Download or read book The Eyes of the Fleet: An Analysis of the E-2C Aircraft Acquisition Options written by and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The E-2C Hawkeye is the U.S. Navy's all-weather, carrier-based airborne early-warning (AEW) aircraft. Additional missions for which the E-2C is used include surface surveillance coordination, strike and interceptor control, search and rescue guidance, and communication relay. It is an integral component of the carrier air wing. The basic E-2C model is a relatively old design, having joined the fleet in the early 1970s. However, it has been improved several times, and the most current version, the Hawkeye 2000 (HE2000) now in production, represents the fifth E-2C model. The current production model adds a sensor networking system known as cooperative engagement capability (CEC), which provides all members of the network (ideally all members of the carrier battle group) with a real-time combined radar/identification friend or foe (IFF) picture of the tactical air environment. Northrop Grumman Corporation (NGC) is under contract to deliver 21 of these aircraft to the Navy. The first of these aircraft was delivered in October 2001, and the final one is scheduled to arrive in 2006.

Ranging from ancient times to the war in Iraq, it offers over 300 alphabetically organized entries covering many methods and modes of transmitting communication through the centuries, as well as key personalities, organizations, strategic applications, and more. Military Communications includes examples from armed forces around the world, with a focus on the United States, where many of the most dramatic advances in communications technology and techniques were realized. A number of entries focus on specific battles where communications superiority helped turn the tide, including Tsushima (1905), Tannenberg and the Marne (both 1914), Jutland (1916), and Midway (1942). The book also addresses a range of related topics such as codebreaking, propaganda, and the development of civilian telecommunications.
Book Synopsis A Cognitive Approach to Situation Awareness: Theory and Application by : Sébastien Tremblay
Download or read book A Cognitive Approach to Situation Awareness: Theory and Application written by Sébastien Tremblay and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of 'situation awareness' (SA) in assessing and predicting operator competence in complex environments has become increasingly apparent in recent years. It has been widely established that SA is a contributing factor to many commercial and military accidents and incidents. Yet determining exactly what constitutes SA is a very difficult task, given the complexity of the construct itself, and the many different processes involved with its acquisition and maintenance. This volume brings together recent developments from researchers and practitioners from around the world who are studying and applying SA from a cognitive perspective. The 41 contributors represent many different theoretical perspectives, research approaches and domains of application. Each chapter has a primary emphasis around one of three main topics - theory, measurement and application and examines the considerable inter-linkage between them. To bring further coherence to the book, all of the contributors received draft manuscripts of those chapters most relevant to their own. Designed to be completely international and interdisciplinary, the authors themselves present varied perspectives from academic departments and industrial organisations from around the world, and from broad applications - with contributions from researchers in the domains of process control, sport, aviation, transportation, and command and control. The readership includes practitioners, academics and researchers within human factors, ergonomics and industrial psychology; Graduate and Undergraduate students specialising within these areas during their final year.

Book Synopsis Network Centric Warfare and Coalition Operations by : Paul T. Mitchell
Download or read book Network Centric Warfare and Coalition Operations written by Paul T. Mitchell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-02-05 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues that Network Centric Warfare (NCW) influences how developed militaries operate in the same fashion that an operating system influences the development of computer software. It examines three inter-related issues: the overwhelming military power of the United States; the growing influence of NCW on military thinking; and the centrality of coalition operations in modern military endeavours. Irrespective of terrorist threats and local insurgencies, the present international structure is remarkably stable - none of the major powers seeks to alter the system from its present liberal character, as demonstrated by the lack of a military response to US military primacy. This primacy privileges the American military doctrine and thus the importance of NCW, which promises a future of rapid, precise, and highly efficient operations, but also a future predicated on the ‘digitization’ of the battle space. Participation in future American-led military endeavours will require coalition partners to be networked: ‘interoperability’ will therefore be a key consideration of a partner’s strategic worth. Network Centric Warfare and Coalition Operations will be of great interest to students of strategic studies, international security, US foreign policy and international relations in general.

Book Synopsis War and the Arc of Human Experience by : Glenn Petersen
Download or read book War and the Arc of Human Experience written by Glenn Petersen and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-05-20 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Glenn Petersen flew seventy combat missions in Vietnam when he was nineteen, launching from an aircraft carrier in the Tonkin Gulf. He’d sought out the weighty responsibilities and hazardous work. But why? What did the cultural architecture of the society he grew up in have to do with the way he went to war? In this book he looks at the war from an anthropological perspective because that’s how he’s made his living in all the subsequent years: it’s how he sees the world. While anthropologists write about the military and war these days, they do so from the perspective of researchers. What makes this a fully original contribution is that Petersen brings to the page the classic methodology of ethnographers, participant observation—a kind of total immersion. He writes from the dual perspectives of an insider and a researcher and seeks in the specifics of lived experience some larger conclusions about humans’ social lives in general. Petersen was long oblivious to what had happened to him in Vietnam and he fears that young men and women who’ve been fighting the US military’s wars in Afghanistan and Iraq might be similarly unaware of what’s happened to them. Skills that allowed him to survive in combat, in particular his ability to focus tightly on the challenges directly in front of him, seemed to transfer well to life after war. The same intensity led him to a successful academic career, including the time he represented the Micronesian islands at the United Nations;how could anything be wrong? Then surreptitiously,the danger, the stress, and the trauma he’d hidden away broke through a brittle shell and the war came spilling out. As an anthropologist he sees in this a classic pattern: an adaptation to one set of conditions is put to a new and practical use when conditions change, but in time what had once been beneficial turns into maladaptive behavior. In writing about why we fight, he shed lights on what the fighting does to us.
