U.S. naval aircraft and weapon developments

Article Abstract:

The US Navy and the Marine Corps have embarked on a series of experiments to refine their aircraft and weapons systems. In particular, the fleet battle experiments conducted by the Navy evaluated the usefulness of a prototype of a command-and-planning module in planning and executing the air defense plan of the Joint Force Commander. Other experiments focused on computer-assisted supporting fire and a land-sea engagement network that involved 22 sea stations and 80 automated on-shore stations.

Can radar help defeat the diesel-electric sub?

Article Abstract:

The US Navy will need to invest in anti-submarine warfare (ASW) radar to effectively counter the reemerging threat of diesel-electric submarines. The post-Soviet era calls for new detection technology as much of the detection technology developed during the war was effective only in detecting noisy Soviet nuclear submarines. The task is made more complicated by advances in diesel-electric technology such as in the areas of propulsion and stealth.

Radars can detect the periscope

Article Abstract:

The US Navy's Automatic Radar Periscope Detection and Discrimination (ARPDD) program is developing a radar that can detect submarine periscopes. The program aims to design and test discrimination algorithms and related software that can deal with the retrospective post-processing needed for high-confidence periscope declarations. The ARPDD used the fleet airbone radar AN/APS-137 as the basic test fixture radar in its study.
