Militaries in Asia now not only need to equip themselves for conventional battles but also for the growing threat of terrorism. The two requirements call for different weapon types and capabilities. We look at the different small and medium arms systems in use with Asian militaries and the difficulties they face as they seek to reequip infantry units with modern small and medium arms.

  • Future Technology and International Cooperation a UK Perspective
    MAY Future Technology and International Cooperation A UK perspective In 2011, NATO’s Integrated Air Defence (NATINAD) and the supporting NATO Integrated Air Defence System (NATINADS) marked 50 years of safeguarding NATO’s skies. In order to successfully reach future milestones NATO must continue (and in many cases improve) its air defence interoperability across the strategic, operational and tactical domains. In order for this to become reality a combination of exploiting synergies and acknowledging that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts1 is required at all levels. Recent improvements and a greater focus on future capability within the UK’s Joint Ground Based Air Defence (Jt GBAD) will enable the Formation to deploy its units and sub-units in order to operate the latest air defence weapon systems, within a multinational environment, against a near-peer adversary or asymmetric threat, and win.

Does the Army have a clear understanding of how it will employ its armoured vehicles in future operations? 2. Given the delays to its programmes, will the Army be able to field the Strike Brigades and an armoured division as envisaged by the 2015 SDSR? 3. How much has the Army spent on procuring armoured vehicles over the last 20 years? How many vehicles has it procured with this funding? 4. What other capabilities has the Army sacrificed in order to fund overruns in its core armoured vehicles programmes? 5. How flexible can the Army be in adapting its current armoured vehicle plans to the results of the Integrated Review? 6. By 2025 will the Army be able to match the potential threat posed by peer adversaries? 7. Is the Army still confident that the Warrior CSP can deliver an effective vehicle capability for the foreseeable future? 8. To what extent does poor contractor performance explain the delays to the Warrior and Ajax programmes? 9. Should the UK have a land vehicles industrial strategy, and if so what benefits would this bring? 10. What sovereign capability for the design and production of armoured vehicles does the UK retain? 11. Does it make sense to upgrade the Challenger 2 when newer, more capable vehicles may be available from our NATO allies? 12. What other key gaps are emerging within the Army’s armoured vehicle capability? 13.

Military applications emerged fairly early in the infancy of aviation, in the form of first trials to establish the superiority of the third dimension over the battlefield. Well- known examples include the balloon reconnaissance efforts made in France even before the birth of the aircraft, and it was not long before the first generation of flimsy, underpowered aircraft were being tested in a military environment. The Italians used aircraft for reconnaissance missions at Tripoli in 1910-1912, and the Americans made their first attempts at taking air power to sea as early as 1910-1911.

  • Introduction
    1 Introduction Dennis Blair The second volume of Military Engagement relates the stories of how democratic civil-military relations developed in five world regions and fourteen individual countries. This introduction pro- vides some background on those who authored these stories and describes the patterns observed and the lessons that can be drawn from them. The Authors The regional summaries were written by a team of coauthors, almost all having both practical experience in armed forces or defense ministries of their countries and subsequent careers with security think tanks. They also contributed ideas and criticisms of the analysis and recommendations in the companion volume. Juan Emilio Cheyre, while chief of staff of the Chilean army, took the final steps to bring his service out of the Pinochet era. Matthew Rhodes is a professor at the Marshall Center in Germany, an insti- tution at the center of military-military relations among countries around the world. Istvan Gyarmati, who participated in the early brainstorming sessions for the handbook, was deputy defense minister of Hungary during the Hungarian armed forces’ transi- tion from its Warsaw Pact organization to meet NATO standards. Muthiah Alagappa, a general in the Malaysian Army, has become the foremost scholar of Asian civil-military relations subsequent to 1 01-2478-0 ch1.indd 1 5/16/13 6:03 PM 2 Dennis Blair his retirement. Tannous Mouawad served as Lebanon’s military attaché to the United States and the chief of Lebanon’s military intelligence service. Martin Rupiya was an officer in the Zimbabwean National Army and now heads a security affairs think tank in South Africa Each of the regional coauthors recruited additional authors to write the indi- vidual case studies; two of them wrote a case study as well.

  • Our Bureauhyderabad, August 17 Bharat Dynamics Ltd
    Our BureauHyderabad, August 17 Bharat Dynamics Ltd (BDL) and MBDA of UK have signed up to establish a facility for the Final Assembly, Integration and Test facility for Advanced Short Range Air-to-Air Missile missiles in India. A licensing agreement was signed by NP Diwakar, Director (Technical), BDL, and George Kyriakides, International Industrial Cooperation Director, MBDA at a virtual ceremony today. MBDA will transfer the equipment and knowledge to BDL for establishing the facility. Work is due to start immediately on the unit which is expected to commence operations by 2022-23. In a statement, Commodore Siddharth Mishra (Retd), CMD, BDL said, “ASRAAM is one of the within-visual-range missiles available and BDL will be manufacturing these at its Bhanur Unit, Telangana, for the domestic and export market in future through MBDA.” “The new facility will provide India with the ability to carry out final assembly, integration and test of ASRAAM missiles. BDL has been endeavouring to enter into a tie-up with foreign Original Equipment Manufacturers in pursuit of its expansion programme,” he said. George Kyriakides of MBDA said: “MBDA has a long and highly successful history of working with BDL for over four decades, a partnership that has seen BDL manufacture a large number of MBDA- designed Milan missiles in India.” The agreement to establish the facility follows an earlier Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between BDL and MBDA on ASRAAM FAIT signed during 2019. This facility can also be adapted to conduct final assembly, integration and test of the CAMM missile of MBDA used by the Sea Ceptor naval air defence system.

Prasanna Venkatesan 2 * Faculty of ECE, Indian Naval Academy, Ezhimala, India DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.1147484 ABSTRACT The aim of this paper is to explain the CLOS (Command to Line of Sight) Missile Systems in detail. The includes the concept behind it, the technology used and the applications in modern warfare. While the paper will largely deal with CLOS guidance, the theory behind basic functioning of a guided weapon/missile will also be discussed. The MCLOS (Manual Command to Line of Sight), SACLOS (Semi Automatic Command to Line of Sight), and ACLOS (Automatic Command to Line of Sight) are also presented along with their applications. KEYWORDS: ACLOS, MCLOS, SACLOS I. INTRODUCTION A Guided weapon may be described briefly as a weapon system which the warhead is delivered by an unmanned guided vehicle. Guided missiles have only been in practical use since the advent of World War II. It is because the technology has enabled the invention of the final product has been around for a lot longer. From the oldest of discoveries, like that of gunpowder in the 1st millennium BC by the Chinese to the rapid advances in the field of science, they have all been required to the practical enabling of the concept of guided missile systems [1][2]. The Germans were the first to field guided weapons with the use of V1 guided bomb and the V2 rocket.
