Modular tank digitization system under development
Article Abstract:
Vickers Defense Systems is developing an open-architecture reconfigurable ventronics and fire-control system for digitizing armored fighting vehicles. The system is derived from a reconfigurable fire-control fit originally developed for the Malaysian Army's Mk 3(M) tank requirement. The system uses VME-based cards, an SFIM sighting system and software in C. The fire-control computer (FCC) software can be easily ported to different platforms because only 10% of the code is hardware specific. Moreover, battle-management system (BMS) functions have been integrated, allowing data from the sight to be sent to the BMS tactical picture through the fire-control system.

All genned up, nowhere to go
Article Abstract:
The PhD degree has changed dramatically over recent years, and academics now need to reconsider its role and purpose. For some observers, the PhD serves to provide general research training which will be useful for students in a number of different careers. Others see it in a more academic light, making a valuable contribution to knowledge. In the latter case, the PhD is an end in itself, using the abilities which the student already possesses.
