NICKLEY, ALFRED P.The author received his BS degree in Electrical Engineering from Case Institute of Technology in 1953. Following graduation
he began his career in industry as a Motor Design Engineer. In 1959 he accepted the position of Electrical Engineer in the Motor and Motor—Generator Section of the Bureau of Ships where he was the Engineer-in-Charge of all Navy motors. From 1967 until 1972 he served as the Electrical Engineer for the Supervisor of Shipbuilding Bath England. In this position he provided technical guidance in all electrical matters to United Kingdom shipbuilders during the design construction and testing of two Oceanographics Ships and three OceanGoing Salvage Tugs being built in the United Kingdom to U.S. Navy specifications. After completion of this tour of duty he joined the Naval Ship Engineering Center (NAVSEC) where he is currently a Project Engineer with technical cognizance for all surface ship 400Hz motor—generators and for the past four years has served as the NA VSEC Program Manager for the 400Hz Motor—Generator Power Systems Improvement Program in addition to his regular duties.

Although we cannot predict future security conditions, we can be certain that the environment will be marked by the unexpected. However, the kinds and scope of the conflicts we will face, the requirements for naval forces, and other unknowns will surely entail the deterrence and defeat of asymmetric threats. The Navy's Maritime Patrol and Reconnaissance (MPR) forces must be postured to sustain and advance a broad, competitive advantage over emerging 21st century threats, and the MPR community must enhance core mission capabilities with intelligence, reconnaissance, and surveillance capabilities that in turn support the Navy's transformation roadmap, Sea power 21. MPR force transformation will be realized through co-evolving concepts of operation, changes in organizational structure, and innovative applications of legacy capabilities and newly developed technologies associated with Multi-mission Maritime Aircraft (MMA), unmanned aerial vehicle (UAVs), and high-fidelity trainers. MMA, teamed with robust and mature UAV capabilities, could be the basis for a radical change in the conduct of maritime warfare.

The author describes a personal-computer software package recently incorporated in the power engineering program at Northeastern University. The package includes a set of computer programs which can be utilized to support classroom instruction and student design projects. The programs cover matrix operations, symmetrical components, line constant, steady-state operation of transmission lines, power flow (100 buses), symmetrical short circuits (100 buses), short circuits (100 buses), transmission-line transients, and transient stability. The computer programs, the way they are utilized, and initial student reaction are discussed. It is concluded that the availability of the power system analysis and design software package has extended classroom capabilities and enhanced student interest in power engineering courses. The reaction of students to the software has been positive, and it has allowed them to work on more difficult and realistic problems and make it an innovative tool in the learning process.< >

By today's standards, the radioisotope-fueled thermoelectric generators launched in 1961 were both crude and heavy. Yet much of SNAP 3, as those units were designated, lives on in their progeny. This paper discusses SNAPs 3, 9A, 11 and the IMP (Interplanetary Monitoring Probe) generators, emphasizing the unique and developmental features of each, as well as those time-tested, operationally successful features which have remained unchanged after close official scrutiny.

During the past several years, considerable interest has been shown by DoD agencies in the development of long duration, unmanned aircraft. Many tactical missions have been identified that involve surveillance, reconnaissance, missile detection, missile targeting, and electronic countermeasures. Requirements for these missions vary depending upon the payload characteristics, flight duration, and altitude. While both lighter-than-air and fixed-wing configurations have been considered, this paper only addresses the latter type. Mission duration varied from several days to 4 years. Altitudes ranged from 47,500 to 110,000 feet. Aircraft operated in a recoverable mode, but some refurbishment was required after each flight. Six candidate propulsion systems are considered in this paper.
