It is now possible to detect such attacks quickly enough to permit treatment of potential victims prior to the onset of symptoms. The capability to \"detect to warn\", that is in time to take action to minimize human exposure, however, is still lacking. To help achieve such a capability, the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) asked the National Research Council (NRC) to assess the development path for \"detect to warn\" sensors systems. This report presents the results of this assessment including analysis of scenarios for protecting facilities, sensor requirements, and detection technologies and systems. Findings and recommendations are provided for the most probable path to achieve a detect-to-warn capability and potential technological breakthroughs that could accelerate its attainment.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57466769736053,"sku":"9780309095761","price":71.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780309095761.jpg?v=1785654830"},{"product_id":"modeling-and-simulation-in-manufacturing-and-defense-acquisition","title":"Modeling and Simulation in Manufacturing and Defense Acquisition","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Committee on Modeling and Simulation Enhancements for 21st Century Manufacturing and Acquisition was formed by the NRC in response to a request from the Defense Modeling and Simulation Office (DMSO) of DOD. The committee was asked to (1) investigate next-generation evolutionary and revolutionary M\u0026amp;S capabilities that will support enhanced defense systems acquisition; (2) identify specific emerging design, testing, and manufacturing process technologies that can be enabled by advanced M\u0026amp;S capabilities; (3) relate these emerging technologies to long-term DOD requirements; (4) assess ongoing efforts to develop advanced M\u0026amp;S capabilities and identify gaps that must be filled to make the emerging technologies a reality; (5) identify lessons learned from industry; and (6) recommend specific government actions to expedite development and to enable maximum DOD and U.S. commercial benefit from these capabilities. To complete its task, the committee identified relevant trends and their impact on defense acquisition needs; current use and support for use of M\u0026amp;S within DOD; lessons learned from commercial manufacturing; three cross-cutting and especially challenging uses of M\u0026amp;S technologies; and the areas in which basic research is needed in M\u0026amp;S in order to achieve the desired goals for manufacturing and defense acquisition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57481641525621,"sku":"9780309084826","price":80.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780309084826.jpg?v=1786089924"},{"product_id":"transfer-of-pollution-prevention-technologies","title":"Transfer of Pollution Prevention Technologies","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe activities of the Department of Defense (DOD) and its contractors in manufacturing, testing, maintaining, and disposing of military equipment make up a significant portion of the industrial processes conducted in the United States. As is the case with the commercial industries, some of these activities, such as metal plating, have resulted in industrial pollution and environmental contamination. With increasing environmental regulation of such processes in recent decades, defense facilities have been faced with growing compliance issues. Department of Defense efforts to manage, correct, and prevent these problems have included the establishment of the National Defense Center for Environmental Excellence (NDCEE) under the management of the U.S. Army Industrial Ecology Center (IEC).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe National Research Council's Committee to Evaluate Transfer of Pollution Prevention Technology for the U.S. Army was formed to identify major barriers to the transfer of pollution prevention technologies and to recommend pathways to success. To address the study objectives, the committee (1) reviewed the NDCEE's technology transfer activities, (2) examined efforts to transfer technology in four areas, two of which were identified at the outset by the NDCEE as successful and two of which were identified as unsuccessful, and (3) identified opportunities for improving the transfer of pollution prevention technologies to maintenance and rework facilities in the Department of Defense and to industrial manufacturing facilities performing defense-related operations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57573141414261,"sku":"9780309084024","price":41.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780309084024.jpg?v=1789395536"},{"product_id":"linkages","title":"Linkages","description":"Over the past two decades, the Department of Defense has been moving toward commercial-military integration for manufacturing, while at the same time, the printed circuit board industry has been moving steadilyoffshore. Today, many in DoD, the U.S. Congress, and the federal government lack a clear understanding of the importance of high-quality, trustworthy printed circuit boards (PrCBs) for properly functioningweapons and other defense systems and components. To help develop this understanding, DOD requested the NRC to identify and assess the key issues affecting PrCBs for military use. This report presents a discussion of how to ensure DOD's access to reliable printed circuits; an assessment of its vulnerability to the global printed circuit supply chain; and suggestions about ways to secure the design and manufactureof printed circuits. In addition, this report offers recommendations to help DoD (1) preserve existing systems' capabilities, (2) improve the military's access to currently available PrCBs, and (3) ensure access to future PrCB technology. The recommendations reflect the need to achievethese goals at reasonable cost and in concert with evolving environmental regulations.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57573168611701,"sku":"9780309100342","price":41.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780309100342.jpg?v=1789395658"}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/collections\/author-board-on-manufacturing-and-engineering-design.oembed","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
