Lahr told key personnel representing each department and group on Center at this year's CFC kick-off luncheon Friday. The drive starts today and end. Oct. 31. I 'The organizai.ions represented do a good job and serve a tremendous purpose," the Skipper said. "We can all be proud of this uniquely American concept of people helping people." Capt. Lahr was joined by Burrell Hays, NWC Technical Director, and Gerry Schiefer. Laboratory Director, who served as master of ceremonies for the lunch, in emphasizing how important it is that all military and civilian personnel on board have the opportunity to contribute to this "once for all" annual campaign. Harry Talbot, a United Way re- presentative from Bakersfield, who is assisting with the campaign locally, noted that a change in Office of Personnel Management regulations has increased the number of agencies that are now represented by the CFC. Both he and the Skipper pointed out that this change meant that there would be some agencies described in the campaign brochure that would be bound to upset nearly anyone, but also this meant that each person would have a wlder range of choices of groups to whom they could designate a . contribution. Up to five separate agencies may be designated to receive any or all ofa person's contribution, or the donation can be designated to a group of agencies (such as the United Way of Indian Wells Valley, the nwc SKILLS COMBI~EO - Louis Shanteler watches liS Chuck Jones operlltes the bus adapter for testing the dual mode tracker for A·4M and AV-18 aircraft.

Nauonal Health Agencies, National Service Agencies or International Service Agen- cies), or the donation can he undesignated. Schiefer said that the CFC was formed in 1957 as an effort to coordinate fund-raising efforts. He mentioned the benefits that he and his family have received from association with such agencies in the campaign as the Boy Scouts and the Children's Home Society, and added that, as a result, he has no doubts at all about the efficacy, need and desirability of the campaign. LCdr. Terry Callaghan, one of the cam- paign co-chainnen (with Lorelta King) explained how vital it is this year that more private money be poured into the helping agencies because of both increased needs and decreased federal funding. He also said that the majority of money given will remain in the Indian Wells Valley even if it is not designated to any particular agency, but expressed the wish that everyone designate the agency or group of agencies to which thatdonation should go. Three of the four major campaign groups were represented by speakers at the lun- cheon. Bob Carl, representing the International Service Agencies, said that in his 3O-year- career as a Foreign Service Officer he had had the opportunity to see how much impact the International Service Agencies had had .in the 64 countries in which they serve 40 'million people. He said that in the poor of the world are the seedbuda of revolution and international conflict, and quoted President Reagan as saying that by relieving the problems of these people now "we can keep them out ofour future." Dan Banks spoke for the National Health Agencies. He commented that his own in- volvement began with helping to set up a Health Fair at Cerro Coso Community College. This has now grown to a point that (Cof1tinuedon Page4) October1,1982 "01. XXXVII.

The ARBS, produced for the Navy by Hughes Aircraft Company, uses a dual mode (laser spot or television) tracker (DMT) to provide target acquisition and tracking. This same DMT is also being incorporated into the AV-3B aircraft presenUy under development for the Marine Corps by the McDonnell Douglas Aircraft Company. Personnel in the Aircrait Weapons In- tegration Department have been ex- tensively involved in both the A-4M and AV- 8B projects, and they take considerable pride in !nell" con,noutions to both projects. A major accompH"'m""t has been the design and development of a bus adapter that has eliminated the need for developing a cosUy new production test system for the AV-3BDMT. Using the NW~eveloped bus adap'~r, Hughes Aircraft ComPany can employ existing A..M production test equipment to test the AV-3B DMT. In addition, the development of this bus adapter has provided NWC with