Editors Corner The young do not know enough to be prudent and therefore they attempt the impossible -- and achieve it, generation after generation.”

-- Pearl S. Buck, American writer You may have seen the ‘esurance’ commercial with an older lady (Beatrice) sitting with her friends. It is named a ‘Top 25 Most Creative” Commercial. Beatrice has posted pictures of her friends on the walls in her house. She proudly remarks how she is saving money by posting these pictures on her wall, rather than mailing them. When she says how much she also saved when she switched to a new insurance carrier called ‘esurance’, and a friend contradicts her, she ‘unfriends’ her friend, taking the picture off the wall. Her friend responds, “That’s not how this works. It’s not how any of this works.” You can see this commercial onYouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TviuVnUXwjA. I hope I am savvier Internet user than Beatrice. I spent a few decades working for communications giants who have had a hand in the Internet, from AT&T to Motorola to Intel Corporation.Yet, I continue to be astounded by the new and exciting apps that are changing the way we experience things.

Just last month, I helped my daughter look for a new ‘gently used’ car. What was surprising to me in Alyssa’s car purchase process was how different the experience was from what I have experienced in years past.While we are familiar with such well-established sites as autotrader. com and kbb.com, Alyssa and I learned about a newer site, called cargurus.com.What is really cool about this site is that it tells you if the used car is a good value, how long the dealer has had it, and if there have been recent price drops.With most of the dealerships we went to, we brought in the online price, and asked what discount they would offer off this price. 9 times out of 10, there was no negotiating. The price was the price, particularly if on cargurus.com, it was listed as a very good price already. Wow, car buying isn’t what it used to be.

While at a condominium that we rented recently through AirBNB, we met a retired couple that traveled throughout the year using their timeshare membership. I asked how this worked for them, and they said you had to invest more money to achieve Gold or Platinum status, and then negotiating the times you wanted to travel and where you wanted to travel was a little less of a hassle. But, they noted, it still was often trialing. For those of us who don’t have timeshares, AirBNB is one hassle free answer.You can book your travel online, after seeing reviews of the property, pricing, pictures, and you can even take advantage of last minute discounts that allow you to travel very soon. Then, you even have a good idea of what the weather will be like!

Then there is Uber and Lyft, two competing companies whose mission is toconnect riders to drivers through their apps. Both companies compete with traditional cab companies.

What these new companies, these new apps have in common is the age of the founders.

Generally, these are not smart middle age professionals. 6 years ago, 3 young men, all under 30 years old, founded AirBNB. In March, Forbes announced that the Airbnb cofounders were to become the first ‘sharing economy’ billionaires CarGurus young CEO Langley Steinert founded the company in 2006, and years before was a co-founder of TripAdvisor. Uber founder Travis Kalanick founded his company at the age of 33.

Let’s appreciate our youth and the genius that comes with them. We hope to see many of you at IMTS, and as always, God Bless our Troops!

Cornel says, “We have been asked over the years by some builders to represent their lines. We view our service business as a specialized repair business, and we didn’t want to represent a commodity style line of machine tools.” He continued, “When Miyano approached us to take on their line in Arizona and Southern California, we were delighted to accept.”

The Miyano philosophy is explained by Keiichi Nakajima, president of Citizen Machinery Miyano. He says, “In the manufacturing field of the 21st century, there are two extreme trends; one is ‘mass production and mass sales’ caused by commoditization and standardization. Another is ‘production of many models in small quantities and/or production of various kinds and various volumes’, caused by diversification and individualization of customers’ needs.Thus manufacturing that pursues efficiency for ‘volume’ and diversity for ‘individualism’is required.We consider that ‘innovative manufacturing’ which achieves and fuses both of these directly opposed ‘mass’ and ‘individualized’ productions as a new value of manufacturing in the 21st century, and it expresses the value as ‘Ko No Ryosan’. To provide new added value and contribute to society through realizing ‘Ko No Ryosan’ is our business vision ...”

This is the vision of Miyano.To learn more about how CNC PROS can help your business, contact them at 1-844-MIYANOS or visit www. cnc-pros.com

Commercially available implementations act as a universal CAM translator, similar in some ways to what MTConnect does for data transfer. This allows end users to leverage multiple tooling suppliers using a variety of CAM packages that provide optimized cutting paths resulting in reduced cycle times and increased tool life by taking advantage of the latest in tooling technology.

Any CNC program can be optimized by modernizing its tooling, but the optimizer must meet all the design and manufacturing requirements. G-code alone does not have this information, so in 2012 the Organization for Machine Automation and Control (OMAC) issued a call to develop standardized CAM files. In response, new ISO standard interfaces have been added to CATIA, NX and Mastercam, and in May of 2013 Sandvik Coromant and Iscar started cloud services to optimize programs using the new files.

Research from the OMAC led team has shown that optimizing machining processes using the STEP-NC ISO standard can achieve Announcements Continued Page 12

Doosan Introduces All-New FM 200/5AX Linear at IMTS 2014 — aTrue 5-axis Machining Center Utilizing state-of-the art linear motor and direct drive technology, Doosan introduces the FM 200/5AX Linear full 5-axis machining center. Developed for simultaneous 5-axis contouring, the FM 200/5AX Linear offers manufacturers the ultimate platform for

machining a wide range of complex parts, including medical devices, automotive turbo chargers and other precision parts.

The Optimal Platform - Doosan’s FM200/5AX Linear machining center is built upon a rigid bridge-type base, composed of a highly stable mineral composite material. Because mineral castings absorb vibration at ten times the rate of iron castings and are much more thermally stable, finished parts are delivered with superior surface finishes, while tool life is increased dramatically.

The X, Y and Z axes on the FM200/5AX Linear are driven by highprecision linear motors, providing industry leading accel/decel feed rates with little to no backlash.The 4th and 5th axes rotary tables are equipped with direct drive motors to deliver matching levels of performance. The platten size is 7.9” in diameter with a capacity load of 33.1 lbs. Travels on the FM 200/5AX Linear are X-axis, 7.9”, Y-axis, 13.4” and Z-axis, 11.8.” Rapid traverse rates on all axes are 1968.5 ipm, with a cutting federate of 787 ipm.

Super-high Speed Spindle - Spindle speeds of 45,000 RPM are achieved with the FM200/5AX Linear’s best-in-class 19 HP spindle featuring an HSK E40 taper. The result, vibration has been minimized and stability has been maximized. With 24-tool stations as standard, productivity is further increase with the reliability of a direct drive, servo-driven Automatic Tool Changer.

GOT CIMATRON? More than 40 AMBA member companies are using Cimatron CAD/CAM software to increase productivity and shorten delivery times.

Learn more at www.bettermoldmaking.com or call 248-596-9700 ext. 237 today.

See What AMBA Members That Use Cimatron Say: “Our efficiency has been increasing incredibly. I know it has impacted our bottom line. We can take on more business, because we are not spending as much time in design. The flow from design to manufacturing is much smoother, shortening our delivery dates, making us more efficient and improving quality.”

Kent Smith, President, Diamond Tool & Engineering “Cimatron has really helped us stay ahead of the curve when it comes to creating more sophisticated molds, such as those required for products with blended curves. Without Cimatron in place, designing and producing such goods would be nearly impossible.”

Thomas LaMarca, Jr., Owner, L&Z Tool and Engineering “We believe one of the things that sets LS Mold apart from other shops is our Cimatron CAD/CAM capabilities. Cimatron really listened to our needs and it shows in how they implement our requirements in the software. The modeling package is first rate. It particularly shines in electrode creation. Customer support from Cimatron is outstanding.”

The robots could help Boeing save money and build the aircraft to more effectively compete against Airbus, which is what is driving the innovation.

“This is the first time such technology will be used by Boeing to manufacture wide body commercial airplanes and the 777 program is leading the way,” said Elizabeth Lund, vice president and general manager of the 777 program, in an announcement.

Boeing will start using the technology on the current 777 line, in preparation for assembling the re-engined 777X, which starts in 2017.

In the longer run, robotization will help Boeing compete against future aircraft that could be built by the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China, or Comac.

This is because, as the Chinese also turn to robotization, the country’s historic labor cost advantages are to some degree being neutralized.

Gov. Jay Inslee referred to this in response to a question during a press conference.

“Obviously it causes some immediate concerns about employment,” he said about the move to robotics. “But if also they can sell more airplanes by making them more efficiently and keeping costs down, it means more employment over the long terms throughout the supply chain in Washington.”

Inslee added that Boeing has said it won’t directly reduce employment as a result of the robots.

www.cimatrontech.com

Robots on the line: Boeing’s 777 will use more robots than ever Boeing is turning to robots to assemble 777 fuselages to drill about 60,000 1/16/13 holes 10:45 per AM fuselage and install the necessary fasteners.

The step, which Boeing has been suggesting for some time, is designed to increase the efficiency and quality of building aircraft. It also reduces the number of people needed to build the planes, which could be very good for Boeing’s bottom line and potentially bad

Boeing’s machinists are watching closely, though the move to robot assembly isn’t prohibited in the contract.

“It does give cause for concern.” said Machinists spokeswoman Connie Kelliher.

“Our concern is to make sure our members do as much work as possible on the 777 aircraft.”

Boeing has been developing the new approach for over a year at a facility in Anacortes. The process is to be based on use of robots from KUKA Systems, a leading German builder of robotic systems that are often used for assembling automobiles.

Army And Marines Developing Driverless Car Systems The Army Times reports the Army and Marine Corps are developing driverless vehicle technology that they can roll out by 2025 as part of the Autonomous Mobility Appliqué System (AMAS). The AMAS system uses radar and lidar to read the road surface, lanes, and curves of the road, as well as detecting obstacles. A “drive-by-wire” kit interacts with the controls of the car and the sensors that cause the car to react when it nears an obstacle. A June demonstration showed that vehicles were able to dodge obstacles and move in a convoy at about 40 mph.

