FULLY ADVANCED [15 records]

Record 1 2022-10-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Types of Aircraft
CONT

Revolutionary vehicles, which are expected to be a combination of passenger drone and traditional flying car, would be fully autonomous vehicles that can start or stop anywhere, with speed and range(distances greater than 200 miles) beyond passenger drones and the traditional flying cars. These vehicles have advanced VTOL [vertical takeoff and landing] capability and therefore can land and take off from almost anywhere because they may not require an established airport/vertiport. These would likely be piloted by a licensed pilot initially, but they could be made fully autonomous over time.

  • Missiles and Rockets
OBS

MASS-Multi Ammunition Softkill System. A fully computerized countermeasures system, it is interfaced to the ship's sensors and protects against attacks by advanced, sensor-guided missiles by launching airborne decoys.

OBS

Fully automatic, MASS offers significant tactical, operational, and logistical advantages, and can be installed on any type of ship. It can be integrated into all naval command and control systems, but can also operate in a stand-alone mode. MASS significantly enhances ship survivability through speed of response and the ability to put the required multi-purpose decoy rounds in the precise position necessary for optimum defence.

Système de mise hors de combat multimunitions. Un système de contre-mesures complètement informatisé est intégré aux capteurs du navire et le protège contre les attaques de missiles guidés haute technologie en lançant des leurres.

OBS

Ce système entièrement automatique qui peut être installé sur tout type de navire procure des avantages important aux niveaux tactique, opérationnel et logistique. Il peut être intégré à tous les systèmes de commande et de contrôle navals, mais il peut aussi fonctionner en mode autonome. Grâce à sa vitesse de réponse et à sa capacité à placer les rondes de leurres polyvalents dans la position précise qui assure une défense optimale, le système MASS améliore de façon importante la surviabilité des navires.

Record 4 2016-11-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Nuclear Fission Reactors
CONT

The Advanced Boiling Water Reactor(ABWR) is an improved design of [a] boiling water reactor. The ABWR was designed by General Electric as their generation III reactor. One chief improvement is that the recirculation pumps and piping are contained inside the reactor pressure vessel, thus making it impossible for them to leak outside of the vessel. Also, in the event of a loss of coolant accident(LOCA), plant response has been fully automated and operator action is not required for 3 days. These and other improvements make the plant significantly safer than previous reactors.

OBS

advanced boiling water reactor; ABWR: term and abbreviation extracted from the “Glossaire de l’énergie nucléaire” and reproduced with permission of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.

Subject field(s)
  • Nuclear Fission Reactors
CONT

... the reactivity of the advanced pressurized water reactor is controlled by three types of rods, conventional control rods, water displacer rods and gray rods.... In addition to the control rods and water displacer rods, the advanced PWR [pressurized water reactor] also has gray rods which are between the control rods and water displacer rods in neutron absorption capacity. These gray rods are used in control of the neutron population and, like the water displacer rods, are either fully inserted or fully withdrawn. Like the control rods, the water displacer rods and grays rods are mounted on spiders to form rod clusters which are operated simultaneously with clusters symmetrically located in each quadrant of the core to avoid radial distortion of the power distribution.

The SP2's [visual display system] memory also contains complete routes from one airport to another. Lufthansa was the first company to use the fully automated lesson plan on its B. 737-100 simulator in early 1979, in order to fly complete routes in simulator training. The key to this approach is the Modular Advanced Graphics Generation System, or MAGGS, developed by Redifon, which means that the instructor only has to push one button to obtain an entire training program, allowing his full attention to be given to the crew under training.