the capability to simulate the Hughes test equipment and conduct tests of the AV-3B here at China Lake. TMCM McAliester takes over duties of The major credit for designing and developing the bus adapter goes to V. E. "Gene" Thomas, AV-8B lead systems engineer in the A-4MiAV-3B Program Of- fice. , Master Chief Petty Officer of Command ~ster ctuef Torpedoman's ~te Jesse w. McAllester has taken over the duties of Master Chief Petty Officer of the Command at the Naval Weapons Center. Aveteran of nearly 32 years of active duty in the military service, TMCM McAllester succeeds ACa; Kent Savary, who served "" NWC's CMPCO during the interim between the departure of AFCM Richard L. Brant (who retired on June 30) and the arrival of Master ChiefMcAllester in late August. TMCM McAllester has spent the major portion ofhis more than three decades in the military service on board submarines or performing duties related to these un- derwater craft. He was transferred here from the Naval Undersea Warfare Engineering ·Station at Keyport, Wash., where (for five years) he was the chief in charge of research and development work on torpedos. Prior to 1977 he was assigned for three years as a torpedoman on the staff of Submarine Group 5 in San Diego, where he was a trouble-shooter tasked to find solutions to problems related to torpedos and torpedo-launching equipment. NWC's new Master Chief Petty Officer of the Command (CMCPO) broke into the military service by enlistrng in the Coast Guard in 1950. After hasic training, he served the remainder of a 3-year hitch on board a weather patrol gunboat homeported at Long Beach, Calif. TMCM Jesse W. McAllester He was discharged from the Coast Guard as a boatswain's mate 3rd class, and waited another year before enlisting in the Navy at Wichita Falls, Tex., in 1954. He joined the Navy as a seaman, but subsequenUy changed to the torpedoman rate, and (as torpedoman 3rd class) was sent to New London, Conn., to join the crew of the submarine USS lrex. Additional duty followed from 1958 to 1967 on board the Sculpin, Pennit and Roncador, underwater craft that were homebased either at Long Beach or San Die~o. This duty included Western Pacific cruises of 6- to 7-rnontha' duration to the Philippines, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong and down into Th.~i1!!"d ills promotion to chief petty officer oc- curred in 1967, while he was on the USS' Paya, an old World War II Fleet submarine, ,and he then served two 'years (1969-71) as a company commander at the Naval Training Center in San Diego. It was back to sea after that - this time aboard the submarine USS Trout as the weapons division officer and chief-in~harge of the torpedo rooms. During his lengthy career serving on tContinudi on Page 3f Two other NWC employees of the A-IIAV- 8 Facility Branch were also involved in this erfort. C. R. Jones, an electronics engineer, designed the circuit, and Louis Sbanteler, an electronics tecbnlcian, coordinated LiIe mechanical work and did the actual elec- trical fabrication. Essentially, the bus adapaer makes it possible to convert the signal flow from existing HU8hes A-4M production test equipment to an AV-3B multiplexed com- munication format. In other words, any A- 4M airborne computer or test equipment that is used to communicate with an A-4M DMTcan now operate with an AV-3B DMT._ In addition to the significant cost savings realized by the development of the bus adapter, equally impressive is how quickly the concept was made a reality. In January 1982, NWC received the go- ahead t8 develop the bill adapter. The first breadboard bus adapter was ready for testing by April, and by June the fU'Sl unit was ready for delivery to Hughes Aircraft Company. By the end of the year, NWC will hav, provided a toIal of seven bus adapters for testing ofthe AV-3B DMT. The breadboard prototype was fabricated by NWC; the seven units that are to be delivered to Hughes Aircraft will be . fabricated · by the Ridgecrest facijity of SIMUTECH. ; , OCR Text: October 1 1982 ROCKETEER Page Eight display Topnotch color photos on beginning today at_local museum A selection of outstanding color photographs will be on display in the Sylvia Winslow Exhibit Gallery of the Maturango Museum from Oct. 3 through 31.

