- Company Profile:
The Soviet exoatmospheric system using the Dog House and Cat House phased-array radars for long-range acquisition. The system might also use the Hen House early warning radars for long-range acquisition. Target and interceptor tracking is performed by mechanically-steered dish antennas.
Industry:Military
The science of developing/altering and applying materials to obtain a resultant molecular structure with desirable physical properties and performance characteristics. (See Structures.) Also includes applying state-of-the-art advanced materials in the design of new SDS components and end items.
Industry:Military
A guidance system designed to project a missile over a predetermined path, wherein the path of the missile is adjusted after launching by devices wholly within the missile and independent of outside information. The system measures and converts accelerations experienced to distance traveled in a certain direction.
Industry:Military
A radar system with a transmitter and several receivers, all separated. A special case is bistatic radar. An advantage of multistatic radar over monostatic radar is that even if transmitters, which might be detected by the enemy when operating, are attacked, receivers in other locations might not be noticed and might thereby escape attack.
Industry:Military
1. (Sensor) The results of processing sensor measurements to produce object reports of interest to the system. 2. (Material) The conceptualization, initiation, design, development, testing, contracting, production, deployment, logistic support, modification, and disposal of weapons and other systems, supplies or services to satisfy DoD needs in support of military missions.
Industry:Military
All system equipment required to support the ground and flight phases of the mission. Support equipment includes aerospace ground equipment (AGE), maintenance ground equipment (MGE), transportation and handling (T&H) equipment, and equipment used to support system deployment (i.e., assembly tools and fixtures, test and checkout equipment, personnel support and protection equipment).
Industry:Military
Particulate and electromagnetic radiation emitted from atomic nuclei in various nuclear processes. The important nuclear radiations, from the weapons standpoint, are alpha and beta particles, gamma rays, and neutrons. All nuclear radiations are ionizing radiations, but the reverse is not true; x-rays, for example, are included among ionizing radiations, but they are not nuclear radiations since they do not originate from atomic nuclei. (See Ionizing Radiation and X-Rays.)
Industry:Military
A specific program end item with its own identity (e.g., B-1B Bomber).
Industry:Military
That portion of the earth's atmosphere, generally below 40 km altitude.
