Today's military training has enough realism to make your hands sweat - thanks to over S650 million worth of laser-based MILES equipment delivered by Loral. Not just an automatic record of hits and misses. But the bang, the flash and the "feel" of battlefield experience, too.

Now we're developing MILES II. Via links to the global positioning satellite, it will track every weapon in a simulated battle - simultaneously and in real time - including high angle fire, and helicopter gunships. It can even play back an entire exercise to commanders afterwards.

Loral is the only company in the world with the proven capabilities to develop and integrate this entire system.

Loral: first name in defense electronics.

Call GE To Bring New Life To Old Navy And Marine Steam Turbines And Gears.

Ships at sea. The longer they stay in service, the greater the return on investment. Today, steam turbine maintenance and life exten­sion programs are an economic necessity for the continued success of any fleet. As the leading supplier of steam turbine propulsion and electrical generation systems for Navy and commercial ships, we are uniquely qualified to help tailor a maintenance progiam for your GE. system.

First, we can draw upon millions of hours of turbine and gdar operating data to accurately project the needs of your system. Second, we can refer to original GE design specifications, rhaterial lists, manufacturing records and test results. Consequently, GE can produce each replacement part as an exact duplicate of the origi­nal, complete with special processes known only to the original equipment manufacturer. Frequently, we can make a replacement p_art—or the entire system—perform better than the original by incorporating tbe latest technical advances.

Third, we support our systems throughout their entire life cycle with experienced GE professionals at offices around the world. They provide technical expertise and access our manufacturing capability within the United States and Europe. Call one of these offices to bring new life to your geared steam turbine system: Waltham, MA (617) 647-7467; Washington, DC (202) 637-4357; Hampton, VA (804) 827-4590; New Orleans, LA (504) 831-5477;

El Monte, CA (818) 572-5095; Madrid 34-1-577-7331; London 44-784-435904 and Singapore 65-861-5500. For over a century,

GE has responded to the needs of ships at sea. We are dedicated to continuing this Proud Tradition into the 21st Century.

Our world of experience and capabilities is tailored to meet your world of requirements ... both the electro-optical fire con­trol needs of the Navy and the electro-optical surveillance needs of the Coast Guard.

More than 90 ships around the globe are now operating success­fully with our radars and fire control systems.

Comprising more than a cen­tury of experience, the Selenia- Elsag Naval Systems Consortium has proudly produced more than 350 fire control systems for 15 of the world’s navies.

Every small ship needs a powerful Sidelf

Destroyers, frigates, and corvettes often operate outside a fleet’s active ECM protection net. If they come under anti-ship missile attack, they must rely on their own chaff, gun, and missile systems for protection. They carry no active ECM system to confuse and deflect such threats.

That problem has been solved by Raytheon. Today, the USS Reid and USS Hawes, both frigates, have a lightweight active ECM system nicknamed Sidekick. It gives a small ship’s passive SLQ-32(V)2 electronic warfare system the active capability needed to support all

ocean operations.

New Books

Eric Grove, the author of a major study cf British naval policy which we pub­lished in 1987, has written a new book, J^e Future of Sea Power, that already is being compared with the classic works of j^ahan and Corbett. Now available to Naval Institute members, the book puts forward a new empirical theory of mari- fime strategy based on contemporary concerns and technological develop- tients. Grove examines the changing ^uses of the seas and then argues that mar- 'hme strategy and power should stem di­^rectly f_rom the need to fulfill specific, definable tasks. Wayne P. Hughes, Jr., Professor at the Naval Postgraduate School calls this book “the best since World War II,” and certainly it warrants dose study by the naval community.

For those interested in the development °f British warship design in the mid-19th century we offer Before the Ironclad by David K. Brown. Illustrated with 200 Photographs and line drawings, this at­tractive and informative book challenges °ld assumptions about the Royal Navy’s rductance toward technological change ^and provides a full section on the design °f the Warrior, the first iron-built, seago- ^lng capital ship in the world.

Pacing The USW Threat

Submarines capable of diving to 6,600 feet...maneuvering at 100 knots... equipped with 300-knot torpedos. Beyond today's technology? Perhaps. With these considerations in mind, EDO continues its Independent Research and Development (IR&D) with pacing advanced studies.

Today's quieter submersibles also require improved ASW systems. EDO IR&D pro­grams—completed, validated and in­process—are providing cost-effective solu­tions, enhancing passive and active ASW signal processing and display capabilities.

Second-generation, small size, very high speed Advanced Modular Signal Processing systems (AMSP/2) take advantage of ad­vanced algorithms and have confirmed breakthroughs for present passive USW systems. They also have endowed active system capability, affirming EDO's on­going efforts in "Pacing The Threat."