Apple Suppliers Reportedly Start Production Of New iPads Bloomberg News reports that Apple suppliers “have started manufacturing new iPads, according to people with knowledge of the matter.” Bloomberg says that according to two individuals, “mass production” of the 9.7-inch screen iPad “is already under way, with an unveiling projected for the end of this quarter or early next,” while a new version of the iPad Mini is “also entering production and will probably be available by the end of the year.”

Solar Panels In Space Could Collect Clean Power For Earth Business Insider reports that “some scientists think humans could be getting clean power collected from solar panels in space and beamed back down to Earth in our lifetime, and some industry startups like California-based Solaren are predicting it will be a reality by the end of the decade.”

Not only would the “energy source be continuous, but it would also be clean and unlimited.” The Office of Naval Research has funded research “to improve the technology that would convert the solar energy collected in space into a different form of energy that could be transferred to A2Z METALWORKER SW

This leads him to predict that there will be an increasing number of manufacturing plants in the US in the future.

Bell Helicopter, BoeingSikorsky To Move Forward In JMR-TD Program Flight Global reported that both Bell Helicopter, with its V-280 Valor tiltrotor, and Boeing-Sikorsky, with its compound coaxial rotor called the SB-1, will build “flying prototypes” for the Joint Multi-Role – Technology Demonstrator (JMR-TD) program; both aircraft are expected to fly in fiscal 2017 for three years.

Moving forward, Bell and Boeing-Sikorsky will each receive “tens of millions of dollars” from the Army for the continued development of their aircraft, while AVX and Karem must find other ways to further finance their respective concepts. In addition, Flight Global noted that both selected competitors have also pledged to “at least match” the government’s investment with “internal funding.”

Meanwhile, Flight Global also mentioned the Army’s future vertical lift (FVL) program.

Economy Adds 209,000 Jobs In July McClatchy reports the US economy added 209,000 jobs, according to a government report issued last month, “cementing the view of a firming US economic recovery.” The streak of six consecutive monthly jobs gains of 200,000 is a first since 1997. With the new jobs numbers, unemployment rose to 6.2 percent as more people are returning to the labor force looking for work.

However, data on hourly wages show an increase of only 2 percent, which shows virtually no gain in purchasing power for wage earners and explains why many Americans aren’t feeling the full benefits of the recovery. The manufacturing sector added 28,000 jobs in July. “This suggests that the pickup in demand and output seen in other indicators have led to increased hiring, which is definitely encouraging,” said Chad Moutray, chief economist for the NAM.

But there’s still a long way to go before such “neural networking” gains widespread acceptance. For example, the Journal pointed out that programmers will likely have to relearn how to develop software to take advantage of the technology.

Furthermore, the Times quoted Yann LeCun, director of artificial intelligence research at Facebook, writing in an email that he is unconvinced that True North is a major breakthrough, and that it’s unclear if this particular chip design will win out in the longer run.

New Hope Machine Wants to Help Grow Manufacturing In the United States; Their Machines of Choice? Haas...Proudly Made In America Bob Sites is a true card carrying Journeyman machinist. Trained back east by his employer AMP Inc. (Accelerated Memory Production) in Harrisburg, PA, Bob spent the next few decades with such companies as Lear Jet, Lockheed Martin, Vanguard Manufacturing and ATS (Automated Tooling Systems). His employment took him to different areas in the United States, living in Pennsylvania, California, and Arizona, and even took him across North America, living in both Mexico and Canada.

After numerous moves, Bob found himself out of a job just after 9/11.

Bob says, “I was 50, I had a lathe and a mill in my garage, and I had hope.”

He continued, “New Hope Machine seemed like an appropriate name for my new venture.”

Bob is a religious man, and he believes that God continues to bless him.

He feels that this has helped him survive the early years of business ownership, which by his own admission, were wrought with stress.

“I often worked with very little sleep, and I recall showering while washing parts off!”

Bob’s employment career with such great companies helped his new business right from the start. Bob was known in the industry, and many new customers sought after his journeyman skills. Hope and faith, plus talent, were key ingredients of New Hope Machine. Despite the stress, business grew year over year. Bob added machines and employees to the expanded garage he used to house New Hope Machine. When asked if his neighbors minded him running a machine shop in their neighborhood, Bob said that he didn’t get any complaints because half of the neighborhood worked for New Hope Machine! Still, when Bob added a waterjet to his list of machine tools and the New Hope team had grown to a dozen, he knew he had run out of power and space in his garage, and had to move New Hope Machine to a real business facility. Imagine the parking situation at New Hope Machine when it was located in Bob’s garage.

The move to New Hope’s current facility, a 5000 square foot building in Tucson, Arizona, took place in 2010.

Today the company has about a dozen customers, largely in the medical

A2Z METALWORKER SW

and aerospace industries. While most of their customers are located in Arizona, New Hope Machine also ships products to Canada and California.

In 2012 New Hope Machine certified to ISO9001: 2008. While customers recognize the capabilities of a team with journeymen caliber machinists, Bob says the certification was key to facilitating New Hope Machine’s participation in machining parts for David’s Sling, also sometimes called Magic Wand; it is an Israel Defense Forces military system being jointly developed by the Israeli defense contractor Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and the American defense contractor Raytheon, designed to intercept medium-to long-range rockets and cruise missiles. It also helped them to win parts for Raytheon’s AGM154 Joint Standoff Weapon (JSOW). JSOW is a family of low-cost, airto-ground weapons that employ an integrated GPS-inertial navigation system and thermal imaging infrared seeker.

Bob typically works second shift. When asked why, as the owner, he chooses to work in the evenings, Bob says, “There are two reasons.

One is that I don’t have a wife, and I want to give as many of my guys

the chance to spend the evening at home with their families. The other reason is that I use the mornings to spend with the Lord. I thank him for helping my customers to succeed, and for helping New Hope Machine to continue to be successful.”

machine tools we need at a given time, and he works very hard to get us the incentives and promotional savings that Haas offers.” Bob says that Angela also loves Jason’s southern accent.

Bob is passionate about manufacturing in the United States. He says, “I also want to help our struggling economy in Tucson, Arizona. New Hope Machine gives all of our employees the opportunity to work hard and to provide for their families”, Bob says. Today, the company numbers 17 people.

New Hope’s latest Haas machine tool purchase is the Haas VF-6SS, a Super-Speed Vertical Machining Center. Scheduled to arrive in the next month, it has a 64” x 32” x 30” (1626 x 813 x 762 mm) table, 40 taper, and 30 horsepower. Bob will use it to offload the company’s aluminum machining, which is now being done on their Haas VF-7, better utilized for their machining stainless parts.

Since Bob and the team at New Hope Machine believe in keeping manufacturing in the United States, it is not surprising that New Hope Machine buys Haas machines. Bob says, “Gene Haas is an inspiration to American manufacturing. When other machine tool builders were moving overseas, and while manufacturers across all industries moved overseas, Gene Haas has demonstrated that you can successfully manufacture here in this country, and you can do it profitably.”

Jason says the Haas VF-7 is a rugged, large-sized VMC that yields full reliability and accuracy in a large-framed machine. The VF-7 has a 40-taper cartridge spindle driven by a 30 hp vector Dual-Drive (Y-Delta) drive. The VF-7 produces either 75 ft-lb of torque at a low 1400 rpm, or 250 ft-lb at 450 rpm with the optional 2-speed gearbox -- and will also run up to 8,100 rpm in 1.2 seconds for finishing aluminum.

He continued, “Not only is Haas manufacturing machines here in the United States successfully, they continuously improve their products.

When I buy a new Haas machine tool and compare it to ones that I purchased years ago, and even ones from a year ago, it is really encouraging that each year the company continues to evolve and improve. Gene Haas epitomizes innovation. This is what manufacturing is all about.”

Bob buys the Haas machine tools because they are a superior value, dependable line of tools.

He says, “They are American made, they are easy to run, my guys love them, they are user friendly, and easy to set up.”

“And”, he continued, “The most important factor for me is the service.

Haas Factory Outlet and the team at Ellison Machinery Company in Phoenix are just outstanding in their service. Our machines have to be up and running, and Ellison Machinery Company makes sure they are.”

Jason McCurdy is New Hope Machine’s sales engineer from Ellison Machinery Company. Bob and his office manager, Angela Puffer, both agree that Jason does an outstanding job of supporting them. Angela says, “Jason is just awesome. He steers us in the right direction for the

He continued, “With a long list of standard features and highproductivity options, the Haas VF-7 is one of the best values available today.”

What’s next for New Hope Machine? Bob says a move to a new larger facility is in their plans. “We have to be creative to continue to grow. Our dream at New Hope Machine is to help grow the industrial base in Tucson, an area that has long been depressed.We want to have an impact that is faith based and economic based. People need to know that God has a hand in and cares about America, and he wants to help us to bring America back to the powerhouse that it has long been known for.” Bob wants to help make this dream a reality.

The servicing craft will have to cut through the dummy satellite’s thermal blanket, remove a fuel cap that was designed never to be removed, and pipe fake satellite fuel through lines pressurized to roughly 17 kilograms per square centimeter — about the same pressure the servicing robot would encounter refueling an operational satellite.

Unlike February’s Remote Robotic Oxidizer Transfer experiment, in which Goddard operators remotely commanded a robot at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida to pump corrosive, explosive oxidizer into a pressurized fuel tank, the Restore demo on the slate for April will not involve toxic fluids. However, it will use a space-capable robot designed to function in microgravity, and not the heavy, industrial robotic arm used in the remote control experiment this year.

The Satellite Servicing Capabilities Office is trying to figure out how to prolong the life of operational satellites that have working instruments but empty fuel tanks. It is an old idea that has yet to catch on either in the public or private sector, but it has the full support of Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.), chairwoman of the Senate Appropriations Committee and Goddard’s guardian angel.

