SIX DECADES OF GUIDED MUNITIONS AND BATTLE NETWORKS: PROGRESS AND PROSPECTS Barry D. Watts Thinking Center for Strategic Smarter and Budgetary Assessments About Defense www.csbaonline.org Six Decades of Guided Munitions and Battle Networks: Progress and Prospects by Barry D. Watts Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments March 2007 ABOUT THE CENTER FOR STRATEGIC AND BUDGETARY ASSESSMENTS The Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments (CSBA) is an independent, nonprofit, public policy research institute established to make clear the inextricable link between near-term and long- range military planning and defense investment strategies. CSBA is directed by Dr. Andrew F. Krepinevich and funded by foundations, corporations, government, and individual grants and contributions. This report is one in a series of CSBA analyses on the emerging military revolution. Previous reports in this series include The Military-Technical Revolution: A Preliminary Assessment (2002), Meeting the Anti-Access and Area-Denial Challenge (2003), and The Revolution in War (2004). The first of these, on the military-technical revolution, reproduces the 1992 Pentagon assessment that precipitated the 1990s debate in the United States and abroad over revolutions in military affairs. Many friends and professional colleagues, both within CSBA and outside the Center, have contributed to this report. Those who made the most substantial improvements to the final manuscript are acknowledged below. However, the analysis and findings are solely the responsibility of the author and CSBA. 1667 K Street, NW, Suite 900 Washington, DC 20036 (202) 331-7990 CONTENTS ACKNOWLEGEMENTS .................................................. v SUMMARY ............................................................... ix GLOSSARY ………………………………………………………xix I.

Once deprived of their Bf 109 escorts, the German bombers were acutely vulnerable to the predations of British Spitfires and Hurricanes. © Osprey Publishing • www.ospreypublishing.com he story of the German Luftwaffe (Air Force) has been an abiding focus of military Thistorians since the end of World War II in 1945. It is not difficult to see why. Like many aspects of the German war machine, the Luftwaffe was a crowning achievement of the German rearmament programme. During the 1920s and early 1930s, the air force was a shadowy organization, operating furtively under the tight restrictions on military development imposed by the Versailles Treaty. Yet through foreign-based aircraft design agencies, civilian air transport and nationalistic gliding clubs, the seeds of a future air force were nevertheless kept alive and growing in Hitler’s new Germany, and would eventually emerge in the formation of the Luftwaffe itself in 1935. The nascent Luftwaffe thereafter grew rapidly, its ranks of both men and aircraft swelling under the ambition of its commander-in-chief, Hermann Göring. -
The Precision-Information Revolution in Military Affairs and the Limits of Technology
Chapter 16 The Precision-Information Revolution in Military Affairs and The Limits of Technology Peter R. Mansoor On September 9, 1943, the Italian battleship Roma was making its way south towards Malta and the safety of Allied air cover. While traversing the Strait of Bonifacio between Sardinia and Corsica, the ship and its escorts came un- der attack from a specially trained German air squadron equipped with a new weapon: the Fritz X guided bomb. Six Dornier Do 217 aircraft, each carrying two bombs, flew over the Italian flotilla at an altitude of 5,500 meters. Shortly after 3:30 pm, the Germans attacked. The Roma and its escorts fired back and took evasive action, but to no avail. German bombardiers guided bombs onto the Roma and Italia, causing them to lose speed and drop out of formation. Shortly before 4 pm another Fritz X penetrated the Roma and detonated in- side the forward engine room. The forward magazine exploded, causing cata- strophic damage to the ship. In a matter of minutes the Roma capsized and sank, taking 1,253 of her crew with her to a watery grave.1 Two days later on the morning of September 11, 1943, the Brooklyn-class light cruiser uss Savannah was positioned in the Bay of Salerno, supporting U.S. ground troops ashore with naval gunfire. The ship was being tracked from 5,700 meters overhead by a Dornier Do 217 aircraft, which released a Fritz X bomb to- wards it. The bombardier guided the bomb onto the roof of the Savannah’s No. -
Weapons Pack
Weapons Pack for Strike Fighters: Project 1 Wings Over Vietnam Wings Over Europe 03 Jul 2006 ________________________________________________________________________ Rob "Bunyap" McCray [email protected] www.bunyap2w1.com Overview This project is designed to provide a hassle free way of obtaining every 3rd party released weapon and gun. It will be updated after every aircraft release to include the newly created ordnance, gun types, and fuel tanks. All data is checked and verified by experts to provide the most realistic weapons effects and performance possible. The Weapons Pack is compatible with Strike Fighters: Project 1, Wings Over Vietnam, and Wings Over Europe. This version of the Weapons Pack has been re-designed with a far superior system for nation and date assignments than previous versions. Modified aircraft data must be used to take advantage of this. Instructions for installing this data and modifying aircraft that are not included are provided. Some other enhancements include functional targeting pods, guidance for laser, EO, IIR, and GPS guided bombs, better missile guidance, functional EO/IR guided missiles, and functional weapon availability dates. Effects created by Deuces or based on his work are included covering the range of weapons currently available. These include: Bomb explosion effects of various sizes. Cluster Bomb explosion effects. Rocket Launcher effects. Missile and Rocket motor effects. Smoke trails. White Phosphorus explosion effects. Colored smoke effects for WP rockets. Leaflet bomb effects. Chaff and flare effects. White Phosphorus smoke for Anti-radiation missiles. Inert bomb and rocket effects. Spotting charge effects for practice bombs. Rocket sub-munition effects. Illumination flare effects. Napalm explosion effects. -

Many monoplanar systems have been developed and demonstrated in the U.S.; however, few entered the inventory and generally remained for only a short time. By contrast_within the Soviet Union, many monoplanar missiles have also been developed_ most of which have remained in the inventory. A large data bank of monoplanar missile aerodynamics exists and many programs are currently underway. Most monoplanar missile systems have been directed toward use as surface-to-surface or air-to-surface where range requirements may be more important than maneuver requirements. However, the use of monoplanar systems in the surface-to-air and air-to-air roles should not be overlooked. INTRODUCTION . The knowledge of rocketry and missiles has been in existence for many centuries but the serious thought of using unmanned cruise missiles for possible military application did not begin until early in the 20th century. This thought, of course, was spawned by the advent of successful manned flight with heavier-than-air vehi- cles. The early missiles generally had an airplane-like appearance since the bulk of available information was related to airplane design. -

Motivation for Air-Launch: Past, Present, and Future John W. Kelly,* Charles E. Rogers,† Gregory T. Brierly,‡ J. Campbell Martin,§ and Marshall G. Murphy** NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center, Edwards, California, 93523 “Air-launch” is defined as two or more air-vehicles joined and working together, that eventually separate in flight, and that have a combined performance greater than the sum of the individual parts. The use of the air-launch concept has taken many forms across civil, commercial, and military contexts throughout the history of aviation. Air-launch techniques have been applied for entertainment, movement of materiel and personnel, efficient execution of aeronautical research, increasing aircraft range, and enabling flexible and efficient launch of space vehicles. For each air-launch application identified in this paper, the motivation for that application is discussed.

The AAF Scientific Advisory Group was activated late in 1944 by General of the Army H. H. Arnold. He se cured the senices of Dr. Theodore von Karman, re nowned scientist and consultant in aeronautics, who agreed to organize and direct the group. Dr. von Karman gathered about him a group of Ameri can scientists from every field of research having a bearing on air power. These men then analyzed im portant developments in the basic sciences, both here and abroad, and attempted to evaluate the effects of their application to air power. This volume is one of a group of reports made to the Army Air Forces by the Scientific Advisory Group. 1hIa doculllent contains IIIfannotlon affecting .... ftCIfIonal de*- of ....
