Abstract
This thesis explores the deployment of a free electron laser (FEL) weapon system in a shipboard vibration environment. A concept solid model of a shipboard FEL is developed and used as a basis for a finite element model which is subjected to vibration simulation in MATLAB. Vibration input is obtained from ship shock trials data and wave excited motion data from ship motion simulation software. Emphasis is placed on the motion of electron beam path components of the FEL and the feasibility of operation aboard ship. The resulting component motion after passive isolation control is within the amplitudes and frequencies that will allow at sea FEL operation with active electron beam steering.

    An experiment to measure slant path extinction in the marine boundary layer. 

    Henderson, Daniel Glen (1978-06);
    An experiment to measure atmospheric extinction, along a slant path in the marine boundary layer, was devised and partially constructed. The slant path is from a kytoon, flown from a ship in motion, to a gyro-stabilized ...

    A study of wind stress determination methods from a ship and an offshore tower 

    Frederickson, Paul A.; Davidson, Kenneth L.; Edson, James B. (1997);
    Comparisons are made between surface wind stress measurements obtained by the inertial-dissipation and direct covariance methods on a stable offshore tower and by the inertial-dissipation and bulk methods on a ship. The ...

    Effects of simulated ship motion on the performance of underway officer of the deck 

    McComas, Lesa A. (1986-03);
    The objectives of this study were twofold: to identify those cognitive skills required by the shipboard officer of the deck (00D), and to determine if these skills are affected by simulated ship motion. The Position ...