He said that in the poor of the world are the seedbuda of revolution and international conflict, and quoted President Reagan as saying that by relieving the problems of these people now "we can keep them out ofour future." Dan Banks spoke for the National Health Agencies. He commented that his own in- volvement began with helping to set up a Health Fair at Cerro Coso Community College. This has now grown to a point that (Cof1tinuedon Page4) October1,1982 "01. XXXVII. No. 39 NAVAL WEAPONS CENTER CHINA LAKE CALIFORNIA Angle Rate Bombing System will be ready soon for Marines' A-4M aircraft By the end of this year, Marine Corps pilot. in the F\eM will be fl7in8 A..M air- craft with the Angle, Rate Bombing System (ARBS). The ARBS, produced for the Navy by Hughes Aircraft Company, uses a dual mode (laser spot or television) tracker (DMT) to provide target acquisition and tracking. This same DMT is also being incorporated into the AV-3B aircraft presenUy under development for the Marine Corps by the McDonnell Douglas Aircraft Company. Personnel in the Aircrait Weapons In- tegration Department have been ex- tensively involved in both the A-4M and AV- 8B projects, and they take considerable pride in !nell" con,noutions to both projects. A major accompH"'m""t has been the design and development of a bus adapter that has eliminated the need for developing a cosUy new production test system for the AV-3BDMT. Using the NW~eveloped bus adap'~r, Hughes Aircraft ComPany can employ existing A..M production test equipment to test the AV-3B DMT. In addition, the development of this bus adapter has provided NWC with the capability to simulate the Hughes test equipment and conduct tests of the AV-3B here at China Lake. TMCM McAliester takes over duties of The major credit for designing and developing the bus adapter goes to V. E. "Gene" Thomas, AV-8B lead systems engineer in the A-4MiAV-3B Program Of- fice. , Master Chief Petty Officer of Command ~ster ctuef Torpedoman's ~te Jesse w. McAllester has taken over the duties of Master Chief Petty Officer of the Command at the Naval Weapons Center. Aveteran of nearly 32 years of active duty in the military service, TMCM McAllester succeeds ACa; Kent Savary, who served "" NWC's CMPCO during the interim between the departure of AFCM Richard L. Brant (who retired on June 30) and the arrival of Master ChiefMcAllester in late August. TMCM McAllester has spent the major portion ofhis more than three decades in the military service on board submarines or performing duties related to these un- derwater craft. He was transferred here from the Naval Undersea Warfare Engineering ·Station at Keyport, Wash., where (for five years) he was the chief in charge of research and development work on torpedos. Prior to 1977 he was assigned for three years as a torpedoman on the staff of Submarine Group 5 in San Diego, where he was a trouble-shooter tasked to find solutions to problems related to torpedos and torpedo-launching equipment. NWC's new Master Chief Petty Officer of the Command (CMCPO) broke into the military service by enlistrng in the Coast Guard in 1950. After hasic training, he served the remainder of a 3-year hitch on board a weather patrol gunboat homeported at Long Beach, Calif. TMCM Jesse W. McAllester He was discharged from the Coast Guard as a boatswain's mate 3rd class, and waited another year before enlisting in the Navy at Wichita Falls, Tex., in 1954. He joined the Navy as a seaman, but subsequenUy changed to the torpedoman rate, and (as torpedoman 3rd class) was sent to New London, Conn., to join the crew of the submarine USS lrex. Additional duty followed from 1958 to 1967 on board the Sculpin, Pennit and Roncador, underwater craft that were homebased either at Long Beach or San Die~o. This duty included Western Pacific cruises of 6- to 7-rnontha' duration to the Philippines, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong and down into Th.~i1!!"d ills promotion to chief petty officer oc- curred in 1967, while he was on the USS' Paya, an old World War II Fleet submarine, ,and he then served two 'years (1969-71) as a company commander at the Naval Training Center in San Diego. It was back to sea after that - this time aboard the submarine USS Trout as the weapons division officer and chief-in~harge of the torpedo rooms. During his lengthy career serving on tContinudi on Page 3f Two other NWC employees of the A-IIAV- 8 Facility Branch were also involved in this erfort. C. R. Jones, an electronics engineer, designed the circuit, and Louis Sbanteler, an electronics tecbnlcian, coordinated LiIe mechanical work and did the actual elec- trical fabrication. Essentially, the bus adapaer makes it possible to convert the signal flow from existing HU8hes A-4M production test equipment to an AV-3B multiplexed com- munication format. In other words, any A- 4M airborne computer or test equipment that is used to communicate with an A-4M DMTcan now operate with an AV-3B DMT._ In addition to the significant cost savings realized by the development of the bus adapter, equally impressive is how quickly the concept was made a reality. In January 1982, NWC received the go- ahead t8 develop the bill adapter. The first breadboard bus adapter was ready for testing by April, and by June the fU'Sl unit was ready for delivery to Hughes Aircraft Company. By the end of the year, NWC will hav, provided a toIal of seven bus adapters for testing ofthe AV-3B DMT. The breadboard prototype was fabricated by NWC; the seven units that are to be delivered to Hughes Aircraft will be . fabricated · by the Ridgecrest facijity of SIMUTECH. ; , China Lake Museum,Rocketeer Newspaper,Rocketeer 1980s,Rocketeer 1982,Rktr10.1.1982.pdf,Rktr10.1.1982.pdf Page 1, Rktr10.1.1982.pdf Page 1
