The MTA can airlift some 90 of fully armed Para troopers can drop the Para troops in High to low altitudes, where the MTA can fly over some 42,000 feet which can easily bypass Anti Aircraft gun fire and manpads. also can stay in the high altitudes making them as a civil aero plane confusing enemy Air traffic

    Avro Arrow Essay

    • 905 Words

    Since the dawn of mankind, humans have always wanted to conquer the skies. After the Wright Brothers first flight, mankind has dreamed of bigger and better aircrafts. Shortly after World War ll a company named Avro Aircraft Limited was assigned the job by the Royal Canadian Air Force to build supersonic twin engine interceptor which could defend Canada against Soviet Bombers during the Cold War. With a plant in Milton, Ontario and 14 000 employees, Avro Aircraft Limited built and manufactured ones of the greatest planes in aviation history. The plane was a masterpiece; it flew at nearly mach 2 and had futuristic technologies which would match up to planes from today. The Avro Arrow program turned out to be a huge waste of the effort and money, as it was cancelled less than a year later. There can be many reasons why it was cancelled but the biggest was the immense pressure put on Diefenbaker by President Eisenhower and the United States Air Force. Other reasons could be because of its huge price tag, a new emerging era of anti-aircraft technologies, or the fact that it had many little flaws in its design. Terminating the Avro Arrow program was the right and smarter thing to do by Prime Minister John Diefenbaker and his Conservative Government.…

    The first problem with the JLTV is the cost. Although, DOD has not been public with a definitive cost because it is too early in the development process. The FY2011 Budget Request for JLTVs is $172.1 million for Army Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) and $71.8 million for Marine Corps RDT&E, for a program total of $243.9 million. However, some analysts suggest that the JLTV program will cost well over $10 billion and possibly as much as $30 to $70 billion, depending on the final cost of the vehicles and the number procured. Currently, the cost per unit is estimated at about $320,000 per vehicle, a figure that the Marines believe is too high. While some consider this cost high, an up-armored HMMWV with a fragmentation kit costs around $200,000, a MRAP costs between $430,000 to $900,000 and the M-ATV, about $1.4 million with special equipment and vehicle transportation costs factored in.…

    Air Defense Artillery systems utilized during the Vietnam War era had more to do on the battlefields other than protect air bases. These weapons served as a geographical benefit because of the heavy firepower they would deliver in times of serious land warfare. The variety of missions executed determined the methods of how Air Defense Artillery systems deployed. A battery size element would rarely stay together operating as a whole unit even if a brigade that gives support tries to maintain overall control. Sometimes these artillery units assisted battalions or companies as well. Whether at the platoon or squad level, Air Defense Artillery sections helped protect armor, field artillery, infantry units, and airfields. Although designated mainly for air defense missions, these weapon systems also had a role for indirect fire and direct fire. Instead, these deadly systems: the M163 Vulcan, M42A1 Skysweeper, and MIM23 HAWK top emphasis was on ground threats and attacks throughout the Vietnam War period. Each of these weapons is unique in their own way capable of doing mass amounts of damage to incoming above ground or ground attacks.…

    The Air Force, specifically Air Education and Training Command (AETC), as responsible agency, did all the training and delivered airman capable of performing basic space operations. However, today AETC perform only undergraduate space training of space operators in a generic sense. Importance of the experts of the space operations was evident during the OIF. One of the planning factors in conducting operations in Fallujah was to minimize collateral damage, which was done using precise attacks aided by Global Positioning System (GPS). Additionally, electronic warfare to jam enemy communications was conducted to degrade adversary command and control capabilities. Although senior officers and planners are aware of the space capabilities and its advantages, with day-to-day decisions struggle, it is not always on their minds. Moreover, since Director of Space Forces (DIRSPACEFOR) reports directly to the CFACC there is no inherent or implied authority over Joint Forces. Thus, DIRSPACEFOR has no directive authority over the assigned space forces, to include space personnel assigned to the Operations Division within the…

    C-130

    Over 40 different variants of the C-130 were made, making it one of the most versatile transport planes in history (MotoArt, 2009). The system was built with speedy loading and unloading in mind. It also was designed with low ramp access in mind with the ramp at rear being about level to a typical truck bed. The system maintains STOL capabilities which make it ideal in the forward operating environment where transportation of supplies, personnel and vehicles is essential (Writer, 2010). The C-130 Hercules primarily performs the tactical portion of the airlift mission. The aircraft is capable of operating from rough, dirt strips and is the prime transport for air dropping troops and equipment into hostile areas. It operates throughout the U.S. Air Force, serving with Air Mobility Command, Air Force Special Operations Command, theater commands, Air National Guard and the Air Force Reserve Command, fulfilling a wide range of…

This edge came in the way of aerial combat support for the troops on the ground. As the technology improved, the design, strength, and functionality of combat aircraft has improved. From the P-40 Warhawk, to the P-51 Mustang, to the F-4 Phantom, to the F-14 Tomcat, F-15 Strike Eagle, and F-16 Viper, the technology improved time and again, making air superiority a key part of American warfare.…

Lemay, then commander of the United States Air Forces in Europe (USAFE), when asked by General Lucius Clay, the U.S. Military Governor of Germany, could he haul supplies to Berlin. Little did General Lemay know that he was about to embark on one of the most massive and dynamic airlift operations ever conducted. Faced with the choice of abandoning the city or supplying the city’s residents with life’s necessities by air, the Western Powers chose the latter course and for the next eleven months sustained the city 's two and a half million residents in one of the greatest feats in aviation history.…
