Tfeamed for AEGIS firepower: FMC's Naval Systems Division.
Two major weapons aboard AEGIS cruisers are Mk 41 vertical launching system and Mk 45 lightweight gun. The multi-mission Mk 41 offers selective launching of missiles against air, surface and submarine threats, as well as land attack. For closer range, Mk 45 offers selective firing of all types of 5-inch ammunition. Both of these highly automated AEGIS weapon systems are produced by FMC’s Naval Systems Division.
We build them.
The advanced technologies applied today in sophisticated shipboard systems require even greater sophistication in manufacture. Without question, FMC’s Naval Systems Division, operates one of the largest, most advanced facilities in the world for design, development and production of naval armament. Our Mk 41 and missile canister production alone requires nearly 300,000 sq. ft. of dedicated high-tech facilities.
We support them.
Wherever you find an FMC-built weapon system, you’ll find us providing fully integrated logistics support. This includes shipyard technical installation assistance, provisioning, spares, field service and the latest in simulation training systems.
We’ve got the team for AEGIS firepower. Full capability and commitment to produce the finest systems on time, on budget, with full support anywhere in the world. FMC Corporation,

Experience under the sea. Submarine propulsion and ships service turbine generator experience. GE has more of it than anyone. It’s why our Company is eminently qualified to design, manufacture and test these critical systems for the SSN 21 Seawolf. In 1957, seatrialsofthe original Seawolf heralded the first of many GE contributions to the nuclear submarine field. Since then, the Company has continued to pioneer advanced systems aboard every class of submarine including the latest 688’s.
SSN 688—A Technical Benchmark
The entire Class relies on GE systems for both propulsion and ships service electrical demands. Their reliability is extraordinary.
In fact, since the commissioning of the Los Angeles in 1976, these systems endured the equivalent of hundreds of years of service without a single ship coming off line for an at-sea failure. Why? For a number of good reasons. First, GE engineers extrapolate the best ideas from existing technology and proven hardware during design and manufacture, while paying particular attention to key Navy criteria: reliability, noise, size, weight, performance, maintainability and accessibility. Then they exhaustively test each system under shipboard conditions before shipment.
On-Time Delivery And Service__
GE demonstrated construction efficiency, too, by delivering these 688 propulsion and SSTG systems to shipyards ahead of schedule. After
installation, GE provides life cycle support through service facilities in every major Navy port in the U.S., and in major ports worldwide. Of course, factory experts are on-call 24 hours a day, too. Through this service team, continued evolutionary advances are made available to upgrade the existing fleet. Such upgrades aboard 688’s permit them to remain at sea years longer between overhauls.
Into The 21st Century
The heritage Edison began with the first shipboard power generation system continues today at GE Naval & Drive Turbine Systems. Here, we apply the resources of our $40 billion Company to develop the most advanced propulsion and ships service systems. Experience allows us to do this. It’s the critical difference GE engineers build upon to advance
the Navy mission with the SSN 21 Seawolf. General Electric Company 166 Boulder Drive,

The nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson is perhaps the most complex and technologically sophisticated mobile structure ever built. And it handles its immense data processing, word processing and video requirements with Wang VS computers, all tied together in an integrated network.
The Wang system assists in keeping track of everything from work-in-progress to personnel records. It's helping to standardize administrative and management procedures. And it's used to monitor planning and control, ship's training, system testing, and even maps out the type and number of personnel required to get the ship underway. The USS Carl Vinson may run on nuclear power, but it moves information on Wang computers.

Why Westfalia?
• Proven superior performance in extreme hot and cold environments with ship rolls to 45 degrees.
• Lighter than competitive models.
• Completely shock proof in accordance with M1L-S-901C.. low noise...low vibration.
• Documentation meets all NATO requirements.
• Meets stringent quality assurance standards.
The combat readiness of Canadian patrol ships like the Halifax depends on engine room efficiency...and Westfalia Purifiers fulfill this mission. Aboard the Halifax (and each of the 11 other frigates now going on-stream) are four Westfalia Automatic Oil Purifiers. Result: Improved engine performance, reduced parts wear and longer lube oil life.
On each vessel, two OSA 35 Purifiers clean distillate fuel for the diesels and gas turbines at 10,000 liters per hour; while two OSA 7 Purifiers clean and recycle lube oil at 1,000 liters per hour.