EDO welcomes your systems applications or modification requirement inquiries.

The mission: Ensure die U.S. Navy’s fleet performance remains unsurpassed.

Today, the unparalleled service life and reliability of LM2500 powered patrol boats, guided missile frigates, destroyers, Aegis Cruisers, and fast combat support ships have helped bring fleet readiness to an all time high.

At sea, the high speed efficiency of LM 2500 gas turbine propulsion has contributed significantly to fleet range and endurance. At the same time, the compact design of these remarkable engines has provided the space needed for the sophisti­cated systems that give today’s ships such awesome offensive and defensive capabilities.

But maintaining the superiority of today’s surface fleet calls for forward thinking and bold action.

To meet the challenge, GE’s gas turbine team is continuously advancing propulsion technology with innovative systems for Navy ships of the next generation, whether they’re conventional hulls, SES or SWATH. Propulsion and power systems that provide the design flexibility, performance and cost effectiveness a future of supe­riority at sea demands.

The Omega,

the turboprop military trainer is formidable on more than one count:

Its performance and ease of handling are representative of the most modern combat aircraft.

As far as cost,

it is the answer to economic worries of the air force, while continuing to meet their training needs.

In terms of competition, the Omega offers the luxury of being at the same time the most modern and the least expensive aircraft in its category.

Textron Marine Systems’ Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) embodies the Halsey doctrine of World War II. Through modern technology, we help extend Navy/Marine Corps amphibious capabilities. At higher speeds with greater payloads, the LCAC opens up 70 percent of the world’s beaches (compared to 20 percent in Halsey’s time) to our tena­cious sailors and Marines.

At Inchon, Gen. MacArthur mount­ed a complicated and trouble-prone amphibious operation. Textron Marine Systems’ LAMP-H (lighter, amphibian, heavy lift air cushion vehicle) is designed to reduce future risks during Army Logistics-Over- The-Shore (LOTS) operations. As history has shown, our resupplied frontline soldiers will take it from there.

For two centuries leaders like                    ‘

Admiral Waesche, a former Coast Guard commandant, have set stan­dards for rescue at sea. Recognizing              .

the inherent dangers involved,                  ^

Textron Marine Systems is proud to provide the most advanced search and rescue Motor Lifeboat (MLB) in Coast Guard history. Our “always         ^

Chairman of the Board & CEO Hughes Aircraft Company

th * ^very best people doing e very best job, solving the tech-

_c That’s what puts Hughes Air- ^att Company in a class by itself.

At Hughes, we’re inspired by th ^r/°^unchng commitment to be _st ^e best in the industry. To set the , ^aidard for excellence in every- ^hln8wedo.

A SPIRIT OF EXCELLENCE

This spirit of excellence has _fr^Vays helped us stay at the fore- U°^nt of the industry. Since the day °tvard Hughes first built an air- di«^{ne l}^^at w⁰¹¹^ break speed and tim ^{ance recor}ds—and did. To the •hd ^{We enterc}d the electronics °^Ustry over 40 years ago, and set ₀ ¹ to undertake assignments no _u ^e else could handle. Right up tin ' ^t*^le P^resent, where we con- _t() ^Ue to develop new technologies ^eet tomorrow’s needs today. p_e 'Ae’ve always recruited the best °Ple, including the top engi­neers, scientists, and technicians. Not only relying on their excel­lence for our success, but giving them the freedom to succeed.

No wonder our people revolu­tionized the air intercept missile business in the 1950s with the Falcon. And they’ve been creat­ing innovative technology and pioneering many facets of prod­uct development ever since.

The idea for the world’s first geosynchronous satellite was developed by Hughes scientists whose dedication took them beyond their sphere of respon­sibility. Men who not only had a vision, but the conviction to over­come tremendous odds to make their dream a reality.

NURTURING IDEAS

Hughes embraced their dream and nurtured their ideas. Just as we’ve nurtured and developed many others, across a wide spec­trum of technology—from radar systems to lasers, and spacecraft to artificial intelligence.

All had one thing in common. They were solutions of the best minds, of people driven by a desire to solve the world’s tough­est technological problems. And through their efforts, we have set the standard for excellence.

OUR PEOPLE

I credit the people at Hughes for our company’s accomplish­ments, and for expanding the frontiers of technology. Together, we will continue our commit­ment to produce innovative products efficiently and afford­ably, while maintaining our high standard of technological development.

And I’m proud to say I never forget this commitment begins with our people. The people at Hughes. The very best in the industry.

KEVLAR PROVIDES UNIFORM PROTECTION WHERE

IT COUNTS.

And when protection counts, the choice is fragment- resistant vests and helmets of KEVLAR aramid fiber from Du Pont. The fact is, KEVLAR sets the standard for protection throughout the free world.

