TRAIN.
THE T-45. For a trainer, this jet has a very impressive family tree. Its makers are the same team responsible for America's top frontline fighters, the F/A-18, the AV-8B and the F-15. So it's no surprise the T-45 flies like a fighter-quick to respond and reliable in the rough spots.
It's part of a training system integrating everything from electronic classrooms for academic instruction to flight simulators and logistics systems for maintenance. The most sophisticated system of its kind, the T-45 is the Navy's newest trainer-and the place where its aces are born.

AIR SUPREMACY
IN THE HEAT OF THE BATTLE, ONE RADIO DOES IT ALL.
Introducing the new Collins AN/ARC-210 interoperable ECCM communications system. The only system that supports multi-mode communications from a single cockpit interface — and gives today’s pilots one less thing to worry about.
Designed to replace the need for several radios on board the aircraft, the ARC-210 provides VHF-FM, VHF-AM, Maritime and UHF communications, with growth capacity to include Satcom and Datalink.
It features embedded SINCGARS and Have Quick jam-resistant modes. And because it has been designed to carry airborne communications into the future, it can be readily upgraded through software
reconfiguration to advanced ECCM wave forms.
The ARC-210 is available now to accomplish today’s multi-mode interoperability requirements.

BSY-2. The Power of Evolution,
Countless generations of evolution and development have made the killer whale a model of flexibility and power. Known as the "wolf of the sea", it is one of nature's best examples of evolutionary design suited to its environment.
The AN/BSY-2 submarine combat system also benefits from evolutionary development. Like the killer whale, BSY-2 will be the most efficient and effective combat system in its environment.
BSY-2 is the first submarine combat system to institute strict design-to-cost goals, while providing extensive capabilities. The result is a highly cost-effective system with over three times the capability in the same footprint as its predecessors. And it's in production today.
As in natural evolution, flexibility is key to meeting the dynamic demands of the submarine environment. The BSY-2 open architecture with Ada-based software will meet evolving needs driven by S tomorrow's uncertain threat. This flex
ibility, combined with lower operating and support costs optimizes BSY-2 program affordability. And in this era of reduced defense spending, low cost is paramount.
An unpredictable world ... Reduced spending ... Changing needs ...
The power of BSY-2 technology is consistent with these realities as we approach the 21 st century.

AFFORDABLE ADVANCED GAS TURBINES
WESTINGHOUSE WINS ICR GAS TURBINE COMPETITION
The Navy selected Westinghouse as prime contractor, teamed with Rolls-Royce, to develop Intercooled Recuperated (ICR) Gas Turbines for surface ships of the 21st century.
Westinghouse ICR engines will be 30% more fuel efficient—saving over $120M annually in fuel costs when fully introduced into the fleet. Associated savings in the logistics force structure increases the annual savings to $600M in today’s dollars... a savings of almost twice the total cost for the 8 year ICR development program every year.
HERE TODAY, READY FOR TOMORROW.
The modular design that makes HELLFIRE versatile enough to handle today’s toughest missions is also responsible for its ability to be adapted to fulfill future roles.
Right now, HELLFIRE is operational on the AH-64 Apache and AH-1W SuperCobra and is on the OH-58D, UH-60 and MD500. Its simple interface makes it compatible with many other platforms — fixed wing aircraft, fixed ground launchers, mobile surface combat vehicles, trucks and ships.
HELLFIRE has proven effective in anti-armor, antiship and anti-bunker roles. And in anti-air missions, its high-G maneuvering capability and supersonic speed make it highly effective against helicopters.
What’s more, HELLFIRE capabilities are improving with a new tandem anti-armor warhead, an anti-ship warhead, a digital autopilot and millimeter wave and infrared fire-and-forget seekers. Together, these will make HELLFIRE effective far into the next century. Which helps explain its designation as the weapon of choice for the U.S. Army’s LHX program.
Today’s HELLFIRE. It’s more advanced, more versatile, more capable than ever before. And it’s ready for tomorrow’s missions.

