reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA458320 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The U.S. Army Research Laboratory sought a Short-Term Analysis Services STAS program funded through Army Research Office ARO with Mide in the research, design, and development of an adaptive control system to mitigate the shock wave impact on an isolation system during and after a ballistic event. This report documents the initial work performed by Mide.
