Military market

Boat. By far the most important application of RP in marine structures, particularly with respect to volume consumed, has been in boat construction. This has occurred in both civilian and military markets. Growth continues where it already dominates the small boats with the larger boat market growing. 

Lightweight Chemical Detector (LCD-S) The LCD-S acts as a local warning alarm system for individuals and small groups of persons within the domestic or military market. It simultaneously detects, identifies, and differentiates between type of chemical warfare agent at below attack concentration, and warns users when to don personal protective equipment. 

The predominant market segment for electronic equipment on a worldwide value basis (1986) is computers, followed by products for government/military markets, then industrial/instrument, communications, and consumer sectors. In the U.S. the trend is similar, although the consumer market is a lower percentage (9). 

When the war ended, the military market was dramatically reduced. But Air Products had a capable oxygen plant, now ftilly mature, well-tested, and in large-scale production. 

The black powder business was old, fragmented, and declining in both sales and earnings. The dynamite business was newer, concentrated, growing and highly profitable. Smokeless powder, a firearms propellant, was still in its infancy. DuPont s smokeless powder business was aimed primarily at the military market, although some powder was sold in the sporting market. This business had just become profitable when the cousins consolidated the industry. ... 

The US pharmaceutical industry also has not been effectively engaged, in part because of strict financial rules that come with working with the government, and in part because military markets are too small to be interesting financially. DoD has been ineffective in... 

These adhesives are mostly used for the military market and are designed for service between 149°C and 260°C. Epoxy-phenolics, however, do not withstand exposure to 177°C as well as nitrile-phenolics. Since cure at 177°C tends to cause outgassing and foaming, 93°C cure for 24 hours is recommended. 

The described 3DNCOW approach is also suitable for producing some relatively complex net-shaped preforms, such as I, T, II, H, Y, as well as integral truss core and pile structures. Examples of such structural shapes designed and manufactured by 3TEX, Inc., can be found in Mohamed et al. (2001, 2003, 2005), Mohamed and Wetzel (2006), and Bogdanovich et al. (2008). Specific directions of those efforts have been determined by the practical industrial and military market needs and resulted in a broad spectrum of manufactured composite products. 

The Military. In addition to the portable power generation for the foot soldiers, the military market has been interested in developing medium-size power plants (a few hundred watts) for recharging various types of storage batteries and high stationary power plants (more than a few kW) for the auxiliary power units. 

Edlund, D. (2005) Development of a compact 250w portable power supply for commercial and military markets, presentation at the Fuel Cell Conference (November 15-17), Palm Springs, California, US,... 

With the development of ES technology, the military market segment has demonstrated increasing needs for ES devices to address a variety of power challenges based on fhe unique characferisfics of ESs. They provide quick power delivery, superior low femperature operation, and the ability to handle up to a million cycles. 

Aerospace and military markets are among the most challenging markets for plastics. Aerospace applications are generally decided upon when a new... 

Military applications tend to be more dispersed than aerospace applications, however, often with relatively small potential volumes, plus a somewhat longer application development, approval, and procurement cycle. Fortunately, product life cycles tend to be relatively long. Both aerospace and military markets tend to be kinder to material suppliers than processors. Once a material specification is written around a particular product tightly enough, end users and your competitors alike will have difficulty justifying the time and cost required to qualify alternate sources. 

The military market is particularly attractive as it often can be a sympathetic early adopter of new technologies, willing to accept high prices and limited performance if other application-specific requirements can be met (such as low noise, low thermal signature, long duration both in oper-... 

These adhesives are mostly used for the military market and are designed for service between 149°C and 260°C. Epoxy-phenolics, however, do not...
