    Abstract: A clip for retaining a chip tray and lid, including in one example a pair of side walls, a rear wall, an upper peripheral edge extending from an upper section of each of the side walls and the rear wall and defining an upper region open area therebetween. A lower peripheral edge extending from a lower section of each of the side walls and the rear wall and defining a lower region open area therebetween. A front opening configured to receive the chip tray and lid. The chip tray has a plurality of pockets configured to hold the semiconductor devices. In one example the lid includes a shock absorbing layer and an electrostatic dissipative layer integrated into an interior of the lid.

    Abstract: A V-band clamp includes first and second clamp sections each having an arcuate shape with a first end, a second end, and inside surface defining a recessed channel. A hinge pivotably connects the second end of the first clamp section to the first end of the second clamp section. At least one fastener is configured to releasably connect the first end of the first clamp section to the second end of the second clamp section in a closed position. When the V-band clamp is in the closed position, each fastener extends through an opening in an end face on the first end of the first clamp section and into a bore in an end face on the second end of the second clamp section.

    Abstract: A narrow band antenna is configured to guide a munition toward a target location during a flight of the munition from a launch location toward the target location. The antenna has a first mode of operation operable during a first portion of the flight at a first bandwidth, and a second mode of operation operable during a second portion of the flight at a second bandwidth, the second bandwidth being a harmonic of the first bandwidth, and may be a third harmonic of the first bandwidth. The method includes transmitting a target location information to the munition in the first bandwidth during the first portion of the flight and then transmitting the target location information to the munition in the second bandwidth during the second portion of the flight. The first band may be X-band and the second band may be Ka-band.

    Abstract: A mechanical thermal battery initiator for a round where the initiator has a firing pin positioned to strike a primer of a thermal battery upon activation. After installation of the initiator/battery assembly in a round, the end user need not perform any further tasks until firing the munition. At launch, any safety device installed to prevent unintended activation is removed or switched to an active state. When launched, the initiator is subjected to centripetal force and acceleration causing a setback ring to release ball bearings and a spring force from a firing pin spring to push a firing pin into contact with a primer to initiate power on the round.

    Abstract: An approach for transmitting and receiving Link 16 messages for long ranges and includes a Link 16 terrestrial transmitter, a Link 16 satellite receiver including an antenna, and a controller. The approach aligns the antenna to the Link 16 terrestrial transmitter to determine a minimum distance to an area of interest of the Link 16 terrestrial transmitter, thereby estimating a range of a link from the Link 16 terrestrial transmitter to the Link 16 satellite receiver. From the range, calculating the message propagation time. Providing a second, shifted, time slot at the Link 16 satellite, shifted by the message propagation time. Processing the signal from the Link 16 terrestrial transmitter in the second, shifted, time slot to produce a message from the Link 16 terrestrial transmitter, and presenting the message to a host.

    Abstract: A continuously adjustable optical beam splitter includes a circular to linear polarization converter, a polarization rotator, and a polarization beam splitter that apportions light between two outputs. The polarization converter can include a quarter wave plate. The polarization rotator can include a mechanically rotated half wave plate or an electronically controlled liquid crystal variable retarder. The light source can be astronomical, reflected LIDAR light, or a laser beam from a remote laser communication node. Also disclosed is a free space laser communication terminal that implements the disclosed optical beam splitter, wherein the optical beam splitter diverts substantially all received laser light to an alignment channel during initial alignment, and then during message communication diverts more than 90%, and in embodiments up to 98%, of the received light to a communication channel, while alignment is maintained by continuing to divert the remaining laser light to the alignment channel.

    Abstract: An ordnance includes a nose cone configured to be attached to a fuze or a warhead. The nose cone, when attached or coupled to the fuze or warhead, covers the fuze and at least a portion of the warhead to provide the ordnance with an aerodynamic profile. The nose cone has a shape that improves the aerodynamic profile of the ordnance as compared to ordnance that does not include a cover over the fuze. The improved aerodynamic profile enables the ordnance to achieve a greater range (approximately 20% or more) than ordnance that does not have a separate nose cone covering the fuze.
