CAP scientists and
engineers have had extensive successful
experience in translating highly complex
technology to mass production. One example
is the US Navy Nulka electronic warfare
decoy. The prototype decoys were designed to
allow high rate mass production of these
highly complex electronic assemblies.
Details of the technology remain classified,
however the success of the manufacturing and
deployment is well known. Key technical
issues involved high power microwave
devices, antenna systems, power supplies,
special orientation technology, and harsh
physical environments. The ultimate product
was refined to allow high rate
manufacturing. |

Unique devices to allow
secure, high reliability data links for the
Mark III data link were designed and
qualified by CAP personnel. Mass production
was critical to the timely development of
this unique system which is now deployed on
helicopters, surface ships, and submarines.
The manufacturing processes for the key
devices involved a wide range of technology
ranging from inert environment processing to
automated testing. |

|
The non-optical
capabilities of the US Navy Type 18
periscopes were enabled by devices designed
by CAP personnel. A wide range of materials
and process knowledge was applied to allow
the mass production of thousands of devices
to enable the ESM capability of these
essential military systems.

 |
Several advanced electronic warfare
systems were designed and taken to mass production by
CAP personnel. Each involved development of processes
and equipment which allowed the transition from
laboratory prototypes to mass produced military systems.

CAP is currently under contract to
commercialize a plasma technology which will address a
wide variety of applications from water treatment to
waste processing. As a final outcome of the contract,
CAP is required to establish two mass production
facilities, one in the US and one in Europe, to
economically manufacture this unique technology.
