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 effort, as reported herein, includes the following tasks and achievements: (a) Cable process optimization -- (1) Produce trial runs of confirmatory; (2) Complete lay length samples (two lays); (3) Perform optical and mechanical tests on trial confirmatory samples; and (4) Produce samples and evaluate polyurethanes (three types). (b) Use of facilities -- (1) Operate high speed strander, Kevlar braider, and extruder at production speeds. (c) Secondary performance -- (1) Evaluate low temperature performance.
