Consortium Membership with University of Delaware’s Center for Composite Materials
SURVICE Engineering’s consortium membership with the University of Delaware’s Center for Composite Materials (UD-CCM) has proven to be a great opportunity to work hand-in-hand with a world class institution. This partnership has enriched our Research and Development (R&D) activities and has allowed us to successfully collaborate on multiple Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grants.
The University of Delaware’s 34,000-ft2 composite science and manufacturing laboratory, state-of-the-art research equipment and facilities, and highly experienced faculty and staff with more than 30 years in the materials industry, provide a world-class composites research capability.
SURVICE and UD-CCM’s recent teaming led to a Phase II SBIR award with the Navy to streamline and automate maintenance activities for composite structures on next-generation aircraft. As part of the initial Phase I activities, SURVICE worked with a senior design team from the mechanical engineering department at UD to design new equipment to be used as part of an integrated and non-destructive inspection tool. SURVICE looks forward to building on the success of this effort and continuing the development of these advanced capabilities through the UD-CCM consortium.

2009 SPIE Defense, Security, and Sensing Conference
From April 13 through 17, SURVICE will attend the SPIE Defense, Security, and Sensing Conference in Orlando, Florida. This event is considered to be the most heavily attended event within the Defense, Security, and Sensing industries. Several of SURVICE’s staff will be on hand to discuss their latest findings and developments within the field of VV&A.
Several briefings are to be presented, one of which will address our graphical fault-tree development tool TremorTM.
Another topic to be discussed is the process of validating models and simulations of complex systems, which was originally developed for the Office of the Secretary of Defense. A credible solution and example of validating a sensor system model will be provided to illustrate the process. The last briefing will discuss the V&V approach and results of the U.S. Army Fusion-Oriented C4ISR Utility Simulation, also known as FOCUS. This information will be presented in the form of a case study and will address the V&V efforts to date.
If you or your company is interested in more information regarding these topics, please contact Mark Butkiewicz at mark@survice.com or 410-297-2378.

SURVICE Engineering, Chesapeake Testing, and UTRON Inc. Conduct First Collaborative Arena Test
On Tuesday, October 7, 2008, the SURVICE Engineering Company, Chesapeake Testing, and UTRON Inc. collaboratively performed a successful blast characterization arena test at UTRON’s High Energy Test Facility in Ashton, WV. The test demonstrated the team’s capability to plan, set up, and conduct a full-scale arena test and to collect and analyze blast effects data. In addition, the test provided the team with an opportunity to exercise its full suite of data acquisition systems.
The test involved statically detonating a bare high-explosive charge in an outside arena. Within the arena were two target test stands—one with a paper target and one with a composite armor panel—positioned to study the effects of the charge’s blast wave, including any resulting delamination of the armor. Data collection equipment included real-time and high-speed video cameras and a series of blast pressure gauges positioned across the arena. Blast data from the test were also used to validate modeling and simulation tools that were used in the post-test analysis of the blast event. To see a video of the test, click here.
SURVICE (www.survice.com) and Chesapeake Testing (www.chesapeaketesting.com) were principally responsible for test planning, coordination, and post-test data analysis, while UTRON (www.utroninc.com) was principally responsible for preparing the range facility, constructing the test arena and stands, setting up the test instrumentation, and performing post-test processing on the instrument data and video. In addition, a crew from Chimera Enterprises International (www.chimera.bz) conducted the explosives handling and demolition functions.
Based on the success of this test, as well as the inquiries from a number of armor manufacturers and other customers, plans are being made to conduct additional outdoor ballistic tests with a variety of threats, including improvised explosive devices (IEDs), rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs), and explosively formed penetrators (EFPs).
