This report responds to a Congressional request that DoD assess industrial capabilities needed to produce heavy bomber aircraft in the future. An Executive Summary version of this report was forwarded by the Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition and Technology) to the Congress in July 1995, at which time the Under Secretary indicated that a more detailed final report would be provided in sixty days. This final report provides a more detailed analysis of industry's capabilities to produce...

Czochralski (Cz) crystal pulling has been the predominant method used for preparing silicon single crystal for the past twenty years. The fundamental technology used has changed little. However, great strides have been made in learning how to make the crystals bigger and of better quality at ever increasing productivity rates. Currently charge sizes of 50 kg of polycrystal silicon are being used for production and crystals up to ten inches in diameter have been grown without major difficulty....

Intended to train German fighter pilots, this silent WWII gun camera film shows Luftwaffe kills of Allied bomber aircraft. Almost all German and Allied fighters carried 16mm cameras to record and verify kills, and help improve overall tactics. They were often processed in the field and screened within a short time, both by intelligence officers and by air crews. The "flashes" in the footage indicate the use of tracer ammunition. The film starts with a card at (:08) that says...

Study requirements: in response to the requirements of the FY95 Authorization and Appropriations Acts, TASC, a leader in industrial analysis for military systems, performed a study of industry's current and future capability to design, develop, and produce bomber aircraft. The study is the result of concern on the part of both the Congress and the Department of Defense that the coming end of B-2 production could jeopardize the nation's ability to produce bombers in the future. TASC's approach...

Two years ago, Congress and the Administration agreed to halt procurement of B-2 bombers after funding 20 aircraft. The Republican victory in the 1994 congressional elections that gave them control of the House of Representatives, and the iron triangle of mutual interests formed by the Air Force, Northrop-Grumman and its subcontractors, and members of the key House defense committees whose districts benefit from B-2 spending, however, have revived the issue of further B-2 procurement despite...

Carbon nanotubes, elongated molecular tubes with diameters of nanometers and lengths in microns, hold great promise for material science. Hopes for super strong light-weight material to be used in spacecraft design is the driving force behind nanotube work at JSC. The molecular nature of these materials requires the appropriate tools for investigation of their structure, properties, and formation. The mechanism of nanotube formation is of particular interest because it may hold keys to...

When World War II began with such suddenness in December 1941, the United States found itself sorely lacking in equipment, weapon technology, and delivery systems. This void spurred the greatest war mobilization ever undertaken. Numerous efforts were begun to ensure that U.S. fighting forces around the world were equipped with capable and reliable weapon systems and munitions. The design, development, and production of the Mk 13 aircraft-launched torpedo by the Naval Torpedo Station in Newport,...

The maintenance problem is one of the major bottlenecks which impede a high state of alert for SAC bomber forces. It has manifested itself in the small number of aircraft on short-notice alert and in the substantial time it has taken to bring the remaining aircraft to an alert status. In the past, this did not degrade SAC's deterrent strength to an unacceptable level, since the enemy's first-strike capabilities were so limited that a good many SAC bombers would have been able to take off even...

A measure has been devised for comparing the effectiveness of fighters in the approach phase of a fighter bomber encounter. The approach phase is defined as the portion of the flight between the instant of detection of the bomber by the fighter and the instant that the fighter begins firing. If the relative fire control and fire power between fighter and bomber is the same as between fighters and bombers of World War II; if the tactics between fighters and bombers are the same as World War II;...

With the end of the cold war, the Air Force redefined the role of tts bomber force from one focused on nuclear war to one equipped to perform a variety of conventional missions. This redefinition is refiectod in the Bomber Roadmap, wbich was issued by the Air Force in June 1992. In response to a request from the former Chalan, House Committee on Armed Services, GAO reviewed the conventional capabilities currently available in the strategic bomber force and assessed the Air Force's plans,...

This silent WWII German newsreel shows long range German bomber aircraft making strikes against Allied shipping in the Atlantic sea lanes near Ireland. In 1940, these "back door" raids were commonplace and costly to both sides. On one raid in July of that year for example, the Luftwaffe destroyed five ships in one convoy and damaged five other ships and two destroyers while sustaining the loss of 28 aircraft -- some of them shot down in the heavily-guarded English Channel. The...

On 23 September 2014, a B-52H bomber at high altitude north of Guam accomplished an aviation first the release of a winged, precision aerial mine (fig. 1). The inert, orange and white GBU-62B(v-1)/B Quickstrike-ER (extended range) separated cleanly from the B-52, rolled, and three seconds after release, the BSU-104 wings deployed, transforming a free-fall munition into a medium range weapon. Under command from the attached Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) tail kit, the weapon flew around 40...

Almost three years ago, Congress agreed to halt the procurement of B-2 bombers after funding 20 aircraft. The Clinton FY'96 defense budget did not include money for additional bombers, and the Administration remained firmly opposed to building more B-2s during congressional hearings. However, the FY'96 defense authorization and appropriations bills passed by the Congress and signed by the President contain an additional $493 million in funding for the B-2 This paper examines the multiple...

The problem of allocating two types of aircraft (bombers and fighters) among three different air tasks (counter air, air defense, and support of ground operations) in a multi strike campaign is analyzed as a two sided war game. It is assumed that a bomber can be used in either the counter air or ground support operations, while a fighter can be used in either the air defense or ground support roles. That is, bombers and fighters have one task-ground support-in common. Optimal employment during...

The bomber has occupied the center of Air Force doctrine since the advent of airpower redefined power projection. In 1926 the US Army s Training Regulation no. 440-15, Fundamental Principles for the Employment of the Air Service, stated that airpower should be used offensively, primarily to secure the control of the air, and, secondarily, to disrupt and delay enemy communications and ground establishments. 1 The primary function became known as air superiority. Even during the early days of...

Aerial refueling capabilities are an essential enabler of U.S. power projection and other critic at national missions. OPERATIONS ENDURING and IRAQI FREEDOM (OEF and OIF) could not have happened without these aerial refueling capabilities.

Suicide terrorism is growing in popularity as an extremely violent tactic that many terrorist organizations are using to advance their aims. The modern use of this tactic began in December 1981, has increased in frequency to over 600 attacks per year, and has spread to over 30 countries. Fifteen identifiable campaigns account for 98 percent of all suicide attacks. The relatively sudden increase in this lethal form of terrorism has lead governments, leaders, scholars, and others to search for...
