| Summary/Abstract |
U.S. policy banning openly gay and lesbian personnel from serving in its military rests on the belief that heterosexual discomfort with lesbian and gay service members in an integrated environment would degrade unit cohesion and readiness. To inform this policy, data from a 2006 survey of Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans are analyzed in this study. Views of these war veterans are consistent with prior surveys of military personnel showing declining support for the policy: from about 75 percent in 1993 to 40 percent in this survey. Among the demographic and military experience variables analyzed, comfort level with lesbian and gay people was the strongest correlate of attitudes toward the ban. War veterans indicated that the strongest argument against the ban is that sexual orientation is unrelated to job performance and that the strongest argument in favor of the ban is a projected negative impact on unit cohesion. However, analyses of these war veterans' ratings of unit cohesion and readiness revealed that knowing a gay or lesbian unit member is not uniquely associated with cohesion or readiness; instead, the quality of leaders, the quality of equipment, and the quality of training are the critical factors associated with unit cohesion and readiness.

| Summary/Abstract |
The article focuses on tactical unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and the need to develop an effective defense against drone attacks. Existing weapons and ways to defend against drones are presented. Problems discussed include challenges in detecting and destroying small size UAV's or drones. Options for defending against tactical drones including the use of laser as weapon, powerful electromagnetic impulses that disable drone equipment and drone hunter-killers are also presented.

| Summary/Abstract |
The development of operational research and analysis has de-pended both on the demands generated by a changing defence environment and on the availability of relevant expertise, tools and techniques from within the con-temporaneous scientific environ-ment. On the demand side, defence transformations have often figured prominently in stimulating ana-lytical developments.

| Summary/Abstract |
Urban sprawl has led to increasing prevalence of endangered species on military training facilities throughout the United States. Provisions of the Endangered Species Act imply encroachment interrupts military training activities and may affect military readiness. Endangered species protection and military training are competing non-market goods. This paper reports the estimates of public valuation of military training activities incorporating explicit trade-offs associated with endangered species protection. Our results suggest the public is willing to pay to alleviate conflicts between endangered species and the military. The public values for continued survival of endangered species approximately equal those for military readiness

| Summary/Abstract |
The article explores the trends in surveillance technology for land combat which are categorised as on-demand, enduring and persistent. These trends include small robots and throwbots that provide the ability to see a structure over a wall, old technologies in the form of high technological balloons, and wireless network of micro-mechanical systems. It notes that technological innovations including the proliferation of sensors may change nations' combat capabilities by 2020.
