Seawolf To Seawolf,
The Proud Tradition Continues
Experience under the sea. Submarine propulsion and ships service turbine generator experience. GE has more of it than anyone. It’s why our Company is eminently qualified to design, manufacture and test these critical systems for the SSN 21 Seawolf. In 1957, seatrials of the first nuclear powered .S>azrw//heralded another era of GE contributions to the Silent Service. Since then, the Company has continued to pioneer advanced systems aboard every class of submarine including the latest 688’s.
SSN 688 Submarines, A Technical Standard
The entire Class relies on GE systems for both propulsion and ships service electrical demands. Their reliability is extraordinary. In fact, since the commissioning of the Los Angeles in 1976, these systems endured the equivalent of hundreds of years of service without a single ship coming offline for an at-sea failure. Why? For a number of good reasons. First, GE engineers extrapolate the best ideas from existing technology and proven hardware during design and manufacture, while paying particular attention to key Navy criteria: reliability, noise, size, weight, performance, maintainability and accessibility. Then they exhaustively test each system under shipboard conditions before shipment.
On-Time Delivery, Worldwide Service
GE demonstrated construction efficiency, too, by delivering these 688 propulsion and SSTG systems to shipyards ahead of schedule. After installation, GE provides life cycle support through service facilities in every major Navy port in the U.S., and in major ports worldwide. Of course, factory experts are on-call 24 hours a day, too. Through this service team, continued evolutionary advances are made available to upgrade the existing fleet. Such upgrades aboard 688’s permit them to remain at sea years longer between overhauls.
Into The 21st Century
The heritage Edison began with the first shipboard power generation system continues at GE Naval & Drive Turbine Systems. Today, we apply the resources of our $50 billion dollar Company to develop advanced propulsion and ships service systems. It’s the critical difference GE engineers will rely on to advance the Navy mission aboard the next generation of Seawolf.

SCIENCE SCOPE
A field-proven infrared night vision system protected international shipping and the U.S. fleet during the Persian Gulf crisis. The Hughes Aircraft Company Night Vision System (HNVS) was rushed into service aboard U.S. Navy Light Airborne Multi-Purpose System SH-2F helicopters to perform surface surveillance. The Hughes-built HNVS, designated the AN/AAQ-16, detects very small differences in heat and produces a TV-like picture. Deliveries have begun for a pod-mounted version of the system for the Navy’s F/A-18 Hornet aircraft.
A one-man portable, weapon is designed to maximize the gunner’s survivability. The new weapon consists of a lightweight infrared homing guided missile and a command launch unit connected by a fiber optic communication link. The gunner can launch the missile, then, while in a protected position, use the communication link to update the missile aimpoint in flight. He can also fire from a concealed position and lock onto a target after launch. The system’s imaging infrared focal plane array seeker makes the weapon highly accurate day and night or in smoke or haze. Hughes has demonstrated the weapon concept, scoring 14 hits in 17 launches.
An advanced satellite net work will increase the speed of financial transactions for a nationwide financial services firm. The 2000 terminal network, being implemented by Hughes for Edward D.
Jones and Co., will employ Personal Earth Stations, two-way Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) products that permit communications between a central hub and an almost unlimited number of remote terminals. The system will not only move all data via satellite, it will also allow the firm to transmit live television programming to each of its offices. The video capability will be used for product and program introductions, training, and in direct sales applications.
New applications of gallium arsenide technology will improve the performance of satellite communications receivers. Hughes is developing a new technology, called high electron mobility transistors (HEMT), for the next generation of advanced space communication equipment. HEMT devices are built on an indium phosphide substrate with alternating layers of aluminum indium arsenide and gallium indium arsenide. Laboratory tests indicate a factor of 15 improvement in the sensitivity of receivers using this new technology. Improved sensitivity will reduce the size ot receiving antennas required by communications satellites, lowering their weight and their manufacturing and launch costs.
State-of-the-art air defend systems built by Hughes protect 37 percent of the free world’s population. The Air Defense Ground Environment (ADGE) systems, designed by Hughes for 23 nations, network operations centers, ground-based and airborne sensors, surface-to-air missile bases, and air bases into real-time command and control systems. ADGE systems identify all aircraft approaching their nation s borders, display the aircraft’s altitude, speed, and course, and electronically interrogate the aircraft to determine its identity. Future ADGE systems will include a new distributed architecture that will allow them to use more mobile and transportable elements, as well as off-the-shelf commercial computers, for more cost-effective operation.

