Manufacturing Methods and Technology Program for Ruggedized Tactical Fiber Optic Cable.
Abstract
This report covers Manufacturing Methods and Technology Program for Ruggedized Tactical Fiber Optic Cable. The scope of this quarter's effort, as reported herein, includes the following tasks and achievements: Cable Process Optimization: Complete final optimized engineering samples; Begin fiber fabrication for confirmatory sample phase; Deliver third engineering sample and test report (final optimized engineering samples). Use of Facilities: Achieve 100% of production rate on the high speed strander; Achieve 75% of production rate on the Kevlar serving line; Achieve 100% of production rate on the extrusion lines; Achieve 100% of production rate on the fiber spooling line; Characterize test stations and run time studies; Secondary Performance Milestones; Achieve 0.35 dB/km induced attenuation from cabling operation; Achieve 50% cable yield. In addition to reporting progress on these milestones the report covers any revisions or improvements in process, equipment, tooling, manufacturing flow, and specifications. Any changes in key personnel on the program are identified. The program milestones for the next quarter are listed.
