MODELING GLOBAL NAVIGATION SATELLITE SYSTEM POSITIONAL ERROR EFFECTS ON GEOGRAPHIC ROUTING PROTOCOLS
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2020-06)
Recent work on geographic routing protocols has shown that Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Position Navigation and Timing (PNT) positional error directly affects message delivery rates (MDRs) within Delay and ...
CHARACTERIZATION OF SURFACE ROUGHNESS ALONG THE ROCKY COASTLINE USING STEREO PHOTOGRAPHY TECHNIQUES
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2020-06)
High-resolution images have been used to estimate and characterize the roughness of the rocky seafloor in terms of small-scale roughness and power spectral density. The application of this work is acoustical modeling of ...
TECHNIQUES FOR THE DETERMINATION OF PARTICLE GROWTH FACTORS IN REAL TIME
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2020-06)
A technique developed by Snider and Petters in 2008 is used to determine hygroscopic growth factors of aerosol particles. Simultaneous measurements from two optical particle-size spectrometers are used, where one measures ...
DO CORPORATE OFFICERS’ POLITICAL CONNECTIONS AFFECT DOD CONTRACTOR PROFITABILITY? A 10-YEAR, DATA-DRIVEN ANALYSIS OF U.S. PUBLIC FIRMS
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2020-06)
This project uses a disciplined, data-driven approach to analyze the effect that political connection has on possible excessive profits of Department of Defense (DoD) contractors. Such connections could influence government ...
ANALYSIS OF PRICE AND PROGRAM GROWTH IN OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE, NAVY
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2020-06)
For decades, operation and maintenance (O&M) has been growing as a share of the defense budget. To understand the drivers of that growth, we examined OP-32 and OP-32A data, which are the summary of price and program changes ...
BUBBLE CLOUD ACOUSTIC SPECTROGRAPHY IN THE JAMES RIVER ESTUARY
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2020-06)
The James River Estuary hosts a salt wedge during its tidal cycle that is typical in estuarine environments but is atypical in its V-shape. Linear frequency-modulated acoustic signals in the 500–5000 Hz range were transmitted ...
COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS MODELING OF A SUBMERGED BODY IN A TOW TANK WITH WAVE GENERATION
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2020-06)
A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of the NPS tow tank with wave generation and a submerged body was created to investigate different methods of solid body modeling using commercial CFD software ANSYS CFX. A ...
DESIGNED TO FAIL: PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION AND PRESIDENTIALISM IN LATIN AMERICA
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2020-06)
Operating under the assumption that proportional representation (PR) systems strengthen rather than undermine democracies, scholars have largely ignored the question of how this particular system interacts with presidentialism ...
LEVERAGING PREDICTIVE ANALYTICS TO ASSESS 7TH FLEET SUSTAINMENT
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2020-06)
Increasing operational availability through logistics readiness is critical to ensure maximum safety and capability of forward deployed ships. The increased operational tempo that forward deployed ships encounter causes ...