NASA Ready To Put Robotic Refueling to the Test The NASA Goddard Space Flight Center team that engineered five successful in-space servicing missions to the flagship Hubble Space Telescope is preparing for a ground-based satellite refueling demonstration next April that will include nearly every constraint the team would face if it tried to robotically service an operational satellite.

The demo, part of a project known as Restore, will be a “full-up, bring-it-all-together” test staged in a converted clean room at Goddard’s Building 29, according to Benjamin Reed, deputy project manager for the 40-person Satellite Servicing Capabilities Office at the Greenbelt, Maryland-based NASA field center. The team, led by veteran robotics wizard Frank Cepollina, was formed after the final Hubble servicing mission in 2009 in order to preserve the expertise and capabilities Goddard developed during nearly two decades of supporting astronaut repair calls to the orbiting telescope.

In the Restore demo scheduled for April, the Satellite Servicing Capabilities Office will take over the same room that once housed the Global Precipitation Measurement satellite, the largest spacecraft ever assembled at Goddard. Reed and his team will stack a dummy satellite above a space-capable robotic satellite servicing craft and, using time-delayed remote control to simulate communications lag from orbit, attempt an end-to-end refueling mission.

Mikulski steered $100 million to the office for 2014, which was reduced to $74 million in NASA’s operating plan, agency spokeswoman Adrienne Alessandro said in a July 17 email.

This year, the senior senator from Maryland prescribed $130 million for the office as part of a 2015 spending bill that stalled after clearing the Senate Appropriations Committee in June.

ARDEC Engineers Using 3-D Pr inting To Revolutionize Shaped Charge Explosives The AP reports that researchers at the US Army Armament Research, Development, and Engineering Center believe that 3-D printing “will present security experts and policy makers with capabilities previously unimaginable.” The AP quotes James Zunino, materials engineer with the center, saying, “Once you get into detonation physics, you open up a whole new universe.”

The piece reports that Zunino’s work “involves figuring out how different layers of explosive material can be packaged in new shapes to get a very specific result.”

The New Grinding Edge

SMART III technology is now available in a multi-functional

2- and 3-axes CNC surface grinder. The SMART’s PC-based control, combined with a user-friendly conversational TaskLink function, makes it easy to learn and operate.

Micro-Tronics Announces Expanded Machining Capabilities With Its Latest Mazak Machine Tools If You Have Parts that Require EDM and Conventional Machining, Micro-Tronics Can Do It All In-House the founder John Marusiak. After the loss of CEO Bob Marusiak in 2012, Mark was appointed President and successfully headed the transition of the company’s shareholders. The company remains family owned and operated and plans are underway to expand the 3rd generation employee base in the near future.

Another successful transition that Mark implemented upon his new role was to align the business along Divisional P&L Centers. The divisions include EDM, Rubber Molding and Assembly, and Conventional/CNC Machining. Each division has a Director to oversee and run each respective division.

Mark Travis, President Micro-Tronics is well known and respected in the manufacturing industry, and is particularly renowned west of the Mississippi River.The 46-year strong family owned business, now managed by the 2nd generation, is the largest EDM and rubber molding facility in the Southwest.

It has long been certified to ISO9001: 2008, AS9100; and is Nadcap accredited for EDM processes (sinker, fast hole, and wire). Last year, MTI manufactured and shipped parts to over 225 customers, worldwide.The company supports its customers with an experienced team of approximately 135 employees (25% have worked at MTI for over 20 years), across their campus of 6 buildings totaling about 100,000 square feet.

The MTI customer list is impressive, including aerospace, commercial, and defense giants: Lockheed Martin, Honeywell, Raytheon, Sargent Aerospace, ATK, Barnes Aerospace, Aerojet, BE Aerospace, General Dynamics, Intel, Arizona State University, SubZero, and Wolf.

Granted, everyone knows Micro-Tronics is a great EDM and Rubber Molding entity however they additionally offer complete turnkey assemblies, as well as in-house machining capabilities. From waterjet to laser cutting, laser marking to multi-axis lathe and milling capabilities, Micro-Tronics’ customers can get parts that require EDM and CNC Machining done completely in-house.

Mark Travis, President of the company, is son-in-law to the founders John and Angie Marusiak. Mark started his career in Aerospace at Bell Helicopter; his last position being Senior Flight Test Engineer; he had been with Bell 11 years. In 1990 Mark was invited to work for MTI by A2Z METALWORKER SW

Carey Sanders, a 30+ year tenured employee at Micro-Tronics and Director for the Conventional Machining Division, has been aggressively expanding the company’s machining capabilities. Carey says, “More and more of our customers have been asking about our 5 axis machining capabilities. In the past we could machine parts that were optimally machined via 5 axis (3+2 / 4+1) by tooling up and then machining the parts via 3 axis.

He continued, “This worked, but set-ups were costly and the opportunity for error increased with each additional set-up.”

So after an extensive review, MTI purchased its first full 5 axis machine; the Mazak VCU 500A 5X. However, they did not stop there, nor do they plan to slow down in expanding their machining capability.

Alcoa Continues Aerospace Push With $1.1 Billion Pratt & Whitney Deal Alcoa recently signed a 10-year agreement worth $1.1 billion to supply jet engine components to jet engine manufacturer Pratt & Whitney, a division of United Technologies Corporation. As per the terms of the agreement, Alcoa will supply several key engine components, including the forging for the first ever aluminum fan blade for jet engines.

The deal is the latest in a series of developments for Alcoa in the aerospace sector. Aerospace remains at the center of Alcoa’s shift towards value-added products, as it looks to reduce its dependence on its commodity businesses.

Alcoa’s Aerospace Push According to the terms of the deal, Alcoa will supply components for Pratt & Whitney’s PurePower PW1000G, V2500, GP7000 and several other regional jet and military engines. The PurePower engines will be used in some of the world’s highest volume aircraft, including the next-generation Airbus A320 neo.The transaction includes UTC’s ‘One Company’ terms and conditions, which provide a common contracting approach between UTC and Alcoa divisions and thus facilitate future collaboration.

Alcoa is betting big on its aerospace customers to drive sales of its value-added products. The company maintained its outlook of 8-9% global sales growth in 2014 for the aerospace segment, during its second A2Z METALWORKER SW

quarter earnings conference call.The large commercial jet segment is expected to grow at 12.1%, driven by a strong commercial jet order book, which represents nine years of production. The strong order book is also reflected on the jet engines side with 23,000 engines on firm order. Demand for regional jets is expected to grow at 13.2%.

For Alcoa, this represents sustained demand for its aerospace products for the medium term. Hence, it has increased its exposure to the aerospace segment.

In 2014 alone, several major developments in the aerospace segment have taken place for Alcoa. In June, the company announced the $2.85 billion acquisition of jet engine components maker Firth Rixson.

Prior to that, it had announced a $25 million expansion of the Alcoa Power and Propulsion facility in Hampton,Virginia.The company had also announced the setting up of a $100 million facility in La Porte, Indiana for the production of nickel-based superalloy jet engine parts.

It also signed a long-term agreement worth $290 million to supply aluminum sheet to Spirit AeroSystems over five years. Spirit is one of the largest designers and manufacturers of aerostructures for commercial, military, business and regional jets in the world.

Alcoa’s aerospace revenue of $4 billion in 2013 accounted for around 17% of its total revenue for the year.With several recent developments in the aerospace segment, its share of the company’s revenue is set to grow.

Shift toValue-added Products Alcoa’s aerospace push is central to its shift towards its value-added products, as it looks to reduce its dependence on its commodity

businesses. The sale of aluminum and alumina constitutes Alcoa’s upstream commodity businesses. Demand for these commodities is broadly correlated with economic growth.

These commodities suffered a steep decline in prices as the European debt crisis and slowing Chinese growth contributed to the decline in aluminum demand over the last few years.

On the supply side, production capacity, particularly in China has not been reduced corresponding to the fall in demand. This resulted in an oversupply situation, which kept prices subdued. High London Metal Exchange aluminum inventory levels relative to demand also kept a lid on prices. This inventory has been built up partially as a result of aluminum being tied up in financing deals, which were made possible due to low interest rates.

In view of uncertainty regarding aluminum prices, the company has shifted its focus towards valueadded products, which command greater pricing premiums and higher margins as compared to the upstream businesses. Alcoa’s shift towards value-added products is reflected in its revenue figures.

The percentage contribution of the Global Rolled Products and the Engineered Products and Solutions segments, which represent Alcoa’s value-added businesses, to the company’s total revenues has steadily increased.

This figure stood at 52.1%, 54.4%, 55.7% and 58% at the end of 2011, 2012, 2013 and first half of 2014, respectively. In calculating these figures, we have only considered thirdparty sales. The company’s valueadded products accounted for 72% of its total segment after-tax operating income in the first half of 2014.

Thus, Alcoa’s business strategy seems to be quite clear- a shift towards value-added products, driven by the aerospace segment.

“The multi-year contract award increases the affordability of the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye, achieving the best price with taxpayer dollars,” said Capt. John Lemmon, Naval Air Systems E-2 program manager.

The contract covers production lots two through six of full-rate production (FRP) for the E-2D aircraft.

The contract runs from fiscal year 2014 through fiscal year 2018.

The first E-2D squadron has been fully equipped and manned and the Navy is set to declare the Advanced Hawkeye operational this October at the beginning of the new fiscal year.

The Navy describes the E-2D as a “digital quarterback” that will form the central node of the Naval Integrated Fire Control – Counter Air construct.

General Dynamics (GD) C4 Systems’ AN/PRC-155 two-channel Manpack radios have demonstrated their ability to successfully close a communications gap between two talk groups located 2,000m apart.

The PRC-155 radio seamlessly bridged the SRW communications on one channel to the MUOS frequency that was required to connect with the on-orbit MUOS satellites.