This new construction method meant that the Raytheon-developed and -produced AN/SQS-56 sonar, vital to this Meko 200 class frigate’s antisubmarine mission, was delivered housed in a single, completely integrated module. Once lowered into place through a deck opening, all the system needed was to be bolted down and to have its electrical connections hooked up. The Functional Unit System enabled the shipyard to install thirty completely functional weapons and electronics
The Yavuz's SQS-56 will enable her to locate and classify targets in either the passive or active mode. The system is compact and easy to operate, and has low life-cycle costs. \fet its detection ranges have consistently been the maximum possible under existing environmental conditions. More than 100 of these sonars are already being used by U.S. and foreign naval ships ranging from 720 to 3,600 tons.

Science Teacher Fred Holtzclaw Has Successfully Created Energy In a\. Classroom.
In the nearly 20 years that Mr. Holtzclaw has been teaching high school science in Tennessee, he’s learned a lot about energy. How to impart enthusiasm, for instance. The hard work needed to overcome inertia. And most difficult of all, what to do about burn-out.
He’s not alone. Everyday, teachers all over the country face the same challenges.
That’s why Martin Marietta is helping to underwrite a new regional Academy for Teachers of Science and Math at the University of Tennessee. It’s an intensive program of study and discussion for Martin Marietta Fellows; outstanding educators in all grade levels. Through the Academy, the private sector, government and academia are all joining together to support a critical educational initiative by President Bush.
It’s important to help keep things moving in the classroom, and teachers like Fred Holtzclaw are the right place to start. If we want to fire-up the masterminds of tomorrow, the best thing we can do is
keep our outstanding teachers energized today.

Earlier this year, the U.S. Naval Institute sponsored a Warfighting Essay Contest. With the world scene changing rapidly, we challenged the hands-on people to tell us how they envision future conflicts in the air, on and under the surface of the oceans, and in the pursuit of naval objectives on land. The gunfighters responded—96 in all. We heard from fighter pilots, destroyer skippers, mud Marines, submariners, and more—as well as an Ageis cruiser's wardroom, a carrier group staff, and a destroyer squadron staff. Many of those contributions are published here. Others will appear in future issues of Proceedings.

Origins of the Maritime Strategy
The Development of American Naval Strategy, 1945 1955
By Michael A. Palmer
The U.S. Navy's maritime strategy of the 1980s is commonly viewed as an innovative nj concept designed to meet America's most recent defense needs. Michael Palmer shows the book, however, that the country's maritime strategy actually originated more than to years ago in the strategic planning of naval thinkers after World War II.
This volume is the only book to date to specifically discuss these postwar naval plans n clear, concise manner. In pointing out the dangers of keeping good strategy secret, it arg” the need for public discourse about strategy.

DROP IN ANYTIME.
The oceans are alive with potentially hostile submarines. Silent, stealthy, deep, they wait patiently for the order to do us harm.
For more than 20 years Sanders has been listening to the ocean and understanding its secrets. Our ASW systems, both active and passive, give submarines no rest, no matter how silently they run, or how deep they dive.
Sanders’ low-frequency, active sonar systems particularly unwelcome to enemy submarine captains. Both effective and economical, they are just one example of our commitment to staying on top of the threat and yet under budget.
No matter what kind of hostile submarines are in the neighborhood, we help make sure they don’t drop in unannounced.
“At Avondale we always make the right kind of splash!”
Aii of us who work for Avondale Industries, Inc. take pride in the quality of our workmanship.
When we send a ship down the ways, we know that ship will make the right kind of splash, not only on launching day but throughout her seagoing career.
These days, we’re putting our expertise in modular ship construction to good use in other industries.
Avondale is diversifying, entering such fields as modular construction of utility plants and prefabrication of steel bridges.
Our new customers are discovering what our maritime clients already know...
Avondale not only is outstanding on the ways but in every way.
Avondale...the nation’s leader in marine and industrial fabrication!

