| Summary/Abstract |
Truly amphibious vehicles are hybrids, and by nature complicated. Consequently, their designs always involve more than the usual amount of compromise compounded by more than the usual amount of risk to schedules, budgets and ultimate operational capability. And web-footed forces that must manoeuvre from the sea - the USMC being the supreme example - are exposed more than most.

| 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-Ã -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 |
OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) increasingly outsource (part of) their supply chains to contract manufacturers. Various benefits, reasons, risks, and theories on outsourcing have been developed, discussed, and analysed in a wide body of literature. This article focuses on supporting national Armed Forces on and off the battlefield.

| Summary/Abstract |
The process of EOD, UXO, and decommissioning is slow, expensive, and dangerous. Well-experienced personnel, mission-oriented tactics, and advanced equipment are needed to remove either landmines or improvised explosives from often difficult terrain. The great challenge is to reduce the time it takes them to find, identify, eliminate or decommission dangerous explosives in a responsible manner. This is a principle that is shared by many nations, also requiring sophisticated industrial demilitarisation capabilities.

| Summary/Abstract |
The 21st Century has come up with new innovations such as improvedand new types of ammunition, advanced aiming systems, and multi-calibre ability. As weapons evolve, the delicate balance for assault rifle systems between power, weight, recoil and terminal effects will likely shift once again in an attempt to defeat body armour, to match the range of full-power cartridges, and to penetrate through wind shields and thinskinned vehicles while still producing good terminal effects. This is an overview of 21st Century assault rifles.

| Summary/Abstract |
The character of 21st Century warfare is dominated by information warfare and long-range precision
strikes coupled with new forms of C4ISR. This is being achieved by linking intelligence together by a multiplicity of highly advanced sensors carried by high-altitude surveillance platforms, including HALE UAS, purpose-designed AEW&C aircraft, and space-based systems.

| 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.

| Summary/Abstract |
2012 was not only great for Britain in celebrating the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and delivering unprecedented national sporting success, but also in laying the groundwork for substantial reform of the way defence is delivered
So now is an exciting time to be involved in the British Defence industry; a future of reform is coupled with our reinforced ambition to consolidate our position as a leading player in the global defence market.
It has been nearly four years since the now Chief of Defence Materiel Bernard Gray released his report on UK Defence acquisition. Since then we have made considerable progress in the way we think about procurement by not only fixing problems in the current system but by also putting in place models to minimise recurrence in future.

| Summary/Abstract |
In Romania, the MoND was allocated RON8.08 billion (U$2.18 billion) or 1.3% of GDP in 2013, a slight increase over the 2012 defence budget that was RON7.34 billion. Still, the current defence budget is lower than the 2% target set by NATO, which Romania joined in 2004. On the other hand, the defence budget has stayed at 0.8% of GDP since the beginning of the financial crisis in 2008.

| Summary/Abstract |
The US military services have seen their demand for small arms ammunition increase exponentially since the beginning of OIF and OEF. While the Pentagon continues to procure ammunition to support numerous combat operations, predeployment training events and the other "normal" day-to-day training, the services are also pursuing improvements in the lethality and other characteristics of small calibre ammunition. Military ground forces have an expanding number of small arms weapons to ensure their units and individuals can accomplish the mission in every climate and venue.

| Summary/Abstract |
Soldier modernization At least 46 countries have some kind of formally-acknowledged soldier modernisation programme. What's more, it is probably safe to assume that every nation state that puts its young people in uniform has at least the intention of equipping them with modern technologies, making them more effective in combat against a perceived enemy.

| Summary/Abstract |
In the UK, we are undertaking significant modernization of our forces. As be come to the end of a decade of more of enduring operations overseas, we are reshaping our armed forces for contingency: to be more agile and adaptable; smaller, but and supported by what remains the world's forth largest defence budget.
