  Ohio class submarine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
After the end of the cold war plans called for Ohio to be retired in 2002, followed by three of her sisters.
Beginning in 2002–2010, 22 of the 24 88-inch (2.2 m) diameter Trident missile tubes will be modified to contain large vertical launch systems (VLS), one configuration of which may be a cluster of seven Tomahawk missiles.
Ohios are comparable in size to the Oscar class of the Russian Navy.

 ADM-160 MALD - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Miniature Air-Launched Decoy (MALD) program was begun in 1995 by DARPA as an effort to develop a small, low cost decoy missile for use in the suppression of enemy defences.
On launch the wings unfold and a TJ-50 turbojet propels the missile on a pre-determined course which is composed of up to 256 different waypoints.
At one time the US Air Force planned to acquire several thousand of them, but increasing costs have prompted a gradual reduction in this number and the numbers were cut back to only a hundred or so demonstrators.

 [6.0] Decoys
The bombbay was fitted with a mechanical system to lower the decoys into the airstream, where they spread their wings and tail and were launched.
The Samson decoys were part of the suite of countermeasures the Israelis used over the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon in 1982 against Syrian air defenses with dramatic effect.
The Air Force decided that the MALD demonstrator didn't have the range or endurance to be the decoy the service wanted, and would not have been a good platform for other roles.

Aerobees were launched for 53 m tall launch towers to provide the necessary stability until enough speed had been gained for the fins to be effective in controlling the rocket.
The new launch vehicle was expected to make its first flight in 1998, reach full operational capability of up to 30 flights per year in 2000, and replace all existing expendable launch vehicles by 2005.
The launch capability was 11,340 kg and the standard payload would have consisted of a small lenticular 12-man orbital transfer vehicle spaceplane for space station logistics and crew transfer.

Another document showed a cover pulled off the side of a Trident first stage rocket motor at Bangor in November 2001 in a scenario that the Navy had thought was not possible.
The first TRIDENT missile was launched from a flat pad at Cape Canaveral, Florida, on January 18, 1977.
There was no injury to the submarine or its crew, although family members of the submarine crew who had been invited to watch the launch from a nearby ship (from which this photo was taken) were understandably quite upset.

The air sample from the 200 West area measured 6 x 10 to the power of minus 4 picocuries per cubic meter of plutonium.
In 34 other air samples, taken primarily in the 200 East and 200 West areas, authorities found alpha particles, which are released during the decay of radioactive substances.
The plutonium particles turned up in an air sample from the eastern boundary of the 200 West area, near the central part of the 560-square-mile reservation, where some of Hanford's most dangerous waste is stored.

The US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is in the process of handing over a miniature decoy to the US Air Force that is designed to copy the typical flight profile of a fighter aircraft.
The unmanned decoy is designed to simulate the mission profiles of typical fighter aircraft with the ability to maneuver through high "g" turns, climbs, and dives.
The Air Force is considering a limited "Silver Bullet" procurement (where a small instead of large number of high-tech weapons are produced) of 100 to 150 MALDs over a three-year period starting in FY 2002.

This was an A-12 platform modified by replacing the single seat aircraft's Q bay (which carried its main camera) with a second cockpit for a launch control officer.
The D-21 drone was completely autonomous; having been launched it would overfly the target, travel to a rendezvous point and eject its data package.
The program to develop this system was canceled in 1966 after a drone collided with the mother ship at launch, destroying the M-21 and killing the Launch Control Officer.

 Northrop Grumman ADM-160A / Raytheon ADM-160B MALD
In 1995, DARPA initiated the MALD (Miniature Air-Launched Decoy) ACTD (Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration) program, and in November 1996, Teledyne Ryan (now Northrop Grumman) was awarded a development contract for the ADM-160A flight vehicle.
The mission profile is preprogrammed, but can be redefined by the pilot of the launching aircraft until immediately before launch.
In late 2001, the Air Force planned to procure about 150 ADM-160As beginning in 2003 for an SDD (System Development and Demonstration) program.

I am painting some Harpoon miniatures and some larger models and it would be my preference to paint them correctly rather than a random pick of one of the many shades of grey paint available.
Launching the missles was alright, with the expected number of hits, but I only lost 4 of the 8.
While those aircraft were being launched and heading into the zone, the Migs made a series of low-rate turns near Split, which the Tomcats first attempted to follow, then elected to pace from well within the no-fly zone.

Air strikes from Turkey, which agrees to British pressure over its E.U membership to allow U.K forces on its soil, begin to destroy Saudi air defense, troop ships arrive and final plans arranged.
Long range air strikes are feasible straight away but early naval engagements will be sparodic until the US tries to achieve Naval supremacy.
Remember the Viking refuellers operating from carriers use a different mid air refuelling system to air force tankers, probe and drogue rather than extendable boom, which will limit their usefullness to naval aircraft only, the airforce will need KC 130 type large slow moving tankers.
