Aberdeen Proving Ground Installation Restoration Program Aberdeen Proving Ground is preparing to locate and remove buried chemical warfare material from a portion of the boundary in the Edgewood Area known as the Lauderick Creek Area. The majority of the munitions tested over the years at the proving ground did not contain chemical warfare materiel. Aberdeen Proving ground has posted signs, installed fencing, and restricted areas of the waterways to limit public access to areas where ordnance might be found. www.harfordcountymd.gov /eoc/EmerPlan/apg.html   (1141 words)

Space warfare - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Space warfare was seen primarily as an extension of nuclear warfare, and so theoretical systems were based around the destruction or defense of ground and sea-based missiles. Early efforts to conduct space warfare were directed at space-to-space warfare, as ground-to-space systems were considered to be too slow and too isolated by Earth's atmosphere to be effective. None of these systems is known to be active today; however, a less powerful civilian version of the ground-to-space laser system is commonly used in the astronomical technique of adaptive optics. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Space_warfare   (851 words)

"Home Run" Used To Electronically Hijack World Trade Center Aircraft This was the first hard proof that the target aircraft had been hijacked electronically from the ground, rather than by [FBI-inspired] motley crews of Arabs toting penknives. The only possible reason for this, is data capture by Home Run, providing the final hard proof that the attack aircraft were hijacked electronically from the ground, rather than by “Arab terrorists”. Brilliant both in concept and operation, “Home Run” [not its real code name] allowed specialist ground controllers to listen in to cockpit conversations on the target aircraft, then take absolute control of its computerized flight control system by remote means. geocities.com /mknemesis/homerun.html   (3128 words)

Combined Arms Fire support is the collective and coordinated employment of the fires of armed aircraft, land- and sea-based indirect fire systems (and electronic warfare systems when these are in a game) against ground targets. For example an artillery barrage must be timed to start before a ground unit advance to have enough time to suppress the defenders before the ground units come under defensive fire then the barrage must be lifted at the proper time so as to not suppress the attackers. In combination with this, I place the artillery designations that are assigned in deployment so I have possible attack routes covered. spwaw.com /lholttg/combinedarms.htm   (3128 words)

MOS Organization And Training For Tactical SIGINT Modernization The reorganizing and retraining of the enlisted SIGINT/Ground Electronic Warfare Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) is the critical step in implementing a new methodology. MOS 2691 Marines are trained to plan and supervise tactical SIGINT and ground EW operations within the FMF Radio Battalion. Target signals that a linguist could have prosecuted with a generic receiver ten years ago may shortly require a highly technical search effort to detect and geolocate, and another highly technical analytic effort to demodulate, all before the information can be put into a format that a linguist or analyst can exploit. www.globalsecurity.org /intell/library/reports/1992/BJ1.htm   (3128 words)

NDM Article - Air Force Mulling Over Programs to Kill, Protect Satellites in Space Warfare One large breach in the system identified by FAS and the Air Force is the information gap that exists between orbiting systems and the ground. To remedy this, the Air Force is developing the rapid attack identification and reporting system (RAIDERS) program-a satellite with a sensor, with the capability to detect if something is going wrong with the system, and report details back to ground controllers. Much to the consternation of advocates who oppose the use of arms in space, the Air Force is speaking bluntly about its right and intention to explore the orbital deployment of weapons platforms. www.nationaldefensemagazine.org /issues/2004/Dec/AirForceMulling.htm   (1209 words)

SPACE.com -- Think Tank Warns Against Space Weapons Systems A ballistic missile could disable satellites in low-earth orbit by detonating a nuclear device, subjecting any ground troops relying intelligence from those satellites to possible attack, the study noted. If other nations or groups choose not to put their own space weapons in orbit, they could develop ground-based countermeasures like electronic jamming or spoofing devices to confuse U.S. machines. If space warfare becomes a reality, it should only be implemented as a last resort, according to the Stimson study. www.space.com /news/weaponized_space_040122.html   (803 words)

AGF Study No. 23: TRAINING FOR MOUNTAIN AND WINTER WARFARE Its purpose is to trace the development of mountain and winter warfare training from its inception in 1940 to its termination, as far as Army Ground Forces was concerned, in 1944, and not to give a detailed or technical account of the problems involved. This general study of the experiments in mountain and winter warfare training from 1940 to 1944 is designed as an introduction to the histories of the Mountain Training Center and The 10th Mountain Division and to the numerous technical reports by the units involved. This proposal was discussed during the winter of 1942-43 and a Table of Organization for a light division, suitable for Jungle, mountain, amphibious, or airborne purposes, with the attachment of appropriate transportation, was prepared by the Army Ground Forces in February 1943. www.army.mil /cmh-pg/books/agf/agf23.htm   (803 words)

The Evolution of Air Warfare The idea of air supremacy and strategic bombing as decisive factors in warfare had been born and would be developed in the postwar years by pioneers in several countries, notably in the United States by the Army Air Corps leaders. The war ended before air power could be decisively proven in tactical situations, but the air had become an area of battle no less than the ground and the sea. The first significant application of air power was the balloon, which was used for reconnaissance in the ancient quest for the high ground. www.airpower.maxwell.af.mil /airchronicles/aureview/1972/mar-apr/wheeler.html   (4218 words)

GLOSSARY S These electrons create a strong current in the air that induces a return current through the ground, local currents within military hardware, and magnetic fields. The ground elements consist of a transmitter and a receiver which may be combined into a single transceiver, an antenna, power supplies and appropriate packaging and transport in the case of mobile units.

