When Will Roper, the former U.S. Air Force acquisition chief, called for applying unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) to the adversary air mission in an interview in January with Aviation Week (
AW&ST Feb. 8-21, p. 46), the founder of an experimental aircraft prototype manufacturing company in North Carolina noticed.
For two years, Blue Force Technologies has been developing a UAS called REDMedium to perform as much as 60% of the adversary air training mission for the Air Force.

Why the F-35 Is Such a Badass Plane
Is it America’s most capable fighter, or America’s most expensive headache? Why not both? Jan 31, 2021
Refueling under cover of darkness, a massive formation of U.S. Air Force, Royal Air Force, and Australian Air Force aircraft prepared for combat.
Fourth-generation fighters hailing from all three nations including F-16 Fighting Falcons, F-15 Eagles, and Eurofighter Typhoons coordinated with E-8 Joint STARS command-and-control aircraft. As their stealthy escorts, both F-22 Raptors and F-35 Joint Strike Fighters surveyed the battlespace.
Soon, cockpit displays in each aircraft began to light up and alarms sounded, indicating that the formation was being painted by multiple radar arrays tied to surface-to-air missiles and inbound fighters. Enemy fighters sporting the color schemes of Russian Su-30s began to close in.
Top Armor: Good Luck Stopping These 5 Tanks
Most tanks at least those in the arsenals of the West are pretty much the same in terms of overall capability.
Here s What You Need to Remember: Challenger 2 is considered one of the best-protected tanks in the world, equipped with second-generation Chobham Armor, a composite matrix of ceramic and metal with superior qualities over typical steel-rolled homogeneous armor. The result is tank armor capable of defeating both kinetic energy and high-explosive anti-tank rounds.
The world of the tank an armored fighting vehicle equipped with a large main gun, tracks, and whose mission is to conduct mechanized warfare on the modern battlefield has stagnated. Look around at the tank fleets of all the major powers and most so-called main battle tanks have been in service since the 1990s or even the 1980s. The collapse of the Soviet Union and the shift to terrorism have placed tank forces on the back burner or, in the case of the Netherlands, elim

. the Notify feature immediately activates necessary Command and Control and interoperability functions between U.S. and NATO C4I systems and can be used for First Responder disaster situations.” Cap Beyer, CEOJUPITER, FLORIDA, USA, January 1, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ Breakthrough pioneering work has been done to lodge an entire Command and Control (C2) system into a small footprint combination of Laptop Server and Laptops/ Smartphones to provide a very low cost C4I System that enables an integrated U.S./NATO Ground, Air, and Sea Common Operational Picture (COP). The Server component can be on premises or it can be on the AWS GovCloud or other Cloud service. As done most recently, the Server was even integrated into a lightweight backpacked cellular base station.

Dec. 12, 1955: First prototype of hovercraft patented by British engineer Christoper Cockerell. A hovercraft, also known as an air-cushion vehicle or ACV, is an amphibious craft capable of travelling over land, water, mud, ice, and other surfaces. Hovercraft use blowers to produce a large volume of air below the hull, or air cushion, that is slightly above atmospheric pressure. The pressure difference between the higher pressure air below the hull and lower pressure ambient air above it produces lift, which causes the hull to float above the running surface. For stability reasons, the air is typically blown through slots or holes around the outside of a disk- or oval-shaped platform, giving most hovercraft a characteristic rounded-rectangle shape. Typically this cushion is contained within a flexible “skirt”, which allows the vehicle to travel over small obstructions without damage.