On September 26,
1987, the U.S.S. Leyte Gulf- the 100th USN ship powered by GE LM2500 engines - joined the fleet.
The LM2500 thus continues a proud tradition of performance for the U.S. Navy: 6 PHM Hydrofoils, 51 FFG-7 Frigates, 31 DD-963 Destroyers, 4 DDG-993 Destroyers, and the balance in CG-47 AEGIS Guided Missile Cruisers. Throughout, the FM2500 has established a reputation as the most efficient and reliable gas turbine propulsion system in marine use.
The FM2500 also means cost effective performance. Unprecedented operating characteristics, like zero to full power in 90 seconds or less plus an availability of 99.9%, directly help the
U.S. Navy achieve a high order of mission readiness.
Based on this record* the LM2500 has also been selected as a preferred propulsion system by 16 other world navies, 31 differ' ent ship types, and a grand total of more

The challenge of the long range and support requirement in naval strategy; the tactical commitments of battlefield support; the safety, comfort, capacity, range and speed needs of civil transport. These are just some of the demands which must be met by rotary wing aircraft. Demands which could be regarded by some as conflicting.
Jointly Agusta and Westland formed E.H. Industries Limited to marry these demands into one helicopter programme. A programme with its own international management company.
A helicopter which is capable of meeting the growing demand for safety, capacity, performance, range, speed, reliability, and flexibility, in a truly cost effective manner. The demand has grown from the needs of both the Civil and the Military for maritime and land-based operations to provide a response which, in concept and execution, will satisfy all and compromise none.

The Triad
After INF and START
By James L. George
Superpower leaders Reagan and Gorbachev, despite their respective moraleboosting appearances on board the Tomahawk-armed New Jersey and the massive Typhoon-class SSBN, are pressing for two key nuclear arms reduction agreements. Where will this leave the U. S. Navy?
In the weapons track? In the strategy track? Or in both?
Last December, U. S. President Ronald Reagan and Soviet General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev signed an Intermediate Nuclear Forces (INF) agreement in Washington. They are expected to sign a Strategic Arms Reduction Talks (START) accord later this spring in Moscow. Both agreements will have profound effects. One military analyst even predicts the end of the nuclear era.”1 While that may be going too far, major changes are bound to occur. INF has eliminated two complete classes of nuclear weaponry and START would eliminate 50% of strategic weapons.
Is the U. S. Navy—is, in fact, the United States— prepared to cope with these changes?
On the military level, the U. S. Navy appears well prepared. It has the only long-range nuclear system not currently restricted: the nuclear Tomahawk land-attack missile (TLAM/N). And the Navy’s leg of the Triad, the wet leg, has been modernized recently and most systems are deployed. Most weaponry in the ground- and air-based legs of the Triad are, by contrast, still in the research-and- development stages and their escalating costs have already caught the eyes of budget cutters.
,------- —VllUllgVOt mOlWYVl, U 11UJ UVVll UIV
ac'k that has proved most important in determining the Ccess or failure of past arms control agreements.2
t recent INF accord is a good example of the inter- y ln'n8 of strictly military and strategy tracks.3 The nited States will eliminate 108 ballistic Pershing-IIs and ^ §r°und-launched cruise missiles (GLCMs)—a total of
570 warheads. The Soviet Union will eliminate 441 SS-20 three-warhead and 112 SS-4 single-warhead intermediate- range systems, and 120 SS-12/22 and 20 SS-23 shorter- range missiles—a total of 1,575 warheads. Thus, from a strictly numerical “bean-count” viewpoint, the Western advantage is three-to-one. Clearly, as supporters of the treaty constantly point out, it is a major victory for the United States and NATO.
Why, then, have former Supreme Allied Commanders, Europe, Generals Bernard Rogers and Alexander Haig; former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and former President Richard Nixon; chairmen of the Senate and House Armed Services Committees, Senator Sam Nunn (D-GA) and Congressman Les Aspin (D-WI); and, at one time or another, most Western European leaders, including Chancellor Helmut Kohl and Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, expressed concern?
They have done so for strategy reasons. As General Rogers argued, by removing the U. S. systems, especially the Pershing IIs, NATO has removed the credible nuclear threat that has deterred the Soviet Union for more than 40 years. This, not just the SS-20s, was NATO’s reason for modernizing the nuclear force.
Now there will be only two theater systems left: the Air Force’s and Navy’s dual-capable aircraft (DCA) and, more important, the Navy’s TLAM/N sea-launched cruise missile (SLCM). While the DCA are important, they have some limitations. First, they are “dual,” which means their other, perhaps primary, mission is conventional. In any major confrontation, the Air Force planes, already outnumbered, will be stretched thin. Second, with the massive, layered Soviet air-defense systems, aircraft will have a difficult time penetrating too far into Eastern Europe, much less all the way to Soviet territory. The Navy’s DCA might prove more useful, therefore, since they are considerably more flexible. For this reason, the recent budgetary decision to delay and perhaps kill the A-6F might, in this author’s opinion, prove very shortsighted.