Their success and safety depends on your packaging and ACLAR® Fluoropolymer Film
\
Every packager of moisture-sensitive electronics, military, -communications, and aerospace components knows ACLAR fluoropolymer film from Allied-Signal as the ultimate flexible, transparent, moisture barrier.
But beyond ACLAR’s barrier properties are other characteristics vital to the safe and successful fulfillment of difficult missions.
- Flame Retardency. ACLAR receives excellent ratings in flame spread and vertical burn tests conducted by UL, NASA, and FAA test procedures, by not supporting combustion.
- Low Outgassing. ACLAR meets deep space requirements ot non-contaitiination of critical components due to outgassing.
- LOX Compatibility. ACLAR meets all NASA requirements for liquid oxygen (LOX) compatibility as well as for other hypergols.
- Chemically Inert. ACLAR will not react with most
chemicals.
- ToughnessT'ACLAR has sufficient strength and durability as an unsupported film for many packaging applications.
- Processed Enhancements. In addition to ACLAR's inherent properties, other performance benefits derive from advanced processing—
Stef/c Dissipative. Treated ACLAR satisfies NASA requirements for electrostatic discharge.
Ultra-Clean. When ultra-cleanliness is required,
ACLAR can be processed to meet your most stringent specifications.
Laminations. ACLAR can be laminated to other materials to meet all requirements of MIL Spec 22191 Type 1 for transparent high moisture barrier military packaging.
For more information and technical data about ACLAR fluoropolymer film, contact your Allied-Signal Performance Film Specialist today.

WHAT IT REALLY NEEDS IS A NEW SET OF WINGS.
Modern naval operations are inconceivable without air defense. It is a tenet that has been accepted ever since Billy Mitchell sank a battleship with his bombers in 1921. All great naval confrontations since then have been decided from the air.
This is still true. Today a fleet can no more deploy without air defense than it could without seaworthy hulls.
But the effectiveness of naval air defense is a transitory state. The Corsair that swept the skies of the Pacific in 1944 gave way to the jet of the Korean War. And the Phantom of the ’60s stepped aside for the Tomcat.
Almost overnight, the world has changed dramatically. As a consequence, the need to keep the
sea-lanes open is more vital than ever, and therefore so is the Navy’s need for unyielding air defense. Today’s carrier-based fighter, built with yesterday’s technology, will soon become obsolete.
The next U.S. Naval fighter should take advantage of stealth technology. It should have greater range, longer on-station time, lower manpower requirements, and come at an affordable cost. And it should beat any new fighter that will come onto the world market in the next few decades.
It should be the F-22. It’s what our Navy needs to protect the seas in the 21st century.

years. We’ve been dropping the price just as long.
Today, Magnavox sonobuoys give the U.S. Navy more than twice the detection capability — at half the 1953 cost. Advances gained through technology have allowed us to cut costs, yet maintain the highest quality in detection capability. Magnavox sonobuoys find the underwater threat.
decades Magnavox has competitively bid and manufactured every major production sonobuoy the Navy has deployed. We’ve built four million to date, with each designed to feature flexibility and unsurpassed performance.
Magnavox is the only company specializing in both “wet end” and “dry end” ASW technology. We understand the synergy between the data- gathering sonobuoy and its airborne acoustic signal processor.
After all, we produce nearly half of the “wet end” and 75 percent of the “dry end” signal processing equipment used in our nation’s P-3 aircraft.

Mk 45: more gun for the 90’s.
The Mk 45 Gun System is, and will continue to be, a major element in the projection of naval power. It serves the Navy and Marine forces in limiting the escalation of conflicts, guarding vital sea lanes and protecting American lives around the world, while contributing to the point defense of surface combatants.
Now, a significant upgrade of the Mk 45 is in development. It’s happening at FMC in a program to provide the Navy with an advanced design based on the current Mk 45.
With new materials and redesign of major components, the performance and mission coverage °f the MK 45 will change.
Among the many improvements: increased elevation and rate of fire to counter airborne threats; a new loading system designed for easier, less costly maintenance; extensive use of composites to control system weight; a new shield with more room, configured to minimize radar signature; and significant overall improvement in reliability/maintainability/ availability.
Additionally, with many of the new subsystems designed for back-fit and forward-fit, all current Mk 45 systems can be upgraded.
Extended life, lower cost, a better gun.
This is our mission, to provide the means for effective, affordable defense. FMC Corporation, Naval Systems Division, Box 59043, 4800 East River Road, Minneapolis, MN 55459-0043.

A design with life cycle advantages
Seawolf is the first major underseas weapons system designed on a computer, and specifically for modular construction. But this design goes beyond just original construction.
Developed with our exclusive threedimensional solid graphics system, the
design also factors in Seawolfs life cycle needs in maintenance and logistics support.
It’s a design for now, and one we can keep current through every change during the ship’s lifetime.
And it’s a design our Navy can rely on to meet its challenges of the future.
