Rate 2/3 8-PSK codes of 4, 8, 16, and 64 states were tested by simulation. The codes used are those found in Ungerboeck's original search. The results found were in close agreement with those predicted by analytical means in literature. The Ungerboeck codes of 8, 16, and 64 states show coding gains of 0.2, 0.3, and 0.86 dB, respectively, relative to the four state code. Worthwhile gains are obtained in increasing the number of states of the encoder up through 64.<>

In February 1990, the defense mapping agency (DMA) opened the Warrior Support Center (WSC), a facility to orient warfighters, trainers, and supporting system developers on current and future mapping, charting, and geodetic (MC&G) products and their use in the modern combat environment. The facility provides developmental test and evaluation areas to bring service, unified and specified command, and intelligence users into MC&G product related concept and analysis activities earlier and to promote interoperability. The author presents an overview of the WSC and R&D activities planned at the WSC during 1991.<>

It is noted that total quality management (TQM) literature traditionally either focuses on examples from manufacturing industries or provides strategic insights for upper managers. However, much of the work done in the aerospace and defense industries involves technical services. It is suggested that, with shrinking government budgets, the ability to perform project-level technical services using quality-centered approaches becomes a competitive factor. The author addresses these shortcomings in the literature by providing practical lessons learned from successful aerospace technical services projects using TQM principles. The lessons learned include observations on successes and failures. Recommendations for implementation in projects are provided. It is concluded that, for a technical services company, the organizational unit which will benefit the most from TQM is the one that interfaces directly with customers-the project.<>

The authors present an overview of the application of various memory technologies for flight data recorder (FDR) systems. Memories considered include battery-backed static RAM, full-featured EEPROM, flash EEPROM, and optical disks. FDR systems are particularly dependent on nonvolatile memory technologies, which must be selected based on the various functional, environmental, and cost-associated requirements of the applicable system. In order to select the memory technology best suited for a particular system application, a thorough understanding of the various specifications of each memory component type is required. The authors discuss these issues in detail.<>

The author describes the effort required to interface two case tools, Teamwork for software analysis and design, and 'T' for software testing. He documents and shares experiences about interconnecting these CASE (computer-aided software engineering) tools. The interconnection was constructed to transfer information from Teamwork to 'T' automatically, thus reducing the amount of labor required to translate from one tool to the other.<>

The Boeing Company is involved in independent research and development activity targeted at studying the partitioning and system control protocols of the Pave Pace architecture. One aspect of the system being investigated is the use of data coupling, involving the implementation of a globally accessible memory called the system virtual memory (SVM) for each computational bus in the system. The use of this SVM would have a dramatic impact on system control protocols, fault tolerance, and software partitioning in the resulting system design. The SVM described is a version formalized from the Air-to-Air Attack Management contract. Specific topics include a conception description of the SVM; a summary of its operation and intended use; and its impact on system control protocols, fault tolerance and failure recovery, and software partitioning.<>

Based on a self-organized, probabilistic neural network (PNN) paradigm, a parallel network can be used to sort data parameters into classes with high-sorting accuracy and low fragmentation. The capabilities of the sorter, as applied to ESM (electronic support measure) pulse-data sorting, are shown. The PNN implements the statistical Bayesian strategy by computing a joint probability density over all input data parameters to match a group of candidate data classes. The sorting is accomplished by assigning the inputs to the most likely group with highest probability density estimate. Based on test data from an ESM system, the PNN has shown significant improvement over conventional rule-based techniques. The parallel computer architecture of PNN is well-suited for VLSI chip implementation. An 80000 gate semicustom chip design is described.<>

Attention is given to the Common Ada Missile Packages (CAMPs), a large collection of generic real-time embedded missile software that allows users to implement many applications, such as navigation routines, Kalman filters, and mathematical operations. In addition to a library of 'reusable' software, a parts engineering system (PES) was developed under the CAMP program. The use of CAMP for avionics software applications was investigated. It was found that CAMP in its current state was not suitable for avionics applications. The attempts to create avionics software with CAMP led to an abundance of observations concerning the writing and use of reusable software for avionics applications. The results of the avionics software reuse research are described. The authors also identify some of the errors found in the CAMP software and list recommendations that need to be adopted if widescale application of reusable software is to be a success.<>

In a frequency-agile magnetron radar, the cavity frequency tracking system of the tuning magnetron is used to control the transmitted pulse sequences and carry out the auto-track of the local oscillator. An experimental scheme of a small steady-state error tracking system is proposed, and the principle of the tracking system is described. The time-domain and frequency-domain performance of the tracking system is discussed. Experimental results indicate that this system has a high tracking accuracy.<>