Technologies of Surveillance:
TI’s ASW systems, when the naked eye just isn’t good enough.
To patrol an ocean, you need a better pair of eyes. Searching day and night, in fair weather and foul. Sweeping the surface for any sign of trouble. Plus monitoring action below the surface.
For almost 50 years, Texas Instruments has been equipping airborne sea patrols with the “eyes” they need. Since World War II, TI has designed, refined and produced maritime surveillance and ASW systems for both land-based and carrier aircraft.
To see just how far we’ve come since 1941, look at today’s equipment roster:
• AN/APS-137 - ISAR (Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar); major upgrade of our periscope detecting radar, generating true twodimensional radar images with
greatly enhanced long-range detection capabilities.
• AN/APS-134 — long range maritime surveillance radar, to detect small targets, like submarine periscopes.
• AN/AAS-36 - IRDS (Infrared Detecting System), using FLIR technology invented by TI, for passive search and ship identification.
• AN/ASQ-81( ) — Advanced Digital MAD, with increased range and five times the reliability.
Today’s advanced technology has evolved from those early systems. And TI will continue refining these existing systems and inventing new ones, with our experience and commitment to R&.D leading the way. That’s why TI
is the leader in developing and ^
producing maritime surveillance ;Ult' airborne ASW systems. ^

When an air force decides it needs a new airplane to perform a certain mission,
11 draws up criteria the airplane must satisfy.
In the case of high altitude surveillance and reconnaissance missions, the criteria are Certain to include these features:
• The highest levels of technology, such as computerized flight management systems integrated with electronic flight instruments, autothrottles, laser-driven inertial reference systems, and other advanced state-of-the-art systems, so the aircraft and flight crews will Perform at peak efficiency and productivity.
• A big cabin, with room for all the electronic and optical sensors required for the *ost effective gathering of intelligence data, plus the specialists to manage the consoles ar>d the systems.
• Long endurance and high cruise speeds, so missions can last 8,9, even 10 hours, and cover as great an area as possible.
• Reliable turbofan engines with excellent fuel efficiency.
• High operating altitudes, certainly a minimum of 45,000 feet, so the airplane can °Perate unrestricted by other traffic.
Now, it may sound as if we’re beginning to describe the Gulfstream IV, newest generation of our legendary long range business jets.
We are.
In fact, we can describe in detail how a derivative of the Gulfstream IV will match your criteria for a surveillance/reconnaissance aircraft almost exactly. What’s more, we can §>ve you performance data, specifications, price and a delivery date. And you could save y°ur government time and money by talking to us about the Gulfstream IV.

LTV
Aircraft Modernization and Support Division
More and more, America is coming to realize that new mission requirements don’t necessarily call for new aircraft. Many aircraft in existing inventories can be upgraded and modernized to fulfill new missions at a fraction of the cost.
LTV’s commitment to this role is obvious. We’ve created a full division—Aircraft Modernization and Support—devoted entirely to the most cost-effective modernization of Air Force and Navy aircraft. Our people and our facilities offer a full range of capabilities in this area, including propulsion, avionics and advanced structures work.
Although we’re streamlined to help hold costs down, we have the full resources of LTV Aircraft Products to draw on when needed—design and manufacturing capabilities, advanced laboratories and test facilities and the like. Plus over 70 years of experience as one of the nation’s leading aircraft manufacturers.
One of our most famous products, the legendary A-7 Corsair II, is also our premier example of modernization expertise. Modernized A-7’s are expected to be filling specific mission roles well into the next century, for customers ranging from the U.S. Air Force and Air National Guard to the Air Forces of Greece and Portugal.
What we’re doing for the A-7 we can do for any aircraft, any mission—building new life into existing assets while breathing new life into restricted budgets.

How B&W helped the fleet keep an appointment with history.
During World War II we were earning our stripes on the high seas —when more than four thousand combat and merchant ships were equipped with Babcock & Wilcox boilers. In every major battle, from the desperate delaying actions after Pearl Harbor, to the final assault by the largest combat fleet ever assembled, B&W boilers powered the ships that made history.

