The history of the Navy's PTTI Program is outlined, as well as projected PTTI requirements and capabilities. Current and Projected Program efforts were also considered. Simplified diagrams of the user system are provided.
Semiclassical calculations of collinear F+H2(nu = 0) reactive and inelastic scattering in an Nd-glass laser field of various intensities are described. The decoupling approximation developed for the Miller-George theory is used for nonadiabatic transitions between the electronic-field surfaces, and special attention is paid to the choice of a proper coordinate system for applying the decoupling approximation. An increase in the total reaction probability and population ratio of the nu = 3 over nu = 2 vibrational state of HF occurs suddenly as the field intensity increases beyond 10 TW/sq cm. It is found that in a laser field the H2 molecule can be vibrationally excited while the F atom is electronically excited.
The meeting gave PTTI managers, systems engineers, and program planners a transparent view of the state-of-the-art, an opportunity to express needs, a view of important future trends, and a review of relevant past accomplishments. The PTTI users were provided with new and useful applications, procedures, and techniques. Emphasis is placed on military applications and avionics.
The review presents a brief history of the program, its management organization, and current and projected requirements, capabilities and program efforts. The overall program growth since September 1975 is presented. The Navy's areas of concern regarding future PTTI development are described.

Considering the objectives of the Ocean Data Climate Workshop this week and trying to select a related, but not too technical subject, I decided to look at the services needed for ocean clients. I thought that it would make an interesting theme to consider how the acceptance of international ocean services is progressing over the years. Or is it? Are we closer to having a global observing system than we were twenty years ago? If so, what has changed between then and now? What is different between the efforts of twenty years or so ago to get the Integrated Global Ocean Stations System (IGOSS) off the ground and the present attempts to establish the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS)? Is there a window of opportunity now that didn't exist then? If it doesn't happen now, a legitimate question could well be asked.... Will it ever happen? At least on historical topics I am on firm ground, having been attending IOC meetings for many years, in fact, it was in 1970 that I attended my first IGOSS meeting and a couple of years later I started what was to become regular attendances at the IOC Governing Body sessions. Despite the numbing effect of sitting through IOC related meetings for a total of what must add up to two or three years, I can still defend the IOC as an essential intergovernmental body for the oceans. One can accept the value of medicine, but one doesn't have to enjoy the taste.
