Back-up : Back-up A few examples of interesting global SCIENCE and technology….


Solid State Gyros/ IMUs/Accelerometers: Solid State Gyros/ IMUs/Accelerometers Need: EM Railgun: Guidance systems capable up to 35,000 g Current approach: No currently developed guidance systems capable in this range Potential Technology Solution: Solid State gyroscopes, inertial measuring units (IMUs) and altitude heading reference systems (AHRS) Developed by Innalabs with their Russian and Ukrainian laboratory partners Impact: Affordable, accurate gyros, and resulting IMUs, with high g capability could provide opportunities in the EM Railgun program Next Steps: ONR Railgun program is submitting specs to Innalab to determine specific applicability to ongoing programs Europe & Russia/FSU


Transparent Ceramic Laser Materials: Transparent Ceramic Laser Materials Need: High Energy Laser programs need lenses with high thermal conductivity Current approach: Current single crystal (solid state Nd/YAG) technologies do not scale up well to high power levels High thermal conductivity materials are not well suited for single crystal growth, limiting current lens technology Potential Technology Solution: Large-scale ceramics processes demonstrated in Japan appear to improve optical quality of laser host materials Impact & Next Steps: ONR Global is providing research support funds (NICOP) to incorporate the process into the current NRL program NRL believes that the incorporation of this Japanese technology could accelerate the NRL program forward by 2 years.