THE FUTURE OF NATO’S AIR DEFENSES
AN ALLIANCE DILEMMA?
In LESS THAN A DECADE, NATO'S CURRENT AIR DEFENSES WILL NO LONGER BE ABLE TO COPE WITH HOSTILE TECHNOLOGIES SCHEDULED TO ENTER SERVICE BETWEEN NOW AND THEN.
To COUNTER THIS THREAT, TWO EUROPEAN DEFENSE TECHNOLOGY LEADERS HAVE POOLED THEIR EXPERTISE TO PRODUCE A FAMILY OF SURFACE-TO-AIR MISSILES UNPRECEDENTED IN AGILITY AND OPERATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS, AND ABLE TO NEUTRALIZE ATTACKS OF UP TO TEN SUPERSONIC/MANEUVERING INTRUDERS SIMULTANEOUSLY.
Real-time threat analysis and fire control are coordinated BY THOMSON-CSF’S ARA BEL MULTI-FUNCTION RADAR SYSTEM.
Aerospatiale’s twin-

Radars See What Other Radars Can’t.
In side-by-side comparison tests, a PATHFINDER/ST display and a conventional radar display were connected to the same radar system. PATHFINDER/ST consistently displayed targets not detected by the conventional display.
PATHFINDER/ST multistage processing analyzes, compares, tests, and samples the received signal so that all detected targets, no matter how weak in signal strength, are distinguished from clutter and clearly displayed.
Simple Installation and Flexible System Configuration.
PATHFINDER/ST Radars satisfy a very wide range of installation and operating requirements. Signal multiplexing reduces connections between PATHFINDER/ST receivers and displays. This, combined with electronic interswitching for dual systems, the ability to mount transceivers “up” in antenna pedestals, or “down” in separate cabinets, and keyboard entry of all set-up parameters, makes any installation straightforward, simple, and economical.

VLSI circuits. More brainpower in less space.
Floods of data to be processed faster. Tighter space, weight and power constraints. Unprecedented reliability To meet these demands of many new space and defense systems, AAartin Marietta is integrating more and more electronic functions into, individual microcircuits. At the forefront of VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration), we are today working on new advances in miniaturization and performance.
These include VHSIC (Very High Speed Integrated Circuits) applications, radiation- hardened circuits with features as small as 2 microns wide, and a processor chip 10 times faster than today's most advanced computers.
Greater density for higher speed.
Over 100,000 transistors are routinely being placed on VLSI chips. Tight packing shortens the signal path, which increases processing speed and reduces power needs.
Defense satellites with bains.
To identify; track and inventory thousands of Ejects in space, satellites W>H need radiation-hardened circuits capable of billions °f operations per second. Jbey'll be vital for such Junctions as battle man- cement, communications, damage assessment, aiming and pointing.
Missiles that guide themselves.
With a superfast VLSI computer-on-a-chip now in development, cruise-type missiles can, at ground- hugging altitudes, evade countermeasures and thread their way through obstacles. They can even select alternative targets if necessary.
Masterminding tomorrow's technologies
In March of 1987 Sea Vulcan 25 scored direct hits on a number of simulated naval threats! During April it did it again. And in May it did it again, and again, and again...
In the Spring of 1987, Sea Vulcan 25 was put up against 75 target runs during a three month sea trial by the Naval Sea Systems Command.
More than 6000 rounds were fired with no stoppages. Its overall performance was scored as excellent.
Sea Vulcan 25 is the result of five years of GE development directed solely at a threat facing the Navy’s major combatants and special warfare fleet — the threat of high speed, close-in, air and surface craft.
It’s built from the deck up to meet the needs of an advanced minor caliber gun system for the Navy.
Sea Vulcan 25 is built around the firepower that deals with the threat. It mounts the Marine’s GAU-12/U 25-mm Gatling on a unique single trunnion for accuracy, compactness, and ease of maintenance.
Two other aspects were as important to us as its firepower.
First, we built Sea Vulcan 25 for the gunner’s mate who is going to use it. That is, for ease of maintenance and minimal training.
Secondly, we built it to be modular. It can be mounted through the deck for low profile applications, or it can bolt on as a self-contained module.

During 75 firing runs, Sea Vulcan 25 demonstrated its suitability as a lightweight minor caliber naval gun mount. It demonstrated its ability to interface with either a sophisticated fire control director or a simple manual sight like the Navy’s Mk-24.
And, it demonstrated the firepower and reliability necessary to counter a menacing threat to the U.S. Navy.
Again, and again.

