    The Combat Air Strategy: from Typhoon to 'Tempest'?

    BRIEFING PAPER Number 08391, 31 August 2018 The Combat Air Strategy: From Typhoon to By Louisa Brooke-Holland 'Tempest'? What combat aircraft will the RAF be flying in two decades time? The Combat Air Strategy, published in July 2018, sets out the Government’s ambition to develop a new combat air system that will fly alongside Typhoon and Lightning by 2035.1 The aerospace sector accounted for 87% of defence exports over the last ten years and the UK combat air sector has an annual turnover over £6bn.2 The Defence Secretary said the strategy makes clear the UK intends to remain a ‘world leader’ in the combat air sector. Work on the ‘Future Combat Air System Technology Initiative’ has already begun, with Government and industry pledging to invest £2bn over the next decade in exploring new technologies and retaining the skills necessary to develop, design and manufacture a combat aircraft. France and Germany recently announced plans to work together on a future combat air system and the UK will spend the next year talking to a range of potential partners and customers before making some early decisions by the end of 2020 and final investment decisions by 2025. The Strategy announces the creation of a Government/industry partnership called ‘Team Tempest’, drawing on MOD expertise and four major industry partners: BAE Systems, Leonardo, MBDA and Rolls-Royce. Box 1: What is ‘combat air’? “Combat Air refers to aircraft (manned or unmanned) whose prime function is to conduct air-to-air and air- to-surface combat operations in a hostile and contested environment; with the ability to concurrently conduct surveillance, reconnaissance, electronic warfare, and command and control tasks.”3 Tornado, Typhoon, Lightning… Tempest? The RAF’s combat air fleet is about to undergo a massive change.

    Sehr Geehrte Freunde Der Philatelie! Es War Eine Menge Arbeit, Aber Nun Ist Er Fertig: Der Katalog Zur 71

    Sehr geehrte Freunde der Philatelie! Es war eine Menge Arbeit, aber nun ist er fertig: Der Katalog zur 71. Auktion am 21.Au- gust 2004. Ich habe es nicht gezählt, aber es stecken in diesem Katalog sicherlich weit über tausend Arbeitsstunden. Und ich glaube, die viele Arbeit hat sich gelohnt. Der vorliegende Katalog beschreibt fast genau 10.000 Lose, von denen fast 3500 auch abgebildet wurden. Dabei gibt es mehrere Schwerpunkte: Vielleicht am interessantesten ist die Auflösung einer der schönsten Sammlungen Deut- sche Feldpost im II. Weltkrieg. Dabei sind u.a. Rhodos 8A gest. (Ausruf 1350), 8A (*) (Ausruf 2000); Kreta 7B auf Brief (Ausruf 7500), Hela 13b a. BS, Krim 15I a.

Ein Auktionsprogramm, das nicht nur zahlreiche Raritäten enthält, son- dern auch zeitgeschichtlich äußerst wertvoll ist! Einen weiteren Schwerpunkt bilden die Deutschen Kolonien und Auslandspostämter. Wir konnten wieder ein umfangreiches Angebot an Stempeln und Briefen zusammenstel- len, im Markenteil sind neben praktisch sämtlichen Standardwerten u.a. sämtliche amtlich verausgabten China-Handstempel (von 3 bis 80 Pf.) dabei, Karolinen 1/6I kpl., Ma- rianen 2/6I und Marshall-Inseln 1/6IU **, 1Ia und 1Ib a. oder die enorm seltene 7b auf . Kenner wissen, daß diese Marke seltener als eine 1I ist — nur bis zur Michelre- daktion ist dieses Wissen leider bis heute nicht durchgekommen. Gut 110 Seepost- und Marineschiffspostbelege ergänzen dieses Sammelgebiet sehr schön. Altdeutschland bietet diesmal Schwerpunkte bei Bayern, Württemberg und Hannover.

This involves a discussion of tactics and emphasizes the key enabling technology of fire control and gun mountings. In this respect, the book treats the war as a transition from naval weapons which were essentially experimental at its outbreak to a state where they pointed directly to what would be used in World War II. Based largely on original research, this sophisticated book is more than a catalogue of the weapons, offering insight into some of the most important technical and operational factors influencing the war at sea.
