    USAFAlmanac ■ Gallery of USAF Weapons By Susan H.H. Young The B-1B’s conventional capability is being significantly enhanced by the ongoing Conventional Mission Upgrade Program (CMUP). This gives the B-1B greater lethality and survivability through the integration of precision and standoff weapons and a robust ECM suite. CMUP will include GPS receivers, a MIL-STD-1760 weapon interface, secure radios, and improved computers to support precision weapons, initially the JDAM, followed by the Joint Standoff Weapon (JSOW) and the Joint Air to Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM). The Defensive System Upgrade Program will improve aircrew situational awareness and jamming capability.

Carlron Ian Whitaker r External Examiner Professor Department of Sociology and Anthropology Simon Fraror Univerrlty ABSTRACT This thesis examines a number of ethno~raphicallycol- lected socketed harpoon heads and valves from the Northwest Coast. The aim of this thesis is to discover correlations between the formal attributes of harpoons and recorded func- tion. One hundred and twenty-seven specimen8 from the British Columbia Provincial Museum in Victoria, the National Museum of Man in Ottawa and the Museum of Archaeology and Ethnoloay at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby were examined and recorded. The methodology involved first of all establishine a standard- ized terminoloey for socketed harpoon heads and their consti- tuent parts. This terminology was then applied to the des- criptions of harpoon heads found in the ethnographic literature. Once the morpholoeical-functional types had been defined for the various groups, extendine from the Coast Salish in the south to the Tlingit in the north, the typology was ap~liedto the data in order to specify the formal attributes of the pre- viously defined types, or, conversely, to modify and redefine those types presented in the literature on the basis of the substantive data.

Development The RIM-66 Standard missile was developed in the 1960s as a replacement for the RIM-24A Tartar surface-to-air missile for the US Navy. The incremental improvement of this system has continued for over 30 years, with Standard missile versions from RIM-66A to -66M. RIM-66 Standard versions are known as SM-1MR and SM-2MR (medium range); the principal differences between the earlier SM-1MR (RIM-66A/B/E) and SM-2MR (RIM-66C/D/G/H/J/K/L/M) missiles were that the SM-2 incorporated an inertial guidance system and updated the conical scan semi-active radar terminal guidance to a monopulse semi-active radar. A surface-to-surface anti-radar homing version of SM-1MR (RGM-66D) was developed in the early 1970s and the air-launched variant of this, the AGM-78 Standard, is believed to still be in service with the US Navy. SM-1 missiles are single-stage and present build standards are block 6, 6A and 6B. SM-2 single-stage missiles are known as Tartar or Aegis categories, with present build standards block 2, 3, 3A and 3B.
