U.S. Government funds were used to defray research and development costs. The aerospace plane is another opportunity for companies to develop new materials with Government support. However, military support for advanced-performance materials development is rapidly decreasing, both in appropriate test beds and in manufacturing support such as the U.S. Defense Department s Mantech program.

In exchange for lucrative Defense Department contracts, O Brien claims that at age 13, she was actually sold by her father to U.S. Senator Robert Byrd of Virginia, who was also head of the powerful Senate Appropriations Committee. As a Presidential Model she would be set up with various foreign leaders. Keywords would be given by the party she would meet and this would allow access to the personality or compartment in her memory that held the message. At 27 years of age O Brien would deliver such a message to the future president of Mexico. ...

Ted Harding came on a number of trips with me to visit Defense Department sites and was always affable, but never really helped steer our program into a meaningful direction. What was needed was a dynamic leader, who understood image technology or how to sell a totally novel material. Or both ... 

Exploration of IRFPA sources in early 1994 revealed that several Defense Department contract manufacturers produced InSb (1-5.5 pm) and HgCdTe (or MCT for 2-12 pm) 256 x 256 and smaller arrays (<65, 536 total pixels on 30 pm centers) with built-in multiplexers for imaging projects (21). One requirement for pulsed spectroscopic applications is that an array be run in snapshot rather than normal imaging strobing readout format. This characteristic is necessary because a constantly strobing...

Much of the Defense Department s research allotment, however, is spent on specialized applications in defense systems, including the Star Wars shield, with limited potential for any commercial spinoff. Defense missions, according to OTA, shape even the basic research supported by the Pentagon. The Department of Energy s share is distributed mostly to the national laboratories, which have yet to demonstrate the ability to transfer technologies rapidly and effectively to the private sector.

At the same time, Hercules was forced to cut back on another of its major product lines, those of its aerospace products group. During the 1980s it had been a principal contractor for the Defense Department s rocket motor systems. The group s products came to include those for the Trident If and SCAM missiles, and the Trident IV and Delta 11 Space Launch Programs. In 1989 Hercules had to post a 96 million loss for taking 327 million overcharges on these products. Then the explosion of the Trident IV in 1991 led to further losses. Finally, in 1995, Hercules sold off its aerospace business. ...
