Moreover, the rst Croatian unit in general to be deployed to a peace mission was a MP unit (Platoon). The Corps has also left a lasting trace in the establishment of the Afghan police and the Army. The Monograph “Military Police Corps –Building and Keeping the Peace“, published by the Croatian Military Publications Department represents a cross-cut of the Corps’ operation in-country and in international operations, richly illustrated and covering all segments of MP mission.

No part of this publication may be reproduced without the written permission of Cranfield University and without acknowledging that it may contain copyright material owned by MBDA UK Limited. i ii ABSTRACT When considering advances in “smart” weapons it is clear that air-launched systems have adopted an integrated approach to meet rigorous requirements, whereas air-defence systems have not. The demands on sensors, state observation, missile guidance, and simulation for air-defence is the subject of this research. Historical reviews for each topic, justification of favoured techniques and algorithms are provided, using a nomenclature developed to unify these disciplines. Sensors selected for their enduring impact on future systems are described and simulation models provided. Complex internal systems are reduced to simpler models capable of replicating dominant features, particularly those that adversely effect state observers. Of the state observer architectures considered, a distributed system comprising ground based target and own-missile tracking, data up-link, and on-board missile measurement and track fusion is the natural choice for air-defence. An IMM is used to process radar measurements, combining the estimates from filters with different target dynamics. The remote missile state observer combines up-linked target tracks and missile plots with IMU and seeker data to provide optimal guidance information.

    Pulaski Policy Papers Komentarz Międzynarodowy Pułaskiego ISSN 2080-8852 Warsaw, 07.01.2019 Author: Maciej Szopa Poland’s Air Force to Procure New Fighter Aircraft: the ‘Harpia’ Programme In the aftermath of the political reforms of the late 1980s and the early 1990s, Poland’s policy makers recognised a growing need to procure a new fighter jet aircraft. At the time, the Polish Armed Forces operated only Soviet-built fighter jets of several types such as MiG-21, MiG-23, Su-20 and Su-22 fighter-bombers and a newly introduced MiG-29 fighter. Given the Roughly half of the Polish Air Force consists of prospect of joining the North Atlantic obsolete fighter aircraft which are incapable of Alliance, it seemed obvious that the carrying combat operations or have very Soviet-era jets would have to be limited capabilities. The entire fleet of the gradually replaced with either brand Soviet-era fighters must be replaced in years to new or second-hand aircraft fighters come; therefore the new type of aircraft ought built in the West. As far as the latter one to be selected and procured as soon as is concerned, Poland had several possible opportunities that emerged from the reduction of troops in NATO member countries in the post-Cold War era. Purchasing F-16A/B and F/A-18C/D was one of the options; however, none of these plans had succeeded in introducing new combat aircraft by the end of the 20th century. In 2003, Poland eventually procured 36 F-16C and 12 F- 16D Block 52+ fighters produced by Lockheed Martin.

At the same time, recent agreements for the extension of Russian military basing agreements in Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan have drawn attention to the extent to which Russia is providing military equipment and other forms of security assistance to the region.

  • Slovak Air Force Today
    DUTCH AVIATION SUPPORT Pilot & Airplane August 2003 SLOVAK AIR FORCE TODAY SLOVAK AIR FORCE TODAY Today Slovak Air Force tries to be an updated air force with the aim to be fully compatible with western air forces in the Nato-structure. Although not a member of this organisation yet it hopes to enter the Nato in future after political agreements. Slovakia is integrated in the Partnership for Peace (PfP) exercises and is eager to learn expertise from the other participants, especially the western counterparts in Europe like in the recently Cooperative Key exercises at St. Dizier air base in France. This exercise comprised actions like medical evacuation and CSAR (Combat Search and Rescue) under cooperation of United Nations flag in peacekeepingoperations. Already before the Slovak air Force was requested to join UN-operations and stationed 2 Mi-17 helicopters in Banja Luka, Bosnia until replaced by a Czech unit. The inventory of the Slovak Air Force consist of aircraft made in Russia or former Czechoslovakia. Also the structure of the air force inherited at the time the Czech Republic and Slovakia split up in 1993 was of the typical Russian Air Regiments. Slovakia then faced a modernisation period with transfer of squadrons, disbandment of squadrons and withdrawal of some aircraft from active duty. The structure was transformed to western-style Air Wings and aircraft were to be integrated in western Air Operationalability Procedures. Therefore money was reserved to change and improve the avionics of the planes to western standards (for example from Glonass satellite navigation to GPS). This proces is still under progress, yet not fully implemented and compatability is still limited (aircraft are partly Nato-standards and partly ICAO-standards) but this aspect will get the attention it needs in future.
