Doug Chaffee 1936 - 2011 Doug Chaffee, a well-known aviation, science fiction, and game artist, passed away April 26, 2011, at the age of 75. We were fortunate to have one of his pantings grace the cover of Sea of Dragons, but his work appeared on magazine covers, in computer games, and as paintings for many different collectible card games. My favorite was a cover he did for an Origins program, showing the Soviet submarine Red October being attacked by a fire-breathing dragon. I have a print of that painting, autographed by Doug, on my wall. Our deepest condolences go out to his family and friends, who like everyone who saw his work, had their lives enriched by him.

    Submission No 14 Review of the Defence Annual Report 2010 - 2011 Name: Mr Chris Mills Organisation: REPSIM Pty Ltd Joint Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade A SUBMISSION TO THE DEFENCE SUB-COMMITTEE OF THE JOINT STANDING COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN AFFAIRS, DEFENCE AND TRADE THE AUSTRALIAN DEPARTMENT OF DEFENCE: A CULTURE OF INCONGRUENCE BETWEEN POLICY AND PERFORMANCE INTRODUCTION Many of our political representatives may not rate ‘Defence Culture’ highly on their radar of issues-of-concern and problems in the Australian Defence Organisation for the simple reasons that seeking change to improve day-to-day Defence matters has become such an ongoing chore. There seems to be a belief that cultures take a long time to change – well beyond the purview of any sitting Government. This is not necessarily so. This submission is aimed squarely at two targets. Firstly, to demonstrate that the current ‘Defence Culture’ is at the very centre of influencing our future military capability in a way that will deleteriously affect and, prima-facie, threaten Australia’s future security. Secondly, that culture can be changed, and quickly, through simple root cause analysis and the application of standard management practices focused on getting Defence to ‘walk the talk’ of the experience and knowledge based wisdom embedded in its own files and records. ‘Culture’ is a consequence of ‘behaviours’ which in turn are the result of a set of ‘attitudes’. Working inductively, if a defective culture is observed, then it is a reasonable proposition that fraught behaviours have come into vogue from a flawed set of attitudes.

  • Active Electronically Scanned Array - (AESA) Radar
    Generated by Foxit PDF Creator © Foxit Software http://www.foxitsoftware.com For evaluation only. Active Electronically Scanned Array - (AESA) Radar An Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA), is a type of phased array radar whose transmitter and receiver functions are composed of numerous small solid-state transmit/receive (T/R) modules. AESAs aim their "beam" by broadcasting a number of different frequencies of coherent radio energy that interfere constructively at certain angles in front of the antenna. They improve on the older passive electronically scanned radars by spreading their broadcasts out across a band of frequencies, which makes it very difficult to detect over background noise. AESAs allow ships and aircraft to broadcast powerful radar signals while still remaining stealthy GOKULA KRISHNAN S 10/4/2010 Generated by Foxit PDF Creator © Foxit Software http://www.foxitsoftware.com For evaluation only. 2 Active Electronically Scanned Array - (AESA) Radar Department of EEE Contents Abstract …………………………………………………..4 Introduction to AESA-Radars …………………………...5 Need for AESA Radar …………………………………………….7 Evolution Of Radar …………………….…………………………8 Basic principle of operation ……………………………………11 PHASED ARRAY RADAR SYSTEMS ……………………..13 Airborne Surveillance Radar- Active Aperture Development Stages ……………………….15 Phased Array Radars ………………………………………...17 AESA…………………………………………………………….18 Technological Leap …………………………………………….19 Working of AESA ………………………………………………21 Agile Beam Radar Enhances Situational Awareness ………...24 Powerful New Functions Increase

This is a byproduct of in- dustrialisation and growing wealth in Asia, which has seen a spending spree on modern weapons on the scale of the last years of the Cold War. The growth in military capability across Asia is coinciding with a period of strategic overstretch and military equipment block obsolescence in the United States, which will be less able to intervene on Australia’s behalf in coming decades. Many Defence planning assumptions held for decades are no longer true, due to the rapid influx of advanced Russian and other weapons technologies. Future warning times will be short, regional capabilities to operate and support modern weapons will be much better, many regional nations will be able to strike over long distances, and much of the technology acquired from Russia now matches or outperforms most US and EU supplied military equipment. A wide range of advanced weapons are now in service or being procured across the region.

Currently, many are suffering from the effects of the coronavirusa, from images of police violence and race riots in the US, and from the clumsy reactions of US President Donald Trump. They hope that after these events everything will be different: Covid-19 brings about a change in thinking, the mass protests Photo: MRV archive against racism lead to police reform, and Trump is voted out of office for failure. It may happen. But it might not happen. Experience with earlier dynamics, which at the time were perceived as major cataclysms, urge caution. Even if all three hopes were to be fulfilled, US policy towards Europe and the world would probably not change fundamentally. Certainly, all three developments can bring about change.

This document was widely circulated in Air Force and Defence, and very favourable feedback was received at that time from a number of senior Air Force officers. Its existence accords with the Howard Government’s ’Defence Industry Strategic Policy’ initiative seeking Industry and Academia assistance in the development of Australian defence policy and capa- bilities, an initiative most visible in the highly successful public consultation process that underpinned the Defence 2000 White Paper. The 1998 submission was the first major effort in Australia to quantify the scale of change arising across the wider region as a result of the influx of Russian weapons technology. It also provided an overview and summary of the changes arising from rapid technological evolution, especially as a result of developments in stealth, sensor and guided weapons technology.