A SOMEWHAT ABBREVIATED HISTORY OF MILITARY AVIATION.
In a span of more than 75 years, we’ve given flight to some of America’s most innovative aircraft programs. ,)r°grams that our military has relied on to gain and main- *a'n air superiority.
We built one of America’s first military planes for (he Navy, the NY-1. Later we introduced the first intercon- tirtental bomber. And we followed that with more innovations, like the first supersonic bomber, the first supersonic ^ghter and the first revolutionary swingwing fighter/bomber.
Today, we’re part of the three-aircraft company team producing the most advanced fighter in the world, the F-22. And we’re developing new technologies for the future production of what the Navy calls “the most survivable and capable attack aircraft in aviation history.” We’re General Dynamics. The most experienced defense contractor in military aviation history.
GENERAL DYNAMICS

Lockheed leads.
Today's pilots face a staggering array of deadly missiles-RF, IR or EO.
For forty years, Sanders has been building the systems that neutralize these threats. We've produced and delivered more electronic warfare systems than any other company in the world. Moreover, we continue to advance the state of the art, integrating the latest gallium arsenide circuitry into new expendables as well as proven jammers like the AN/ALQ-126B.
Twenty-first century fighter aircraft will require even more capable, fully integrated EW systems. Sanders has already made that technological leap with INEWS-the most sophisticated EW system ever built.
Our aircrews-Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines- must have the best possible protection. With Sanders EW systems, that's just what they get.

One Hundred Days
The Memoirs of the Falklands Battle Group Commander
By Admiral Sandy Woodward, with Patrick Robinson Foreword by The Rt. Honorable Margaret Thatcher
At times reflective and frank, at other times revealing the steely logic of a brilliant military tactician, this engrossing memoir of the Falklands War takes the reader into the heart of the fighting. From the sinking of the Belgrano and the attack on the Sheffield (see excerpt in the March 1992 Proceedings, pp. 59—63) to the final attack on Port Stanley, Admiral Woodward provides a tension-filled narrative of what really happened.
One Hundred Days is unique as a dramatic portrayal of the world of modern warfare, where equipment is of astonishing sophistication but the margins for human courage and effort are as wide as in the days of sail. 384 pages. 12 pages of photos. 18 drawings by the Admiral.
#1-6515. $24.95.
USNI MEMBERS-ONLY,
25%-OFF PREPUBLICATION PRICE: $18.71 “Not since Lord Nelson revealed his own doubts and fears in his private correspondence two centuries ago, has any senior naval commander described so frankly the loneliness of high command. This is a book that will
fascinate all who wonder how they themselves would have faced such responsibility.”
—Tom Pocock The London Times
I3ET SEA ESCORT
This memoir provides a unique look at the Coast Guard during the World War II era. From peacetime duty in the Bering Sea on the cutter Haida, to convoy duty in the Gulf of Alaska and along the Aleutians, the author recounts the ironies and hazards of life on patrol with warmth, honesty and wit. 144 pages. 35 photos.

Mk 45: a versatile weapon for today’s defense.
Emerging missions for contingency and limited objective warfare demand weapons that are both accurate and flexible. As the main gun aboard major surface combatants of the U.S. Navy, the Mk 45 is relied upon for midrange anti-surface, strike, and fire support missions. It provides our surface combatants the versatility and firepower to limit escalation of conflict, guard vital sea lanes, and protect U.S. interests on a global scale.
The Mk 45 fires all types of 5-inch 54 caliber ammunition. Rounds can be selected in any required sequence from a mixed magazine. It is the most compact, lightweight 5-inch gun ever built, and is proven in modular, containerized applications. Mk 45 can be fitted aboard ships as small as 2000 tons.
Designed for any combat environment, the Mk 45 is water-tight, and has de-icing and NBC protection. As proof of system integrity, Mk 45 is the only gun larger than 30mm to have passed the U.S. Navy’s stringent barge shock test to Military Standard 901C.
Long proven aboard U.S. Navy cruisers, destroyers and amphibious assault ships, Mk 45 is fast becoming the naval gun of choice for many other fleets. Installations include Turkish YAVUZ class and scheduled Track II frigates, and new construction ships for Greece, Australia, and New Zealand. In total, more than 150 systems have been delivered worldwide.
