Function over form takes center stage in UV capability debates

Article Abstract:

The issue of procurement of Light Utility Vehicles (LUVs) is focused to bring improvements in previous experiments that provided less-military specific, commercial utility vehicles, thus giving mixed results. The current trends that splits LUVs into three broad categories, namely, military-specific charges, commercial designs implies simplicity and durability, and commercial designs where form is known as Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) are described. Several LUVs are listed along with their features.

US forces expand BFT rollout

Article Abstract:

The US Army has equipped its helicopters serving in Afghanistan, Bosnia, Iraq, Kosova, and the continental US, with the Blue Force Tracking Aviation system (BFT-A), enabling their positions to be tracked on the ground in near realtime via a satellite relay. The BFT-A outfits include a rack-mounted B-kit that provides larger helicopters with two-way situation awareness (SA) position reporting and free-text/formatted messaging facilities.

Power of presentation: How technology tackles the fighter cockpit conundrum

Article Abstract:

Situational awareness has the greatest influence on the outcome of an air combat, but it is difficult to achieve since the fighter cockpit of the single-seat, multirole aircraft has numerous sophisticated controls for the pilot to master. Despite improved technology, information overload continues to be a problem for appropriate action in a combat environment.
