MULTISERVICE TACTICS, TECHNIQUES, AND PROCEDURES FOREWORD This publication has been prepared under our direction for use by our respective commands and other commands as appropriate. STANLEY H. LILLIE EDWARD HANLON, JR. Colonel (P), CM Lieutenant General, USMC Commandant Commanding General United States Army Chemical School Marine Corps Combat Development Command JOHN M. KELLY DAVID F. MacGHEE, JR. Rear Admiral, USN Major General, USAF Commander Commander Navy Warfare Development Command Headquarters Air Force Doctrine Center This publication is available at Army Knowledge Online <www.us.army.mil>. PREFACE 1. Scope a. This publication provides multiservice tactics, techniques, and procedures (MTTP) for planning and conducting nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) reconnaissance operations to detect, define the limits of, mark, sample, and identify NBC and toxic industrial material (TIM) contamination that United States (US) forces may encounter in an NBC environment. The term NBC environment as used in this publication refers to an environment in which there is deliberate or accidental employment of NBC weapons, release of industrial chemicals, or contamination with radiological materials. NOTES: 1. The terms NBC defense and chemical, biological, and radiological (CBR) defense are synonymous. The United States Army (USA), United States Marine Corps (USMC), and United States Air Force (USAF) use the term NBC defense. The United States Navy (USN) uses the term CBR defense. 2. The term military decision-making process (MDMP) is the Army’s planning process. The USMC uses a similar planning process called the Marine Corps planning process (MCPP or MC2P). (For more information, see Marine Corps Warfighting Publication [MCWP] 5-1.) 3. The USMC uses the acronym METT-T (mission, enemy, terrain and weather, troops available, and time). Civilian considerations are inherently measured within the context of this acronym. b. The users of this manual are NBC staff officers and noncommissioned officers (NCOs), unit commanders, and others who are involved in planning and conducting NBC reconnaissance operations. 2. Purpose This publication provides commanders, staffs, and unit leaders with a key reference for planning and conducting NBC reconnaissance operations. It addresses concepts, principles, and fundamentals for multiservice considerations. It also serves as a key source document for developing other multiservice manuals and refining existing training support packages (TSPs), training center exercises, and service school curriculum. The information furnished provides data that can be used to support NBC reconnaissance planning and operations based on intelligence preparation of the battlespace (IPB). 3. Application This publication is designed for use at operational and tactical levels. It supports the command staff plan for preparing and conducting NBC reconnaissance operations. It is prepared as a multiservice publication to define service capabilities when conducting i NBC reconnaissance. The manual also provides guidance on dismounted and mounted techniques for NBC reconnaissance leaders and personnel who are conducting NBC reconnaissance missions. 4. Implementation Plan Participating service command offices of primary responsibility (OPRs) will review this publication, validate the information, and reference and incorporate it in service and command manuals, regulations, and curriculum as follows: Army. The USA will incorporate this publication in appropriate training and doctrinal publications as directed by the Commander, United States Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC).

Lóránt Tavasszy, Faculty of Technology, Policy, and Management Dr. Daniele Ragni Faculty of Aerospace Engineering Daniel dos Reis Miranda, Seabury Consulting An electronic version of this thesis is available at http://repository.tudelft.nl/ iii PREFACE After a successful research at Seabury Consulting about wind implica- tions on the air cargo capacity of an aircraft in the Summer of 2015, the opportunity arose of doing a graduation research project in the cargo field. The original idea Seabury had, was to solve a puzzle which looked like a big Sudoku in the first place, but has appeared to be an multi dimensional Rubik’s Cube. At least Seabury was the one with the right data to get started, so the idea had to be converted into a pro- posal with a strong framework to get to an academic research project. From the moment Lori got involved and brought some fundamental methodologies to approach the problem, the kick-off was a fact. The constant awareness of both developing an academic supported model, but also keeping in mind that this was the first step of a poten- tial commercial product, was very challenging and kept me motivated.

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.

    Améliorer la compétitivité du secteur aérien français Cahier technique n°1 Î Valorisation économique et sociale du transport aérien Améliorer la compétitivité du secteur aérien français - Cahier 1 - Date : 21/06/05 Valorisation économique et sociale du transport aérien Quelle définition pour le transport aérien ? Selon la nomenclature d’activités françaises, le transport aérien regroupe les activités régulières (code NAF 62.1Z) et le transport aérien non régulier (code NAF 62.2Z). Le transport aérien régulier regroupe le transport de personnes, de marchandises et de courrier sur des lignes régulières et selon des horaires déterminés. L’ensemble des vols charters, même réguliers, est exclu de cette classe. Le transport aérien non régulier regroupe les transports aériens de personnes et de marchandises réalisés par les charters, les avions-taxis, les locations d’avions avec pilote, ou encore les excursions aériennes. Les autres activités aériennes telles que les baptêmes de l’air, le parachutisme, les promenades en montgolfière, etc. ne sont pas assimilées à du transport aérien mais à des services récréatifs et services liés au sport. Le transport aérien, un outil indispensable de nos sociétés d’échanges Le trafic aérien mondial est en constante augmentation depuis 10 ans, indépendamment des événements géopolitiques récents. En 2001, l’activité « transport de passagers » est estimée à 364 milliards de dollars, en augmentation de 77% par rapport à 1991. La croissance du transport aérien de fret est de 9% par an, soit en moyenne 3 points de plus que celle du trafic passagers. La demande de transport aérien est principalement induite par la croissance économique, qui s’appuie dans un contexte mondialisé sur un besoin important d’échange et de mobilité des biens et des personnes.

  • Missile Communication Links
    Missile Communication Links Clifton E. Cole Jr. tandard Missile (SM) is a family of surface-to-air missiles used on U.S. Navy destroyers and cruisers. As the U.S. Navy’s Technical Direction Agent for SM, APL has been involved with the development and in-service use of numerous aspects of this missile, including all of its variants, since their conception. One of the many aspects of APL’s involvement is in the area of missile communications links that were introduced into SM in the early 1970s to support its new midcourse guidance mode. APL’s efforts in this area include concept development, design, analysis, testing, test equipment design, modeling and simulation, and systems engineering. This article provides an overview of the current communications links used by SM and discusses the Preplanned Product Improvement Link, a new communica- tions link development for SM and the Evolved Seasparrow Missile that also is used by the U.S. Navy on some of their combat ships. INTRODUCTION All Standard Missiles (SM) except for SM-1, the midcourse phase of flight allows the support of more mis- oldest variant, use a communications link. SM-1 was a sile engagements in a given time period because the illu- home-all-the-way guided missile that received its homing minator, which is required for the entire SM-1 flight, is a guidance signal from target-reflected energy provided by limited shipboard resource. Aegis destroyers have three a high-power transmitter, called an illuminator, resid- illuminators, and cruisers have four. When midcourse ing on the Terrier and Tartar ships from which it was guidance is used, the illuminator is required only during launched.
