The Navy's focus has shifted from global war scenarios to preparedness for the prospect of involvement in regional, littoral contingencies and conflicts. Operationally, shipboard personnel will need the ability to shift focus from the combat system multimission roles to that of only a single mission. From a development perspective, combat systems must accommodate a continual infusion of technology in a budget constrained environment. Combat system architecture is the single most important feature affecting combat system flexibility, from both an operational and developmental aspect. There is a fundamental partitioning of combat svstem functions into detect, command, and engage in a horizontal integration approach that enhances this needed flexibilitv. This fundamental partitioning is currently applied to individual weapon systems, but not to combat svstems as a whole. Instead, self-contained weapon systems are often developed and then vertically integrated to form a combat svstem, causing reduced flexibility. The battle organization is the principal driving requirement for combat system architecture. This paper shows that that the battle organization is best supported by a horizontally integrated combat system of detect, command, and engage. It concludes that a horizontally integrated combat svstem architecture of detect, command, and engage should be a candidate for future combat systems.

The use of an electromagnetic analysis of 3-D planar structures is described with respect to the educational requirements of students from the college freshman level through the graduate level. The analysis is intended primarily for microwave use; however, there is also significant potential interest from the student of high speed digital design. The analysis is used for passive planar circuits with any number of layers. The third dimension is represented by vias. A mature graphical user interface is provided allowing rapid capture of structure geometry, color visualization, and animation of the resulting current distributions. The software is also explicitly designed to work in conjunction with popular circuit theory based microwave software and with SPICE.

The Signal Processing Instructional Facility (SPIF Lab) is an experiment in using in interactive multimedia for teaching concepts related to linear systems theory and signal processing. The goals of the SPIF lab are to augment, enhance, and interconnect sophomore, junior, and senior level courses with the common thread of linear systems and transforms by unifying the experimentation medium. In this fashion, physical phenomenon is returned to the forefront of engineering education. The laboratory features powerful Mathematica Notebooks (a form of hypertext) and interactive applications that use dedicated DSP microprocessors.

With the availability of a large number of software packages for electromagnetic (EM) education through the national computer Applications in Electromagnetic Education (CAEME) Center [1] and other individual efforts, there have been some concerns regarding the ability to integrate this software effectively in routine classroom teaching. Basically, congested EM curricula do not provide instructors with sufficient time to include software demonstrations and simulations during class periods. It is also not clear whether students will be able, adequately and independently, to understand basic underlying concepts and physical phenomena from visualization of colorful graphics and from the output of performed simulations. To help integrate available EM software in classroom teaching for both instructor use and student independent study, CAEME developed three interactive video lessons for student instruction. Interactive media lessons integrate and allow individuals to interactively manipulate information from multimedia such as video, software, and animated graphics, and also include instructional information such as quizzes and tutorials. In this article, we present the features of three interactive video lessons in EM developed by CAEME. These lessons include tutorials, simulations from CAEME software and videos, and quizzes to evaluate student understanding. The lessons use animated graphics illustrating specific dynamic phenomena and specific measurement procedures. They also keep a record of student quiz scores for instructor use. These, as well as other features of the three developed interactive video lessons, and the software and hardware requirements for developing such lessons, will be described.

During laser treatment, coagulation affects the optical properties of the tissue. In particular, the formation of a white lesion increases the scattering coefficient significantly. This change in the optical properties in turn affects the laser light distribution in the tissue. For example, what is the effect of the white lesion formed during photocoagulation of the retina upon reflection and fluence rate? This problem was simulated on a model medium consisting of a thin absorbing black paint layer covered with a 1cm thick layer of fresh egg white. The egg white layer was subdivided into coagulated (white) and uncoagulated (clear) layers. The optical properties of coagulated and uncoagulated egg white were determined. These values were used to model light distribution in the medium for varying thicknesses of the coagulated egg white layer using the one dimensional Adding Doubling method. Our results show that the fluence reaching the paint layer increases until the coagulated layer reaches 100μm, after which it falls off exponentially. It was also found that the total reflected light increases almost linearly at first as the coagulated layer thickens, and then begins to level off to an R∞ at a coagulation thickness of 2mm. Experimental measurements of reflection from a lesion with a CCD camera confirm the computed trends. These results provide a theoretical foundation for control of lesion thickness using reflectance images.