Vests and helmets of KEVLAR provide uncommon fragmentation protection. Just as important, KEVLAR is inher­ently flame resistant. It won’t melt or support combustion and is self-extinguishing. What’s more, with vests and helmets of KEVLAR, you get years of Du Pont’s proven performance and technical know-how.

All this adds up to one thing Survivability. Soldiers have a better chance of survival if they are wearing helmets and vests of KEVLAR aramid fiber from Du Pont. And survivability is what really counts.

Thrilling stories of the top submarine skip­pers of all time.

harshest environment of all: the cold, crushing depths of the sea.

Author Edwyn Gray captures the essence of sub­marine warfare: the cat-and-mouse maneuvering, the heart-stopping suspense as the torpedo speeds on its mission of death, the terror of the depth charges, the fierce exultation of victory.

Tl’s ASW systems: when the naked eye isn’t good enough.

Texas Instruments

Patrolling an ocean, you need more than just the naked ^eye. Searching day and night, in fair weather and foul. Sweeping the surface for any sign of trouble. Plus moni­toring action below the surface.

For over 50 years, Texas Instruments has been equip­ping airborne sea patrols with the “eyes” they need. TI has designed, refined and produced maritime surveil­lance and ASW systems for both land and carrier-based

aircraft.

Here’s a sampling of today’s equipment roster:

• AN/APS-137 - ISAR (Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar); major upgrade of our periscope-detecting radar, for true two-dimensional real-time radar images at longer detection ranges.
• AN/APS-134 (PLUS) - periscope-detecting radar with long-range maritime surveillance capabilities; integral track-while-scan function provides highly-accurate speed and course data on multiple ship targets.
• AN/APS-124 - Radar to detect small surface targets at extended ranges, in a lightweight modular package.
• AN/AAS-36 - Infrared Detecting System, using FLIR technology invented by TI, for passive search and ship identification.
• AN/ASQ-208( V) - Advanced Digital MAD, with increased range and 20 times the reliability; under contract for P-7A.

Today’s technologies evolved from our early ASW systems. TI is constantly refining these existing technologies, plus developing new ones through extensive R&D programs.

As submarines become more and more important in the balance of strategic power in the world, the im­portance of dominating them rises proportionately. Lockheed’s accomplishments in this mission have them­selves a long history, matching each new generation of submarines with an effective counter; in the air under­water or in space. As long as there is such a means of targeting hostile submarines, regardless of how silent they become, the dynamic equilibrium that has existed between the superpowers since World War II will continue. And peace will prevail.

We’ve been searching for intelligence

The ocean is teeming with sounds. Fish, mammals, currents and even changes in temperature can create myriad noises that make it very difficult to detect a hostile submarine. Yet our national security can depend on that detection.

IBM has been providing the Navy with the ability to make such distinctions since 1970 when we first developed the AN/BQQ-5 active-passive sonar system for Los Angeles- class nuclear attack submarines.

Later, we delivered a passive sonar sys­tem, AN/BQQ-6, for the Trident sub­marines before taking on the challenging AN/BSY-1 combat control system for up­graded Los Angeles-class submarines.

One of IBM’s most complex systems inte­gration efforts ever, AN/BSY-1 weighs some 32 tons and includes 100 general purpose and 50 specialized processors, digital beam- formers, signal conditioners, displays and disk storage devices. The system requires 11.5 miles of wire cable and features 4.6 million lines of software code. Delivered on time, the system continues to exceed performance expectations.

Today IBM is part of the U.S. Navy’s team developing the combat system for the next generation nuclear-powered submarine.

We also continue to strengthen the Navy’s ability to make enemy detections from the airborne LAMPS MK III, P-3 and S-3B.

Whether it be submarines, surface ships or aircraft, this broad range of projects exemplifies IBM’s leadership in areas of sys­tems integration that are vital to our na­tional security. It also demonstrates how our program management skills allow us to solve problems of almost any magnitude.

As this century closes, these challenges become tougher by the day.

But at IBM, we’ll go deeper than ever to come up with solutions.

Washington: Autonetics has been contributing a variety of technologies to the national defense for a very, very long period of time.

McLuckey: Starting with programs as far back as the mid-50’s, teamwork and pride in quality workmanship have been driving the organization’s progress.

Gunckel: In the guidance area, you can see the steady evolution of state-of- the-art technology to meet customer requirements with equipment that’s smaller, lighter, more reliable and much less expensive than the prior generation.

McQuade: And there’s been similar progress in the areas of processing and software.

Washington: For example in data multiplexing activities for the Navy, our system is in effect a Local Area Network. We have to interface with all the major weapon systems, command and control media and displays on board ship.

