Advanced imaging technologies find aircraft flaws

Article Abstract:

The Air Force's Non Destructive Inspection Facility (NDIF), located at McClellan AFB, represents the Air Force's attempt to tie its many aircraft inspection techniques together at a single location. Imaging processes used at the facility include neutron radiography, real-time X-ray radiography and ultrasonic scanning. Neutron radiography can uncover the existence of hydrogen, which indicates corrosion, in aircraft components.

Q-70: redefining commercial off-the-shelf for the U.S. Navy

Article Abstract:

The US Navy has accepted the use of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) computing products for its information systems. The Navy's contract with Loral Defense Systems Eagan for the AN/UYQ-70 next-generation tactical workstation demonstrates this acceptance. The Q-70, which incorporates the best available COTS components, may be the most open and flexible product Loral has produced. The workstation is described.

Information empowerment: the key force multiplier

Article Abstract:

The delivery of accurate, timely, secure intelligence data to US and allied warfighters is vital to the success of any military mission. DEC, in cooperation with Oracle and PRC, developed the Multiple Level Secure (MLS) Releasability prototype intelligence information system and displayed it at the Defense Dept's 1995 Joint Warrior Interoperability Demonstration. The system is described.
