In fact, there are applications in which this is already done, the most prominent being bomb disposal and mine clearing. The user testing of new technology is part of achieving similar benefits for other tasks. Methods for use need to be explored, technical solutions have to be trialed, and advantages gained must be compared to the loads imposed in order to guide future development and to determine if the new tools are ready to be deployed. This thesis has performed such feasibility tests on robots within Military Operations in Urban Terrain (MOUT). The aim has been to gain a comprehensive view of a potential user and to embed a robot amongst them in order to assess its tactical feasibility and evaluate its technical performance. An army company specialized in urban operations made up the primary user group and an iRobot Packbot Scout was the robot system in focus.

  • ICV20 A-Intro Stolt.Pub
    Marcia Vexillum — vexillology and military marches Lars C. Stolt Vexillology and military music have many points in common. The military banners and colours being the visual signs in the battle field correspond to the audible signs repre- sented by the regimental calls and marches. The military marches have often established a connection with vexillological items as flags, banners and colours to the mutual advan- tage. Music instruments like bugles, trumpets and kettle drums are often provided with banners, and march titles often refer to flags and colours and their symbolic values. The internationally best known example of a march with flag connection is The Stars and Stripes forever. It was written by the American ‘march king’ John Philip Sousa, returning from Europe 1896 in the ship Teutonic. The march was born of home- sickness and conceived during Sousa's journey home. David Wallis Reeves, by Sousa called ‘The father of band music in America’, wrote in 1880 his Flag March, based on ‘The Star Spangled Banner’. Further American flag marches are Flag of America (George Rosenkrans), Flag of freedom (Frank Pan- ella), Flag of Victory (Paul Yoder), Under the Stars and Stripes (Frank H Losey) and Under One Flag (Annibale Buglione). The rich German march world presents many flag marches. The German ‘march king’ Hermann Ludwig Blankenburg offers several: Mit der Siegesbanner, Mit Parade- flaggen, Unter dem Friedensbanner, Unter Freudensfahnen, Unter Kaisers Fahnen, Unter Preussens Fahne and Unter siegenden Fahnen. Other German flag marches ema- nate from the well known composer Franz von Blon: Mit Standarten, Unter dem Sieges- banner and Flaggen-Marsch, the last mentioned having a title in the United States with another, more specific meaning: Under One Flag.

  • HOLGER ERIKSSON Catalog 2012 HOLGER ERIKSSON the ”GRAND MASTER” of SWEDISH MINIATURE FIGURES
    HOLGER ERIKSSON Catalog 2012 HOLGER ERIKSSON THE ”GRAND MASTER” OF SWEDISH MINIATURE FIGURES Holger Eriksson cast his first miniature figure in 1934, an event that became the start of a unique artistic career. The figure was produced entirely by him, from sketch to modelling, mould, casting and cleaning to painting. Holger Eriksson was born in 1899, in the village of Bolhyttan, Sweden. The family moved to the town of Filipstad in 1901, were he later went to school. At the age of fifteen he was employed as an errand-boy at a drawing office and advanced to draughtsman. In 1929 he moved to Karlstad, to become a designer and drawing office manager. He had had an interest in miniature figures ever since he was a young boy. But it wasn’t playing with tin-soldiers that fascinated him, it was rather the small sized sculpturing. Already in his childhood and youth he drew horses, in motion or resting, with or without riders. The riders were mostly soldiers and they naturally had as correct a uniform as possible. An interest in uniforms, and later regimental history, was awakened. National service in the garrison town of Boden, where most of the army’s arms were represented, gave rich opportunities for detailed studies. About 1925, Holger Eriksson started to sculpt in wood. He carved horses, cowboys and indians, camel riders, knights, foot soldiers and a field gun, all in 54 mm. Later, the idea of casting figures matured and he cast the first figure with the initials HE on the base, as already mentioned, in 1934.

