The demands on sensors, state observation, missile guidance, and simulation for air-defence is the subject of this research. Historical reviews for each topic, justification of favoured techniques and algorithms are provided, using a nomenclature developed to unify these disciplines. Sensors selected for their enduring impact on future systems are described and simulation models provided. Complex internal systems are reduced to simpler models capable of replicating dominant features, particularly those that adversely effect state observers. Of the state observer architectures considered, a distributed system comprising ground based target and own-missile tracking, data up-link, and on-board missile measurement and track fusion is the natural choice for air-defence. An IMM is used to process radar measurements, combining the estimates from filters with different target dynamics. The remote missile state observer combines up-linked target tracks and missile plots with IMU and seeker data to provide optimal guidance information. -
June 2016 Place in the Land of Israel
14 1 Bible Study and Bon-Fire Nights! Orchard Hill Church Join us this summer for Bible study, volleyball, and bonfires! We will begin with a video based Bible study each week that highlights a different story, event, and June 2016 place in the land of Israel. You can see the sites of some of the greatest events in our Bible as well as begin to understand the historical context behind God’s Word. This is a thrilling month at OHC as we bring a number of After our Bible study we will spend the second part of the night playing volleyball individuals into a new season of leadership at OHC. Can you and eating some s’mores over the fire! think of any greater privilege than to be called to be a leader in the church of Jesus Christ? The church is his Body, his Bride, the Temple of his Spirit, his Flock, his Army, and his Family. High School– Monday Nights, starting June 13, 7:00 - 9:00 PM Can you think of any greater responsibility than leading his church? Middle School– Wednesday Nights, starting June 15, 7:00 - 9:00 PM This is why God's Word has laid before us such challenging requirements for Christian leadership. The standards are rightly high, not only for the sake of the church's vitality but also for the sake of the leader's vitality. As we look into Gods word (1 Timothy 3:1-13, 2 Timothy 2:1-13, Titus 1:5-9, Acts 6:1-6, and Exodus 18:21-22.) the qualifications spelled out for leadership in these Anyone want to passages can be summarized in four words: commitment, conviction, competency, and character. -

Beijing's Reach in the South China Sea by Felix K
Beyond the Unipolar Moment Beijing's Reach in the South China Sea by Felix K. Chang ince the early 1980s, China has consistently sought to accelerate the modernization of its conventional forces. The essence of that new policy Swas captured by Chinese strategists in a "set of eight Chinese characters: zongti fanquei, zhongdian jazhan (strengthen overall national power for defending security, emphasize the main points of defense science and technol ogy)."! The policy was designed to give Chinese forces the strategic framework to "coordinate with each other in combat, react quickly, counter electronic surveillance, ensure logistical supply, and survive in the field." By relying on the wealth generated from the country's economic expansion to acquire foreign military equipment and technology, particularly from Russia, China's modern ization program has benefited significantly. Now, as Chinese leaders- become more assertive in East Asia, China's neighbors naturally monitor with growing unease the Chinese military, increasingly geared for power-projection.3 Although Taiwan has so far been this year's focus of concern, Chinese military planners have not abandoned their aim of asserting sovereignty over the Spratly (Nansha) Islands in the South China Sea. China and several Southeast Asian countries-including Vietnam, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan, and Brunei-vie for control over these islands and the rights to the sea and seabed !

Protecting Airliners from Terrorist Missiles
Order Code RL31741 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Homeland Security: Protecting Airliners from Terrorist Missiles Updated February 16, 2006 name redacted Specialist in National Defense Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Bartholomew Elias Specialist in Aviation Safety, Security, and Technology Resources, Science, and Industry Division Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress Homeland Security: Protecting Airliners from Terrorist Missiles Summary Recent events have focused attention on the threat that terrorists with shoulder fired surface-to-air missiles (SAMs), referred to as Man-Portable Air Defense Systems (MANPADS), pose to commercial airliners. Most believe that no single solution exists to effectively mitigate this threat. Instead, a menu of options may be considered, including installing infrared (IR) countermeasures on aircraft; modifying flight operations and air traffic control procedures; improving airport and regional security; and strengthening missile non-proliferation efforts. Equipping aircraft with missile countermeasure systems can protect the aircraft even when operating in areas where ground-based security measures are unavailable or infeasible to implement. However, this option has a relatively high cost, between $1 million and $3 million per aircraft, and the time needed for implementation does not allow for immediate response to the existing terrorist threat. Procedural improvements such as specific flight crew training, altering air traffic procedures to minimize exposure to the threat, and improved security near airports may be less costly than countermeasures and could more immediately help deter domestic terrorist attacks. However, these techniques by themselves cannot completely mitigate the risk of domestic attacks and would not protect U.S. airliners flying to and from foreign airports. -

NATIONAL AIR AND SPACE ARCHIVES Herbert Stephen Desind Collection Accession No. 1997-0014 NASM 9A00657 National Air and Space Museum Smithsonian Institution Washington, DC Brian D. Nicklas © Smithsonian Institution, 2003 NASM Archives Desind Collection 1997-0014 Herbert Stephen Desind Collection 109 Cubic Feet, 305 Boxes Biographical Note Herbert Stephen Desind was a Washington, DC area native born on January 15, 1945, raised in Silver Spring, Maryland and educated at the University of Maryland. He obtained his BA degree in Communications at Maryland in 1967, and began working in the local public schools as a science teacher. At the time of his death, in October 1992, he was a high school teacher and a freelance writer/lecturer on spaceflight. Desind also was an avid model rocketeer, specializing in using the Estes Cineroc, a model rocket with an 8mm movie camera mounted in the nose. To many members of the National Association of Rocketry (NAR), he was known as “Mr. Cineroc.” His extensive requests worldwide for information and photographs of rocketry programs even led to a visit from FBI agents who asked him about the nature of his activities. Mr. Desind used the collection to support his writings in NAR publications, and his building scale model rockets for NAR competitions. Desind also used the material in the classroom, and in promoting model rocket clubs to foster an interest in spaceflight among his students. Desind entered the NASA Teacher in Space program in 1985, but it is not clear how far along his submission rose in the selection process. He was not a semi-finalist, although he had a strong application. -
