    Technical Details of the Elliott 152 and 153

    Appendix 1 Technical Details of the Elliott 152 and 153 Introduction The Elliott 152 computer was part of the Admiralty’s MRS5 (medium range system 5) naval gunnery project, described in Chap. 2. The Elliott 153 computer, also known as the D/F (direction-finding) computer, was built for GCHQ and the Admiralty as described in Chap. 3. The information in this appendix is intended to supplement the overall descriptions of the machines as given in Chaps. 2 and 3. A1.1 The Elliott 152 Work on the MRS5 contract at Borehamwood began in October 1946 and was essen- tially finished in 1950. Novel target-tracking radar was at the heart of the project, the radar being synchronized to the computer’s clock. In his enthusiasm for perfecting the radar technology, John Coales seems to have spent little time on what we would now call an overall systems design. When Harry Carpenter joined the staff of the Computing Division at Borehamwood on 1 January 1949, he recalls that nobody had yet defined the way in which the control program, running on the 152 computer, would interface with guns and radar. Furthermore, nobody yet appeared to be working on the computational algorithms necessary for three-dimensional trajectory predic- tion. As for the guns that the MRS5 system was intended to control, not even the basic ballistics parameters seemed to be known with any accuracy at Borehamwood [1, 2]. A1.1.1 Communication and Data-Rate The physical separation, between radar in the Borehamwood car park and digital computer in the laboratory, necessitated an interconnecting cable of about 150 m in length.

Iztok Prezelj Somentor: asist. mag. Erik Kopač INTEGRACIJA EVROPSKE OBRAMBNE INDUSTRIJE Diplomsko delo Ljubljana 2007 INTEGRACIJA EVROPSKE OBRAMBNE INDUSTRIJE Diplomsko delo obravnava spremembe v evropski obrambni industriji vse od konca 2. svetovne vojne. Na začetku predstavi proces povezovanja obrambne industrije v času hladne vojne v treh časovnih obdobjih. Sledi predstavitev trendov povezovanja obrambne industrije po koncu hladne vojne, podkrepljenih z vzroki, ki spodbujajo in zavirajo proces povezovanja obrambne industrije v Evropi. Omenjeni proces, voden s strani obrambnih podjetij, je prikazan s pomočjo koncentracije, privatizacije in internacionalizacije obrambne industrije. Obravnava tudi liberalističen in merkantilističen pristop k integraciji obrambne industrije na primeru Velike Britanije in Francije. Proces institucionalne integracije obrambne industrije, ki predstavlja poskus meddržavnega povezovanja obrambne industrije, prikaže v študiji primerov najpomembnejših institucij na tem področju. V zadnjem poglavju s predstavitvijo slovenske obrambne industrije v obdobju po osamosvojitvi leta 1991 umesti obrambno industrijo v Sloveniji v evropsko dogajanje na tem področju ter nakaže možnosti za njen nadaljnji razvoj. Ključne besede: obrambna industrija, ekonomska integracija, Evropa, Slovenija. INTEGRATION OF EUROPEAN DEFENCE INDUSTRY This diploma work deals with changes in defence industry in Europe since the end of Second World War. At the begininng it divides the process of binding up the European defence industry in Cold War on three periods. It continues with the introduction of modern trends in binding up the defence industry after the end of Cold War with help by causes that stimulate and interfere the process of European defence integration.
  • Trends in Space Commerce

    Trends in Space Commerce

    Foreword from the Secretary of Commerce As the United States seeks opportunities to expand our economy, commercial use of space resources continues to increase in importance. The use of space as a platform for increasing the benefits of our technological evolution continues to increase in a way that profoundly affects us all. Whether we use these resources to synchronize communications networks, to improve agriculture through precision farming assisted by imagery and positioning data from satellites, or to receive entertainment from direct-to-home satellite transmissions, commercial space is an increasingly large and important part of our economy and our information infrastructure. Once dominated by government investment, commercial interests play an increasing role in the space industry. As the voice of industry within the U.S. Government, the Department of Commerce plays a critical role in commercial space. Through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Department of Commerce licenses the operation of commercial remote sensing satellites. Through the International Trade Administration, the Department of Commerce seeks to improve U.S. industrial exports in the global space market. Through the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, the Department of Commerce assists in the coordination of the radio spectrum used by satellites. And, through the Technology Administration's Office of Space Commercialization, the Department of Commerce plays a central role in the management of the Global Positioning System and advocates the views of industry within U.S. Government policy making processes. I am pleased to commend for your review the Office of Space Commercialization's most recent publication, Trends in Space Commerce. The report presents a snapshot of U.S.

The initial part of the research comprises of the in-depth study and the historical analysis of the global aviation scenario i.e. how the aviation industry has become a major and fastest source of transportation globally since the inception of regular air services in the earlier 20th century till to-date. Later part of this research focuses on the cost effective Low Cost Carrier (LCC) aviation model in Pakistan. To achieve the cost saving management, unified aircraft operation policy was proposed. To select right aircraft for Pakistan’s domestic and regional markets, multiple evaluation factors were considered for better matching of physical requirements. The unified aircraft fleet is a biggest factor to reduce the total operating cost. Moreover, the research on cost effective management by employing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) LCC based aviation business in Pakistan was also undertaken. An elaborated analysis of the operations and functioning of ERP in LCCs’ different business divisions with real-life analysis was conducted. It was concluded that ERP modified for unified aircraft policy will give the significant improvements of the value of operation compared to the Traditional Management, General ERP, and combination of both of them.
