Modern Combat Aircraft (1945 – 2010)
I MODERN COMBAT AIRCRAFT (1945 – 2010) Modern Combat Aircraft (1945-2010) is a brief overview of the most famous military aircraft developed by the end of World War II until now. Fixed-wing airplanes and helicopters are presented by the role fulfilled, by the nation of origin (manufacturer), and year of first flight. For each aircraft is available a photo, a brief introduction, and information about its development, design and operational life. The work is made using English Wikipedia, but also other Web sites.

REPSIM Pty Ltd
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. -

Integrated modular avionics Stand A2.3 To organisers, participants and guests of Aero India 2015 international air show Dear colleagues and friends! On behalf of Rosoboronexport JSC, the only Russian Federation governmental intermediary for export of military and dual-use products, technologies and services, I am greeting and congratulating you on the opening of the 10th Aero India International Show on Aerospace, Defence, Civil Aviation, Airport Infrastructure and Defence Engineering (Aero India 2015). Since its inception, the show in Bengaluru has become a major international venue dedicated to air force armament and other materiel, equipment for commercial aircraft and rocket and space industry, and air defence assets. The innovative nature of Aero India enables its participants to display the intellectual and production capabilities of their nations’ defence industries and its guests to be impressed with the breathtaking aerobatics performed by military aces at Air Force Station Yelahanka. Rosoboronexport is a long-time participant of the air show in Bengaluru. Our cooperation with India is based on due account of the most promising lines of development and expansion of the military technical cooperation that has evolved into strategic partnership a long time ago. A case in point is the joint work of Indian and Russian specialists Anatoly Isaikin, under key aircraft programmes on the development of Director General, Rosoboronexport JSC a multirole medium-range transport plane and a fi fth- generation fi ghter. -

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 -

Carlo Kopp, BE(Hons), MSc, PhD, PEng Defence Analyst, Melbourne, Australia Email: [email protected] c 2000, Carlo Kopp 2/86 Summary Audit Report No.40 1999-2000, Tactical Fighter Operations, Section 5.22 states that Defence decided to upgrade the F/A-18A as an interim measure until a suitable new technology fighter becomes available. This submission will show that ongoing trends and recent developments in regional air and missile capability growth support the case made by Defence. Therefore: 1. The replacement of the F/A-18A with a new technology fighter post-2010 will be necessary, should current trends persist. 2. A larger type of fighter aircraft would be better suited as a replace- ment for the F/A-18A, should current trends persist. 3. Substantially improved aerial refuelling capabilities and Airborne Early Warning & Control aircraft will be required to support the F/A-18A, should current trends persist. 3/86 Why Air Superiority? 4/86 What is Air Superiority? 3.46 DI(AF) AAP 1000 The Air Power Manual (2nd Ed): “Control of the Air is the campaign in which operations are conducted for the purpose of gaining freedom of action in the air.