The successful PRC-155 radio-channels transmission bridged the lineof-sight rifleman radio and single-channel ground and airborne radio system (SINCGARS) to the orbiting mobile-user objective system (MUOS) satellites.

The resulting voice and data communications hopped from the manpack radio on the ground in Taunton, UK, to the satellite and back to the ground in Phoenix, Arizona, US, before connecting to a second PRC-155 radio.

General Dynamics C4 System president Chris Marzilli said: “With the success of this demonstration, General Dynamics successfully demonstrated the promise of the MUOS satellite communications system using PRC-155 manpack radios.

“General Dynamics successfully demonstrated the promise of the MUOS satellite communications system using PRC-155 manpack radios.”

“The demonstration also successfully showed how dismounted soldiers, separated by thousands of miles, can use the PRC-154A Rifleman handheld radios and connect through PRC-155 manpack radios at the platoon level and below.

“The soldiers can talk to another and share data with the ease of civilians who enjoy using their cell phones to call friends and family anywhere in the world.”

The second radio then bridged the MUOS communications on one channel to the SINCGARS frequency. This formed a connection with the second dismounted talk group using SINGCARS radios, creating a real-time satellite communications ‘radio check’ voice conversation that was loud and clear among the radio operators at both locations.

In December 2013, the PRC-155 became the first radio to successfully complete secure voice and data calls from Alaska and the Arctic Circle using the MUOS waveform to connect with the MUOS satellite and ground communications network.

Boeing already provides one robotic space plane to the U.S. military; the company builds a vehicle called the X-37B for the Air Force. One X-37B spacecraft has been circling Earth on a secret military mission since December 2012.

Boeing representatives said that the company’s preliminary XS-1 contract is worth $4 million.

We specialize in sheet metal and cast valves, heat shields, flow sensors, brackets and other precision hardware.

DARPA hopes the XS-1 program, which was first announced last September, can help make spaceflight much more affordable and routine. Officials want the unmanned vehicle to launch 3,000- to 5,000-lb. (1,361 to 2,268 kilograms) payloads to orbit for less than $5 million per flight, and to be able to blast off at least 10 times in a 10-day span.

The vehicle will likely employ a reusable first stage and one or more expendable upper stages, DARPA officials said. The first stage will fly to suborbital space at hypersonic speeds, and then return to Earth to be used again; the upper stage will separate and deploy the payload into low-Earth orbit.

Experimental Space Plane Designs Wanted by US Military The U.S. military is moving ahead in its plan to develop a robotic space plane capable of launching payloads to orbit cheaply and efficiently.

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has awarded initial design contracts for its Experimental Spaceplane project, known as XS-1, to three different companies: Boeing, Masten Space Systems and Northrop Grumman, DARPA officials announced recently.

“We chose performers who could prudently integrate existing and upand-coming technologies and operations, while making XS-1 as reliable, easy-to-use and cost-effective as possible,” DARPA program manager Jess Sponable said in a statement. “We’re eager to see how their initial designs envision making spaceflight commonplace — with all the potential military, civilian and commercial benefits that capability would provide.”

During Phase 1, each of the awardees will develop a demonstration vehicle and come up with a plan to build and flight-test XS-1 spacecraft systems, DARPA officials said.The agency is expected to hold a Phase 2 competition next year, to assess the Phase 1 work and see who makes it to the flight-test stage.

DARPA only has enough money for one contractor in the end, but officials are holding out some hope that more than one vehicle could perform flight tests.

“I would love for somebody from NASA or the Air Force out there to step forward and say, ‘Hey, there’s obviously more than one of these things that we want to go flight-test; let’s fly more than one,” Sponable said in February during a presentation with NASA’s Future In-Space Operations (FISO) working group.

Current plans call for flight tests to begin in 2017 and the first orbital mission to take place in 2018, Sponable said during the FISO talk.

Near-unscratchable RM Garrison ad.indd 1 screens that are expected to be one of the biggest selling points of the iPhone 6 when Apple unveils the latest model in September are to go into large-scale production this month.

Apple is said to be preparing two new iPhone models, both of which will have larger screens than their predecessors. The biggest will measure 5.5 inches corner to corner, while the smaller iPhone will have a 4.7inch screen, according to reports.

To create industrial quantities of man-made sapphire, the material already used to cover the fingerprint-sensing home button and camera lens on its phones, Apple has a $578m deal with manufacturer GT Advanced Technologies, which has built a plant powered by renewable energy in Mesa, Arizona.

The iPhone 6 will make its first public appearance on 9 September, when Apple has scheduled a big media event. “You should be good without a screen protector on your next iPhone,” predicted technology blogger Marques Brownlee, who has subjected what he claimed was a leaked prototype of the new screen to his own durability tests on video: stabbing it with a hunting knife and trying to snap it while standing on it.

Until now Apple has relied on toughened glass, which can however easily be shattered and marked. But screens already demonstrated by GT can withstand scratches from concrete. Its thin sapphire layers, which could also find their way onto Apple’s rumoured smart watch, are flexible, potentially improving resistance to knocks and falls. In March 2012, Apple patented a concept for laminating thin layers of sapphire to each

The Wall Street Journal claims Apple has ordered an initial batch of between 70m and 80m handsets, its biggest first run production ever, to be sent out from factory gates in time for Christmas and New Year.

Last year’s initial order for the iPhone 5S, which introduced Apple’s first fingerprint sensor and had a 4-inch screen like its predecessor, the iPhone 5, was for between 50m and 60m devices. But Apple is preparing for a ramp in sales from China, where its recent distribution partnership with China Mobile should boost demand.

GT chief executive Thomas Gutierrez told investors on a call this month: “The build-out of our Arizona facility, which has involved taking a 1.4 million square foot facility from a shell to a functional structure and the installation of over 1 million square feet of sapphire growth and fabrication equipment, is nearly complete and we are commencing the transition to volume production.”

GT’s new plant will reach full operational capacity in early 2015, but the company is expecting to collect a final $139m payment for its construction from Apple in October.

Singapore taps Honeywell for CH-47SD health monitoring The Singapore air force has tapped Honeywell’s health and usage monitoring system (HUMS) for its Boeing CH-47SD Chinook helicopter fleet.

“Our HUMS technology will provide [Republic of Singapore Air Force] operators with information that’s needed to keep their fleet safe and efficient,” says Mark Burgess, senior director, Defense and Space, Asia Pacific, Honeywell Aerospace.

“The operational efficiencies of this technology will increase aircraft safety and availability, while reducing maintenance man-hours and parts cost for the military branch.”

Honeywell adds that it provides HUMS for Singapore’s fleet of AH-64D Apache attack helicopters, which it says uses the same support infrastructure as the CH-47Ds. HUMS uses sensors to monitor aircraft systems, and is intended to enable preventative maintenance. Honeywell says the system allows users to fix maintenance issues before they arise.

Flightglobal’s Ascend fleets database shows that Singapore operates 16 CH-47SDs and 17 AH-64Ds.

Boeing won a $2.1 billion contract in February to build the first batch of 16 P-8A Poseidon longrange maritime spy planes for the Navy, which came on top of $300 million in funds awarded earlier for certain materials that take longer to procure, such as titanium.

The aircraft, based on Boeing’s 737-800 commercial aircraft, will replace the U.S. Navy’s P-3 spy planes, which have been in service for more than 40 years.

Albuquerque ranked one of best places for STEM graduates Albuquerque has been named one of the best places in the nation for STEM — or science, technology, engineering and mathematics — graduates.

Last month, the research fir m NerdWallet said Albuquerque ranks 13th in the nation for graduates with a STEM background.

However, the city’s top-20 ranking isn’t because salaries are high, they aren’t.

It isn’t because there are a lot of STEM jobs here, either. There aren’t.

The city ranked 13th because the city’s median gross rent is relatively low.

NerdWallet analyzed the nation’s 75 largest U.S. metropolitan areas and looked at income levels, the size of STEM industries and the cost of living.

Albuquerque has the second-lowest median gross rent of the top 20 cities, at $781 per month. Only Dayton, Ohio (which ranked 10th) had a lower rent, at $714.

In Albuquerque, the average salary for a STEM grad is $76,691.02.

Only Columbus, Ohio (which ranked 18th) had a lower average salary, at $73,344.48.

In Albuquerque, 7.1 percent of all jobs are STEM-related, which ranked 15th in the survey.

The San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara area of California is the highest ranking metro area for STEM grads, where average salaries are $111,745.95 annually and account for 17.3 percent of jobs. The area made the top of the list despite having a median gross rent of $1,560.

Apple orders as many as 80 million units for next iPhone Apple is betting its next generation of iPhone will outsell its most recent version, the iPhone 5S and 5C, and has ordered up to 80 million of them from manufacturing suppliers.

That’s well more than the 60 million units Apple ordered before launching the 5S and 5C, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal. Among the features expected on the iPhone 6 are metal cases with different color options, bigger screens (measuring either 4.7 inches or 5.5 inches diagonally), and different technology that allows the touchscreens to be thinner and lighter than previous models, the report said.

Much of this appears to be a reaction to Samsung’s trend-setting. That company found success offering larger screens on its phones, leaving Apple to produce advertisements with the weak counter that its phones fit customers’ thumb sizes. But the Journal also noted that Samsung’s sales have slowed recently, and Apple may be able to use this release to get ahead of its rivals in overseas markets, particularly China, where its new deal with China Mobile cleared the way to put iPhones in even more pockets there.

to make more batteries in one year by 2020 at the 10-million-square-foot plant than were developed across the globe in 2013.

An official announcement on the partnership should come within days, according to the Nikkei.

Panasonic — which already owns a stake in Tesla and develops batteries for its vehicles — could contribute upwards of $1 billion in the factory, with total investment climbing to $5 billion.

