  • DRDO Successfully Tests Armour-Piercing Nag Missiles At
    Tue, 09 July 2019 DRDO successfully tests armour-piercing Nag Missiles at Pokhran range The Defence Acquisition Council in 2018 had approved the procurement of DRDO designed and developed NAG Missile System (NAMIS) at a cost of Rs 524 crore New Delhi: Moving closer toward the induction of the Nag anti-tank guided missiles into the Army, Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) on Sunday carried out three successful test firings of the missiles in the Pokhran firing ranges. "The missiles were test-fired during both day and night on Sunday during the trials. All three tests were successful," DRDO officials said. Government sources said the missile is in the final stages of being inducted into the Army which will use it by mounting them on modified armoured vehicles. The Defence Acquisition Council in 2018 had approved the procurement of DRDO-designed- and-developed NAG Missile System (NAMIS) at a cost of Rs 524 crore. The system includes a third-generation Anti-Tank Guided Missile, the NAG, along with the Missile Carrier Vehicle (NAMICA). The NAG missile is a third-generation anti-tank guided missile, which has top attack capabilities that can effectively engage and destroy all known enemy tanks during both day and night operations. The successful induction of NAG missile into the Army is expected to give a quantum boost to the Army's capability against enemy armour. NAG was one of the first five strategic missiles planned to be developed under the Integrated Missile Development Programme initiated in the 1980s. The other missiles developed under the project include Agni, Prithvi and Akash, and all three have been successfully developed and inducted into the armed forces.

  • How Doc Draper Became the Father of Inertial Guidance
    (Preprint) AAS 18-121 HOW DOC DRAPER BECAME THE FATHER OF INERTIAL GUIDANCE Philip D. Hattis* With Missouri roots, a Stanford Psychology degree, and a variety of MIT de- grees, Charles Stark “Doc” Draper formulated the basis for reliable and accurate gyro-based sensing technology that enabled the first and many subsequent iner- tial navigation systems. Working with colleagues and students, he created an Instrumentation Laboratory that developed bombsights that changed the balance of World War II in the Pacific. His engineering teams then went on to develop ever smaller and more accurate inertial navigation for aircraft, submarines, stra- tegic missiles, and spaceflight. The resulting inertial navigation systems enable national security, took humans to the Moon, and continue to find new applica- tions. This paper discusses the history of Draper’s path to becoming known as the “Father of Inertial Guidance.” FROM DRAPER’S MISSOURI ROOTS TO MIT ENGINEERING Charles Stark Draper was born in 1901 in Windsor Missouri. His father was a dentist and his mother (nee Stark) was a school teacher. The Stark family developed the Stark apple that was popular in the Midwest and raised the family to prominence1 including a cousin, Lloyd Stark, who became governor of Missouri in 1937. Draper was known to his family and friends as Stark (Figure 1), and later in life was known by colleagues as Doc. During his teenage years, Draper enjoyed tinkering with automobiles. He also worked as an electric linesman (Figure 2), and at age 15 began a liberal arts education at the University of Mis- souri in Rolla.

  • Vanadium Dioxide Phase Transition Modeling and Bias Control for Photodetection
    VANADIUM DIOXIDE PHASE TRANSITION MODELING AND BIAS CONTROL FOR PHOTODETECTION by Zhongnan Qu A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Applied Science The Edward S. Rogers Sr. Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering University of Toronto © Copyright by Zhongnan Qu 2020 Abstract Vanadium Dioxide Phase Transition Modeling and Bias Control for Photodetection Zhongnan Qu Master of Applied Science The Edward S. Rogers Sr. Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering University of Toronto 2020 Vanadium dioxide (VO2) is a transition material that demonstrates phase transitions between the insulator and metallic states when under thermal, electrical or optical stimuli. It is a promising material for novel devices, for instance, switches, volatile memory, oscillatory neural network units, and photodetectors. Despite being a long-standing interest in the field of condensed matter physics, the numerous observed properties of VO2 remain insufficiently explained, which impedes the progress of its utilization for electronic devices. This thesis develops theoretical explanations and corresponding analytical and numerical models that fit our fabricated VO2 devices. This thesis also investigates the feasibility of utilizing VO2 as photodetectors and develops a bias control circuit with low-cost off-the-shelf circuit components, enabling repeated operations despite the hysteresis effect, demonstrated the potential of VO2 to be integrated with existing electronics. ii Acknowledgments I thank my supervisor, Prof. Joyce Poon for granting me this opportunity as well as providing me the support and environment to conduct this research. Her guidance and encouragement throughout my master’s study have allowed it to be an enriching and fruitful experience. I thank Junho Jeong and Dr.

