Geokinetic Effects on Motion Sensitive Instrumentation, Systems and Facilities.
Abstract
This report describes research supporting continued refinement and expansion of ground motion knowledge crucial to USAF/DoD/NASA operations and plans. Primary emphasis was directed towards the seismic and seismo-acoustic attributes of field sites and facilities. The effects of ground motion, natural and man-made, on the performance of motion sensitive components, instrumentation and strategic systems were also investigated. Research studies included upgrading the Geokinetic Data Acquisition System (GDAS); operating the system at USAF designated field sites; developing and implementing computational techniques for data analysis; investigating the information capacity for communicating seismically in Basin and Range Valleys; and forecasting the seismo-acoustic environment for Space Transportation System (STS) launches at Vandenberg AFB. Also considered in lesser detail was the improvement of intrusion detection systems; evaluation of seismo-acoustic waves; and the expansion and upgrade of archival seismic files.
