The National Response Framework (NSF) gives specific guidance on how a nation responds to emergencies and national disasters. The framework is developed on flexible, adjustable and accessible concepts as laid down by the system of National Incident Management to align the major responsibilities and roles across the authorities of our nation (Durant, 2007), (2013). The framework has 14 core capabilities that clearly outlines the best practices as well as the respective authorities for incident…
In my position with the Army Materiel Command, I actually was responsible for several other programs that covered many of the Army’s core functions for communications and signal. One of the Army’s major functions is Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR). Absent the actual purchase of weapons system the second most important function that needs to be performed is controlling those systems via communications. The Army Materiel Command…
Drawing upon resource material provided and that discovered while conducting your own research, students are expected to develop a written essay of 4-5 pages total (not including title page and reference list) to fully provide the requested information regarding the following two topics (both must be addressed): Topic 1: Fully describe the overall concepts of homeland security and homeland defense. Construct a response that provides the following related to both homeland security and homeland…
When you or someone can recreate your idea into a 3d image called a CAD (Computer-aided Design) file. From the CAD file, it’s converted to a STL (Standard Tessellation Language) file. Then it’s transferred over to a 3d printer, which can print your idea in many different ways depending on what type of 3d printer is being used. There is a very diverse selection for types of additive manufacturing. Several different materials…
Both 3D printers follow the Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) process. The Printrbot 1404 is capable of printing both Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) and Polylactic Acid (PLA) plastics on a heated printed bed. The Printrbot extruder is able to move on the x, y, and z axis, while its print bed is…
There are two different structures in which a large company such as Pixar can be organized in; Traditional and or a Contemporary business structure. Pixar is a contemporarily organized company; meaning that while the company still has a CEO and senior officers; the employees of whom do not have an official rank in the company still have major role to play in how their company functions. This differs from a traditional business structure in which you have officers and CEOs as well a rigid…
3. Uses of Building information Modeling (BIM) BIM is a 3-D model process used in the engineering, architecture and construction with tools to manage the project effectively in planning, designing, constructing and operational phase. At every stage of project development, BIM plays a vital role, in planning BIM is used for cost estimation; phase planning, site analysis and programming. In the design phase, BIM used for structural analysis, lightning analysis, mechanical analysis, LEED evaluation…
3D Printing and the Additive Manufacturing Process Additive manufacturing (AM) is a process where an object is created by adding layer-upon-layer of material. This basic process requires the use of a computer, CAD software, the material(s) and the appropriate machine to fabricate the end result. AM has been used in many applications. At first, it was used in Rapid Prototyping (RP). Today, AM is used to create end-products used in many different applications, from aerospace, automotive and…
