Twenty-three of the more than 100 Canadian pilots credited with taking part in the battle were killed, including three with No. 1 Squadron. Historians love to argue about the significance of past events and the Battle of On the third Sunday in September we commemorate the Battle of Britain. We Britain is no exception. acknowledge the sacrifices and remind new generations of Canadians when great But there is general agreement that preventing the Luftwaffe from gaining demands were made of a gallant few. control of the skies over England led to the cancellation of the planned invasion and For the RCAF, “the few” are symbols of the ethos of “service before self’ and that it was the first serious defeat of German forces in the Second World War. although they are gone they will never be forgotten. Was the loss of almost 2,700 experienced aircrew and more than 1,700 aircraft the first step in the ultimate destruction of the Luftwaffe? Did the cancellation of the invasion spur Hitler to turn his eyes eastward, to his eventual invasion of the Soviet Union? Was the British victory key to securing growing support from the United States? Is the Battle of Britain the ultimate example of victory through air power? For the men and women who lived through the summer and fall of 1940, for the aircrew and groundcrew, and the soldiers who operated the anti-aircraft batteries and the sailors who protected the convoys, there was probably no doubt they had weathered a monumental threat – and yet the war went on. From a Canadian perspective, the Battle of Britain did have an effect on the nation and the Royal Canadian Air Force. Although Canada had declared war on Germany on September 10, 1939, our approach to the war had been cautious. Haunted by memories of the First World War the Mackenzie King government bowed to public pressure by dispatching an expeditionary force to England. However, he was more inclined to focus on air training and home defence. The totality of the German victory in France and the potential conquest of England frightened King and his ministers. Even as discussions began about the evacuation of the Royal Family and the use of Canadian bases for the Royal Navy and British forces to fight on, the government hastily pledged fiscal and military resources far beyond what had been planned.

  • Camouflage Combat Uniform
    CAMOUFLAGE COMBAT UNIFORM COL Robert F. Mortlock, USA (Ret.) The development, testing, and fielding of combat uniforms for soldiers offer acquisition professionals an opportunity to analyze how programs progress through the U.S. defense acquisition system. This case centers on the U.S. Army’s decision to change the camouflage patterns on combat uniforms and equipment for soldiers. The case is broadly applicable to project managers, business managers, engineers, testers, and logisticians involved in project management, while specifically targeting defense acquisition professionals. Emphasis is placed on the development of critical thinking and analysis skills in the areas of stakeholder management, resource management, and decision making in a complex environment. The case is developed in two distinct parts. Part I provides an analysis of the Army’s development of a plan with an increased chance of success in meeting desired objectives.

  • Lieutenant Colonel (Ret’D) Dan Dempsey, Cd
    LIEUTENANT COLONEL (RET’D) DAN DEMPSEY, CD A pilot by profession, Dan Dempsey’s motivation towards an aviation career was fostered by his boyhood fascination watching the RCAF Golden Hawks aerobatic team perform. Born in Hamilton, Ontario to an air force father who worked at Mount Hope, he grew up near RCAF Stations Rockcliffe (Ottawa), Lincoln Park (Calgary) and Namao (Edmonton). His passion for flying led to a 23 year career with the Canadian Forces. A graduate of Royal Roads Military College in Victoria, British Columbia and the Royal Military College of Canada in Kingston, Ontario, he holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Applied Science. Dan earned his private pilot license in 1972 at the Victoria Flying Club while attending Royal Roads and his Air Force wings at CFB Moose Jaw in June 1975. Having subsequently instructed on the CT-114 Tutor for four years, Dan was selected to fly one of the coveted solo positions with the Snowbirds (Snowbird 9) for the 1980-1981 airshow seasons. He then trained on the CF-5 Freedom Fighter and CF-104 Starfighter at Cold Lake, Alberta, subsequently flying the Starfighter with both 439 and 441 Tactical Fighter Squadrons based in Baden-Soellingen, West Germany. Returning to command 431 Air Demonstration Squadron in 1989 and 1990, he was honoured to lead the Snowbirds through their 20th anniversary and 1,000th official performance. A distinguished graduate of the Canadian Forces Command and Staff College in Toronto, Dan was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel following his Snowbird tour and served as Executive Assistant to the Commander Air Command where he was successful in initiating several important air force heritage projects, including the designation of CFBs Bagotville and Cold Lake to 3 and 4 Wings respectively following the closure of Canadian Forces Europe.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Paper deals with the building visual detection problem. Particular buildings which are important to government infrastructure must have additional security means including camouflage painting to disguise from aerial reconnaissance and observation. The approach for computer-generated camouflge pattern design is proposed. The novelty of the proposed method consists of the consideration of the camouflaged building and urban environment fusion effect in description of the multicolor camouflage effectivity. An analytical method for determination of building camouflage effectivity is presented. This method is constructed within the framework of visual detection probabilities. The proposed method is illustrated by the design of the camouflage drawing geometry and determination of the effectivity characteristics for prescribed observation range. Keywords: building, camouflage pattern design, efficiency analysis.

By contrast, what we propose is an active protecting military assets. Current camouflage technologies and multispectral camouflage system, designed to sample spectral approaches are fixed and unchangeable post-manufacture, and signatures of ambient environments and then display an even when designed for terrain-specific environments, remain optimally background-matched pattern to a ‘camouflage array’ limited in their desired effect. We have developed active, of cells affixed on a military platform. Herein we present the multispectral camouflage panels based on conducting polymers that latest stage of the development of the hardware component - provide for visual and Near Infrared (NIR) reflectivity to adapt (in the camouflage panels. real-time) to the ever-changing natural environment. This will furnish the material basis that is fundamental to an automatically II. CATCH ME IF YOU CAN adapting, bespoke camouflage solution for protecting military vehicles and assets. There are several aspects to consider when designing an effective camouflage strategy. Firstly, there is the survivability Keywords—camouflage, active camouflage, multispectral, onion model [1] which defines ‘layers of protection’ in the concealment field from ‘not being there’ (added more recently) to ‘not being seen’ to ‘not being targeted’, etc.
