atmosphere of the US in the late 1960s would have been very different. Advancements in both weapons and technology were made during the Vietnam War‚ including upgrade to the M16 as the main infantry weapon over the M14 and increased use of F-105s with radar waves to identify targets with exact precision‚ known as “Wild Weasel”‚ it is the use of Agent Orange which everyone remembers and associates with the Vietnam War. Agent Orange‚ a chemical defoliant‚ was used by US forces to destroy ground cover

In 1966‚ the United States Air Force needed a new long range tactical superiority fighter to replace the aging F-4 Phantom aircraft used during Vietnam. One of the requirements was that it needed to have twin engines‚ internal gun and advance radar. McDonnell Douglas aircraft manufacture had won the competition and was awarded the contract. The first F-15 made its maiden flight on 27 July‚ 1972. Its large wing design gives the F-15 low wing loading and allowing the great agility during

INTRODUCTION TO AIR DEFENCE ARTILLERY (ADA) INTRODUCTION 1. In the modern battlefield‚ air power is considered as a significant component of warfare. In modern war the first phase of air battle starts with the massive air attack to gain air superiority and the subsequent phase of attack will commence against the manoeuvre forces and their supporting elements. The aim of the second phase of attack would be to shape the battle field by isolating and reducing the ability of manoeuvre forces for

the man hours quickly added up. All of these hours were in addition to my actual tracked hours working on ET equipment such as the Radar and communication suits on board. This also becomes a manpower issue. While on the topic of Radar‚ all the new navigation systems being installed on board ships are either mostly or in part ran by a computer. The next time a Radar system has a failure you are more likely to hear the ITs piped to the bridge in addition to the ETs. We can eliminate this by properly

An automatic focus camera is able to focus on objects by use of an ultrasonic sound wave. The camera sends out sound waves that reflect off distant objects and return to the camera. A sensor detects the time it takes for the waves to return and then determines the distance an object is from the camera. The camera lens then

Why use the word “Filter”? The process of finding the “best estimate” from noisy data amounts to “filtering out” the noise. However a Kalman filter also doesn’t just clean
