Identification Notes on the Gyrojet Weapons System

Journal of the Forensic Science Society, 1967
A recently developed weapons system is described, along with operating details and identification notes. The projectile utilized in the system described is a spin-stabilized rocket fired through a smooth bore. Identification of a fired projectile as having been fired from a particular weapon may be effected with relative ease through a comparison of ...

Nuclear weapons identification system

1996 IEEE Nuclear Science Symposium. Conference Record, 2002
A nuclear weapons identification system (NWIS) has been under development at the Oak Ridge Y-12 plant since 1984. NWIS employs active neutron interrogation to obtain a variety of time and frequency analysis signature to identify nuclear weapons in containers.

Weapon System Selection

Human Factors: The Journal of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, 1962
A method is described which aids in the selection of the more effective weapon system within some physical limitations in a future time period. An example of a Naval Air Attack System is given. After the system and its functions are defined, the performance of the men and equipment in the system is related to the accomplishment of the system's ...

Systems Engineering and Weapon System Management

IRE Transactions on Military Electronics, 1959
Weapon System Management is a term in common use. The author describes some of the problems encountered in developing complete air weapons for combat use. The design problems caused by introduction of jet engines, missiles, and complex electronic systems, in the post-World War II period engendered a developmental pattern which emphasized the need for ...

Weapon-System Cost Analysis

Operations Research, 1956
A method of estimating cost inputs for weapon-systems analyses is discussed. The major characteristics of the method are (1) Total cost concept, which provides for accumulation of “support” as well as “direct” costs to the tactical unit of capability (e.g., wing or squadron in the case of the Air Force) (2) Distinction between investment and annual ...

Reliability prediction of weapon systems

2015 Conference on Power, Control, Communication and Computational Technologies for Sustainable Growth (PCCCTSG), 2015
This paper presents the reliability prediction methodology for a missile system in early phase of development based on the field test data of its subsystems is. The categorization of subsystems based on their functioning characteristics and selection of appropriate statistical distribution for each system is also given here. The accuracy of reliability

Modelling of weapon system effects

Mathematics and Computers in Simulation, 1985
Abstract The need for and scope of modelling of weapon effects is introduced. Depending on the intended application weapon models may be specific, that is, represent a particular build of weapon, or generic, representing a general weapon class having like characteristics. The models may be all-embracing in scope spanning the reliability, carriage and

Weapon system planner's guide

IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management, 1967
This paper describes a model that stores, tracks and properly relates judgments concerning systems; shows the impact of these judgments; permits real-time iteration of planning problems to facilitate the assessment and selection of system candidates for development. Criteria are threat, types of war, policy objectives, functions, systems contributions,
