APL Research and Development
Volume 28, Number 4 (2010)
This issue of the Technical Digest features an article dedicated to the history of APL’s William H. Avery Advanced Technology Development Laboratory, illustrating its many contributions to propulsion and missile development. Three succeeding articles in the issue describe current work on missile communication, navigation, and lethality assessment. The next two articles detail advances in mathematical algorithms and battery technology, and the issue concludes with a view of the potential future of human space exploration.
