| Summary/Abstract |
Since the Civil War, when Union Soldiers utilised hot air balloons to serve as a surveillance platform, lighter than air technology has been a part of the military's inventory. As US forces began a troop surge in Afghanistan while maintaining security in Iraq the need to provide soldiers with a persistent view of the battlefield was paramount.
The primary goal of Millennium Airship is to design, engineer, build, market and operate the world's first Heavy-Lift Air Vehicle that is lighter-than-air, all-weather, amphibious semi-rigid, multi-mission, hybrid. The key feature of this aircraft will be in that it is so manoeuvrable that it can operate in and out of virtually anywhere (land or sea) where there is enough space to accommodate its size.

| Summary/Abstract |
Airborne Electronic Warfare (EW) encompasses several different tasks: It includes the tactical detection
of Radio Frequency (RF) energy emitted by ground-based, aircraft-mounted and weapons guidance radars, and the activation of active and passive counter - measures to neutralise such threats. Beyond its tactical use, EW includes the collection of information regarding the enemy's electronic order or battle vis-à-vis the planning and execution of an air campaign at the strategic level. This article surveys some of the recent occurrences in the world of Airborne EW, examining the products of some of the leading companies in this domain.

| Summary/Abstract |
There are several generations of night vision (NV) devices (NVD) in use today. this article sheds s light on technology used and innovation on the market.
During the Cold War, as a young tank officer, I (John Antal) was trained to move and fight my tanks at night. During my first assignment to Germany in 1978, we illuminated targets at the tank firing range at Grafenwoehr, using mortar and artillery flares. We also had powerful whitelight and "pink-light" IR searchlights mounted on each tank to "turn night into day." The passive IR sights integrated into the fire control system of an M60A1 tank displayed fuzzy outlines of targets that were illuminated by the IR searchlights. As new developments in NV devices occurred, we were fielded better tanks with better NV equipment. In my four-year tour in Germany, the NV systems on my tanks evolved from IR searchlights to passive sights that did not require illumination by searchlights. By the time I commanded a tank company at the end of my tour of duty, my "newer" M60A3 tanks were equipped with the latest thermal
imaging systems and we engaged targets rapidly and accurately in total darkness. This was a remarkable transformation in fighting capability and emblematic of the rapid technological progression in the field of NV devices.

| Summary/Abstract |
The article offers information on gunshot location systems with acoustic sensors to detect gunshots in an urban environment. It discusses how the system works which usually consists of microphones or sensors, a processing unit, and a user-interface displaying gunfire alerts. It details how the system locates gunshots and detect snipers. It also provides information on several gunshot location solutions which includes the Soldier Worn Acoustic Targeting System from Cobham PLC.

| Summary/Abstract |
From heavy cargo trucks to special trailers - cost drives the choice between the two, but what are they, and what are the real-world penalties? The success of any military operation, and most particularly intervention operation involving deployment over significant distances, depends on a significant extent on the availability of appropriate logistic support assets. These include, first and foremost tactical/logistic vehicles intended to transport and distribute supplies to first-line combat units.

| Summary/Abstract |
The article offers a review of vehicle mounted radios including the TDRS from Rockwell Collins Inc., the SWave vehicular radio from Selex ES SpA, and Military IP Radio (MIPR) from Elbit Systems Ltd.
Dedicated vehicle mounted radios have several performance advantages versions over MANPACK and hand held radios, not experiencing the size, weight and power limitations enabling higher power output, more effective antenna and because its vehicle mounted, its height gives additional performance enhancements. Dismounted radios have to not be a burden to the soldier and keep him in touch with his unit, vehicle and HQ.
