Of these, there is the AEGIS weapons system, which tracks and destroys enemy missiles, thus accomplishing AAW. The destroyer has 96 VLS cells used to launch SM-2/6 surface-to-air missiles and SM-3 anti-ballistic missiles, which contribute to AAW and Ballistic Missile Defense, along with close range weapons like the Mk 38 25mm Chain Gun and Mk15 Phalanx Close In Weapons System. The ship detects incoming air threats using the four SPY-1D radar systems, which can simultaneously track several targets at once while maintaining surveillance of the sky. The DDG 51 also uses advanced sensors for ASW, such as the AN/SQQ-89, which combines sensors such as Towed Array Sonar, Sonobuoys and hull-mounted sonar to help track and destroy enemy submarines, torpedoes or mines using Mk46 torpedoes. Additionally, the Arleigh Burke class employs two Mk45 5 inch guns to destroy shore targets and enemy surface ships. Through its versatility and adaptability of mission sets, along with diversity of weapon systems, the Arleigh Burke Class destroyer is platform that fully supports the 21st Century Mission set of the United States…
It was developed by Spar Aerospace with the National Research Council and modelled after the human arm. Otherwise known as a Remote Manipulator System, it could lift 30 tonnes in space while being monitored and operated from the indoor shuttle flight deck.…
Today, America uses the M16A2 Rifle. Nearly every soldier in combat uses this weapon. It is most commonly known as the M-16. It was first brought into the Vietnam war as the M16A1. This rifle is light, functions with extremely little problems, and puts out a lot of lead. It fires in 3 round bursts or fires one bullet at a time (semi-automatic). We also use the M-4 rifle. This weapon is mainly used by the 82nd airborne division and special operation units, such as the Army Rangers. It has a short barrel and a collapsable stock which makes it perfect for close quarters combat. It fires a standard 5.56 millimeter round. This gun can be fitted with a M-203 40mm grenade launcher. What about those guys that have an incredible shot at long range? Well that’s what the M-24 sniper rifle is for. It entered the army in 1998. This rifle is bolt action which means it is a bit more accurate than lever action or semi-automatic guns. It used the M3A scope with a 10x magnification. The M40A1 is the sniper rifle recommended for the US Marine Corps. It is based on a Remington 700, it has a heavy barrel, bolt action, and it is magazine fed. It’s equipped with a 10x Unertl scope. An earlier model was put into war around 1970. The M-240 entered the war in 1997. It fired 7.62mm NATO rounds. A good thing about this machine gun it that is popular. For instance, if an enemy helicopter crashes it can be searched for extra ammunition or the gun can…

Increased security threats caused by heightened global terror activities, for instance, sectarian groups or Mexican drug empires, has prompted the development of decisive technologies, which will respond directly to the increased sophistication of these radical groups. A reliable technology is the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) commonly known as a drone. The drone not only investigates a terror environment but also conducts aerial strikes. The commencing research will analyze in detail the positive impacts of the drone to homeland security.…
Drones are flown by pilots thousands of miles away, controlled from remote bases like Creech Air Force Base, where no pilot ever leaves the ground. The base is located 45 miles north of the Las Vegas Strip. Drones help support military troops on the ground by giving them a bird’s eye view, utilizing sophisticated imaging and radar technologies. Drones are mainly used to find and target individuals or small groups. The government claims that with the help of drones, they have eliminated up to 70% of al Qaeda’s…

Different martial organizations are a hazard to Americans: “Isis and al Qaeda pose an existential threat because they… “provoke domestic and global trends that endanger American values and way of life, and plan direct attacks against the U.S. and its partners” (Kagen et al. 14). Modern technology advances are giving Islamic terrorists an advantage on attacks. Drones are one of the newest military threats towards the United States Military. Because they are small, highly active, and low-cost, they pose the highest military threat. Currently, the United States military is attempting to detect the drones by listening for radio signals; however, because they are silent and programmed to carry out specific missions, it makes them much harder to find. As a matter of fact, “unmanned aircrafts are now ‘sufficiently inexpensive’ that the U.S. military must anticipate [that] some of them may be flown directly into U.S. troops or vehicles as part of an attack” (Lamothe 1). Since remote-control aircrafts are easy for anyone to lay their hands on, it can be difficult…

Jean Piaget was an influential psychologist who created the Theory of Cognitive Development, which consisted of four stages. He believed that when humans are in their infancy, childhood, and adolescence, they try to understand the world through experiments. During cognitive development, children are little scientists that create experiments and conclusions on how to adapt to the world. By the time children become adults, they will be able to put into affect everything they have learned, and utilize the skills they need to live in this world. Assimilation is one of the methods in Piaget’s stages. Assimilation does not require a great deal of adjustment. Through the process of assimilation, new information is added to our existing knowledge base. As an illustration, in the situation that the young child is trying to understand why a “rock is sweating,” according to Piaget, the child has past experience of going outside in warm temperatures and perspiring. This perspiration relates the little boy to the water droplets on the rock. Ms. Ortega’s understanding of this observation can also relate her experience of going outside in the warm temperatures and perspiring.…
‘ Amazon Prime Air A Case Analysis Written by Brandon Lombardi Amazon.com has introduced Prime Air, its delivery drone service with aspirations to improve the delivery system as a whole. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been in development for many years now, aside from their connection to military applications. Drone research has widely increased in recent years, revealing newfound possibilities and capabilities.

In the history of warfare it has been successfully used by Americans in Vietnam, both by Arabs and Israelis in the Arab Israel war, specially in Yom Kippur war, in the Falkland war, Afghan war and by the allied forces in the recent Iraq-Kuwait war. So did the Indians in Bangladesh during 1971. Hence, necessity of helicopter, tasks and tactical employment of heliborne operation forces, including airborne forces and understanding their implication on ground can not be over emphasized.…