CNS - China's Space Capabilities and the Strategic Logic of Anti-Satellite Weapons - July 22, 2002 - Research Story of the Week This view of asymmetric warfare and the importance of space is evident in writings by PLA scholars, who have considered various types of anti-satellite systems, including kinetic energy weapons (KE ASAT), ground-based lasers, and satellite jammers. A recent analysis of the Chinese space program suggests that ground-based laser technology is well within China's reach, and a more likely alternative to space-based technologies due to lower relative costs and superior control capabilities. China has been extremely vocal in international fora with regards to the demilitarization of outer space and is a strong proponent of a multilateral treaty banning space weapons, indicating internal pressures may exist that could slow progress towards ASAT development and deployment. cns.miis.edu /pubs/week/020722.htm   (2874 words)

THEATHER WARFARE: CAN THE AIRLAND BATTLE SUCCEED WITHOUT CLOSE AIR SUPPORT? In terms of United States theater warfare doctrine, the process is one in which the roles of the Army and Air Force must obviously overlap. Thus it is not only the lethality of the modern aggressor that must concern the pilot in support of ground troops, but also the fact that his friendly supporting cast must be carefully and meticulously orchestrated. The central issue in the qualitative fire support of ground combat units by airpower has been presented as a conflict or misperception of the written service doctrine. www.globalsecurity.org /military/library/report/1988/MJM.htm   (2874 words)

0604270A Electronic Warfare (EW) Development Signals Warfare Development provides for development of multifunction ground based and airborne intelligence and electronic warfare systems. A key factor in modern warfare is the ability to collect, process and use information about an adversary while preventing him from obtaining similar information. While operating in a fully automatic mode, it will enhance the Division Commander's ability to outmaneuver and kill the enemy by specifically identifying HVTs such as enemy countermortar, and counterbattery ground surveillance radar at critical points in the battle and will provide precise emitter locations with targeting accuracy. www.fas.org /irp/budget/fy98_army/0604270a.htm   (606 words)

Anti-aircraft warfare - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Anti-aircraft warfare, or air defense, is any method of engaging military aircraft in combat from the ground. As aircraft started to be used in tactical roles against ground targets, larger weapons proved too ponderous to aim at the quickly moving targets. The United States Navy uses the term Anti-Air Warfare (AAW); most groups of ships have a designated AAW commander among them. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Anti_aircraft   (3720 words)

Aberdeen Proving Ground • History Aberdeen Proving Ground has a proud history and is still referred to as "The Home of Army Ordnance." It is indeed one of the Army's finest test, evaluation, research, development, engineering, and training installations in the world. The new proving ground at Aberdeen was to be used for proof-testing field artillery weapons, ammunition, trench mortars, air defense guns, and railway artillery. The then-Sandy Hook Proving Ground at Fort Hancock, New Jersey, because of its location near to the populated New York suburbs and the busy New York harbor, was unable to expand to test all of the war materiel which was soon to become available. www.apg.army.mil /apghome/sites/about/history.asp   (2202 words)

PARAMETERS, US Army War College Quarterly - Winter 2005-06 Forces and doctrine optimized for conventional warfare and the rapid application of intense violence are hardly optimized for the counterinsurgent mission, which demands the utmost restraint and discrimination in the application of force. In the future, US military forces engaged in counterinsurgency operations must be composed of personnel with training and skills similar to special operations forces, i.e., the language and culture of the country, and in the critically important political, economic, intelligence, organizational, and psychological dimensions of counterinsurgency warfare. Conventional ground force preparation for counterinsurgency requires major doctrinal and training deprogramming of conventional military habits and reprogramming with the alien tactics, doctrines, and heavy political oversight inherent in stability and support operations. carlisle-www.army.mil /usawc/parameters/05winter/record.htm   (6260 words)

Trench warfare - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Trench Warfare is a form of war in which both opposing armies have static lines of fortifications dug into the ground, facing each other. Trench warfare arose when there was a revolution in firepower without similar advances in mobility and communications. The grenade came to be the primary infantry weapon of trench warfare. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Trench_warfare   (9075 words)

Armoured warfare - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia During the Cold War, NATO and the Warsaw Pact assumed armoured warfare to be a dominant aspect of conventional ground warfare in Europe. Armoured warfare in modern warfare is understood to be the use of armoured fighting vehicles as a central component of the methods of war. The units were entirely mobile and consisted of reconnaissance tankettes and armoured cars, a battalion of 48 Vickers medium tanks, a motorized machine gun battalion, a mechanized artillery regiment, which had one battery of fully-tracked self-propelled guns capable of acting as conventional or anti-aircraft artillery (Birch guns), and a motorized company of field engineers. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Armoured_warfare   (2664 words)

washingtonpost.com: Ground War: Doing More With Less The crucial mission of ground forces is likely to be an enduring one that will be undiminished, or even accentuated, by the ongoing revolution in warfare. Nonetheless, the decline in the stature of ground forces intensified with the unconventional and rapid overthrow of the Taliban and the pursuit of al Qaeda. U.S. ground forces have proven vital to rapid, strategic "preclusion" -- taking away options from the Iraqi regime, a key objective of the war's initial phase -- and to fighting with discrimination in cluttered battle spaces, the only ground on which the Iraqi forces have chosen to make their stand. www.washingtonpost.com /ac2/wp-dyn/A32232-2003Apr4?language=printer   (1284 words)

Encyclopedia: Trench warfare Trench warfare is a form of war (The waging of armed conflict against an enemy) in which both opposing armies have static lines of fortification (Defensive structure consisting of walls or mounds built around a stronghold to strengthen it) s dug into the ground, facing each other.
