Excerpt: (U) Mission Description: (U) Electric and hybrid electric drivetrains provide compelling advantages for future tactical and combat vehicles. Of particular importance is a 50-percent reduction in fuel consumption due to higher efficiency, improved acceleration and maneuverability due to immediate torque to the wheels or tracks, and dramatically reduced thermal and acoustic signatures when operating from on-board energy storage. Affordability is addressed through ...

Excerpt: New technologies on the battlefield can alter the course of history and precipitate the rise or fall of nations. The advent of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) coincides with what some regard as a revolution in military affairs (RMA), an onset of technological innovation that changes the nature of warfare. These tiny devices could be the revolution’s enabling technology.

Excerpt: In the 1970s and 1980s, it was commonly assumed that terrorist use of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) would be counterproductive because such an act would be widely condemned. “Terrorists want a lot of people watching, not a lot of people dead,” Brian Jenkins (1975: 15) opined. Jenkins’s premise was based on the assumption that terrorist behavior is normative, and that if they exceeded certain constraints and employed WMD they would completely alienate themsel...
Excerpt: In November 1990, SUP 07 sent a senior manager to Motorola Corporation in Phoenix, AZ, for two weeks of training on Continuous Process Improvement and Statistical Process Control. Motorola had been that year’s recipient of the Malcomb Baldridge Award for Quality and as such was staffed with subject matter experts. This was followed by a week with Boeing Corporation representatives in January 1991, after which the SUP 07 trainer, along with others from the Comman...

Excerpt: In a general sense, we can say that the science of statistics attempts to quantify our uncertainty about the outcome of an experiment or test. Before we conduct an experiment, we are aware of’ the possible outcomes, but we are not sure which of the outcomes will actually result. The mathematical model, a logical extension of our assumptions about the experiment, quantifies our uncertainty and provides us with a tool for analysis of the outcome.
