Mirage Although it seems there were no takers for the Nammer, the aviation press has mentioned that IAI is promoting a "Kfir 2000" upgrade, though details are unclear. This system was first developed in 1962, and has been used on a number of weapons targeting systems made by Armscor, such as the G-6 Mobile Howitzer, and the Rooivalk attack helicopter. A heat seeking missile, typically either a Denel Darter or Kukri (although this system is also compatible with the Matra 550 Magic), has its tracking head slaved to the sight by a microwave radio channel, on the UHF band. www.websters-online-dictionary.org /mi/mirage.html   (8853 words)

Armoured warfare - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Prior to World War 2, horse mounted Cavalry performed what is now the tank role; fast and powerful. In all armies there was a great deal of resistance to the introduction of the tank (due to the concomitant replacement of the horse), in particular as Cavalry units were regarded as the elite and had a lot of influence within the army. This is what the United States relies on most, which is demonstrated by their distinct lack of effective short-range, mobile air defence vehicles to accompany armoured units. www.eastcleveland.us /project/wikipedia/index.php/Armoured_warfare   (2345 words)

hn0704.htm The Army is being called on to produce an aviation modernization plan on pain of being denied anything more than 25% of currently authorized funds for modifications and upgrades. The aviation portion of the integrated project is expected to lead to a reduction in the numbers and types of aircraft the service operates, according to Lt. Rex Hayes, a Coast Guard HH-60J pilot, who is overseeing the air platform portion of the project. The Rooivalk is also unproven, and there continues to be widespread speculation that South African President Nelson Mandela will cancel the South African Defense Force's order for the new aircraft, jeopardizing the future of the program. www.aviationtoday.com /samples/hn0704.htm   (4054 words)

Atlas XH-1 Alpha - free-definition The XH-1 Alpha was a prototype attack helicopter built by Atlas Aviation (now Denel Aviation) of South Africa, who used it as a concept demonstrator for the then-planned Rooivalk project.