Under the deal, Panasonic will also equip the factory with machinery to begin churning out the battery cells for Tesla by 2017, according to the article. That’s the same year Tesla is scheduled to begin making its thirdgeneration, $35,000 Model 3 sedan.

It still is not clear which state the Gigafactory will call home — at least three sites are being considered — with Sparks, Nevada, as the most recent contender.

The goal is to produce enough batteries to equip 500,000 electric cars per year.The Palo Alto-based electric car company is expected

Technology companies, retailers and manufacturers are trusted the most, while health insurers, pharmaceutical companies, banks and energy companies are trusted the least. This matters when it comes to public policy, because Americans are more likely to want more regulation of industries they trust less.

Overall, the public gives good marks to big businesses for providing useful products and services, and serving their customers well. But they say corporations aren’t doing enough to create jobs, and they think big businesses pay their top executives too much and their rank-and-file employees too little.

Personal experience has a much bigger impact on Americans’ opinions about corporations than social media, the survey found.

Only 45 percent of Americans have a favorable opinion of the federal government, and 60 percent have a favorable view of state government.

Most Americans also think businesses should speak out on public issues, ranging from racial and gender discrimination to climate change. One exception is gay marriage — although most Americans believe same-sex couples should have the same rights as heterosexual married couples, 65 percent think corporations should stay out of the debate over gay marriage.

Americans also are uncomfortable with corporate lobbying — 50 percent said they’d feel less favorable about a company that hires lobbyists. But most support lobbying for to protect jobs, open new markets, create a level playing field., reduce business costs or even to secure government funding or grants.

They’re also OK with independent groups such as super PACs playing a role in politics, but most say they’d look unfavorably on a corporation that directly paid for ads supporting a candidate.

Sal knew Randy through Randy’s previous employers, where Randy was a journeyman quality toolmaker.

The new company’s mission was to make the highest quality tools with fast turnaround, and enable their customers to get the most out of their tools to produce high quality parts. US Carbide offers custom design of the most complex tools.

Sal has ownership in two other shops in the valley, including Aerospace Contacts and Foresight Finishing. Sal established US Carbide Tool with Randy because he couldn’t get quality microtools in the timeframe that Aerospace Contacts needed them.

While US Carbide Tool was established to support Aerospace Contacts, Randy and Sal say that from the beginning they wanted US Carbide to support outside customers who need high precision small tools that they couldn’t get from a catalog. It started in 2010 with a 2000 square foot temperature controlled facility with a few very high precision machine tools, including a 6 Axis CNC and a manual EWAG grinding machine. Sal says that the EWAG machines were optimal for his customers, who wanted very accurate/high precision small tools (from .006” to 3/8”).

Within 2 years, the company had tripled their machine tools to 6, and now 2 years later, with their new machines on order, the company will have 15 high precision machines. The company expanded into their facility, which previously housed a tenant, and now will offer 10,000 square feet of space (temperature controlled) for the growing US Carbide business.

Randy says, “Our customers were asking us to machine tools with the same accuracy and precision they were getting from us today, but also for larger tools.The Walter CNC grinder as well as Walter’s high resolution Helicheck inspection machines enables us to manufacture precise tools up to 2 inches.”

Sal and Randy are pictured to the right (bottom picture) next to their first Walter.You can also see tape placements on the floor. This is where the next two Walter machines will go in the next month, and the remaining tape placements (not shown in the picture) are intended to demonstrate space for future expansion.

Randy says, “Every machine in our shop is extremely high precision. The EWAGs are Swiss made, and they built their reputation on machining for the Swiss watch industry.” He continued, “The latest 3 machine tools we are in the process of installing are the Walter Helitronic Power machines.These are German manufactured universal tool grinding machines with 5 CNC controlled axes for production and regrinding of tools.” Sal elaborated, “We can now make very accurate tools from .006” to 2” for our customers.”

The company additionally added an Edge Technology System, manufactured in the United States by Mutschler Edge Technologies (MET), based in Cleveland, Ohio. Randy says, “Edge Prep is typically done manually and has been for a long time from the toolmaker stoning an end mill to the operator hand brushing end mills and drills on a rotating abrasive brush.” Sal added, “The MET edge prep machine is just another way in which US Carbide Tool LLC is investing in the most advanced technology to offer our customers the best precision custom tool making. We expect to be the largest company of our kind in the Southwest within the next year or two.”

Equipment Leasing and Finance Association’s Survey of Economic Activity: Monthly Leasing and Finance Index

AM_A2Z_QVert.indd 1

Industr ial Production Increases 0.4 % In J u l y, B o l s t e r e d B y Manufacturing The Hill reports that manufacturing “boosted” factory production in July.

Manufacturing output increased 1 percent last month, which advanced total production 0.4 percent for the month of July.

3/21/14 11:18 AM

The Equipment Leasing and Finance Association’s (ELFA) Monthly Leasing and Finance Index (MLFI25), which reports economic activity from 25 companies representing a cross section of the $827 billion equipment finance sector, showed their overall new business volume for June was $9 billion, up 5 percent from new business volume in June 2013. Month over month, new business volume was up 30 percent from May. Year to date, cumulative new business volume increased 3 percent compared to 2013.

Receivables over 30 days decreased from the previous month at 1.6 percent, and were up from 1.4 percent in the same period in 2013. Charge-offs were unchanged for the third consecutive month at an all-time low of 0.2 percent. Credit approvals totaled 80.1 percent in June, an increase from 76.1 percent the previous month. Total headcount for equipment finance companies was up 1.0 percent year over year. Separately, the Equipment Leasing & Finance Foundation’s Monthly Confidence Index (MCI-EFI) for July is 61.4, unchanged from the previous month.

ELFA President and CEO William G. Sutton, CAE, said: “New business volume shows steady yearA2Z METALWORKER SW

Edward Dahlka, President, Cole Taylor Equipment Finance, said, “Although May’s MLFI showed a modest decline in new business volume, most industry experts would have expected the stronger results reported in June. In reviewing the MLFI year-over-year comparison, all of the quarter results are strongest in the last month of each quarter. Two things need to happen to help our industry grow and prosper.The Fed needs to let interest rates rise and lenders need to remain firm on credit quality. The equipment finance industry has a strong marketing culture and most of us believe that if we continue to see even a modest increase in capital expenditures our industry could enjoy a stronger increase in new business volume over the last two quarters.”

“Manufacturing leaders have also been disappointed with the slow pace of growth in the first half of this year, and their upbeat sentiment about the second half remains is filled with caution,” said NAM Chief Economist Chad Moutray, adding, “For that reason, policymakers should focus on those initiatives which will keep the economy growing moving forward.”

Moutray noted that factory output is growing at the fastest year-over-year pace since June 2012.

Quality, Reliability and Service

Ten New Mexico companies win funding from Los Alamos Venture Acceleration Fund Ten New Mexico companies have been awarded funds from the Los Alamos Venture Acceleration Fund.

This year’s fund was propped up by the sale this spring of Titan Aerospace to Google. Titan was partially funded by the VAF last year, and it paid back the fund’s contribution when it was purchased

by Google earlier this year.

Los Alamos National Security, which manages Los Alamos National Laboratory, has invested approximately $3 million via the Venture Acceleration Fund in 49 companies in New Mexico, and it has grown to include several more partners. The fund, which began in 2006, helps provide seed capital for growing firms.

We are a full service job shop, providing as much or as little project involvement as required – from tool and die design to finishing and assembly.

Boeing, Sikorsky to develop JCA for Army Boeing and Sikorsky have been chosen to develop the Joint Common Architecture (JCA) standard for the U.S. Army’s Joint Multi-Role (JMR) Science andTechnology program. JMR is part of the Future Vertical Lift (FVL) initiative to develop next-generation utility and attack helicopters.

The companies were selected by the Army’s Aviation Applied Technology Directorate, said a Boeing news release. “The Army considers the JCA to be the ‘digital backbone’ through which mission systems will be seamlessly integrated into the FVL system’s design,” said Samir Mehta, president of Sikorsky Defense Systems & Services.

Boeing and Sikorsky have also teamed up to propose a next-generation helicopter, the SB1 Defiant, which uses counter-rotating coaxial main rotors, a pusher propeller and advanced fly-by-wire system. Four teams are competing to provide a development aircraft, with the Army expected to pick the winning design in 2017.

homes for the foreseeable future. But having large-scale 3-D printing revolutionize manufacturing may be soon upon us; and this prospect may well have important economic effects.

How will the rise of 3-D printing in manufacturing affect the American economy and how will we fare as consumers and workers? Productivity in manufacturing has grown more rapidly than in other sectors of the economy for many years, 117 percent since 1990 compared to 64 percent for business as a whole.

Three-dimensional printing will spur further productivity growth, especially in those industries that turn out many replications of the same part for assembly into complete products (automobiles, airplanes, electrical equipment, etc.). As has been true in the past, the increased productivity will lower the cost of production, which will be passed on to buyers in the form of lower prices. In the end, we as consumers will benefit from 3-D printing, not because we’ll have little printers at home, but because companies will have large printers that help lower the price of the goods we buy.We’ll be able to buy more for less.

Increased productivity often means reduced demand for workers, especially low-skilled workers. Three-dimensional printing will likely result in the continued relative shrinking of manufacturing Opinion: 3-D PrintingWill Be a Manufacturing employment (from about one-sixth of employment in 1990 to about Engine for the Economy one-tenth today based on my calculations of data) but these need not be job losses as the change will occur mostly through workers For a sci-fi addict like me, 3-D printing reminds me of my favorite retiring.

A GRIFFITHS COMPANY

With funds for newproduction Tomahawk cruise missiles shrinking, Raytheon is looking to cash in on the next best thing — upgrades and “recertifications” of existing missiles, an effort that could last a decade or more.

The recertification program — which could begin as early as 2018 — would coincide with major upgrades to make the weapon semi-autonomous, faster and smart enough to track moving targets.

Factory production is very much on the mind of the company these days.

