Welcome
Mr. Holt's slides were done on a machine that does not appear to be
capable of generating PostScript files that are readable on any machine
other than itself.
On the slides, he discussed the mission of the Information &
Electromagnetic Technology Division (IETD), and presented an organization
chart showing the breakdown of the Division into 4 branches.
The mission of IETD is as follows:
- To conduct third-generation research focused on national needs at all
levels of information and electromagnetic system technologies
- To establish in cooperation with U.S. industry, technological precedents
in selected information and electromagnetic systems areas
- To transfer beneficial elements of this research within NASA and to
U.S. industry and other government agencies
The Branches and major areas of work within each are as follows:
- Assessment Technology Branch
- Formal Methods
- Software Engineering
- EM Upset
- Fly-By-Light/Power-By-Wire
- Electromagnetic Research Branch
- Antenna Design Methods
- EM Theory and Analysis
- Measurement and Evaluation Methods
- IR/MMW, EM Facilities
- Sensors Research Branch
- Microwave Sensors
- Optical/Laser Sensors
- Wake Vortex, HSR Vision
- Soil Moisture
- Systems Integration Branch
- Advanced Architectures
- Information and Sensor Fusion
