ASSAY FOR ANTIBACTERIALS AFFECTING INITIATION FACTOR 3

Not Available The project objectives are: 1. Develop a paper Design Guideline outline which will form the basis of an electronic guideline for hardening spacecraft against laser and ratio frequency (RF) effects. 2. Select a database of laser and RF effects and hardening data. 3. Develop and demonstrate a prototype SPDG framework using HTML technology. 4. Develop selective interactive tools and embed them in SPDG to provide the capability of estimating laser and RF effects and the utility of hardening approaches. SPDG fulfills a significant shortfall in the capability of space vehicle designers and developers to address emerging directed energy threats. SPDG will: identify which spacecraft components are susceptible to which effects at a given DE environment level, identify and prioritize hardening approaches, and provide immediate feedback on the effect of hardening changes to design. The SPDG approach will take advantage of Microsoft's Internet development technologies to create a Windows-based, user-friendly electronic guideline, with links to embedded calculational tools. Using the Common Object Model (COM) architecture, modules can be rapidly built up, and the resulting tool can be used as a stand-alone program, or can be linked to other Air Force models, such as those that calculate DE generation or propagation. SPDG evaluates the environment interaction with the spacecraft, identifies potential effects, identifies appropriate hardening options, and calculates the effect of har
