Beginning with the principles of rocketry from early time to the present, Erik Bergaust classifies all forty-two current operational missiles into four basic categories : air-to-air ; air-to-surface ; surface- to-air; and surface-to-surface. From the Navy's highly sophisticated Polaris to the Sidewinder, widely used in Vietnam, the author pinpoints the type, propulsion, guid- ance, performance, and construction of each rocket. A picture and a short paragraph describing each rocket's military use, plus a glossary, are included. Inspection of liquid hydrogen engines. Hydro- gen is a powerful fuel and is often used in combination with liquid oxygen. Fuels are car- ried in the missile in separate tanks and are mixed in the rocket's combustion chamber where the burning takes place. / Bell ROCKETS of the ARMED FORCES By Erik Bergaust 76 6. P.

Desind Finding
NATIONAL AIR AND SPACE ARCHIVES Herbert Stephen Desind Collection Accession No. 1997-0014 NASM 9A00657 National Air and Space Museum Smithsonian Institution Washington, DC Brian D. Nicklas © Smithsonian Institution, 2003 NASM Archives Desind Collection 1997-0014 Herbert Stephen Desind Collection 109 Cubic Feet, 305 Boxes Biographical Note Herbert Stephen Desind was a Washington, DC area native born on January 15, 1945, raised in Silver Spring, Maryland and educated at the University of Maryland. He obtained his BA degree in Communications at Maryland in 1967, and began working in the local public schools as a science teacher. At the time of his death, in October 1992, he was a high school teacher and a freelance writer/lecturer on spaceflight. Desind also was an avid model rocketeer, specializing in using the Estes Cineroc, a model rocket with an 8mm movie camera mounted in the nose. To many members of the National Association of Rocketry (NAR), he was known as “Mr. Cineroc.” His extensive requests worldwide for information and photographs of rocketry programs even led to a visit from FBI agents who asked him about the nature of his activities. Mr. Desind used the collection to support his writings in NAR publications, and his building scale model rockets for NAR competitions. Desind also used the material in the classroom, and in promoting model rocket clubs to foster an interest in spaceflight among his students. Desind entered the NASA Teacher in Space program in 1985, but it is not clear how far along his submission rose in the selection process. He was not a semi-finalist, although he had a strong application. -

Australian Defence Procurement
Bellany and James L Richardson Australian Defence Procurement f This is the first study ever undertaken of the policies of Australian governments towards the acquisition of weapons for the armed forces. The growth of the Australian defence budget in recent years and the burgeoning cost and complexity of modern armaments have made this subject of considerable interest, not only to those who plan and carry out the policies, but to all concerned as to how a large slice of national income is being spent. The study covers the period from the early fifties to the present day, but naturally lays emphasis on the much expanded defence purchases of recent years, including the F-111. Future prospects are examined and, in particular, there is a discussion of the chances for success of the new philosophy of greater Australian self-sufficiency in defence materiel. The tables of expenditure collate for the first time figures derived from a variety of published sources, some rather obscure, in an attempt to present a detailed continuous picture of the shape of Australian defence spending. Ian Bellany is the author of several articles on strategy, defence, and nuclear matters. Before joining the Department of International Rela tions at the Australian National University he was a member of the British Foreign Office concerned with problems of disarmament and arms control. He is soon to take up an appointment with the University of Lancaster. James Richardson is a graduate of Sydney and Oxford Universities. He has worked in the Center for International Affairs, Harvard, and in the British Foreign Office, and is at present Senior Lecturer in the Department of Government, University of Sydney. -

The CIBEL-2K is similar in appearance to the Mathogo, but uses a semi-automatic command to the line of sight (SACLOS) guidance system, which makes the missile much easier to guide than the Mathogo. The CIBEL-2K is guided by an infrared beam rather than wires; this allows the missile to fly faster, and it can be fired over water (unlike most wire-guided missiles). The guidance system includes a counter- countermeasure system that makes the CIBEL-2K less vulnerable to IR countermeasures and interference. The missiles are fired from a box launcher; these are connected to the guidance unit used by the gunner by wires, and the operator may be connected to as many as 12 launcher boxes (though he may guide only one at a time). The operator may be as far as 50 meters from any individual missile. An image intensifier or a thermal imager may be connected to the guidance optics, though such night vision devices must be of standard NATO or Israeli-compatible types. This missile, unfortunately, fell victim to budget cuts.

The last decade has been a particularly turbulent period for South-east Asian countries, resulting in rising military expenditures and expanding arsenals within the region. Despite the ending of the war in Indo-China powerful pressures remain that are likely to provoke a continued rapid expansion of the armed forces in the region. This paper attempts to identify the more important forces working in this direction and suggests a modest scheme which the countries of the region could implement to counter the influence of some of them. The main objective of this proposal is to moderate the rate of increase in military expenditure and thus minimise the constraints that this expenditure will place on economic and social development in the future.