  • Merchants of War: Mercenaries, Economy, and Society in the Late Sixteenth-Century Baltic
    Merchants of War: Mercenaries, Economy, and Society in the Late Sixteenth-Century Baltic by Joseph Thomas Chatto Sproule A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto © Copyright by Joseph Thomas Chatto Sproule 2019 Merchants of War: Mercenaries, Economy, and Society in the Late Sixteenth-Century Baltic Joseph Thomas Chatto Sproule Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto 2019 Abstract The polities of the sixteenth-century Baltic competed and cooperated with one another and with local power groups in fluctuating patterns of rivalry and expedient partnership. Mercenarism thrived in this context, as early modern governments were seldom equipped with the fiscal and logistical tools or the domestic military resources needed to wholly meet the escalating challenges of warfare, while mercenaries themselves were drawn to a chaotic environment that afforded opportunities for monetary gain and promotion into the still- coalescing political elites of the region’s emerging powers. This study sits, like the mercenary himself, at the intersection of the military, the economic, the social, and the political. Broadly, it is an analysis of mercenaries in Livonian and Swedish service during the so-called Livonian War of 1558 to 1583. Mercenaries are examined as agents of the polities for whom they fought and as actors with goals of their own, ambiguously positioned figures whose outsider status and relative independence presented both opportunities and challenges as they navigated the shifting networks of conflict and allegiance that characterized their fractious world. The aims of this study are threefold. The military efficacy of Western and Central European professional soldiers is assessed in an Eastern ii European context, problematizing the notion of Western military superiority in a time of alleged military revolution.

DRAFT VERSION Warrior Values in Carolean Society – Role of fighting in the Worldview of Early- Eighteenth-Century Swedish Officers Ville Sarkamo1 Introduction – Honour and Role of Fighting Honour through participating in war, fighting and battles were important parts of societies and culture in Early Modern Europe. From the point of history of mentalities wars were most important to the world-views of military personel in the Swedish case, officers of the Carolean army (karoliner). During the Great Northern War (1700–1721) Charles XII had led the main Swedish forces to victory after victory. Many of his men were part of a proud victorious army with highly militaristic ideals. This all ended after a disastrous battle of Poltava 1709. Thirty thousand Swedes ended up as prisoners of war in distant Russia after a humiliating parade in Moscow. For the next twelve years, they languished in captivity and were joined by even more prisoners from the Baltic provinces and Finland.2 The glory of the victorious army was past, but the role of honour was still present in contemporary in societies, but now in a new harsh manner.

  • The Royal House of Denmark 2008 Summary the 2008 Annual Report for the Royal House of Denmark Is the Fifth Since 2004
    Annual report | The Royal House of Denmark 2008 Summary The 2008 annual report for the Royal House of Denmark is the fifth since 2004. Reflecting the Court’s desire to keep the public informed, the report describes the duties and functions of the Danish Monarchy, key events during the year, and selected themes relating to The Royal Family. The themes in this year’s report spotlight The Royal Family’s work to promote Danish industry and culture internationally, the New Year levees, and the tradition of inscribing signatures on the windows of Fredensborg Palace. During 2008 members of The Royal Family undertook numerous official visits abroad, spearhead- ing industrial and cultural campaigns focused on Denmark, or helping to raise awareness of humanitarian organisations for which they are patrons. The Queen and The Prince Consort performed two state visits, one early in 2008 to Mexico, and one late in the year to Tanzania. At home in Denmark, The Royal Family made three summer cruises by the Royal Yacht Dannebrog, two with The Queen and The Prince Consort on board, the third with The Crown Prince and The Crown Princess accompanied by their children Prince Christian and Princess Isabella. The major family event in 2008 was the occasion of the wedding of Prince Joachim and Princess Marie on 24th May. The ceremony, which took place in Møgeltønder Church, was followed at close hand by several thousand people, including some 500 representatives of the Danish and international press. A private celebration was held afterwards in Schackenborg Castle. In spring 2008 a new three-year agreement was established between the Court and the Association of Court Employees.

    The Provisioning of the Military Construction Sampsa Hatakka Workers of Sveaborg 1747– 1752: The Magazine Supply System in Peacetime The topic of this article is how a system to produce and supply foodstuffs, espe- cially bread, to soldiers was developed and maintained by the military authorities in Finland in the middle of the eighteenth century. I shall show how this supply system enabled the authorities to provide food for thousands of soldiers engaged in building the fortress of Sveaborg outside Helsinki (Helsingfors in Swedish), which at the time was a small town of 1,500 inhabitants. The fortress of Sveaborg was part of Sweden’s military strategy that was developed after the great losses she had experienced against Russia in the first half of the century. The fortress was built in many phases over the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and it was a large construction site for decades. In this study the focus is on the first con- struction phase of 1748–1756. The systematic studying of military logistics in the early modern period be- gan in the 1970s. Since then much interesting work has been done concerning logistics and war. In these studies the focus has mainly been on times of war. Dur- ing the European wars of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries tens or even hundreds of thousands of soldiers had to be fed and supplied throughout long military campaigns. The strain on the land was enormous and the management of logistical problems could often decide the outcome of the whole campaign.1 However, by studying only times of war, the importance of peacetime supply sys- tems can be forgotten, or at least not enough emphasized.
