Abstract
Small units maneuvering on the battlefield have little time to establish data links and interface with the Global Information Grid (GIG) while trying to achieve an objective. The bandwidth and interface requirements necessary to receive live data from current strategic level systems limit the small unit operational user's ability to receive and act upon data and intelligence. Without the ability to interface with current strategic-level UAV assets, these small units are left without a comprehensive operational picture. Mini-UAVs offer the capability for the tactical user, in a variety of missions, to have direct control over the aerial asset without intervention from higher authority. Organic UAV assets can be used to collect data relevant to small units without the need for connecting to intelligence systems. This offers increased mobility and a dedicated collection platform; however, there are still drawbacks to this capability. This thesis examines mini-UAVs, and their integration into the Coalition Operating Area Surveillance and Targeting System (COASTS) network.

    NPSNETIV : an object-oriented interface for a three-dimensional virtual world 

    McMahan, Christopher B. (Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1994-12);
    All simulations require some type of user interface to be functional. The problem is that this interface is sometimes written as a tightly coupled part of the simulation itself, buried in the main body of code. This makes ...

    Metallization of CVD diamond using metal oxide intermediate layers for electronics packaging 

    Kroll, Darwin E (Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1997-03);
    The high thermal conductivity of chemically vapor deposited CVD diamond (up to 2000 W/m/K) and its low dielectric constant (approx. 5.6) makes it highly desirable for use as an electronics packaging substrate material. To ...