Roy Donelson, Raytheon’sTomahawk program director, said the company requires production of 196 missiles per year as a minimum to keep the line going.While they got that in the presidential budget request for fiscal 2014, the number was dropped to 100 for 2015.

Congress has bumped that figure back up to 196 for fiscal ’15, but future quantities remain in question.

New Spindle Sales and Repair Service High Speed • High Torque • High Quality

The company may have something of a backup plan if missile orders are cut in the future. Donelson spent a significant part of a briefing for reporters here discussing the plan for “recertification” of the Tomahawk arsenal.

The thinking is this: The Tomahawk Block IV was introduced in 2004 with a 15-year warranty and 30-year life span. Some of that first wave of Tomahawks are still being carried around, unused, and will reach that 15-year mark at the end of this decade.

Raytheon will take them in and certify that they are still operational at a rate fairly close to the production rate. And while the weapons are in the factories, why not put a whole suite of upgrades in there?

“The value proposition is incredible, because now you can get a brand new missile in terms of capability at a fraction of the cost,” Donelson said.

What advancements make the next-generation Tomahawk? The first is an advanced communications and navigations suite, which Donelson said will be ready to start an engineering and manufacturing development (EMD) program next year with an eye on readiness by 2018. That, in conjunction with a new seeker design, would allow the weapon to track targets with greater accuracy.

Come Visit Us At IMTS Booth #N-7151

The second is a new joint multiple-effect weapons system warhead, which would give the Tomahawk more flexibility. Operators could prefer to go with a weapon that provides better penetration or one that provides an expanded blast effect. That could be ready to start EMD next year, with a target date of 2019.

At the end of this, as a Raytheon promotional video showed, the Tomahawk should be able to strike moving targets on land and at sea, regardless of jamming, with increased precision and effectiveness.

“One could argue that half the (100) employees here are due to the exports,” Hochberg said of the dairy-supply firm. He touted the bank’s role in supporting exports from that company and others in the region and said he is “hopeful” lawmakers will endorse the bank. “We need to move this out of an ideological argument into a practical argument about supporting jobs and meeting foreign competition,” he said.

Optomec of Albuquerque wins Air Force contract Optomec of Albuquerque has been awarded a $4 million contract to help repair metal components for the U.S. Air Force.

Optomec, whic h makes 3-D printers, has a unique technology that can print metal parts or add metal to existing parts.

The award is part of the new “Re-Born in the USA” project, which is an effort by the National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Institute

to advance 3-D printing, the group said in a news release last month.

Optomec will lead a team that includes GE Aviation, Lockheed Martin, Rolls-Royce and others.The goals is to use Optomec’s LENS technology, which can use metal, to repair damaged parts, similar to putting chewing gum onto a crack in the wall.

“This award is significant because it highlights that repair is indeed a leading application area in the additive manufacturing landscape.

Additionally, it helps to demonstrate that printing onto existing structures in 3-D space is a unique and enabling aspect of Optomec 3-D printing technologies,” said Dr. Richard Grylls, Optomec LENS General Manager and “Re-Born in the USA” project leader.

“We are looking forward to working with our partners to deliver a repair methodology that addresses the current challenges faced by the Air Force and provides a framework for the potential adoption of additive manufacturing repair processes throughout the aircraft industry,” he said.

KLK Inc., A Family Owned Precision Manufacturing Entity SInce 1967, Announces Its Certification to ISO9001: 2008 KLK Inc. just certified to ISO9001: 2008. The company specializes in precision sheet metal, CNC machined parts, and electro/mechanical assemblies. The company is a family-owned business, and the first family member in the business (BobWilkinson) opened a machine shop here in the valley in 1967.The shop saw explosive growth in the 1990s when it was manufacturing exercise bikes (The HealthRider®), and prior to selling this entity of the business, it was manufacturing ~12,000 bikes per week.

The family founded KLK in 1995. James Wilkinson, manufacturing manager and grandson to Bob Wilkinson, says, “We are a manufacturing family through and through. Larry DuVall, my uncle, is president of KLK, and my father, Kim, my brother Chad, and I work here. Larry’s son Lee, works at the company, and will take over when his father retires.” “Outside of KLK”, he continued, “We have 2 uncles who have their own machine shops in Arizona.” While James admits there is healthy competition across the family members’ respective shops, he says that it is advantageous that they can all help each other out.

KLK has about a dozen customers, and many are Fortune 500 companies, including US Airways (American Airlines), Frontier Air, Siemens, Honeywell, ON Semiconductor, Motorola, Intel, Novellus Systems (now Lam Research), to name a few.

James says, “We regularly receive surveys from companies, both our customers and prospective customers. One of the questions invariably asks if we are certified to ISO9001: 2008. I got tired of not being able to check this box with a ‘yes’. I knew that the fact that we weren’t certified limited the work we could get from some of our customers, and it meant we couldn’t get business from others.”

At a KLK management meeting at the end of last year, the team decided that they would make certification a priority. James says that they had met several consultants at the Westec show in California in October of 2013, and had received quotes from some of the companies. While the KLK team found some qualified companies at the show, they felt that much of their interaction with these consultants would be online/via email. James says, “We wanted a consulting group that would come to our facility and get to know how we actually worked.”

He continued, “I always read about Bretta Kelly, owner of BMSC, in the Metalworker magazine. I saw that she was preparing many shops I knew in the valley for ISO and AS9100 certification.” James invited Bretta to meet with the KLK management team, and the team unanimously selected Bretta / BMSC for their consultant. James says, “We all valued the fact that BMSC was local and would come to our facility, and we also appreciated that, unlike some of the other consultants, she wasn’t going to use a boiler plate to create our manuals.”

This proved true, James explained. Bretta and her colleague, Debbie Hart, first toured KLK, and took the time to learn the KLK processes. They were going to help KLK build a quality manual around how the business was run, not by a generic template. “Next”, James says, “They gave us a choice, did we want to complete certification in 3 months or in 6 months.”The KLK team agreed that since they had made ISO certification a priority for 2014, they would take the aggressive schedule -- completing the certification process in 3 months. “We made the decision to be ‘all in’, and we A2Z METALWORKER

didn’t want any opportunities to procrastinate”, James elaborated. While the entire KLK team was involved in the ISO certification process, both James and key employee Phil Donimari were chartered with heading it up. Phil is the official Management Representative for ISO9001: 2008. Bretta says that KLK had such good processes in place prior to the certification that they were a good candidate for the 3 month program.

KLK officially certified to ISO9001: 2008 in May of this year. James says, “We had zero‘0’ findings in our audit.” James says that he appreciates the fact that BMSC’s process includes an outside audit by a 3rd party prior to the official certification audit. “Bretta and Debbie were outstanding ISO consultants; they were so knowledgeable, they worked within our business model, and they were here throughout the process”, he said. James and the KLK team plan to certify to AS9100 through BMSC in the next year or so.

James says that the certification process has been beneficial to KLK. Not only have they won 2 new customers since announcing certification, James says that it has helped every employee to get a better understanding of how the business is run and what their individual responsibility is. He says, “It is crystal clear because we have a manual we can reference.”

From 2011 to last year, annual Chinese investment in US manufacturing was less than $400 million, but it jumped to $2 billion so far this year, said the Rhodium Group consultancy.

The number of manufacturing jobs in the US provided by Chinese companies nearly quadrupled from 20,000 in 2010 to nearly 80,000 last year.

“The overall manufacturing cost structures of Mexico and the US have significantly improved,” Boston Consulting said, adding it still ranked China as the most competitive exporter, with the US second.

The company was started by Howie and his father Namon Basuk. The name “Barry” comes from a brother and a son who died from leukemia at the age of 17 (1977).

The company Barry Metals was founded in 1988 in honor of Barry.

China looks to the US for low-end manufacturing Chinese investment in the United States manufacturing sector is speeding up as the mainland’s cost advantage has been eroded, given increasingly abundant energy resources from the shale oil boom in the US. Sharp wage increases, lagging productivity growth, unfavourable currency swings and a dramatic rise in energy costs had shrunk China’s cost edge over the US to 4 per cent, said the Boston Consulting Group.

Hsu said the shift had been partly led by US states offering incentives for foreign investors in their jurisdictions.

“While there have been some strong exchanges between the US and China at the national level, local governments have been more embracing of economic ties with China,” he said.

For example,Virginia governor announced that Shandong Tranlin Paper, a Chinese pulp and paper company, would invest $2 billion over five years to establish its first US manufacturing operation in the state.

It is the largest Chinese investment inVirginia’s history and is the largest Chinese greenfield project in the US. As labor and other business costs increase, the era of low-end manufacturing is coming to an end in China, wrote Thilo Hanemann in a Rhodium report.

“As Chinese investment in the US continues to grow... Chinese companies will someday “In the 1980s and 1990s, China welcomed foreign investment and positioned itself as a cheaper become significant employers in the US,” Hsu said. source of labor,” said James Hsu, a partner at US law firm Squire and Sanders.

“However, profit margins in contract manufacturing are slim. Chinese companies are no longer content just being contract manufacturers.Due to the narrowing gap of cost of labor between the US and China, there is a quiet trend bringing back some manufacturing to the US.We have seen US companies requiring Chinese suppliers to set up manufacturing facilities in the US to better meet their needs.”

The low cost of North American natural gas and oil from the shale boom had helped revive US manufacturing across a wide range of sectors, said Robert Dye, the chief economist of financial services firm Comerica.

Hanemann was more cautious.“The US will not see a China-driven manufacturing boom,” he said. “The gap between cost in China and America is still too dramatic for a large-scale migration of productive capacity to the US.

“However, the combination of a changing economic structure and the liberalisation of outbound investment policies [by Beijing] “You look at total business costs, the cost of labor, capital, securing a loan, energy and everything has triggered a second generation of Chinese else,” Dye said. “Texas is approaching parity with China in many different ways, which is another way manufacturing investments in the US.” Source: of saying businesses no longer have an incentive to offshore their production.

