Welcome to home page for FAMU/FSU
College of Engineering Mechanical Engineering Senior Design Team #9, partnered with
Lockheed Martin in the redesign of the Small Arms Transmitter, an integral part
of the MILES 2000 gear. The small arms
transmitter (SAT) is roughly the size of a cellular phone and houses various
electrical components such as a number of circuit boards, a switch, optical
assemblies, etc. We have been asked to redesign the package of these
components with several design goals in mind including a reduction in weight, an
overhaul of the mounting device, and a material change. MILES has seen
many changes since the late 1970's in many areas, and redesigning the SAT is the
next step in its optimization.
