The innovative FF-21 frigate's flexible weapons platform accommodates systems for defense against subsurface, surface and airborne threats. This high-speed vessel features the most modern combat direction and control
systems, complete with fully integrated C3I capabilities. Automation, remote sensing, embedded training and selfdiagnostics reduce maintenance and manning requirements while increasing reliability. The FF-21 frigate, only from Newport News Shipbuilding. We're always thinking ahead.
IRSCAN
IRSCAN is Signaal's InfraRed Search and Track system. It is a fully passive infrared surveillance system capable of detecting and tracking air targets. IRSCAN detects infrared radiation such as caused by the skinheating effect of airborne vehicles. Advanced signal processing techniques result in reliable and accurate detection and tracking performance, even in adverse weather conditions, while maintaining the very low false alarm rate that is required for fully autonomous and automatic operation.

Landing Craft, Air Cushion (LCAC)
a modular platform for naval forces worldwide
LCAC EVOLVES INTO MULTIMISSION CRAFT. Since the development of the revolutionary Landing Craft, Air Cushion for amphibious assault, the LCAC has demonstrated capabilities to perform the role of a multipurpose platform. For example, a modular sweep deck has made Multipurpose Craft, Air Cushion (MCAC) an effective mine hunter/sweeper.
ADDITIONAL MISSION CAPABILITIES. Personnel Transport-modules fitted to the deck carry up to 180 people. Civil Emergency-75 tons of lift enable the craft to deliver lifesaving supplies and equipment to otherwise inaccessible sites. Medical Evacuation-speed and carrying capacity ensure rapid response and extraction.
LCAC IS ADAPTABLE TO SPECIAL NEEDS. 1,809 square feet of LCAC deck space can be outfitted with various mission equipment packages. Forty-knot speed reduces transit time during lighterage missions.

After a decade of fleet service, the Landing Craft, Air Cushion (LCAC) will enter the 21st Century as the LCAC Mark II, with markedly improved performance and an increased life span.
Meet LCAG Mark II - The Revolutionary Landing Craft Becomes Evolutionary
The craft that revolutionized amphibious defense technology will continue to define state-of-the-art by expanding its performance envelope, reducing operating costs as well as crew workload, extending service life and improving combat readiness.
The LCAC’s already legendary performance will be boosted by more powerful engines, added fuel and trim capacity, improved skirts, and a modernized command module. These changes will result in a craft that is faster, more efficient and easier to maintain. But there is more.
When the upgraded LCAC Mark II leaves our facilities, it will match the life span of other assets in the amphibious force that have served us so well in the Persian Gulf, Somalia, Bangladesh, and Haiti. As emphasis increases on naval maneuvers from the sea, the improved LCAC will continue to shine in all its

When the GE LM2500 gas turbine engine replaced steam propulsion on the U.S. Navy’s surface combatants, it started a technology revolution.
Twenty years later, the revolution continues. Today, GE builds on the LM2500’s reputation as the most efficient and reliable gas turbine in marine propulsion use.
Current enhancements include the uprate of the LM2500 to 32,000 bhp for Sealift application. As well as the proposed new recuperative cycle LM2500R. All of which go a long way to provide the increased range and overall operational savings today’s fleet demands.
Increased fuel efficiencies. Cleaner emissions. Worldwide support. It’s all ahead full for the GE LM2500.
Well into the 21 st century.

But Colonel Kennedy also questions the necessity of retaining any of the Army’s airborne establishment beyond that of the Special Forces, the Rangers, and, perhaps, an independent airborne battalion. Citing the “horrendous” experiences of the U.S., British, and German airborne operations in World War II, Colonel Kennedy gives the impression that the airborne division is as much a dinosaur as the armored division.
Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, there are many reasons why airborne forces should play an increased role in future operations:
► Airborne forces are extremely mobile over vast ranges; they are capable of faster and deeper penetrations than helicopter-borne troops.
>• They can deploy in greater strength, with fewer aircraft than armored or airmobile forces.
► With the modernization and miniaturization of weapon systems—e.g., the Javelin antitank missile, “Humvee”- mounted weapons, and the Armored Gun System (AGS)—airborne forces will pack a stronger punch and be capable of defeating powerful threats, including armored forces.
► Airborne forces are ideally suited for the rapid deployments necessary for “operations other than war”—operations that often occur in terrain that is inhospitable

The Army Tactical Missile System (TACMS) proved itself in Operation Desert Storm with a 100% success rate. Every assigned target was destroyed or rendered inoperable.

THE SQUIRE /
A Novel by Don Davis
DON DAVIS
This action-packed thriller, set in the final days of World War II, takes us from the ■
front lines in Belgium to Hitler's secret Bavarian lair and eventually to Warm Springs,
Georgia, refuge of the president of the United States. A crazed Fiihrer has devised a
scheme to deliver one final blow to the Allies that will reempower the Third Reich and throw its enemies into chaos.
To carry out his plan, Hitler sets loose an elite assassin from the SS named Wilhelm Mueller. Assigned to hunt the Nazi down is a young intelligence officer, Jack Cole, the only American who can identify Mueller. The sizzling manhunt that follows is told against a masterfully realized background of secret operations, nerve-racking submarine and aerial warfare, and the inner workings of a government with an ailing but intractable commander in chief at the helm. The pacing of this taut thriller is superb, the ending a surprise to even the most sophisticated reader. 368 pages. #l-1572/$24.95

A Defense of Kimmel and Short at Pearl Harbor
By Edward L. Beach, Capt., USN (Ret.)
Basing his argument on eminent scholarship and a life of experience in the navy and in Washington, Edward Beach challenges readers to reconsider a long-accepted judgment and right a wrong that has stood for half a century. He argues that political and military expediency alone led to the firing of Adm. Husband E. Kimmel, and Lt. Gen. Walter C. Short after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, depriving them of their good names while others of equal or greater guilt were absolved or not even accused. 240 pages. 10 Ulus.