When You Need BonaFide Engineering Design Coupled With Machining

instrumental in helping Profiles Tool & Engineering to grow to where it is today. “Tim leased me space in his shop for a number of years, at a very favorable rate.Without Tim’s kindness and mentoring, I wouldn’t be where I am today. Tim really wanted me to succeed.”

Just this past January, Zach and the Profiles Tool & Engineering team made the move to their current facility, which is nearly double the space they had prior to the move. Zach says he looked long and hard for the facility; it needed air conditioning (not a swamp cooler) and it needed sufficient power to enable the company to grow with new machines as business dictated.

Many small manufacturing companies say that they support their customers with engineering and design. And while they may offer a suggestion from their years of experience in machining, when they list their approved competencies, they can’t include engineering and design.

That is not the case with Profiles Tool & Engineering. In fact, the company is in the throes of ISO: 9001/AS9100 Revision C certification, and they expect to be fully certified this fall. When they started the certification, they were urged to take out the 7.3 requirement. Clause 7.3 in the certification process refers to ‘Design and Development’. Most job shops, companies that make a variety of components for their customer, are not involved in design and development, so this arduous clause is excluded from their certification. ProfilesTool & Engineering will be certified for design and development.

Zach Wilsterman earned his degree in mechanical engineering from Arizona State University in 1996. His company, Profiles Tool & Engineering, specializes in design and engineering. It is their differentiator.

The company opened for business in 1999, just 3 years after Zach graduated from college. But with marriage and a family on the way, Zach had to work full time for other machine shops while he grew own business on evenings and weekends. He says Tim Sullivan, owner of Challenger Aerospace, was A2Z METALWORKER SW

Business is exploding today, and 90% of Profiles Tool & Engineering business comes from referrals.

The company makes parts (and complete assemblies) for a number of industries, including medical, aerospace, and communications, but Zach says a significant percentage comes from the medical device industry.

In addition to a full service machine shop, Profiles Tool & Engineering uses Solidworks and their 15+ years manufacturing and design experience to assist their customers with design projects.

Zach says, “While our primary expertise is fixturing parts for metrology and End of Arm Tooling, we have taken on several other projects ranging from pool-side air conditioners to rotary table automation projects.”

Z a c h s ay s , “ M y b a c k g ro u n d a n d experience in design means that I know how a part is made, and through my machining experience, I know how to help my customers design the product for manufacturability.” He continued, “This means that when customers work with us, they are invariably going to get their parts/ finished product made at a better cost point and with a quicker turn-around.”

The company’s latest machine tool purchase was the Haas VF-2SS. Zach says that when he was making the purchase, he evaluated

several machine tool brands.

“The Haas won because for Profiles Tool & Engineering, it was the best value. It met our requirements for ‘speeds and feeds’, and since this purchase was made prior to our move to this larger facility, footprint of the new machine was key in our purchase decision.”

Zach knew of the Haas machine tool (it is the largest CNC machine tool manufacturer in the world by volume, installed over 1,400 VF-2s in 2013 alone), but he didn’t personally have experience machining on a Haas machine tool.

After significant research coupled with input from his team (many experienced and favorable to the Haas machine tool line), the decision was made for the Haas VF-2SS. The Haas VF-2 is a CNC mill that travels 30x20x20 in the XYZ axis, while it was first introduced in the early 90’s; it is still one of the most popular models sold on the CNC market.

Zach says, “I have been very pleased with the team at Ellison Machinery Co, located in Tempe, AZ. Bryan Johnson is our Business Manager from Ellison Machinery. Both he and the team, including the service guys, are so professional and responsive.” He continued, “Bryan often has to supply us with a number of different configurations and options when he is helping us to make a decision about a new machine, and he always does this quickly. I really like working with the team at Ellison Machinery.”

Today, Zach says the company is adding a second shift to their operations,

and he can’t hire fast enough. Because finding the right talent is difficult, Zach is proactively helping the industry with interns. He has hired 2 engineering interns from ASU, and the latest (Pictured to the left) has been with him part-time during the school year and full time this summer. Zach also promotes manufacturing in Arizona, and he today is a board member of the Arizona Tooling and Machining Association (ATMA). Zach believes we are beginning to improve our internship/apprenticeship programs for machinists in Arizona, and that we have work to do in preparing our future engineers with the skills necessary to build superior parts. “These engineering students need more hands-on experience than the universities are offering”, he says.

Profiles Tool & Engineering is more than a job shop. “What makes our company exciting for the team that works here”, Zach says, “Is that all of our projects are different, and our team members all get to see how they contribute to the finished product.

What’s next for ProfilesTool & Engineering? Zach says the ISO/AS9100 completion (without the 7.3 exclusion) is the next big milestone.The company also plans to add hand finishing to their list of in-house competencies. They are in the process of retrofitting their Haas VF 2-SS with new features, including 4th axis capabilities, ‘Touch Probe’, to reduce set-up times, as well as a tool arm.

Contact him also if you will thrive in a working environment where creativity and innovation is valued. The company has openings for people just like that.

Blurred Lines: Commercial, Defense Sectors Begin To Blend As companies continue to turn their eyes toward the Middle East and Asia for new business, a trend has emerged:The lines between commercial and defense businesses are increasingly blurring.

All but one company in the top 10 of this year’s Defense News Top 100 — our annual ranking of the largest global defense firms — saw the percentage of their defense business decline or remain flat in 2013.Thales, at No. 9, was the only company in the top 10 that saw growth in the percentage of its business generated by defense.

Defense-heavy companies, such as US giant Lockheed Martin, which is once again at the top of the list, are diversifying their businesses. Lockheed is entering the commercial marketplace in areas such as air traffic management, aviation training and simulation, energy, and advanced manufacturing.

The Maryland-based company saw defense revenue fall more than $4.3 billion between 2012 and 2013, however the company’s overall revenue fell only $1.8 billion.

Those who watch the industry agree: Change is coming, and companies that don’t react appropriately could get left behind.

“As a generalization, the defense industry and the defense industrial base would be well served by an industry whose structure had more exposure to commercial markets and commercial technologies than our mostly pure-play [defense] companies that comprise the top tier of the industrial structure today have,” said Steven Grundman, a former Pentagon industrial policy chief now with the Atlantic Council.

He warns that the days of pure defense firms are endangered.

“Being a pure-play defense company works great when the defense budget is growing at 6 to 8 percent a year, but the other side of that coin is that when growth stops, you’re fully exposed to a flat market,” Grundman said. “I don’t think there is as much room in the healthy defense industrial structure for pure-play defense companies as we have today.

The clearest example of the growing link between the defense and commercial sides comes, perhaps unsurprisingly, from the largest US aerospace company.

Boeing, No. 2 on the list, has increasingly exploited its commercial division,

a keystone of its business plan, and a look at its catalog makes it clear that will continue. Boeing saw its total company revenue climb nearly $5 billion from 2012 to 2013. But its defense business has fallen from 38.4 percent of total company revenue in 2012 to 36.9 percent in 2013.

“The commercial derivatives market is a real competitive differentiator for us,” Chris Chadwick, president and chief executive officer of Boeing Defense, Space & Security, told reporters.

The company has two major Pentagon programs — the P-8 maritime patrol aircraft and KC-46A tanker — which are based on commercial versions of the Boeing 737 and 767 jetliners, respectively. “[W]e’re trying to create this track record of success in this area where we bring to bear an improved ‘One Boeing’ approach to servicing our customers’ needs worldwide,” Chadwick said.

“It’s going to be very interesting to see how market dynamics play out over the next 10 years,” Chadwick said. “I can’t predict the future, but I think market pressures will dictate that the company who can provide more capability at less cost, adapt from an innovative perspective and bring capability onto current platforms in a very seamless way at the right price, will end up on top at the end of the day.”

Commercial companies are investing “tremendous amounts of money and starting to encroach the defense world” in areas including cyber, data analytics and drones, he said.

As Lockheed looks to move more into a commercial market, it will center “around core competencies that we have today,” Hewson said.

The recent purchase of a company in the cyber infrastructure business serves as an example. “It lines right up with the cybersecurity work we are doing,” Hewson said. “It just broadens our portfolio capabilities that we can provide. It opens up new markets for us.”

Companies have also been taking a commercial approach when developing new defense products in anticipation of less government funding for these types of efforts.

For example, Textron’s Bell Helicopter has been developing V-280 Valor, a tiltrotor it has pitched for the Army’s Black Hawk replacement program.

“If you are going to take a decade to develop something, you are going to spend a lot more money to develop,” Scott Donnelly chairman, president and CEO of Textron, said in an interview. “I think we can show that we can do things and get aircraft in the air in two years. We can take it to production at a fraction of the cost.”

Textron, which saw its defense revenue fall slightly from $4.29 billion to $4.24 billion in 2013 and is No. 17 on this year’s list, is looking at projects “in a more commercial sense and not go through long” engineering and development program, he said.

“Time is money,” Donnelly said. “I cannot afford those budgets. I do not think any of our customers are going to have the budgets to go through that process anyway.”

Preparing for the Future In recent years, companies have been preparing for the decline in government defense spending, restructuring themselves though downsizing, facility consolidation and other overhead-cutting measures.

This has softened the blow of the defense spending cuts, but “there’s probably not a whole lot more they could really do to significantly boost margins from here,” said Byron Callan, an analyst with Capital Alpha Partners.

Boeing’s Chadwick said the company has cut $4 billion over the past three years with another $2 billion planned in the coming years.“It’s difficult. It’s painful, but it’s a necessity, so that we can have that agile cost structure that we have to have to compete over the next decade,” he said.

While the split between defense and commercial business seems to be trending toward the latter, it does not mean commercial business has picked up, Callan noted.