How in future will student pilots learn to fly"'1 aggression and confidence into the blue without putting the training budget into the red?
Rolls-Royce & Turbomeca. Part of the T45TS team.
Introducing the Adour in the T-45A ‘Gosh3'' trainer for the U.S. Navy.
The T-45A with the uniquely-designed Ad°l" turbofan, enhances the student pilot’s flying skilly While it will help train 600 pilots a year, fewer aircraft will be needed.
25% fewer flight hours. 15% less time to trait1- which add up to high percentage savings on in*® training. ,
The Adour has exactly the right cycle for lo^'11’ bum and high thrust through the flight envelope Sipping 60% less fuel than the Navy’s current trail" What’s more, the Adour’s modular design helps reduce downtime and gives a 20% reduction in SPJ engine requirements.
And while the student will enjoy freedom of engine handling to manoeuvre like a member o'1 | famous Red Arrows aerobatic display team, the e‘1 result will be training at half the cost. r
So while the student will be learning, the ' Navy will be saving. Megabucks.
This evolved engine has over 2 million fligj^ hours training pilots, in the most extreme conditions worldwide. No wonder the T-45A was the winning candidate in the U.S. Navy VTXTS competition.
It’s the very stuff of the right stuff.

Subchaser
By Edward P. Stafford
In a wartime navy of giant carriers and battleships, tiny wooden subchasers did not command much attention. Yet these 110-foot warships, manned mostly by inexperienced reservists, performed vital chores for the fleet everywhere there was action in World War II. One such doughty little ship, subchaser 692, which participated in the invasion of Sicily in July 1943, is the subject of this book. Her story is told by her commanding officer, Edward Stafford, then a lieutenant (jg) on his first warship.
Taking an approach used so successfully in his earlier World War II books on the Enterprise and Abercrombie, Stafford brings to life the subchaser and her crew of thirty diverse young men to give readers a realistic taste of what it was like to be in a very big war on a very small ship. Poignant, humorous, sensitive, and dramatic, the story never lags as Stafford follows his crew's evolution from an undisciplined group of civilians in uniform into a confident team of professionals.

The Last Gentleman-of-War
Raider Exploits of the Cruiser Emden
By R. K. Lochner and Translated by Thea and Harry Llndauer
Today her name conjures up images of a lost era of chivalric adventure on the high seas. In World War I the Emden captured worldwide attention for her daring raids against Allied shipping in the Indian Ocean. With this translation of a popular German book on the legendary warship, English-speaking readers are at last treated to the full story behind the headlines of this last gentleman-of-war.
The book provides a stirring portrait of the colorful ship and her crew. It follows the Emden as she cleverly eludes the large warships in her pursuit to claim nineteen Allied merchant ships in just twelve weeks. Her bold and gallant exploits won her the admiration of friend and foe alike, and her loss was lamented worldwide in November 1914 when her dazzling career came to an abrupt end during a fierce and unequal battle against an Australian warship. But the story does not end with the Emden's demise. This book follows her survivors on their tortuous journey from the Cocos islands to Constantinople and the safety of a German squadron.

The Destroyer The Sullivans
By Al Ross
The latest in the respected Anatomy of the Ship series, this volume describes the Fletcher-class destroyer The Sullivans, named to honor the memory of five Sullivan brothers who died when their light cruiser was sunk by Japanese torpedoes in 1942. The many destroyers of the Fletcher class proved invaluable to the Pacific fleet escort force. The Sullivans had a long and distinguished career, serving at Pearl Harbor, Okinawa, Sasebo, and Beirut. She was also involved in the blockade of Cuba during the missile crisis.

Here’s some good news about a defense program.
It’s the Light Airborne Multipurpose System (LAMPS) MK III antisubmarine warfare/anti-suriace warfare weapons system, and its story is a good one.
LAMPS has a big job: keep sea lanes open for US. military and merchant vessels. As prime contractor, IBM’s Federal Systems Division designed, developed and now produces LAMPS MK 111 systems. They’re being delivered on time and below cost. And their performance continues to exceed expectations.
Mission capability is an impressive 97 percent, well above average for a new defense system.
Mean flight hours between failures is three times better than the original specification. And production costs have been cut in half. As of April 1988, 100 LAMPS helicopters have been delivered to the Navy.
That’s the LAMPS MK III success story up to now.
