  • Goatsucker: Toward a Spatial Theory of State Secrecy
    Environment and Planning D: Society and Space 2010, volume 28, pages 759 ^ 771 doi:10.1068/d5308 Goatsucker: toward a spatial theory of state secrecy Trevor Paglen Department of Geography, University of California at Berkeley, 507 McCone Hall #4740, Berkeley, CA 94720, USA; e-mail: [email protected] Received 1 May 2008; in revised form 6 April 2010 Abstract. While the question of state secrecy has become a topic of much political debate, relatively little attention has been paid to the topic in academic literature. Most of the literature adopts one of several frameworks. In the legal literature, state secrecy has been examined as a historical and constitutional question. Social scientists have tended to follow Weber in examining secrecy as a question of regulation and bureaucracy or have focused on the cultural play of visibility and invisi- bility that is often characteristic of state secrecy. This paper, by way of contrast, uses the development of the F-117A `stealth fighter' as a case study to give a spatial account of secrecy. I show how state secrecy gives rise to numerous spatial, political, juridical, and even ecological contradictions and propose that a spatial understanding of state secrecy foregrounding these contradictions provides a fruitful basis for a deeper understanding of state secrecy. Late one night during the summer of 1984, two fighter pilots saw a ghost in the sky above Las Vegas. A single two-seat F-16 `Viper' fighter was on a routine flight over the city that night, its pilots alternating between watching instruments, checking in with ground controllers, and scanning the skies above.

This paper reviews the background and need for the air system. It summarizes the environment, objectives, approach, and results of each of three distinct development phases, and highlights some of the most significant challenges encountered and solutions achieved. It also covers initial production and sustainment achievements in parallel. Despite the ambitious goals and numerous challenges, the development program is drawing to a close, and a system is now being produced and sustained that meets its customers’ warfighting requirements. I. Background HE origins of the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) program can be traced to the longstanding commitment of the U.S. T Marine Corps (USMC) and United Kingdom (UK) Royal Air Force (RAF) and Royal Navy (RN) to develop a short takeoff and vertical landing (STOVL) strike fighter, and to the end of the Cold War. Drastic defense budget reductions after the Cold War, together with aging fleets of fighter aircraft in the United States and across the west, demanded a new level of cooperation in development and production.

    Naval Aviation Firsts Leading the way in Innovation Ski-Jump In the 1970s Lt Cdr Doug Taylor invented the ‘Ski-Jump’. This upwards curving ramp at the forward end of the flight deck ensures that the aircraft is launched on an upward trajectory giving considerable performance gains, including much greater payload and range, than a corresponding flat deck, short take-off. The early trials proved so successful that the Ski-Jump was incorporated into the design of HMS Hermes and the Invincible ClassSRVL carriers. royalnavy.mod.uk/flynavy100 Shipborne Rolling Vertical Landing 1909 - 2009 ryyhrvtuurhv p hsvr hpvuhuvyhqvtr H8 EvFUuh qrpxhquhth VTHh vrG8yA rqTpurx rvurA"$7hsr yhqvtv Uursv yhqvtPp"hqrq vtvprrhur hqrh urVTTXhTpurxuhirr pqvvpup vqhqhrhqqrpxvuyruh vtur: $vyyvwr qrt rrvpuhq$qrt rrs yyPr urrsrrrxTpurxsyr u tuvhpr vvp rhvtyyrsh hiyrpqvvs urVTTXhh huvivhhyuvirphryvhryvyvyyirhxvtsshq yhqvtvhyyxvqsrhur hqrh Uursv hrhr vphyyhqvthr vpxyTpurxhvq /Dh rhyywsprquuryhrhqvtuvh uhqyvthqwrqrrvtuhhyyuvvurprhhq uhvtyhqv/hvqTpurxurh ryvrvXuvrGhxr /Duvxuhvvvyr ihiyrhvr yhqurhyyuv qvthr vphyyhqvtuhqvthivtuvyhqvtvuhhvyux/ Tpurxhqqrq/Dvyy rrpvvthqrhvvqhv hq hxrhyxhuruvhqp s r urhr ursyvtuqrpx hqi vtvqyhq/ Uu rrr vsurA"$h rqr tvtrvts ur6v A pr Hh vrhqIh8hhiyrsu hxrsshqr vphyyhqvtur A"$7vyy ryhprHh vr6W'7Ch vr hqA 'C rhqv qrvtrqirrqhuvivuvhqhv svryqv s Hh vrt qs prUurA"$6vyyirrqiur6v A prs prvhyhxrsshqyhqvthqurIhvyysyurA"$8 uvpusrh ryh tr vt shprhq rvs prqyhqvttrh vuhqhv p hsph vr yhpur Av hrhr vphyyhqvts UurA"$7 vprhtv tuy: $vyyvvpyqvtqrryr

Cdr http://navy-matters.beedall. Scrubbed/ Lison explains: "We determined from the CFD mod- DELETED elling that the legacy JBD did not offer adequate com/cvf1-01.htm protection. Alternative designs were considered which offered some benefit, but two considerations persuaded us to delete the requirement. "First, the nozzle scheduling of the F-35B on take-off has yet to be fully established, and there was a risk that the jet blast would simply 'bounce' over the JBD. Second, the JBD was in a single fixed position on the flight deck, so there was no flexibil- ity with regard to the length of the take-off run."...” 11-Dec-2008 International Defence Review http://militarynuts.com/index.php?showtopic=1507&st=120 “...BF-1 accomplished the first F-35 five Creeping Vertical Landings (CVLs) on August 23....” F-35 Lightning II Program Status and Fast Facts September 5, 2012 http://f-35.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/F-35-Fast-Facts-September-5-2012.pdf http://navy-matters.beedall.com/cvfimages/cvf-model-oct04-1.jpg https://www.hpc.mil/images/hpcdocs/newsroom/ugc_2011_proceedings_small.pdf