“Some of the changes to individual companies may also be thinking ahead,” Callan said. “They may be shrinking in size, but they’re shrinking to get more focused on particular markets.”

On the military side, companies have looked to offset US cuts with international business, particularly in the Middle East and Asia.

L-3 Communications, No. 11 on the list, which saw its defense business revenue decline $502 million between 2012 and 2013, is in the midst of a commercial diversification itself.

L-3 has posted double-digit growth in its commercial and international business, Michael Strianese, the New York-based company’s chairman, president and CEO, said in an interview.

Strianese touted the company’s first sale of night-vision equipment to the United Arab Emirates last year. He also applauded the Defense and State departments’ progress with export control reform and reducing bureaucracy.

Speaking about the international market, Chadwick said: “What you’re seeing is that we’ve got to move from [being] an exporter to [being] a global presence more than we have in the past. So, you’re seeing where we’re investing. We’re partnering.”

Decline in defense spending has created interesting bedfellows for the few major US defense programs on the horizon. Helicopter maker Sikorsky has teamed with Boeing for the Army’s Black Hawk helicopter replacement program and Boeing has teamed with Sweden-based Saab, No. 29 on the list, for the Air Force’s new jet trainer.

Increasing the number of military aircraft based on commercial ones could have a trickle down effect into the global maintenance and sustainment market as well, Chrisman said.

“It may not necessarily be indicative of really successful commercial diversification strategies, it’s just that defense — because of the Budget Control Act and the war-related declines — has been shrinking at a faster pace than some of these commercial businesses,” Callan said.

“You can look at commercial opportunities, you can look at vertical operations, or you can look at sustainment.The international sustainment opportunity for US companies, particularly US [original equipment manufacturers], is something they are considering and ought to be considering more.”

While many company executives speak of diversifying, some might look to shrink to become more focused in core business areas.

A plane based on commonly flown aircraft, like a 767, could make sustainment easier and cheaper, he said.

Excalibur Ib enters full rate production and receives $52 million award Raytheon Company’s Excalibur Ib precision guided projectile has entered full rate production (FRP). Additionally, the U.S. Army has awarded Raytheon $52 million for continued Excalibur Ib production.

“The full rate production decision is the culmination of superb teamwork between the U.S. Army and Raytheon,” said Lieutenant Colonel Josh Walsh, U.S. Army Excalibur product manager.

Earlier this year, the Army approved Excalibur Ib for Full Materiel Release (FMR) and awarded the projectile a Type ClassificationStandard. That means Excalibur is safe for soldiers; it has been fully tested; it meets operational performance requirements, and it can be supported within its intended operational environment.

“International interest in Excalibur has risen sharply during the last year,” said Michelle Lohmeier, Raytheon vice president.“Excalibur has revolutionized cannon artillery, making it possible to engage targets precisely at long ranges while avoiding collateral damage, a capability that appeals to military leaders around the world,” Lohmeier added.

In recent tests, all projectiles scored direct hits on their intended targets. The projectile’s reliability, lethality and range are in excess of Army requirements and at all-time highs, while the unit cost has dropped significantly during the program’s lifetime.

Raytheon is also developing Excalibur S, which incorporates a laser spot tracker in Excalibur’s guidance section. Excalibur S was tested successfully on May 7th at Yuma Proving Grounds.

With Excalibur N5, a 5 inch/127mm variant of the projectile, Raytheon is bringing this proven technology to the maritime domain. A live fire demonstration of the Excalibur N5 is planned for later this year.

About Excalibur Excalibur is a revolutionary precision guided projectile that provides warfighters a first round effects capability in any environment.

The U.S. Defense Department is accelerating plans to seek rival bids for up to two satellite launches, potentially ending the near-monopoly enjoyed by a joint venture between Boeing Co. and Lockheed Martin Corp. and prompting a face-off with Elon Musk’s Space Exploration Technologies Corp.

Last month, the U.S. Air Force opened a contest to launch one satellite in 2016, though the Pentagon hadn’t planned to challenge the incumbent United Launch Alliance LLC with rival bids until next year. ULA has been launching the Pentagon’s sensitive satellites into orbit since 2006.

The Pentagon is also seeking funding to open bidding on a second satellite deal to competition in September.

Mr. Musk’s SpaceX, frustrated by being shut out of the military market, is expected to secure regulatory approval this year or in early 2015 to launch smaller Pentagon payloads, and is developing a rocket for larger launches that would allow it to pursue all available U.S. government contracts. While the firm has pressed for its accreditation to be sped up, Pentagon officials have indicated it can submit bids before formal certification.

“Opening up more National Security space missions to competition is a step in the right direction and SpaceX welcomes this news,” said the firm in a statement.

The fierce lobbying battle between SpaceX and ULA intensified in April when the Air Force reduced to seven or eight the number of satellite launches it had planned to open to competition, from an initial 14 launches, citing planning changes and the better-than-expected durability of some existing satellites.

The Pentagon paved the way for competitive military launches in 2012 in the wake of sustained criticism from lawmakers over the cost of the ULA contract, which was extended last year.

Lawmakers and SpaceX have pushed for more competition despite recent efforts by ULA to curb costs.

ULA has defended its record in reducing launch costs and said, in a statement, “it looks forward to demonstrating its commitment to be the safest, most reliable, and most cost-effective provider.”

The Boeing-Lockheed venture has generated more than $1 billion—split between both companies—since it was formed in 2006, including $171 million in profit for Boeing last year, according to regulatory filings.

SpaceX has made a series of successful orbital launches for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and has an international backlog of more than four dozen civilian and commercial launch contracts valued at about $5 billion total.

The prospect of competition in space launches has also been energized by concerns that rising tensions with Russia could leave some U.S. military and spy satellites grounded if ULA can’t get spare or new rocket engines,

Raytheon To Develop Directed Energy Technology For Light Vehicle Deployment

UTC Aerospace Systems selected by Boeing to design and build nacelle systems for the Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner

Laser weapon systems moved a step closer to reality with the award of an $11 million contract to Raytheon Company. Under an Office of Naval Research program, Raytheon will develop a vehicle-based laser device capable of defeating low-flying threats such as enemy drones.

UTC Aerospace Systems’ Aerostructures business has been selected by The Boeing Company to extend its provision of complete nacelle systems for the 787 Dreamliner to include the 787-10 variant.The Aerostructures business was awarded the contract to provide inlets, thrust reversers, fan cowls and exhaust systems for both the GE and Rolls-Royce engine options on the 787-8 and 787-9 in 2004. As with the previous contract, the 787-10 agreement covers design and manufacture of nacelle systems for those engine variants for the higher capacity version of the Dreamliner.

The Ground Based Air Defense (GBAD) Directed Energy On-the-Move Future Naval Capabilities program calls for a field demonstration of a Humvee-mounted short-range laser weapon system with a minimum power output of 25kW. The Raytheon-built laser will be packaged to meet the U.S. Marine Corps’ demanding size, weight and power requirements.

The Aerostructures business will also supply aftermarket support of the 787-10 nacelle systems through its global network of maintenance, repair and overhaul facilities and spares distribution centers. UTC Aerospace Systems is a unit of United Technologies Corp.

The Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner is the third and longest member of the super-efficient 787 family. Launched in June 2013, the 787-10 can carry 323 passengers up to 7,000 nautical miles, which covers more than 90 percent of the world’s passenger routes.

In addition to the nacelle system, UTC Aerospace Systems also provides more than 20 proprietary components and systems for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner commercial jet.

“Raytheon’s laser solution generates high power output in a small, lightweight rugged package ideally suited for mobile platforms,” said Bill Hart, vice president of Raytheon Space Systems.

Raytheon’s planar waveguide (PWG) technology is the key to its unique approach to high energy lasers. Using a single PWG, the size and shape of a 12 inch ruler, Raytheon high energy lasers generate sufficient power to effectively engage small aircraft.

“Our PWG laser architecture is scalable:We can achieve increasingly higher power levels with the same compact design we’re using for GBAD,” Hart said. “Raytheon is paving the way for fielded directed energy weapon systems in the very near future with the demonstration of a Marine Humvee-based high energy laser.”

Raytheon To Develop Directed Energy Technology For Light Vehicle Deployment Laser weapon systems moved a step closer to reality with the award of an $11 million contract to Raytheon Company. Under an Office of Naval Research program, Raytheon will develop a vehicle-based laser device capable of defeating low-flying threats such as enemy drones.

The Ground Based Air Defense (GBAD) Directed Energy Onthe-Move Future Naval Capabilities program calls for a field demonstration of a Humvee-mounted short-range laser weapon system with a minimum power output of 25kW. The Raytheon-built laser will be packaged to meet the U.S. Marine Corps’ demanding size, weight and power requirements.

“Raytheon’s laser solution generates high power output in a small, lightweight rugged package ideally suited for mobile platforms,” said Bill Hart, vice president of Raytheon Space Systems.

Raytheon’s planar waveguide (PWG) technology is the key to its unique approach to high energy lasers. Using a single PWG, the size and shape of a 12 inch ruler, Raytheon high energy lasers generate sufficient power to effectively engage small aircraft.

“Our PWG laser architecture is scalable: We can achieve increasingly higher power levels with the same compact design we’re using for GBAD,” Hart said. “Raytheon is paving the way for fielded directed energy weapon systems in the very near future with the demonstration of a Marine Humvee-based high energy laser.”

It’s war: Arizona’s strengths against other contenders for Tesla’s $5B Gigafactory A r i z o n a , N ew M e x i c o, California, Nevada and Texas are vying for the massive Tesla Motors Inc. battery factory that could create 6,500 jobs.

Wall Street Daily says Musk has several factors to consider in his decision: tax breaks and incentives, regulatory landscape, land, natural resources, cost and a state’s existing relationship with Tesla.

Here’s how Wall Street Daily characterizes Arizona’s strengths and weaknesses:
