Key advantages and features: • Immediate feedback on firing point display. Both DoD • Instructors can identify and correct trainee problems immediately. • Printer score cards provide each shooter with a shot-by-shot performance record. and FMS • Lanes can be operated by a central control computer or individually at the firing point.

  • Worldwide Equipment Guide Chapter 1: Littoral Systems
    Dec 2016 Worldwide Equipment Guide Chapter 1: Littoral Systems TRADOC G-2 ACE Threats Integration Ft. Leavenworth, KS Distribution Statement: Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited. Worldwide Equipment Guide Chapter 1: Littoral This chapter focuses on vessels for use in littoral ("near the shore") operations. Littoral activities include the following: - "brown water" naval operations in coastal waters (out to as far as 200+ km from shore), - amphibious landing operations or port entry (opposed and unopposed), - coastal defense actions (including patrols, engaging enemy, and denying entry) - operations in inland waterways (rivers, lakes, etc), and - actions in large marshy or swampy areas. There is no set distance for “brown water.” Littoral range is highly dependent on specific geography at any point along a coast. Littoral operations can be highly risky. Forces moving in water are often challenged by nature and must move at a slow pace while exposed to enemy observation and fires. Thus littoral forces will employ equipment best suited for well-planned operations with speed, coordination, and combined arms support. Littoral forces will employ a mix of conventional forces, specialized (naval, air, and ground) forces and equipment, and civilian equipment which can be acquired or recruited for the effort. Each type of action may require a different mix of equipment to deal with challenges of terrain, vulnerability, and enemy capabilities. Coastal water operations can utilize naval vessels that can operate in blue water. Naval battle groups for deep water also operate in littoral waters. Submarines and anti-submarine warfare (ASW) systems conduct missions in littoral waters. But challenges of shallow waters and shoreline threats also require use of smaller fast-attack boats, patrol craft, cutters, etc.

  • Armoured Vehicles Global Inventories 2016-17 Introduction
    ARMOURED VEHICLES GLOBAL INVENTORIES 2016-17 INTRODUCTION As detailed in Defence IQ’s 6th annual Global Armoured Vehicles Market Report (2017), the armoured vehicles market is projected to reach $15.17 billion in 2017. According to the report’s proprietary survey data, confidence in the global armoured vehicle market has rebounded after a temporary downturn, underpinned by steadily rising defence budgets, new contract opportunities and recent big ticket government investments. In addition to survey data and analysis the report also uncovered a continued demand for landmine/IED protection worldwide and growing demand for Armoured Personnel Carriers (APCs) and Light Protected Vehicles. Among the global community, there are also seen increasing dangers of directed energy and other types of anti-vehicles systems that demand innovative and cost-effective solutions as soon as possible. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia and the UAE have risen in the past year as the world’s focal countries for armoured vehicles business. This follow-on report details global vehicle inventories – in easy-to-read table format – in so far as it is possible to calculate. Of course, some nations and regions are less transparent than others about the exact units stocked in their military vehicle fleets, but we hope the information enclosed can help readers garner a greater understanding of the current situation for end-users. This report has been issued ahead of the 17th Annual International Armoured Vehicles conference, taking place in London, UK, on 23-26 January. A registration form can be found at www.internationalarmouredvehicles.com. Need more information?

  • The Czech Republic and Its Professional Armed Forces
    THE CZECH REPUBLIC AND ITS PROFESSIONAL ARMED FORCES Jaroslav Roušar Ministry of Defence of the Czech Republic Prague, March 2006 © Ministry of Defence of the Czech Republic – Military Information and Service Agency, 2006 ISBN 80-7278-313-0 (English edition) ISBN 80-7278-312-2 (Czech edition, hardback) ISBN 80-7278-331-9 (Czech edition, paperback) 2 INTRODUCTION The Czech Republic and its armed forces are two notions that are inseparably linked with each other. The country in the heart of Europe, and an institution that is essential for defence of its territory and protection of its population. In past and in present… The publication you are now browsing through describes the most important milestones in the development of the Czech statehood; gradual changes from the dawn of its history up to the present times. It also reminds numerous cultural and historical monuments created by generations of our forefathers: ancient towns, Gothic and Renaissance castles, jewels of folk architecture, collections of museums and art galleries. Many of them are so unique and significant that they have been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List as monuments of outstanding value to humanity, of importance that reaches far beyond the limits of our territory. The latest chapter in the history of our nation starts in November 1989. The totalitarian regime in Czechoslovakia gave way, and a perspective of essential changes opened for our country, a way to restoration of a sovereign democratic nation. Key economic reforms and a reform of the state administration have become a point of departure for our return to the family of European democratic nations.
