| 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 |
South Korea takes its security issues very seriously. For years the Republic of Korea (ROK) relied on for eign military equipment, primarily from the US, but as the South Korean economy surged, ROK industries became leaders in military technology development and production. One of the areas that the ROK has excelled is in the area of unmanned robotic military systems. This article looks at some of the unmanned systems (UnS) currently developed by the South Korean defence industry.

| Summary/Abstract |
Modern soldier systems are becoming more and more sophisticated, with an increasing demand for reliable and flexible power. Batteries alone are pushed to their limits. Soldiers have to carry an abundance of spare batteries to provide sufficient power for multiday mission scenarios, increasing the weight tremendously and wasting volume they could use to carry water, food or ammunition.

| Summary/Abstract |
So many sensors now populate the battlefield that there is almost no portion of the electromagnetic spectrum unexploited by imaging devices operating in the visual, near IR, short, medium and long wave IR, and even ultraviolet wavebands. IR sensors, however, are now so widespread that managing thermal signatures has become as important as visual camouflage. As with stealth at sea and in the air, however, benefits are generally analogue rather than digital - people and things are not either visible or invisible, rather they are more or less visible at varying ranges. This means that small improvements in signature management can give the side that possesses them a significant advantage.

| Summary/Abstract |
It is hard to avoid a sneaking suspicion that the military doesn't there would be fewer new purchase of weapons chambered for and 9x19 Mm and .45 ACP rounds, and many more chambers for more modern potent ammunition such 10x25Mm and 5.7x28Mm rounds.

| Summary/Abstract |
How can naval fleets improve their knowledge to protect them against evolving threats? Today's ship centric security identifies potential threats from the air/sea in time, principally by employing sophisticated shipboard and aircraft carried sensors. This analysis takes a look at four key developments in this field: IRST systems, airborne maritime radars, handheld sonars, and sonobuoy data procession.

| Summary/Abstract |
A retrograde operation is a manoeuvre to the rear or away from the enemy. It is part of a larger scheme of manoeuvre to regain the initiative and defeat the enemy. Its purpose is to improve the current situation or prevent a worse situation from occurring. Its objectives are to gain time, to preserve forces, to avoid combat under undesirable conditions, or to manoeuvre the enemy into an unfavourable position. Retrograde operations may facilitate repositioning forces, shortening or permitting unit withdrawals for employment elsewhere.

| Summary/Abstract |
The Royal Australian Navy (RAN) is a service that punches above its weight and will receive a substantial boost to its force projection capability.
The RAN has to cover a huge expanse of water, around the 7.7 million square kilometer island continent and Canberra's interests extend into the Solomon Islands, where the RAN supports a regional assistance mission in Operation "Anode," and New Guinea to the north west, the Antarctic, as well as deploying a frigate in the Persian Gulf supports the campaign against terrorism by operating in Operation "Slipper."

| Summary/Abstract |
Sniper rifles and their Anti-Materiel Rifle (AMR) counterparts are significant force multipliers that combine precision, destructive power and psychological impact along with sufficient accuracy to minimize collateral damage. Their capabilities overlap as, given the right ammunition, sniper rifles can be very effective for anti-materiel tasks and many of the heavier caliber weapons are designed for both roles

| Summary/Abstract |
In the last decades of the 20th Century, the proponents of Directed Energy Weapons (DEW) have promised that lasers and high-power energy weapons would revolutionise warfare. In many ways, this promise has come true in a different form as thousands of smaller lasers fill the arsenals of modern military forces. These lasers, however, are mostly range finding systems designed to improve the capability and effectiveness of kinetic weapons or dazzlers designed to incapacitate enemy optics. Recent developments, however, suggest that the promise of DEW is moving closer to reality.
