THE RESEARCH EFFORT FOR THIS PROJECT IS DIVIDED INTO TWO PHASES.

THE RESEARCH EFFORT FOR THIS PROJECT IS DIVIDED INTO TWO PHASES. THE FIRST PHASE INVOLVES THE STUDY OF EXISTING HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE, IN WHICH SPARTA'S EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE IN WARHED DESIGN, CONTINUM MECHANICS PROGRAMS, AND CAD-CAM WILL BE USED TO DETERMINE SUITABLE FEATURES FOR INCORPORATION INTO THE DESIRED SYSTEM. THIS STUDY WILL ALSO PINPOINT ANY AREAS WHERE EXISTING TECHNOLOGY IS INADEQUATE TO MEET THE OBJECTIVE. PHASE TWO IS THE ACTUAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE INTEGRATED SYSTEM, INCLUDING ANY TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES NECESSARY TO OVERCOME CURRENT SHORTCOMINGS. PHASE TWO WILL CONCLUDE WITH THE DEMONSTRATION OF THE CAPABILITIES OF THE SYSTEM IN THE SOLUTION OF REAL-WORLD WARHEAD DESIGN PROBLEMS.
