and designated the Model HAC-1000, is a microprocessor-based system designed to control complex welding functions via simple walk-through programming. A HELP key provides a built-in operation manual and an OPTIONS key prompts operators through a variety of functions. Four different weld schedules may be pre-programmed, and each sequence may be activated by pressing a button on the front panel. For automated applications, programs may be selected or altered through an RS-232 interface.
AMRAAM’s first ground test launch confirms laboratory analysis and simulations of the missile’s performance when fired with zero initial velocity. In the tests, a next-generation Advanced Medium- Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM) was fired from a standard F-16 aircraft missile rail launcher mounted at a 30-degree elevation from the ground. The Hughes-built AMRAAMs, combined with the TPQ-36A three-dimensional radar, are part of a joint program with Norsk Forsvarsteknologi of Norway to help the Royal Norwegian Air Force create a totally new Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile capability.
Music listeners can hear dramatic 3-dimensional sound from conventional mono and stereo recording or broadcast sources, thanks to a sound reproduction technique developed by Hughes. This Sound Retrieval System (SRS) creates the ambiance and dynamic range of a live performance or studio recording. It retrieves and restores spatial information using real-time processing techniques that, like the human ear, recognize the direction from which a sound originates. Because its circuitry has been reduced to a single microchip, SRS is likely to be incorporated into a wide variety of audio products.

Four cheers for the evolution!
GE Sonar Systems begin another decade at sea.
The commissioning of the Guided Missile Destroyer Arleigh Burke (DDG-51) July 4, 1991 marks the start of the fourth decade of GE sonar systems for U.S. Navy ships.
It builds on three decades of solid evolutionary sonar improvements that led to the AN/SQQ-89 system, the
.... - Navy’s premier surface ASW
1975, DD-963 ,' ,
combat system.
The Arleigh Burke’s SQQ-89 ASW combat suite features the AN/SQS-53G hull-mounted sonar, the AN/SQR-19 tactical towed array sonar, the AN/SQQ-28 IAMPS Mk III sonar signal processor and the Mkl 16 Mod 7 ASW control system.
The all-digital SQS-53C battle
iqqi nnr.ni group sonar has one-half the
' electronics footprint and twice the
performance of previous hull-mounted sonars. The engineering development model ol the SQS-53C completed OPEVAL/TECHEVAL aboard the USS Stump (DD-978) and in its most recent Mediterranean deployment significantly outperformed any previous sonar system.
The Arleigh Burke is the latest of more than 170 ships which have or will have the GE SQS-26, SQS-53 or SQQ-89 sonar systems on board. More than 40 of the SQQ-89 systems have been delivered and are now at sea and exceeding performance goals.
GE is prime contractor and system design agent for this first fully integrated ASW combat system.
The evolution continues.

Collins Navstar Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers are an overwhelming choice of the U.S. military. Today, they are on everything from Army ground vehicles to aircraft carriers. Supersonic fighters to submarines. And tactical cruise missiles to helicopters. In all, Collins GPS is on almost 100 different vehicle types. And government plans call for adding over 100 more.
Through aggressive applications of advanced technology, we’ve reduced the weight and cost of our GPS while increasing its reliability.
And we won the Miniaturized Airborne GPS Receiver (MAGR) contract to produce units for space- constrained military aircraft like the F/A-18, AV-8B, F-15E and AH-64A Apache through a non development item procurement.
So don't be misled. One name in GPS equipment still ranks high above the rest. Collins GPS, standard issue for the U.S. military and