McLuckey: We’ve also built upon our knowledge of avionics and avionics system integration by applying research and development monies towards

solving the customer’s future needs in the areas of terrain following and obstacle avoidance.

Duncan: That’s a characteristic of what we do. We take on these challenges to develop new products, in anticipation of the market.

McQuade: That’s the case with a lot of the technology that applies to SDI.We see derivatives being very important to the tactical world. Miniature sensors. Miniature'seekers. We are doing front- end work in support of both of those.

Duncan: The same can be said for our investment in IR technology, where today we’re being approached by every major weapon-system supplier that uses electro-optic devices.

McLuckey: We’ve become one of the two preeminent suppliers of focal planes in the United States. We’ve won major producibility contracts that will allow us to get the cost per pixel down, which is a necessary prerequisite to sell and incorporate focal planes into numerous tactical weapons.

Smith: But success takes more than technology. We’re also committed to employee involvement, communication and continuous improvement.

Gunckel: We’ve always been willing to adapt and change to meet the changing requirements of the customer. Both in terms of technology, and the way we do business. This approach allows us to focus not just on the lowest cost, but on the most cost-effective solution— the best-value solution.

Smith: Our customers see it.

They’ve said that of all the businesses they work with, we’re one of the best hands-on examples of real Total Quality Management at work.

Let’s reach a little higher. Autonetics is part of the worldwide Rockwell International team of more than 100,000 people. Working together and with our customers, we apply science and technology to reach a little higher in developing advanced systems for strategic and tactical defense.

Some people are a little surprised that we developed a new TACAN. Because ourTACANs are flying aboard a majority of all U.S. military aircraft, and because they've been chosen by the armed forces of 40 other countries. The fact is, we’ve delivered more than 27,0(X) TACANs.

Kaman. The name says command. An appropriate thought for the Navy’s new ASW attack helicopter. The Kaman SH-2G.

Already in production, the SH-2G builds upon the proven record of the SH-2F. The Navy’s most recent evolution of the unbeatable Kaman design.

But we’ve upgraded it with two powerhouse T700 engines. New avionics. And high-performance dynamics.

Now there’s even an on-board acoustic processor for totally auton­omous missions against subma­rines. Plus superb sonobouy and sonar capabilities.

When the situation gets hot, the SH-2G lets you add critical components. Like dipping sonar.

An array of missiles and special weapons. And more advanced ESM.

All of which help counter in­creasingly sophisticated threats at sea. And on land.

That’s what it takes to deliv^er performance. Now. And well into the 21st century.

Fly farther. Fight harder. Lei us put you in Kaman today!

Unsung Sailors:

The Naval Armed Guard in World War II

By Justin F. Cleichauf

Nearly 145,000 Americans served in the U.S. Naval Armed Guard in World War II protecting merchant ships and their precious cargoes in the hazardous waters of the Atlantic, Mediterranean, and Pacific, yet few people have ever heard of this branch of the Navy, and fewer still of its significant contributions to the war effort.

This dramatic history of the Naval Armed Guard, based largely on inter­views and correspondence with 150 former guardsmen, pays tribute at last to their historic efforts. While focusing on World War II, the book includes background information on the armed guard's activity in World War I and events that led to its reactivation in April 1941.

Naval historians, World War II buffs, NAG veterans and their merchant marine shipmates will welcome this comprehensive and well-written book. 480 pages/28 photos/annotations/bibliography/index/ISBN: 770-4/$29.95 USNI Member's Price: $23.96

Mk4l. One system, many weapons,

Systems

Its time has come: a single integrated shipboard system to launch the U.S. Navy’s highly potent mix of STANDARD, TOMAHAWK and VL-ASROC weapons. The Mk 41 Vertical Launching System (VLS) now 'flakes it possible to counter any threat, whether air, surface, subsurface or land-based. Fast-reacting and selective in response, it is ready 24 hours a day, regard­less of weather.

Based on a highly modular design, the Mk 41 VLS ^can be integrated aboard most surface combatants by varying the number and placement of 8-cell launcher •flodules. With all missiles and associated launch equipment below an armored deck, the VLS offers 'Aaximum survivability in battle. Each 8-cell module Performs all launch functions, providing redundancy 'vithin the launcher, thus assuring system reliability.

Currently, the Mk 41 VLS is being installed aboard the Navy’s newest AEGIS cruisers and destroyers, and

selected SPRUANCE-class ships. Development con­tinues to increase the variety of VLS weapons. FMC is working to integrate the SM2 Block IV and Sea Lance- missiles within the VLS. We are also part of an interna­tional team integrating die vertically-launched NATO Seasparrow missile.

The Mk 41 is many weapons in one, a solution for more effective, affordable defense. It is a major weapon element of AEGIS ships, enabling the fleet to prevail in high-direat zones of vital interest to our nation.
