Summary/Abstract |
Modern military uniforms require advanced features, such as thermal and fire resistance, enduring anti microbial protection, and be comfortable while also remaining suitable for the specialist applications asked of them by the military users. Modern textiles are also being compared with much older ones, particularly wool to find the best solution for each mission.

Summary/Abstract |
The persistence of the sensor in question is to large degree of function of the platform's capabilities and the many cases, the desire for cost effectiveness has lead to modular architectures allowing multiple different payloads to be installed from mission to mission and in other cases, upgrades over the extended lifetime of the platform.

Summary/Abstract |
Performance based logistics (PBL) have been underpinning a growing number of US weapon systems programmes: indeed it has become, if anything, the default option building upon a trend that began in the early 90s illustrated by the LOGCAP programmes, which were awarded to Kollogg, Brown and Toot in the late 1990s. Based on the initial performance, the US DoD established it as the preferred solution for the procurement of support for its weapon systems in 2001.

Summary/Abstract |
Simply put persistent lower level reconnaissance mimics the role of sentry or look out, watching an area of terrain around him for enemy movement, distinguishing friend from foe as well as the movement of local flora and fauna. The terrain might be part of a border system with the sentry acting in both deterrent as well as surveillance, a covert role son not wanting to be seen for a variety of reasons: or to provide temporary security on a route march or patrol or more a sedentary occupation securing a airbase or other key facility. While the sentry will remain in loop, their frontline role is either much reduced or eliminated, substituted for by the use of technology. While there are shortcoming with any such changes the range of technologies now used are increasingly reliable, can operate in all weathers, day or night at long distances with their range limited only by terrain and the curvature of the earth

Summary/Abstract |
The US army continues its transition from operations in Afghanistan and an acquisition strategy designed to provide immediate benefit for the current fight. Nevertheless, hard learned lessons remain at the heat of future procurement, which recalls lessons learned, always acknowledged but perhaps more publicity stated than ever before.
