Dominating the terrestrial info-war

Article Abstract:

Northrop Grumman secured a full-scale development contract for a moving target indicator with synthetic aperture radar capacity from the US Air Force in 1991 under the JStars Program. The company was also involved in an initial proposal for a battlefield surveillance and management system which the Pentagon accepted in 1985. Northrop was also the favored manufacturer when its Grumman Pave Mover radar system was accepted by the US Army and Air Force for forward line of troop monitoring in 1973.

The last chance for air defence

Article Abstract:

New air defence weapons systems are designed not just to counter attacking aircraft but also the threat of supersonic anti-ship missiles. To counter the threat, new large and highly mobile caliber guns, such as 30mm 2A72 cannon and Gatling guns with high-rate barrels, are being being developed and equipped with optronic tracking systems, fire control system, sensors and radars. The guns can fire a variety of ammunitions that are effective against flying targets.
