  • Celtic League Halts Dangerous Weapons Tests

    Celtic League Halts Dangerous Weapons Tests

    Celtic News Archive 1996 - 2002 Celtic League halts dangerous weapons tests - 24-05-96 This week, the Celtic League successfully frustrated secret UK MOD attempts to start tests on countermeasures for so called "smart weapons". We argued the tests would pose a danger to ships and aircraft in the Irish sea area. The MOD initially would neither confirm nor deny our claims (then good sense appears to have prevailed). The tests at Aberporth missile range in mid Wales have now been deferred for a month. The League argued that the technology aimed at disabling Global Positioning Systems, on which the smart weapons depend, could pose a danger to others such as commercial ships, fishing craft and aircraft which use the systems. We set out below (in lay man's terms) detail to back up that argument. GPS is a vital component of modern navigation: It aids accurate navigation, geographic measurement of islands in the ocean, life saving and the control of rockets. Its pinpoint accuracy makes it a vital component of so called smart weapon technology which was demonstrated to such devastating effect during the Gulf War. GPS was originally a project of the US military which built the system of 24 satellites which span the world. Since 1990 the technology has been available for civil use and this enables a wide range of users to determine accurately the position of ships, land vehicles or aircraft. The GPS satellites rotate around the the earth in an elliptical orbit at an average height of 20,000 km. Eight satellites are "visible" at any one time in an intersecting orbital pattern.

    ~ FOURTH EDITION 2018 ~ The Douglas Trail HERITAGE & NATURE WALK The Grandstand pg 5 The Horse Trams pg 9 The Castle Mona pg 13 The Villa Marina pg 14 The old swing bridge pg 18 Port Skillion pg 20 The Nunnery pg 27 Ago’s Leap pg 32 2 The Douglas Trail Welcome to the Douglas Trail, a route which will take you through both built and natural environments. You can easily split the trail up into shorter sections or start at any point en-route. The Douglas Trail was inspired by the Douglas entry in the Britain in Bloom competition in 2006, the theme for which was biodiversity. It has developed beyond this initial concept into a trail which celebrates the variety in the town’s landscapes, architecture, history and culture. We hope you enjoy walking the trail and would welcome your comments about any ways it could be improved for the future. Similarly, if you encounter any problems en route, particularly with following the trail, it would be helpful if you would let us know. Contact details are below.