  • Photons That Travel in Free Space Slower Than the Speed of Light Authors
    Title: Photons that travel in free space slower than the speed of light Authors: Daniel Giovannini1†, Jacquiline Romero1†, Václav Potoček1, Gergely Ferenczi1, Fiona Speirits1, Stephen M. Barnett1, Daniele Faccio2, Miles J. Padgett1* Affiliations: 1 School of Physics and Astronomy, SUPA, University of Glasgow, Glasgow G12 8QQ, UK 2 School of Engineering and Physical Sciences, SUPA, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh EH14 4AS, UK † These authors contributed equally to this work. * Correspondence to: [email protected] Abstract: That the speed of light in free space is constant is a cornerstone of modern physics. However, light beams have finite transverse size, which leads to a modification of their wavevectors resulting in a change to their phase and group velocities. We study the group velocity of single photons by measuring a change in their arrival time that results from changing the beam’s transverse spatial structure. Using time-correlated photon pairs we show a reduction of the group velocity of photons in both a Bessel beam and photons in a focused Gaussian beam. In both cases, the delay is several microns over a propagation distance of the order of 1 m. Our work highlights that, even in free space, the invariance of the speed of light only applies to plane waves. Introducing spatial structure to an optical beam, even for a single photon, reduces the group velocity of the light by a readily measurable amount. One sentence summary: The group velocity of light in free space is reduced by controlling the transverse spatial structure of the light beam. Main text The speed of light is trivially given as �/�, where � is the speed of light in free space and � is the refractive index of the medium.

Padgett2, y 1Department of Opto-electronic Engineering, Beihang University, Beijing, 100191, China 2SUPA, School of Physics and Astronomy, University of Glasgow, Glasgow, G12 8QQ, UK 3Selex ES, Edinburgh, UK Time-of-flight three dimensional imaging is an important tool for many applications, such as object recognition and remote sensing. Unlike conventional imaging approach using pixelated detector array, single-pixel imaging based on projected patterns, such as Hadamard patterns, utilises an alternative strategy to acquire information with sampling basis. Here we show a modified single-pixel camera using a pulsed illumi- nation source and a high-speed photodiode, capable of reconstructing 128×128 pixel resolution 3D scenes to an accuracy of ∼ 3 mm at a range of ∼ 5 m. Furthermore, we demonstrate continuous real-time 3D video with a frame-rate up to 12 Hz. The sim- plicity of the system hardware could enable low-cost 3D imaging devices for precision ranging at wavelengths beyond the visible spectrum. Introduction Whilst a variety of 3D imaging technologies are suited for different applications, time-of-flight (TOF) systems have set the benchmark for performance with regards to a combination of accuracy and operating range. Time-of-flight imaging is performed by illuminating a scene with a pulsed light source and observing the back-scattered light. Correlating the detection time of the back-scattered light with the time of the illumination pulse allows the distance, d, to objects within the scene to be estimated by d = tc=2, where t is the TOF and c is the propagation speed of light.

Overall autonomous operation was managed on-board by a small general purpose digital computer configured by its designer, Dr. Raymond Alonso, for very low power drain except at the occasional times needing fast computation speed. A special feature of this computer was the pre-wired, read-only memory called a core rope, a configuration of particularly high storage density requiring only one magnetic core per word of memory. A four volume report of this work was published in July, 1959, and presented to the Air Force Sponsors. However, since the Air Force was disengaging from civilian space development, endeavors to interest NASA were undertaken. Dr. H. Guyford Stever, then an MIT professor, arranged a presentation with Dr. Hugh Dryden, NASA Deputy Administrator, which took place on September 15.* On November 10, NASA sent a letter of in- tent to contract the Instrumentation Laboratory for a $50,000 study to start immediately. The stated purpose was that this study would con- c tribute to the efforts of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in conducting unmanned space missions to Mars, Venus, and the Earth's moon scheduled in Vega and Centaur missions in the next few years. A relationship be- tween MIT and JPL did not evolve. JPL's approach to these deep space missions involved close ground base control with their large antenna tracking and telemetry systems, considerably different from the on- board self sufficiency method which the MIT group advocated and could best support.
