Encinar & L. de Haro; J. Freese, R. Jakoby & J. Wenger; R. Bolt & L. Pettersson; M. Thiel (for reviews) + all institution members of A2.4 activity for inventory (table-appendix B) Abstract As a 1st step for structuring the European Research on Array Antennas, this deliverable D1 presents a clear terminology tree for this antenna category: from passive ones to fully active, the latter using analogue or digital beam-forming with self-adaptive algorithms, via phased arrays using passive controllable devices. According to this taxonomy, 54 array antennas, built by ACE partners, have been classified. The main characteristics are summed up in a large table (appendix B). Typical examples are shown in §4, covering a wide range of various array categories. Modelling tools are presented, and bottlenecks pointed out, providing input for further research work. As complements to the main part, five extensive world-wide “State-of-the-art” reviews are attached: each one explains how array antennas are good answers to the requirements of a given type of Communication (and to a lesser extent: Remote Sensing) System: in Base- Stations, on Satellites, for User Terminals, and in Civil or Defence Radar.

Dit is het verslag van een onderzoek naar de identiteit van Thales Hengelo, Thales maakt momenteel alleen de consoles, en levert deze dan af bij de en hoe deze kan worden toegepast op de consoles en de kabinetten van klant, met een globaal voorstel voor de inrichting. Randvoorwaarden zoals Thales. Het probleem was dat Thales de afgelopen tijd steeds meer COTS globale verlichting, ruimte om te passeren en “meekijkbaarheid” worden apparatuur (Commercial Of The Shelf) ging inkopen en steeds minder zelf daarbij vaak niet duidelijk genoeg doorgezet. Een belangrijke conclusie ging maken. Vooral de kabinetten hadden daar onder te lijden omdat zij in was dat de stoel, het enige instelbare onderdeel van de console installatie, hun geheel worden ingekocht en daarna ook nog eens worden volgestopt niet door Thales besteld werd. Vaak had Thales zelfs geen idee welke met voornamelijk COTS apparatuur. De vraag was hoe hier mee stoelen er precies gebruikt zouden worden. Dit is door mij bezien als een omgegaan moest worden om de kabinetten toch “typisch Thales” te gemiste kans, omdat de stoel nog veel ruimte heeft voor uitbreiding zoals maken.

    Navy Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Program: Background and Issues for Congress Updated February 6, 2019 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov RL33745 Navy Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Program Summary The Aegis ballistic missile defense (BMD) program, which is carried out by the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) and the Navy, gives Navy Aegis cruisers and destroyers a capability for conducting BMD operations. The Department of Defense’s January 2019 missile defense review report states that the number of operational BMD-capable Aegis ships was 38 at the end of FY2018 and is planned to increase to 60 by the end of FY2023. The Aegis BMD program is funded mostly through MDA’s budget. The Navy’s budget provides additional funding for BMD-related efforts. MDA’s proposed FY2019 budget requests a total of $1,711.8 million in procurement and research and development funding for Aegis BMD efforts, including funding for two Aegis Ashore sites in Poland and Romania that are to be part of the European Phased Adaptive Approach (EPAA). MDA’s budget also includes operations and maintenance (O&M) and military construction (MilCon) funding for the Aegis BMD program. Under the EPAA for European BMD operations, BMD-capable Aegis ships are operating in European waters to defend Europe from potential ballistic missile attacks from countries such as Iran. BMD-capable Aegis ships also operate in the Western Pacific and the Persian Gulf to provide regional defense against potential ballistic missile attacks from countries such as North Korea and Iran. Two Japan-homeported Navy BMD-capable Aegis destroyers included in the above figures—the Fitzgerald (DDG-62) and the John S.
