The effort to declassify this report has been accomplished specifically to support the Department of Defense Nuclear Test Personnel Review (NTPR) Program. The objective is to facilitate studies of the low levels of radiation received by some individuals during the atmospheric nuclear test program by making as much information as possible available to all interested parties. The material which has been deleted is either currently classified as Restricted Data or Formerly Restricted Data under the provisions of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (as amended), or is National Security Information, or has been determined to be critical military information which could reveal system or equipment vulnerabilities and is, therefore, not appropriate for open publication. The Defense Nuclear Agency (DNA) believes that though all classified material has been deleted, the report accurately portrays the contents of the original. DNA also believes that the deleted material is of little or no significance to studies into the amounts, or types, of radiation received by any individuals during the atmospheric nuclear test program.

    U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Whitefish Biology, Distribution, and Fisheries in the Yukon and Kuskokwim River Drainages in Alaska: a Synthesis of Available Information Alaska Fisheries Data Series Number 2012-4 Fairbanks Fish and Wildlife Field Office Fairbanks, Alaska May 2012 The Alaska Region Fisheries Program of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service conducts fisheries monitoring and population assessment studies throughout many areas of Alaska. Dedicated professional staff located in Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Kenai Fish and Wildlife Offices and the Anchorage Conservation Genetics Laboratory serve as the core of the Program’s fisheries management study efforts. Administrative and technical support is provided by staff in the Anchorage Regional Office. Our program works closely with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game and other partners to conserve and restore Alaska’s fish populations and aquatic habitats. Our fisheries studies occur throughout the 16 National Wildlife Refuges in Alaska as well as off- Refuges to address issues of interjurisdictional fisheries and aquatic habitat conservation. Additional information about the Fisheries Program and work conducted by our field offices can be obtained at: http://alaska.fws.gov/fisheries/index.htm The Alaska Region Fisheries Program reports its study findings through the Alaska Fisheries Data Series (AFDS) or in recognized peer-reviewed journals. The AFDS was established to provide timely dissemination of data to fishery managers and other technically oriented professionals, for inclusion in agency databases, and to archive detailed study designs and results for the benefit of future investigations. Publication in the AFDS does not preclude further reporting of study results through recognized peer-reviewed journals.

This work was sponsored by Director Meteorology and Oceanography Contract Report DRDC-RDDC-2015-C210 September 2015 © Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada, as represented by the Minister of National Defence, 2015 © Sa Majesté la Reine (en droit du Canada), telle que représentée par le ministre de la Défense nationale, 2015 This page intentionally left blank. iii Abstract …….. Canadian Forces (CF) personnel are required to make assessments of the effects of meteorological, oceanographic, and/or ice conditions (hereafter referred to as “Met Effects”), on the operation of CF equipment. The current methods of assessing Met Effects for the CF rely on a suite of standard NATO criteria and manual or semi-automated processes. More sophisticated systems exist that offer improved estimates through automated software applications. One such system, Navy Integrated Tactical Environmental System, Variant II Redesign (NITES IIR or N2R), is a sophisticated Met Effects assessment application with performance degradation predictions for known capabilities. For each specific piece of equipment, the N2R application forms an assessment based on certain aspects of the equipment's operating characteristics and technical specifications and how they react to varying meteorological, oceanographic, or ice conditions.

  • Bandvagnar För Rörlighet I Terrängen
    Bandvagnar för rörlighet i terrängen Av Nils Sköld Under tiden från andra världskriget och fram till i dag har vi i Sverige kunnat utveckla och tillverka vapen och annan utrustning för vårt försvar, som hävdat sig mycket bra i jämförelse med vad som producerats i andra länder. Detta beror till stor del på ett nära och bra samarbete mellan försvarets myndigheter och en tekniskt högtstående industri. I denna artikel behandlas bandvagnarna. Rörlighet i terräng kan ha en avgörande betydelse, när det gäl­ ler att lösa försvarsuppgifterna till lands. I norra Sverige försvåras rörligheten vintertid av djup snö och stark kyla. Ofta faller snön innan marken har frusit. Under snön är därför marken mjuk sär­ skilt på myrar och annan blötmark. Under beredskapstiden och åren närmast därefter löstes frågan om rörlighet genom att skidtruppen själv med spårpatruller och -plutoner gjorde ett spår, som medgav att man kunde dra pulkor i det. Detta tog lång tid och var mycket ansträngande. Förbindelser för underhåll och understöd åstadkoms med anspända plogpluto­ ner. Tramphästar gående bakom varandra gjorde ett spår i den djupa snön. Detta vidgades sedan av tre hästdragna plogar med efter hand ökad bredd på plogvingarna. I detta spår kunde man köra slädar, samt kärror och lätta artilleripjäser utrustade med medar. Framryckningshastigheten vid plogning var 1 —2 km i tim­ men. Under andra världskriget hade i USA utvecklats ett lätt band­ fordon ”Weasel”. Detta hade under kriget i första hand använts i sumpig djungelterräng. Erfarenheterna visade att det också hade goda egenskaper i snö. Efter krigets slut köpte svenska armén bil­ ligt ett antal sådana överskottsfordon.

Do owego zbioru, maj ącego cechy otwarto ści mo Ŝemy bez w ątpienia zaliczy ć działania zaopatrzeniowe b ędące kluczowym elementem wojskowego systemu logistycznego. Współczesne warunki prowadzenia sojuszniczych i mi ędzynarodowych działa ń militar- nych oraz pokojowych, a tak Ŝe stabilizacyjnych, maj ących najcz ęś ciej charakter ekspedycyjny wymuszaj ą poszukiwanie nowych rozwi ąza ń funkcjonalno – technicznych i unifikacyjnych w celu zoptymalizowania sprawno ści działania narodowych podsystemów zaopatrzeniowych. Optymalizacja techniczno - unifikacyjna i b ędąca jej pochodn ą optymalizacja funkcjonalna narodowych podsystemów zaopatrywania jest podporz ądkowana idei kompatybilno ści 2 na po- ziomie wykonawczym umo Ŝliwiaj ącym opcjonaln ą realizacj ę zada ń zaopatrzeniowych w sojusz- niczej przestrzeni operacyjnej. W tym kierunku ewoluuj ą systemy zaopatrzeniowe wielu pa ństw członków NATO. Najwi ększe jednak osi ągni ęcia posiadaj ą armie Wielkiej Brytanii, Stanów Zjednoczonych, Francji oraz Niemiec. W pa ństwach tych powstały najnowocze śniejsze rozwi ą- zania funkcjonalno - techniczne do obsługi potoków zaopatrzenia w ramach podsystemów za- opatrywania, które nazwano: DROPS (Demountable Rack Off – Loading Pick – up System) – Wielka Brytania; FASTARM (Fast Arming) i MOADS/PLS (Maneuver – Oriented Ammunition Distribution System/Palletized Loading System) – USA; VTL (Vehicule de Transport Logistiqu- ∗ ppłk dypl.
