SP vs. towed artillery: a cost-effectiveness comparison

Article Abstract:

Towed artillery (TA) continues to have significant applications in combat situations, even though self-propelled (SP) artillery dominates articles and analyses on modern development trends in the artillery sector. TA continues to hold its ground as against SP artillery when entire units' cost-effectiveness is utilized as the basis of comparison. While it cannot be denied that SP artillery enjoys a niche in modern battlefield operations, TA continues to be applicable for modern combat function, especially in cases when the range of firing is increased to as much as 40 kilometers during combat situations.

Integrated data handling system for Maritime Patrol Aircraft

Article Abstract:

Raytheon Systems Co's Aircraft Integration Systems Div developed the IDHS- 2000 Integrated Data Handling System for maritime aircraft patrol (AMP). The device, which utilizes both open architecture and commercial-off-the- shelf (COTS)-based computing, offers greater flexibility, expanded capabilities and greater integration of information. The sensors and equipment integrated in the IDHS-2000 include radar, acoustics, communications, Electronic Support Measures (ESM), navigation, Magnetic Anomaly Detector (MAD), Infrared/Electro-Optic (R/EO), self-protection, and store and weapon management sub-systems.
