The thesis of this article is that cyber war technologies are spilling over into precision strike and nuclear mission areas. The result will transform deterrence and arms race stability and lead to other significant changes. The driver behind this is a combination of long standing problems with mobile missiles along with new technologies not usually factored into strategic assessments: big data...

An account has been given of two experiments in which three monkeys were carried in Jupiter missiles 300 miles inro space. In the first, a squirrel monkey survived in .good .condition till a mishap .occurred to the vehicle on re-entry. In the second, an American-born rhesus and a squirrel monkey were recovered uninjured. Details have been furnished covering the construction of the biocapsules, ...

The length and volume requirements of small gas turbines for missiles or propelled targets lead to combustor designs with high combustion intensity and large value of the air loading parameterA. The conventional combustors have used conditions corresponding toll values in the 1 to 10 kg m -3s 1 range. The increase off?required for combustors in missiles conduces for existing liners to a decreas...

As so-called “wooden rounds”, which are intended to sit stably in storage for extended periods and then function precisely as desired, at a moment’s notice, Air Force missiles would appear to be an ideal application for health monitoring. However, solid rocket motors that serve as the propulsion system for these missiles present a number of unique challenges for the development of integrated ve...

An optimal algorithm to do probe selection in causal chains is presented. Probes may have different costs of measurement. The algorithm runs in polynomial time. This research was supported in part by the Ballistic Missile Defense Advanced Technology Center under contract #DASG60-86-C-0015, the Office of Naval Research, under Agreement #N00014-85-K-0008 and the Defense Advanced Research Projects...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of a single static, ballistic, or proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching exercise on the various muscle-tendon parameters of the lower leg and to detect possible differences in the effects between the methods. Volunteers (n = 122) were randomly divided into static, ballistic, and PNF stretching groups and a control g...

Ballistic chorea (hemichorea–hemiballism) localizes to the subthalamic nucleus and its connections (video 1, figure, Aa) or the putamen (video 2, figure, Ab). Other large-amplitude hyperkinetic lesional movements can have similarly high localizing value. “Ballistic” tremor may develop months after recovering from ventrolateral thalamic strokes, in the thalamogeniculate vascular territory (video...
