Back Feasibility Study of Just in Time Magnetic Silencing

Fiscal Year 2014
Division Graduate School of Engineering & Applied Science
Department Systems Engineering

Summary This effort is the second year of a two year study whose overall objective is to assess the feasibility of providing a near-advanced degaussing (near-ADG) capability to non-ADG equipped ships through the application of a modular Just in Time magnetic silencing concept. This year will continue the systems engineering feasibility study, building on the 2013 work completed. A detailed analysis will be conducted of possible High Temperature Superconductor (HTS) applique kit architectures and installation options. Metrics for determining feasibility will be finalized. Requirements will be mapped to physical characteristics and a functional allocation and architecture constructed to generate alternative concepts. Alternative concepts will be ranked to identify the most feasible approach to JITMS application, along with expected operational benefits to that approach. If time permits, an initial life cycle engineering assessment will be conducted addressing total life cycle cost, applique kit deployment, operations and support requirement, and maintainability and reliability.
