Satellite micro-revolution offers the potential for broader vision

Article Abstract:

The changes in the spacecraft designing has resulted in smaller technologically superior satellites to support the intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition and reconnaissance (ISTAR) requirements and are capable of providing quick and precise details at a lower developmental cost and lesser time. They complement the unmanned air systems legally and physically accessing denied areas and giving quicker responses to the user's request for details and with low cost and shorter life span, the replacement is easier with better technology and minimizing costs due to the lower specification parts.

Back to the bomber

Article Abstract:

The US Air Force (USAF) is planning to revive the development of heavyweight attack aircraft. The aftermath of 9/11 and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq proved the single seat tactical fighter, on which 90% of aircraft procurement funds had been expended, ineffective and the bomber, once considered obsolete, is being reconsidered.
